Amazing place to visit. Being able to walk 'underneath' the water and around the boat is such a good idea. Onboard it was really interesting to see all of the details and read about the journeys this boat had completed. I'd never heard of it until I visited but very glad I have. Small gift shop on site. Attended for a conference and it was a really good venue. Food was really good although I'm not sure if this was catered externally or not!
Friendly staff, the whole site was set up really well and we can't believe how small the beds were.
Great for everyone with a dry dock and life like recreations of the ship inside
Well worth a visit, so much to see, and your ticket is valid for 12 months multiple visits.
Excellent expanding museum and boat. A good couple of hours of entertainment. The museum starts with you being able to walk in the dry dock underneath the boat, and then you have an indoor section with lots of information and artifacts before finally you get to go up on deck and then into the cabin areas as well.
If you want to know more about Bristol - this a place to start!
Family and friends fun filled day and highly recommend complete your day by visiting Suspension Bridge too!
Have to see it when you are in Bristol, piece oof history.
It's always a favourite and the new Brunel museum is fantastic for the whole family, with a lot of interactive activities!
Fantastic museum. Well worth the ticket price. Very well put together and maintained.
Brilliant day out, tickets last for a full year so the price is actually pretty reasonable.
Thanks to the restoration, you have the possibility to go back to 1845 when the SS Great Britain started its career. As a passenger ship with an iron hull (new) a screw drive (new) then also the largest ship ever built. It must have been a wonder of the world for contemporaries. Unfortunately for K.I. Brunel, as with many of his projects, was ahead of his time. Commercially, the SS Great Britain was not a success. The flow of emigrants to the US would not start until after 1870.
The new associated museum explains everything well.
The admission tickets are registered and offer the opportunity to visit the SS Great Britain within a year.
Interactive and engaging museum ship. Interesting and fun!
An open museum tells the history of the area with the existence of old things.
It was a great surprise to discover this boat, to know all the details of its history, to walk around the different museums with ingenious and fun games, to walk on its deck, etc.
What struck me most was the wax museum that they have inside, it makes it very realistic and it's like traveling in time!
I put 4 stars because although the ticket is used to return as many times as you want in a year, tourists who can not return pay a bit too much.
A detail that I did not like was the smell of patchouli, strong cologne and camphor that gave off the inside. Otherwise, great and highly recommended!
It's very beautiful. The actors are in their roles.
Excellent place to spend half a day. So much to see. All cabin crew helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The ship itself is amazing... a bit like the Yorvic experience but aboard a ship. Loads to see and do. The 'inside Brunels mind' More
It was fascinating walking around the ship and the gentleman who we were speaking to his knowledge was second to none well worth a visit
A very well laid out route for social distancing. Plenty of insight information by guides. The ship was full of interesting facts. A small coffee and food kiosk was available. Well worth a visit.
Great experience and display, 3 hours soon went for our car park. Thought we'd have plenty of time.
Superb well worth the annual tickets a bargain a must see
Well organized, a life reappearence of boat living, strongly suggest
A tremendous place for a day out and it will be a full day out. The ship is impressive but all the gallery s and museum bits attached are really well done. My kids enjoyed it, nice cafes for lunch overlooking the river and you can take a short boat trip (extra cost) up and down the harbour.
Very cool boat and well built exhibition around it, well worth the price!
Well organised, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great location, good facilities for all the family.
Interesting. Not suitable for those with mobility issues.
Very interesting modern museum. The boat is brilliant and staff are keen to share their knowledge! "being brunel" was a new exhibit with lots to do, the moving train carriage was fun to ride in!
We went to see the Great Britain today and bask in some of the glory of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. What a fantastic restoration and the story of her recovery from the Falklands is wonderful. Great to see her preserved and all the efforts from the volunteers to make sure everyone has a super time - even in these difficult days. Really great way to spend an afternoon.
We had two days in SS Great Britain it was absolutely fantastic. What they have built in this museum is a wonderful experience
An excellent place to visit with plenty of areas depicting the time of when the ship was sailing. Detailing how it was like for passengers and crew. The icing on the cake was the lifts to all areas so anyone with walking difficulties could share in the experience of all areas. Definitely a place to visit and, if you go in a group, there is a duscpint on the guide book making it a lovely moment to take back with you.
Great experience, one of the must place to visit in Uk, unbelievable. The great thing is we could take our child buggy to all the corners of the ship.
Great place to learn very interactive good for all ages
What a great place to visit pay for tickets and can go back as many times as you want in a year will go back very soon interesting history about what the ship did in its past
What a fantastic job they are doing. A brilliant piece of history
Worth the money. Very well done and you will learn a lot.
Very interesting and well done plenty of things to see for all the family
The ship renovation is wonderful and the museum of original artifacts is excellent. The volunteer staff are so helpful and I would recommend the guided tour. Highly recommended!!
One of the most interesting 'museums' we've been to with excellent information and cafeteria. Easy parking, very close by.
Ace experience for kids and adults alike. Slightly scary for pre-schoolers, perhaps.
Really interesting lots of information about the ship if your into technology and engineering its well worth visiting.
Great experience. Really well thought out. The ship itself is amazing and very well presented. Around it is a wonderful museum. Interesting for all ages.
An absolutely fascinating museum, brilliant for adults and children.
It is worth spending time for the visit, a lot of history on this ship!
Amazing afternoon spent here. Our 2 year old daughter loved running around and exploring the ship and there was lots to keep her entertained. The layout is great as it s pretty much 3 separate museums on one site. Very interactive and informative and I love that the ticket gives you unlimited entry for a year. Can t believe I ve lived in Bristol for nearly 20 years and never been. It s in a prime location with lots to see and do either before or after and some great places to eat near by (around the M-shed)
A very well organised and very informative museum. one of the best I have ever visited!
I really liked the tour-guide, the lady was so motivated and told us interesting stories!
Amazing restoration of a unique and historically important vessel. Many excellently presented set pieces and a great illustrated talk are among the many associated things to see and hear.
Outstanding. The reconstruction of what it was like in the various different passenger classes is superb, as are the various other sections such as the galley, storage, etc. There is even a detailed reconstruction of the visible parts of the engine. This is absolutely a must-see. Highly recommended.
Impressive. It is so incredible to be able to walk through the decks and see everything the way it was back then. The tickets are a bit pricey but the experience is well worth it. Imagine yourself standing beneath the water surface and seeing the ship from that perspective. Unique. You can see the engine and even ring the bell.
Interesting, but could do with a little refurbishing. The statues are getting old! Beautiful ship, beautifully preserved though!
Amazing, great example of English heritage and engineering.
A step into our magnificent past and an insight into the engineering marvel that was Brunel. Very well presented, especially the show explaining some of the science involved, with some amusing audience participation. Might try to get back again on our year long tickets.
Hubby enjoyed it. Me and the two year old were a bit bored. It was quite busy with narrow corridors so often waiting for others to pass. Wouldn't go back in a hurry.
If you have never been to such an ancient ship like me, you should take a look. You need to buy a ticket, but the fee helps to maintain this beautiful and ancient thing.
Fascinating and very interesting place to visit. Not your average museum, helpful staff, interactive items of interest. Authentic smells and displays giving the visitor of any age an insight into life on board Brunels achievement.
