SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Totally worth the price of admission, so much history and innovation.

Great museum. Best bit for me was the hull of the ship in the dry dock. Fascinating, the replaying of the salvage was very interesting

The family attraction in Bristol! Dive into the history of some of the most important technical inventions on sea ever made.
From the building to the unbelievable story of her recovery from the Falklands, a unique piece of technical art. Enter the decks and experience how life on board was 150+ years ago.

Absolutely overwhelmed by the vision and effort that has gone in to making this a fantastic museum.

Fantastic visit. Very informative and avery important piece of marine history. Well worth a visit

Fantastic. Interactive and fun for all ages. Learnt so much. Even had a chat with Mr Brunell himself.

Great place to visit with kids
Facilities: 5/5

Price: 4/5
Main attraction: 5/5

Parking ok.

Had fun for 4 hours with the kids, good interactive displays.

Nice place to visit has improved massively in the time it's been open.

Fantastic experiencd. They have done an amazing job, there is so much of interest about Brunel with clever and inventive interactive exhibits all over the place, around the ship itself. Really needs another visit - luckily the ticket is valid for a year.

Well worth a visit unbelievable history but it's there 10out10

Great experience. The ship interior has been reconstructed and there is an informative museum adjacent too.

This ship is worth the visit only to realize how times have changed since then. Beautiful and interesting.

River Avon trip. Very enjoyable. We were lucky as had perfect weather. Well worth the trip

Worth every penny .... So interesting, staff are super helpful and the cafe excellent ... Can't say enough, plus you can use your entry ticket more than once... :)

We went for a wedding reception and had a lovely meal in unique surroundings. Highly recommended

An inspirational history of loss and great achievement

Excellent day out very interesting loads of informative displays.would gladly recomend it to all my freinds

Drastic lack of information as you go around the ship. Not a particularly good gift shop. It is popular, though. Bring back the headsets!

Always worth a visit but the gift shop merchandise is too expensive & very poor for choice

A very entertaining and informative experience, the closest you'll get to time travel!

Great day out. If your learning about Brunel then you have to do the Clifton Suspension Bridge too...

Great museum but expensive with no military or blue light discount able to be applied, yet students get discounted rate? Seems very bizarre indee . Expensive to park also as you cannot redeem your ticket at the nearest car park either so factor that into your extra cost for the visit

If you come to Bristol great historic boat to look over, in the middle of a great docks area

Didn't quite know what I'd see on my visit, what I did see far far exceeded my expectations. Fabulous

Brilliant, so much achieved by men many years ago. Unbelievable.

One of the best museums I've ever been to. The s.s great Britain has been restored to her former glory and put on display In a most dignified manner in the dry dock she was constructed in. You're able to see her up close inside and out and even head down into the dry dock and see her below the waterline.

Fabulous place to visit ideal for all the family lots to do for children but also fascinating for adults. Not to be missed if your visiting Bristol

Great place to visit. Story of the ship is fantastic, but the things IKB achieved are unbelievable. A top bloke and a top place to visit

Bel museo interattivo e con figuranti. Da visitare.

Really impressive museum. Great that the ticket lasts a year as there is so much to take in!

Everyone should see what our country can do to push available technology to its limits. Great example of genius at work

So much to see and do. Such a great learning experience and the added bonus that tickets are valid for 12 months. There was far more here than I expected. Not only the great ship but entertainment and the Brunel museum. A great place to visit for all the family. With ramps and lifts the place is as accessible as could be for a ship!

Very impressive, immersive and entertaining museum. Highly recommend for all ages. Fully wheelchair and autism accessible (from my perspective).

Lovely ship and definitely worth a visit it's our second visit. Can't imagine being in the ship in it's original time

It takes time to see it all. The ticket last a year. This means you have a chance to see more.

Awesome place, here you need to visit everyone who travels along the south coast of England

Absolutely beautiful! I would suggest going into the souvenir shop as well, I bought a beautiful Compass and Galileo's famous Thermometer. There are so many different souvenir's for dofferent preferences! The ship itself is a museum, I would suggest you visit the museum for the full experience. Have a walk around as well, it's breathtakingly beautiful!

Amazing how this ship has been brought back to life and made so accessible to the public. Walking around the inside of the ship is like stepping back in time and the staff here clearly love their jobs. The Brunel centre is also amazing with so many artifacts and showing so many sides of one of the country's greatest engineers

Amazing and interesting ship and museum to visit.
The workings of the pistons from the steam engine is fascinating.

An excellent piece of history. A very enjoyable place to visit for any age.

A fantastic experience. A ship with an interesting story.

Visited the boat to see how people used to travel to America. It was interesting to see the conditions and the difference of social classes back in the day. It definitely does worth to visit. However the entrance fee is a bit expensive.

If you're in Bristol, you have to look here, it's a place full of interesting things interspersed with a hint of fear

Stunning setting and a great experience for the whole family. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent museum and ship to look around also Cafe and Gift shop. Admission ticket valid for whole year

Maritime history at its best , the way everything to do with Great ship has been laid out and displayed to the public for viewing is exceptional , the Great man Brunel himself would be proud , having had the honor many year's ago of being one of the very first to board her after docking down in her home port , it was a delight , well worth a visit

My third visit here in the last few years, never ceases to amaze. The SS Great Britain has such a varied history, and thanks to preservation a very long life.
The Being Brunel museum is all part of the experience, as well as the very friendly and helpful staff.

A five star experience. The kids love going around the ship and dock and always happy to go back.

A must if you've any interest in engineering history, and well worth it even if you've not. Lots to see and do and the recreations seem authentic. Easy to spend three or four hours here.

Impressive museum with nice presentation of the ship itself. I had a bit of a rushed visit as I had other commitments in Bristol but the year long pass means I can return and view at leisure which is a nice touch. Parking is available nearby at a very reasonable cost - just remember to take your ticket from the parking to get a discount.

Great museum with a number of different parts. The dry dock under the ship is far better than expected and well worth a visit - it can be a little slippery so do take care if you're not steady on your feet. The main museum is a bit noisy but the displays are interesting. Do take a map of the ship as it's easy to miss some and that would be a pity as the contrasting conditions are very interesting.

Disappointed. It's only the Hull. The rest is a reproduction. And the staff are not that technically minded when discussing Brunel. One lovely lady spoke about passengers and the voyage.

Fascinating to see what the ship may have been like in its early working life, and what is being done to conserve it. Fascinating!

This a FANTASTIC museum! It's like being transported back in time. Being able to "walk under water" was a real treat. Your tickets also last a year, so if you don't have enough time to see everything the first time, you can go back - for free. Go, go NOW!

Every little detail has been thought of. The ship is located in a very clever dry dock, with glass around the hull of the ship and water on top. This allows you to walk around the outside of the hull below the water. I thought this was particularly good.
The interior of the ship was fully restored with loads to see and a lot of information to take in.The visitor centre is very interactive, with lots for children to see and do.

An incredible and immersive experience, which allows you to relive the history of a ship that has made the era.

Well worth the entrance money, a real experience seeing such a beautiful peice of British engineering

Lovely piece of history and brilliantly maintained. Definitely recommend it

Interesting place to visit. Lots of information presented in an easy to absorb way. Would recommend.

Fantastic ship to explore & the voices & smells make it brilliant.

Fantastic day out! Educational, fun, and excellent value for money. All the family enjoyed the day, young and old.

Some of the smells are eyewatering, the talks bring the ship to life
