SS Great Britain: Visualising Voices Reviews

Totally nerded out watching and getting to wall round the hull was pretty magic

If you want to go back in time then please visit Brunel's SS Great Britain in her drydock at Bristol Harbour Side its amazing it is also disabled friendly it also has a museum shop and cafe it's a fantastic day out

Amazing, was able to climb mast for an extra tenner. Superb day out.

My 3 and 5 year old have a great time here exploring; the ticket is valid for one year so it is good value for money.

Wonderful to visit and see all the hard work gone into authentically restoring this bristol built historic ship.

Very interesting and immersive, but still a bit pricey...

So much to see with lots of interactive exhibits for kids (big and small). The new extension is great and you get to go inside the mind of the man himself! Also as of today Isambard's go free!!!

Brilliant staff, very helpful and family friendly. The exhibits are nicely explained. The guided tours and presentations are worth it.

Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did so much work has gone into restoring this ship

Not only a historical ship, but also a educational museum. There are some introductions about "her" and technology in the dock. Inside the ship, there has been decorated to show how people lived that time. There were not many tourists, but I think this is totally worth a visit.

If you enjoy history you will love the museum and ship. Explore at your own pace. Ticket is good for one year also

Great ship, you can walk underneath, on the deck, and inside to the lower levels. Very atmospheric. Well maintained and renovated. Lots of friendly helpful staff. Cafe and shop on site. Car park nearby. Or you can get a ferry.

Great exhibition really brings history to life and ticket valid for a year

Fascinating place. Loads to see. Definitely worth the money as the ticket is valid for a year.

Looks nice from outside, but the entrances is way too expensive..

I could spend all day around here it's that good. The gift shop could do with carrying a wider range of gifts, other than that a good day out for all the family

Interesting please to visit. It's good for kids 8n any age.

Interesting visit of the "Great Britain in BRISTOL both inside and outside, just a pity that some important texts are not in French despite the presence of an audio guide ...

Had a great day out, lots of interesting history about the SS Great Britain. Best thing is once you buy your tickets they are valid for a year. So you can revisit as many times as you like. Plenty to keep the kids entertained. Lovely cafe as well!!

Great attraction. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Interesting on so many levels.

Excellent for all the family, and all levels of mobility.

Absolut fabules. Even if its not any of your interesse

Amazing place, so much to see and so interesting for all ages!!

One of the best exhibits we have ever been to. Well worth every penny. Take your time to explore everything. You will need 2-3 hours

The 'fake' water is amazing, it's a bit surreal walking down though the waterline to see the hull of the ship. Plus your ticket gives you access for a whole year.

Spend a perfect day here with kids. Loads to see. Tickets valid for a year. Older kids get to climb up the mast and spreader for a small charge.

The best in Bristol. Lovely boat Interesting museum Essential.

Enjoyed the museum, and the ship. Visited with 8 friends as a birthday present for one of the Friends.

Nicely preserved, not only is the ship on show but lots of period items that go to make up the whole dockside atmosphere

Loved it here, they've done an excellent preservation and the whole experience is well done, good value for money, leave yourself plenty of time to explore.

Wasn't expecting to enjoy it like that.
The museum part in the boat is full of life (use the audio guide it s part of the experience).
It is a perfect window on our past.

An absolutely fantastic place to visit, for both young and old alike. Lots of recent history displays. Accessibility is also excellent, with a lift to all levels. Allow the whole day, you won't be disappointed!

Stunning to look at and explore. But ridiculously expensive though.

Lovely ship. if ur interested in history thwn its a great place full of interesting facts

Great experience, loved the costumed actors milling around. Very enjoyable. Bit pricy but the tickets last for a year so more visits to come.

Great museum, takes 3h to visit but it is worth doing it

Amazing piece of history. Incredible restoration. Very informative without being too studious. Great shop. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Had a lovely day. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was pricey but very nice

Great place to visit. The ship is large, though the entry fee is a bit expensive, still worth to visit.

Great historic place to visit for part of a day out around Bristol. And your ticket allows free return for a year!

Interesting visit It allows you to get to the idea of how life should have been on board the ship when it was active, traveling around the world on its trips to Australia. The audio guide is included at the entrance and it is valid for one year. However it is a bit complicated to follow an organized itinerary and not leave anything to see.

Once of the best museum experiences I've ever had the pleasure of embarking on. Outweighed all expectations. Class from start to finish. Recommended starting at the museum before boarding the ship; and don't leave without seeing the drydock.

Not to be missed when in Bristol, allow at least a couple of hours to enjoy your visit. Fascinating and informative.

Its interesting enough alright day out abit but costs abot much to see seemjng as it wouldnt really be a full day out

Excellent value, very good and most interesting visit. So much information to see and take in. Great day out,

One of Bristol's best attractions, beautifully restored with good accessibility. Free return trips for a year after your visit. Check it out :)

Great family day out with lots to see and do with interactive displays with smells as well. Very well run all around!

Lots of car parking close by (not free). Really bad traffic congestion in Bristol due to major roadworks that will go on for a while.

The ship and visitor centre are all very good. There has been a serious attempt to recreate the period using mannequins and audio recordings.

The onsite cafe is good, reasonable, vegetarian selection and well located next to the river.

To trzeba zobaczy !! Przenios em si o dwa wieki wstecz.

Oh lovely place! Very very interesting! Great enterteiment for adult and kids!

Great place ..pity it was pouring down with rain..but we enjoyed the experience

Excellent place for a day out.
Very interesting, full of information.

Fantastic exhibit, fascinating and well thought out

Fabulous day ,very well restored boat drenched in history.The staff are very knowledgeable and the new museum is fascinating definitely worth a visit.

One of the best restored ships I've seen around Europe. Great day out and louds of activities.
Also, very accurate restauration and never saw a "don't touch" sign

Wow! Excellent this visit, I did not expect that at all (very ill-informed I thought of going to visit a warship whose visit would have been boring!). But not at all. There are 3 parts to the visit, first "underneath", that is to say that we can go around the hull in the dry dock, then the museum, very well documented and finally we arrive on the boat , with the highlight of the show, the whole interior reconstituted with classes, cabins, kitchens, ... There are reproductions of life scenes, with very realistic models who go about their business, there are even the smells and the sounds! Do not miss, children will love ad plan at least 2h-2h30!

Great museum for a great ship. Set in the dock that was used to build the ship the main attraction is of course the world's first iron ship but situated around are different buildings focused on it's history and of Brunel himself.
A solid 2 to 3 hours enjoyment.
