Probably the best of the historic attractions in Bristol harbour. It always has something new when I have visited with 2-3 years gaps between visits. I would recommend downloading the Brunel mile guide as well & doing the harbour walk with this commentary, before going into the SS Great Britain exhibit.
You can t even see the boat from the outside without paying... such a shame
Great afternoon looking around the SS Great Britain good value for money and added bonus of a free entry ticket for a year and the Brunel actor was excellent
Lovely kids loved it but not somewhere u can go all the time as once u have seen it its allways the same when u visit next time around
Absolutely brilliant. All the family loved it. We'll worth the money. In spite of the rain.
Excellent place for a visit. Has mannequins fighting, good films of what the ship did during the days of its voyages. If you go into brunels brain it's amazing. Ship, museum and cafe is excellent. Great historical place to visit.
A fascinating museum with plenty to see and do. The ship itself has been fully restored with the cabins and storage areas all open to view. The dry dock is open to walk round so you can see the hull and walk round the entire ship. There is the chance to climb the rigging as well! There is a really good museum dedicated to Isambard Kingdom Brunel which details his fascinating life and showcases his amazing forethought and skills. A covered picnic area is available to use for free and even has heaters if needed. Well worth a visit.
Great day out for all the family and staff very helpful
Visit of a three mast from the cargo hold to the upper deck, to see !!
Lots of things to do for children but also fantastic museum and you can walk right through it
Really great brought to life with great detail really enjoyable afternoon
One of many historical sites in Bristol. I haven't been there but I'm planning to one day!
Brilliant place to visit, make sure you stop and watch Brunel and his speach on engineering. Overall the ship is a fantastic and a great experience. Use the ferry and explore the docks and it's worth a look at buying a year pass for the ship.
Great museum about a fascinating ship on the journey it took I'm it's life before been dry docked in Bristol also great for wheelchairs & disabled
We love this place! Loads to do for children and fascinating for grown ups
We listened to a talk which was very interesting. Constant improvements mean it's a bit different year on year.
Fantastic display. Walking through the ship is amazing.
Good place to visit for the family. Looks small from across the river but has many little bits to explore. Informative exhibits everywhere. A little pricey but the ticket can be used twice in a year.
Amazing history, lovingly restored. You can easily spend a whole day just pottering around.
It's a great and interactive museum, definitely going there again someday, because the ticket is valid for one year.
Just fabulous. Came on a school trip. Better to come independently so you can take time. Fascinating. Staff knowledgable and totally immersed in their job.
Been waiting to visit for years and it didn't disappoint. Great visit, felt, very safe, very welcoming and knowledgeable staff
Lots to see here. The new Brunel museum very good. Very helpful staff. Nice touches make experience interactive in a fun and informative way. Fascinating place.
So much to see. We really enjoyed the visit. Would recommend this to all. Great day had here.
Excellent in all all respects , well presented and explained : a whole enjoyable experience
This ship is a time capsule . Totally fascinating. A must for kids.
Was hoping for a Brunel meet and greet but whatever
This had been on my "Must Visit List" for sometime. It was worth the wait. Excellent and interesting place.
Very impressive and informative. Good value for money and plenty to do and see in this area of Bristol. Me and my wife could have carried on wandering around for another day quite happily.
I am sure we will have another weekend away in Bristol again.
An iconic visit for Bristolians and visitors. The up-keep and restoration of this beautiful ship is impressive and really takes you back in time.
The restored ship is in excellent condition you have chance to wander the deck see the cabins and admire the design from underneath. It's impressive today and considering when it was built it's a wonder. It definitely deserves its status as a key attraction in Bristol. Not cheap so if you are sensitive to the price worth checking that on line but it is a marvel.
Great place to visit for an insight of what we gave to the world. Kids will love all the machinery and going down into the bowels of the ship. Beware can be a bit dark for little ones.
A wonderful place where we spent 5 hours!!
Without getting bored and we would to come again to finish our visit!!
What a wonderful visit where they managed to make us feel less like onboard on this ship that operated during 100 years!!
Thank you so much. <3
It tells a great story from Britain's maritime history.
Fantastic experience, also great if you use a wheelchair, as you have access to all part of the ship
This is really a fascinating place for kids and adults as well specially when you have engineering background. A must-visit when you are in Bristol.
For those who love their industrial and Victorian history this is a great place to visit.Brunel is regarded as one of if not the greatest engineer of the age and this ship with its fascinating story is just part of his achievemnets.
Fantastic attraction: very interactive with full visit of the ship (complete with recreated scenes with smells !). Great for all ages.
Ship in dry Dock so you can see underneath and all through the Interior
We'll worth a visit.
experience could be improved by audio guide handsets
Fabulous day out took my 12year old grandson and he was enthralled by the ship the staff and the museum
Amazing place in Bristol, a must see. Loved it and could easily spend more than 2 hours and one more if you are interested in a walk along the river. Don't miss it!!
Great visit. Can be done in a morning/afternoon and the price is fairly reasonable. Good shop too!
What a fabulous experience visiting the SS Great Britain. The museum was fascinating and the engineering technology of the day quite amazing. But inside the vessel was a whole new world of history, so well preserved and so interesting to explore. Thank you to all the people who have designed and maintained such a treasure in maritime history.
Proper good. What a place, so well put together, an amazing man with and amazing story told in an amazing way. 100% reccomended. As a bonus your ticket lasts for a year.
Good representations of engineering and social class structure. Well presented.
Really enjoyed it and worth I feel the entrance fee
Excellent, worth seeing, book tickets before hand.
Very Covid aware / good social distancing.
Inspiring example of an engineer and visionary to match the other grand Victorians famed only for their soldiering, politicing, scribbling or hypocrisy.
The ship is well presented and the role playing and costumed stewards are approachable and knowledgeable.
Equally inspiring is the story of its salvage from semi submersion in the Falklands.
The Brunel museum is good, spoilt only by the grotesque fibre glass? Kristy the Klown style Head of IKB dominating one of the exhibition rooms, I wander if he would have been impressed by this Disney example of "engineering"
All in all a good short day or full morning visit.
Great experience of Brunel ship, & the conservation if this vessel.
It's really a fantastic museum. The ship itself is set up beautifully and it's full of stories and very interactive. Great place to take kids of all ages to. They also organise special workshops for kids. A must see!
Lovely staff ,right by the water and good ticket prices
Perfect for an excursion with children and show them every detail of the boat. The super realistic figures recreate perfectly what life was like aboard the SS GB. I liked it a lot, it was a shame that I went with little time and with a baby car that made it very difficult for me to stay there. Another point in favor is that children under five years of age enter for free
Truly amazing. A real feat of engineering restoration
Great visit and worth spending an hour or two here. Very interesting.
They have worked really hard to recreate the original ship and the job has been superb. It is very visually informative and there are plenty of signs explaining things. There is something for everyone there.
Great to have a look around and experience what life was like on the boat
