SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Brilliantly done, lots of info and funny and intricate nuances.

Fantastic place to visit also they give you the sounds and smells from the era

An amazing ship, amazing conservation and an amazing story. Well worth a visit.

We wanted in particular to visit the ' Being Brunel' exhibition which opened last year . We read everything and so Interesting. We were in there several hours...and there's lots more to visit and see regarding the SS Great Britain.. as we have been a few times before we devoted our time to doing what we especially wanted to do.
As the ticket lasts one year we shall certainly go back and look at everything we want to look at again. Excellent!

Unbelievable day great day out well done everyone for rescuing this magnificent ship

This has to be one of the best attractions I have visited, it's informative, interesting and a wonder as to the work put in to bring the SS Great Britain back to Bristol and restore her.

Very nice visit, the boat is beautiful and replaces us in a period atmosphere, the museum is also very well done, the visit is however quite a long attention.

Great day. Really interesting day and my 6 year old loved it. Great family day out

Excellent. Informative very interesting .wonderful displays. Staff so helpful and polite . Such good value .will visit again .Our grandchildren enjoyed the visit too.
Aged 6 and 10 years of age . A great day .

It is a fantastic family day out. This is absolutely the go-to-place for anyone visiting Bristol. The SS Great Britain is a breath taking majestic grandeur of engineering, style, and class. The ship has been faithfully restored, and the hull has been preserved. The drydock area is simply amazing and a must see!! It puts everything into scale and perspective when you see the size of the dock, ship hull, and propeller/rudder. The view from the deck is very nice on a sunny day, would recommend you explore the deck fully. Don't forget to visit the engine room below to meet the guide who will explain why this great ship is the "great great great grand father" of all modern ship designs. Also you (hopefully) will see the engine pistols turn which is a amazing site to see it working. Would recommend you arrive a hour earlier before it opens to visit the dockyard cafe next door for breakfast. Then enter as soon as it opens to avoid queues. If you are arriving by car, you absolutely need to arrive early as the car park fills up quickly. You will also get a voucher from the parking ticket machine for ss Great Britain (but not absolutely sure what it offers as it does not present any details) . But the current prices are very good value for money, tickets last for one year, unlimited entry.

Brilliant! 19thC British engineering and maritime history at it's best! A great day out whether you are an adult visiting by yourself; as a family or larger group.

First class exhibit. Really interesting and full of history. Don't miss it if you're in town.

Excellent piece of British history. Can easily spend many hours here alone with so much to see.

Very good staff, the boat is really beautiful and the museum too, it's a big yes.

Much improved since our last visit about 10 years ago. Lots of artifacts and documents well displayed so not overwhelming. Wandering around the ship above and below is fascinating and You can really imagine what it might have been like on a voyage. The ticket lasts a year so will go back to take in some more.

Lovely experience! I recommend this place for people who are looking for a bit of history with a bit of fun and art!

A piece of history in an interesting historic location. Once I had purchased my tickets I can return for free throughout 2019. Already been twice.

Superb experience. If you've seen the Cutty Sark it's a similar but at least as good an experience. The guy who plays the great Brunel us a genius actor to the kids in the audience. The ship itself is excellently presented in it's place in history. It's a must-see if you're in the area.

Amazing infotainment for the whole family. Will definitely return.

Superb exhibition which is a fitting tribute to the genius of Brunel. I was amazed that you could walk around the hull in the dry dock and the inside exhibition brought alive the daily life on board. Thoroughly recommended

We had our American friends with us and they couldn't praise the SS GB highly enough. Go and see for yourself! It's amazing!

An exceptional museum to explore the life and works of the genius of Victorian engineering Brunel.

I have not entered the warships to be paid for, and the parking is far away and inconvenient.

Fantastic few hours ...really interesting and good fun

A lot of history behind this ship. Well done reconstructions. Nice outdoor area, majestic the ship!

Great day, our 7 year old granddaughter daughter found it very interesting, all staff very helpful and extremely polite. Hand sanatise facilities everywhere. Felt very safe.

Excellent museum of this Brunel ship and plenty of history well worth the visit

An interesting destination in Bristol. It is worth reserving a lot of time to explore. A pleasant area with its surrounding area spends the summer day.

In a word - a revelation. You must visit this place while in Bristol. Faithfully reproduced life of the ship - from the figure, through the sounds, to the smells - which is the most surprising. The ship is very interesting and definitely worth the price. I also recommend for children - they will not be bored.
An additional interesting attraction is the possibility of entering one of the masts of the ship - of course, in an appropriate security and under the supervision of an instructor.
I recommend - a trip for half a day that guarantees a lot of memories.

MUST VISIT! I loved how it was both entertaining and educational at the same time. I learned a lot about SS Great Britain and love that we were able to go around the ship and inside the ship as well :)

Great visitor experience when on a day out in Bristol

Really good, the ship by itself would be worth it, but you also get two museums as well.

Awesome look inside Brunel's mind. Spectacular engineering. Well renovated.

This is a great thing. I went on here back in the 80s and it was just a pile of rusting junk in the bleak and aggressive city that was Bristol 30 years ago. Now it's all done up and a really atmospheric and fun experience. It's impressive.

Great museum incorporating the ship. Plenty of interactive display items to immerse yourself in.

Very interesting and insightful display with lots of unique exhibits.

Great museum, something for all the family, and an Instagram treasure trove ;)

Exceptional attraction, really interesting, the ship has been restored very well, it is a pleasure to visit the interior of the ship.

The best museum in Europe, even fragrances, reflect the reality of how people and animals sailed on this ship

Really good museum, ship was really well restored and extremely interesting. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed visiting with my 6 year old kid. Well maintained and you need to spend at least few hours to get the feel of it. There was climbing activity on the top floor but my kid being very young, was not showing much interest in it. The tickets allows you to visit the ship N number of times for a year and hence no need to rush.

What a place at first the price takes you back a bit and the you go find out it's for a whole year and then it's worth every penny.
Very educational and interactive children and adults will both find it a great place

it was an amazing experience and the Volunteer coordinator was amazing

Fantastic day out for all family. Walk around docks, have lunch, go around the ship, enjoy new Brunel Museum. A really wonderful experience and you learn lots into the bargain. Great shop too!

A fantastic place to learn about ISB and his famous ship

Looking under the boat at the keel is great. It's fun to invent a ship yourself - go down there, too.

Amazing experience. Very interactive museum. Highly recommend taking the time to explore this one of a kind ship and to climb the rigging!

Great family friendly museum with a really good feel for how the SS Great Britain must have felt like when it was used as the worlds first Ocean Liner. Lots to sea, with interactive exhibits and even some realistic smells! The below sea-level dry dock is really cool too

Watch out for the massive creepy Brunel head in the museum, you can go inside it...

Brilliant, but shame the Brunel exhibition is closed on the weekend. A cheaper rate for the weekend would have made it 5 stars.

Really good place which provides plenty of information about the ships history and the work that's been done to preserve it.

I found it a little creepy but my children love it so would definitely go again the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

One of the best historical sites I have visited in the UK. Well worth visiting if you're spending time in Bristol.

Great exhibition. Lots to see and read about. Ticket valid for one year so you can go back as many times as you like

Utterly fascinating, a real trip down history lane. Well worth

FANTASTIC family day out,very interesting what clever man Brunel was.
