SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Beautiful boat with a lot of history. They have guides in Spanish. Tour of more than 2 hours with many historical and technical details of the ship and the life of the engineer who developed the ship.

An amazing attraction with some great displays, interactive content and informative guides. My two boys and I had a great few hours learning the historical significance of the SS Great Britain and the contributions of Brunel himself. A must see if you're in Bristol.

Really interesting day out with lots to see and a good coffee shop. Arriving by the ferry bus boat gives you a great view of the ship if you stay on until the boat turns around after its final stop.

Brilliant museum, accessible for those with disabilities. The only negative is the rather pricey souvenirs.

OAP, Mother and children enjoyed the ship, just glad we never crewed it!

Great ship and the Museum on Brunel is excellent, a new addition to the experience of visiting the ship and enabled us to find out so much more about thos wonderful engineer and inventor.

It is brilliant place to go in bristol and also is good for learning about the boat and bruenels life and how he started to build the gwr mainline

Oldest Iron Steamship/,liner. Travelled 1 million miles. A must see!

Execellently presented museum with great guided tours

Fab ship, friendly staff & shows very entertaining.

In two hours you can visit the ship inside and outside in the drydock. Inside there is a whole world: really accurate reconstruction of the ship's life. Worth every single pound.

Fantastic place to visit, I was pleasantly surprised with how much there is to do and see here.

This fully interactive museum is full of information and properly engages all the senses. A must visit for everybody with any level of interest of Bristol's history.

Among with the bridge, this is probably the main attraction in Bristol. From the distance doesn't look like something worth the visit and we even think in skip it because of time constraints, but we didn't and what a surprise.

It has a museum, a dry deck and the ship interior. All of it is very well done and made with care. It absolutely worth it to visit it and listen to the history of this ship.

SS Great Britain is a wonderful piece of history. It's brilliant for adults and children to visit. The price to get in isn't too much, and you get free returns for a year! Which is really brilliant if you have little kids in rainy weather as you can just pop there for a few hours and they can run around the ship. Also a lovely cafe outside on the harbourside with lovely coffee and wonderful vegan cake options.

An enjoyable morning. The SS Great Britain has been sympathetically interpretated making it accessible to all. A little more technical information would be appreciated.

A great place to visit and explore the works of Brunel. Plenty to see and explore with interactive exhibits. The SS Great Britain is brilliant and it's story, useage, recovery and restoration are fantastic. Lovely friendly and knowledgeable staff are always at hand to offer advice and answers any questions. Well worth a visit.

Always such fun to visit; definitely get the most out of our tickets by coming several times a year. A good place for all weathers too.

Brunels Dream came true, and now she is more then 170 years old.

Great day out. Kids enjoyed the new activity packs (included in the entrance fee). Will definitely be returning (unlimited return visits in 12 months)

What a lovely quirky venue to get married at, here with our vintage style Imperial wedding car.

One of the best museum/historic attractions I've ever been to. Great value for money. The ship is AMAZING.

Visiting the Ship Museum in Bristol was a journey back in time. Great.

It s worthy for the price! Amazing place! Endless joy:)

Fantastic shiop fantastic museum ideally for kids. In summer there are some day volunteer family that are very interesting

We attended a special Christmas meal. Very good quality and superb value. Definitely thinking of doing this again next year.

Looked good, but too pricey for family plus to go inside

Make sure you allocate a full day to fully appreciate this stunning attraction.

Staff helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Very interesting. Superb for s family visit.

So much history. There are people in costume acting their parts. At certain times of the year there are activities for children. Rooms on the ship are done out for authenticity, also kitchen, dining room and steerage. Fantastic museum. This is truly a great visit. Buy a ticket and return as many times as you like for a year

Excellent, very interesting a great day out for all the family. Buy a ticket and it will last 12 months. Plenty of parking, but can be expensive if you stay for a long time.

This you need to take you time to look around to take it in

Great attraction, visit clifton bridge at the same time, fantastic day out!

Fascinating story of Brunel's ingenuity and the history of this ship. Well presented exhibition in dry dock after rescue and preservation.

A wonderful visit and an important part of maritime history

Brilliant place to discover all about SS Great Britain and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Fantastic volunteer guides, good social distancing measures, loved it.

If old ships are interesting, then you have to go to Portsmouth. Everything is too modest here.

Great day out, liked how they have done the one way system on board the ship, staff friendly, a very worthwile day out

a top attracton. The ship is amazing but really well complemented by very well put together museums. Ticket lasts a year so you dont have to do it all in one go

Great place to visit. Excellently puts the exhibits into context and explains the history and preservation of the ship very well. The on-board sounds and smells really help to put you in a spot of history. Suitable for all ages. Facilities are good and transport to/from is good by ferry.

Really impressive! All reconstructions of the inside of the ship are so carefully and realistically crafted. All descriptions very informative and accurate. Really most interesting and enjoyable experience. The ticket allows entry for 1 year: i am definitely going to go back soon.

Great experience and lots of fun for the kids. Special thanks to all the volunteers explaining and guiding

Fantastic day out for the whole family. Good value as the tickets are valid for a year. The family enjoyed it so much we went back twice in a week. Also lots of different events on during the year.

Great visitor attraction, lots to see. Return free for a year.

Extremely good. Caters for all ages. Worth visiting twice. Little pricey for once a year visitor.

We had a wonderful day on-board having lunch in the saloon to celebrate my partners grandparents Blue Sapphire Wedding anniversary! It's a wonderful day out packed full of learning and interesting details in the surrounding museum exploring the great mind of Brunel and all of his fascinating achievements. There's plenty to do for all the family including the opportunity to scale the mast and absail back down. Plus you are right on Bristol Harbourside packed full of entertainment.

An excellent afternoon was spent here. There was much to see and do, both inside and outside of the ship. The story of how the ship was returned to its birthplace is most interesting. There's a rather good cafe next to the ship. Recommended.

What an amazing place! They have truly brought it back to life. Totally unexpected.... Absolutely worth a visit and give yourself at the very least 1.5 hours... Also don't forget to give in your car park ticket from the neighbouring car park for a partial refund. We did struggle to get a space but persevere!

Lots to see and do, well organised. Suitable for all ages. Going underneath the water was very interesting as was seeing the different levels of berths and cabins. Toilets and bathing facinating. Well worth a visit and your ticket is valid for many returns within the year.

Lots to see there and also you can go as much as you like for the year!

Absolutely fabulous. Don't hesitate it's worth every penny of the entrance fee. Really interesting, we spent hours in there.

The photo below is the enterence to the SS Great Britain. The ship has a wonderful history and shares the same designer as the Clifton Bridge, the designer being Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The ship was the largest longest passenger ship of its time. I believe it was also the one of the first iron built ships. There is a bit of a checkered history around the activities of the boat with many people believing it was used to bring slaves from Africa to England. The ship took only 4 years to build and it is truly impressive to see the detail in the construction. The ship builders of that time were more like artists rather than builders. Its strongly recommended to visit this ship and if you are preparing a visit to Bristol you really should read up on Isambard. His name appears in may places around the city and his designs are some of the most wonderful and daring of their time.

Fascinating, the 'crew' were very knowledgeable and helpful

Got to see the SS Great Britain in all its glory! There is plenty to see and do here to learn about this history of this ship and can spend an entire day here if you really want!

Great place to visit for both locals and tourists to Bristol. A step back in history to learn about Victorian ship making and of course the famous engineer Brunel himself. So much to see and do, you can easily spend a few hours at the museum.

Beautiful ship to spend a nice afternoon with the children too. The reconstructions inside the cabins are wonderful

Very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Highly recommend.

well done! a great experience! a visit here is worth it!

Amazing place to visit with loads to do. Really interesting to learn so much about Brunel.

Excellent visit. Love the recently opened Brunel Museum! We'll be back, that's for sure ... with the grandkids!

Great experience with my son, lots of interactive bits to play with a great step back in time.

Very interesting, great way to spend a few hours and get educated!

Wonderful ship. Beautifully preserved, even if it is a work on progress. Well worth the journey.
