SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Not cheap but it greatly exceeds expectations and I feel I will want to take advantage of the return any time within a year tickets

It is a beautiful boat accompanied by a very good museum perfectly complete. Everything was magic. Note that the visit is long, minimum 2 hours to see almost everything. 1h30 will be enough if we press the pace. Take your afternoon if you want to explore the historic site from top to bottom.
NB: do not forget to ask the audioguides which are free and ultra complete (the best I have ever used)

Alhough I baulked at the entrance price, I quickly realised it was worth every penny. Very well restored with a lot of effort and attention to detail. If you take your time walking through the ship then you get all the more value, taking in all the nuances. I spent half a day here and could have spent more if I hadn't have needed to get home.

Interesting insight into a part of the history of Bristol

Visited site four years ago which was very good. Have made previous report.

Really excellent. Would have liked a little more explanation about the things on board ship. Highly recommended.

Excellent place, is due to get even better, and the ticket is also an annual pass!

Fantastic place - the ship is wonderful! Lots to see.

Really enjoyable few hours with 2children. Fun and educational in our home city. Well worth the cost of the ticket although can return again for free. Reasonably priced carpark right next to the ship. Staff were lovely and keen to interact. They were very pleased to see us having just reopened following the lockdown. One way system and measures in place to keep everyone safe. Cheap things for the kids to buy in the gift shop and decent fish and chips in the cafe. Come on Bristol support this brilliant friendly attraction in its time of need!

Throughly enjoyable time with my 2 boys 15 and 10. Staff were brilliant too. Looking forward to going next year when the new museum opens. Highly recommend.

At first was a little taken back by the price however once in the exhibition it was great! Really detailed accounts of the history of the ss Great Britian and all its journeys. Would definitely recommend stopping in while in Bristol!

Loved it. Last visited over 25 years ago and things have changed a LOT! All for the good, it's excellent now and we'll be back.

Amazing day out with kids, lots of things which they can touch and try, easy you can spend there 4 hours

A great piece of history, well displayed.
Whoever thought of the "sea level" glass deck with water on top is a genius!
Staff were all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

We loved our day out here! I thought the 4 year old would get bored after an hour or so, so was glad that tickets can be used for 12 months, but in actual fact she was fascinated, and we stayed much longer than I expected. She loved the interactive bits in the museum, especially the train carriage in the Being Brunel museum. We will definitely get money s worth from our year tickets!

This is one of the best ship museums in the world. Bursting with history and interesting facts and fun. An absolute must for visitors to Bristol. Very happy to award a Phillip Du Saint star of excellence

Great exhibition and restoration of our maritime history. We really enjoyed the time spent exploring the ship and museum. All the staff and guides were very helpful, a special mention for Ryan. If you are visiting Bristol I can highly recommend the experience and I have the t-shirt....

Amazing amazing amazing!
Well worth a visit. The ticket lasts all year!

Great family day out for all ages, my 6 year old lived it.

Beautiful ship and great history sadly too expensive for families

Set in the old port, still a busy and part modern area, the ship is located in its own Dry Dock allowing you to to explore both the outside of the ship and the amazing interiors. Disabled access is very good, lots of information and interactive stuff for kids and big kids! Staff and costumed interpreters are always around to chat to you. Gift shop and cafe are also very good, GF selection available for snacks. The old port is well worth a walk and there are boat tours and ferries when you are flagging.

Very interesting and great day out. i am not sure if this place has toilets but has a great Museum about Brunel. There is an activity on for climbing up the ship.

Authentic experience with wax works which really make it realistic and historic visit.

Good piece of history. I ve never experienced the ability to view a ship from a dry dock before. The experience wasn t just about what you can see but also what you can smell (a foul old stench at the front of the boat) but hey, that makes it even more historical :D

I really enjoyed my visit to this museum ship. The displays are well done and life like. A must-see in Bristol!

Lovely for children. Lots of interactive games for kids and you learn so much new things

is good, the price of admission is excessive, 18 pounds, I think they could rethink it and that more people can enjoy the visit

excellent, interesting tourist attraction. great for families. Tickets get access for a year so ya can't go wrong!

We took out kids there, but my husband was the one who enjoyed it the most :) Perfect for those interested in history.

We really enjoyed our trip. Social distancing and COVID precautions are well organised and it was really interesting.

Ticket valid for a year once purchased also 5% discount if you book online.
Great for all ages you can also climb the rigging included in the price and if you like heights. New Brunel exhibition also good for all ages that's where you will find the giant head.
Also good if the weather is not as great as most things are inside.

Absolutely marvellous, informative and worth every penny. Disabled access all over. Great cafeteria.

What a fantastic tourist attraction to be able to negotiate this ship in a wheelchair is beyond my expectations. I think this goes above and beyond accessibility for people with disabilities. On my visit I was able to visit all the decks and the hull and the staff were very friendly and informative. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone.

There is something to watch
A very interesting place
recommend

History technology engineering cutting edge for its time. Hands on well presented attraction.

A Fabulous place well worth the visit. Such a lot to see and to learn about the great man himself. Great storytelling of the ships history & makes you feel as though you're part of the voyage. Along with background character dramatisations, ship voyage sounds, smells and visual layouts, it's very well put together and a great experience for young and old.

Excellent: incredibly well thought out, huge amount to see and do, including two museums, the restored ship, and the dry dockp

really beautiful, to visit, the ticket costs 16.50 and is a bit 'expensive but worth it

An Interesting day out taking a step back in time. Lots of activities and exhibits for the children to get involved in.

Amazing. Such a great place. Feel so proud of Bristol and all the work the volunteers are doing to preserve this amazing asset for the city. The ticket is great value allowing you to return for a year. Thanks to everyone for their great efforts.

What a great day and what a fantastic ship she is, well done to all who keep her looking fantastic.

Really lovely place to visit in. In the summer time it's absolutely amazing and totally beautiful. When you buy a ticket you get to return again on the same ticket. Perfect for a family day out or a romantic day out. The water front that it sits on is so nice to be around and there is loads of restaurants, bars, clubs, and it is a generally nice place to be .

Such a well laid out attraction, very historical journey threw an incredible ship. Absolutely worth the visit.

Fantastic piece of history, impressive set up, well worth the money, can spend at least 2 - 3 hours taking in the history.

Haven't bee since i was a child. Wow the view underneath was really cool. Even our 4 year old loved it, now 5.

Fantastic attraction. Really well designed and laid out. Learnt alot about one of the UKs greatest engineers.

Really impressive work with bringing the interiors into shape. Plenty of original ship elements in the muzeum. And the ticket is valid for a year!

Great place, well laid out and presented. IKB, what an awesome guy!

History of the most interesting type superbly presented.

Brunel's amazing engineering, very well worth the entrance fee, must go again

A fascinating exhibition and well told story. It is fantastic that this historic ship was rescued and restored.

Amazing, Brunel was a genius and the drawings in the museum just show you how much of a genius he was. The ship is very impressive. The only thing I will say is the entry price is a little steep (I know you can go as many times as you want within a year, but I don't live near enough to take advantage of that), that's not to say I don't appreciate what that money is going towards, just feel a lower price would get more people in.

Well worth a visit will go again the tickets last 12 months they have very helpful staff

It has been some years since we visited SS Great Britain and the advances in the displays were wonderful. It was really worth a revisit to see how they have brought the past back to life. Would recommend it to anyone wanting an excellent day out. The cafe was good, coffee, soup and tea were well worth the money

Extremely expensive. Should consider lowing the price. Don t think I will be coming to look around anytime soon. Absolutely disgusting
