SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Great museum. Very interesting boat with lovely helpful staff.

Second visit excellent value for money, loads to see.
Friendly knowledgeable guides.
Only downside is Bristol traffic,
Recommend for the whole family.

Top place to visit. Free return entry within a year.

I loved learning about Brunel! A good balance of information and interaction, and the best historic ship in the area. The inside has been refitted as a mock-up of a few different areas, and it looks like the passengers and crew have just stepped away for a bit.

A very nicely designed museum where not only ship lovers will have fun. Because of the many interactive stations, a passport for children and disguised actors, the museum is also very suitable for children.
The cards are valid for one year, but still don't cost much.

Used the SS Great Britain as my Wedding venue and can't praise it enough. Both the SS staff and the catering staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly, some of the nicest people I've ever met. Organisation is faultless, I can't believe how easy and well my Wedding day went and that couldn't have been achieved without these guys.
The ship itself is stunning, perfect as a venue but also so historical and unique. I know I'm biased, but I think this was the best Wedding I've ever been too!!

Excellent explanation of the physical and historical part of the ship, the first recognized transatlantic.
Surprising visit to keel, helices and rudder.
The price a little expensive is compensated for what you see and they tell you.

Good fun and very impressive and we all had fun but like a lot of places now it was quite expensive.

Steeped in history so well planned an amazing place to visit for the young and old

Soo good it is next to the docks and you can see sea cadets and ferry s also you can climb the masts of the ship really fun and smells like it would of

Fascinating day out, includes free entry to visit again within a year

Pretty good display of its type - sadly no audio guides. Good museum & shop attached easy parking

Brilliant place to take the kids on a day out with the sunshine. Plenty to see and do, they can even climb the mast! A ticket last you a whole year meaning you can go back whenever. Prime location with ice-cream and cafes close by.

Beautiful reconstruction of the rooms and particular note of the different and typical smells of the kitchen of the bunks. All particular

What a great place - the family loved it. The museum part was very interesting with very interactive activities including lifting the ships old propeller! There is then the ship itself with various levels alto explore and some interesting smells to add to the authenticity. Finally you can go into the old dry dock and see the bottom of the vessel. All of this is wheelchair and pram accessable. One of the best attractions in Bristol.

Great place to visit, lots to see, interesting for everyone! Highly recommend, it s definitely worth the price.

This was a very interesting exhibit. We spent about 2 to 3 hours here. The whole thing was very well presented and we were not bored for a single moment.

Simply stunning. Great, well informed and exceptionally helpful staff. Great shop and library.

It was very nice experience to see Brunel heritage.

Wow, visit and you will love everything about the place

Amazing. Can't believe I've never been here before. The kids loved it.

An amazing place to visit. Fantastic for young and old. The full story of the ship. The people who sailed in her and the man who designed her. A must place to visit. Allow at least 3 hours for the full experience.

I found this to be a really good place. A ticket allows you access for a year after purchase.

Fabulous place to visit, would not eat there exceot a snack

Excellent restoration of a wonderful piece of history. Spent three hours wandering around the ss great Britain

We did not look at them because it is just too expensive.

Very good job with social distancing. It still has all the great character it should, with food, drink & toilets available, while following guidelines to avoid covid.

Amazing how much this has been done up since it returned to Bristol. Two museums and the boat make this a great day out.

Well worth the visit to see this important piece of British maritime history.

Well worth the visit. Initially thought it was expensive but very impressed when I went in. They have paid a lot of attention to detail including smells, and sounds, background conversation to make it a worthwhile attraction.

Wonderful time had exploring all around the ship inside and out. With some very helpful and informative staff

Engaging and friendly staff and tour guide and workshop with the kids. Would certainly go again.

The ship is really well set recreating boat life at the time. The Brunel museum on the building is also well worth it.

Great evening out and enjoyable performance by the theater company.

Super worth it I am very happy I will definitely use it again

The site is atmospheric, the ship itself, in original dry dock has been lovingly restored. The place was buzzing with visitors, exploring the ship herself tells such a story. Impressive and fascinating, for all ages. Good gift shop, 'crew's staff really friendly and enthusiastic.
Bristol is an amazing city and the ship and Brunel, her designer, contribute to her rich history.
After visit I had a lunch and wine, sitting on deck over the harbour waters. Delightful afternoon watching ferries kayaks boats come by.
Travelled by GWR from London which was part of the adventure and magic of the day for me.

A great family day out. Tickets are valid for 12 months so could come back as many times as possible.

Super interesting exhibition about the first large iron ship with steam drive and propeller, as well as its builder.
The information is short but interesting. The actors involve you in conversations with great anecdotes and all sorts of interesting facts.
The exploration of the restored ship is fun and serves ALL sensory impressions. We had a stay of about 4 hours, which was never boring.
It also offers audio guides with sufficiently short explanations in different languages.

Great to be able to see what the ship would have looked like when it was in use. Climbing the mast & rigging was great fun too!

Well worth seeing the entrance ticket last for twelve months. So if you run of time you can always go back at a later date.

Amazing attraction. You can walk under the ship, on the deck and through authentic rooms below deck. Highly recommended.

Been there a couple of times. I love local history. I have also heard that it is haunted by the captain of the ship when it saled to Australia and he took his own life.

Absolutely brilliant place will be coming back soon again and again and again so much to see

Exceptional "museum". Short waiting times. Courteous staff, who even distributed umbrellas in the rain. As everything in the UK is not necessarily cheap, but the tickets are valid for a full year

Spectacular. A highly recommended visit if you are in Bristol.

Fascinating insight into the life of Brunel and of course the excellent history of the refurbishment of the SS Great Britain

Phenomenal museum. Really informative and well laid out with engaging exhibits. Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable!

Excellent visit to an important piece of our history. Covid measures didn't spoil the experience. Access fully open. Really enjoyed it.

Very nice boat to visit, very instructing with kids

Admission is a bit pricey but worth it I'd say.....

Beautiful , legendary Ocean liner , Must visit in Bristol

Fascinating trip in to history and one of the greatest engineering feats of its time!

Learn, have a great time, time well spent in this beautiful city.

Beautiful historic ship. Shame the entrance is so steep.

Very interesting insight into Victorian life and engineering.

The ship is fascinating, will surely come back with the family!

How fantastic was this. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect, very informative, well set out. Would highly recommend.

Nice place to spend an hour or two...interesting interactive projections. Would be more helpful if accompanied by a guide

How they have turned the SS Great Britain into a walk though museum is great, it's really nice to see and feel a piece of Bristol history. The tickets last for a year so you can come back as many times as you like. A good activity for kids as there is a lot to take in and explore. Would recommend checking it out.

Its fairly dear, but its well worth a visit. Well preserved with nearby parking, attentive, knowledgeable staff and a cute gift shop. Nearby area is great to walk around as well with lots of places to eat within a short radius.
I've also been lucky enough to have a Christmas party here, this is a great venue for 100/200 odd staff. The catering is great and its a really unique place to have a party, great staff as well!

Fabulous! A great place to visit- and you can return for free for a whole year! To see the remarkable feat of engineering and also have a close up look at life aboard ship was a true delight.

Nice place..lots to do and see. Cafe was extortionate prices for cans wouldn't go back to cafe if went again
