The Roman Baths Reviews

Fantastic, prebook your tickets to avoid the very long queue to go in.

You can walk on the same stone steps as Roman citizens did 1600 years ago. It's an amazing thing that this bath still functions. With a new roof this could be reconstructed to a working bath, it's in such good relative condition for an ancient structure.

So much interesting information! You probably won't have time to listen to everything on the audio guide. My husband and I listened to almost everything in the museum part and by the time we were actually next to the baths, we couldn't listen much more! Such great history and storytelling. There was quite a bit for children too!

I didn't have the swimsuit!!! But I felt and drank the warm waters!!

This place is amazing. It's so rich in history and artifacts from the original baths and temple! The museum is large, immersive and so amazingly arranged. I thought it was going to be a quick in and out but this definitely took 2hours to do. This might be mostly be in part because it was crowded so it took a bit to see some things. The baths are large and the audio tour is so informative. Definitely worth a visit.

Good but very busy .. recommend you book in advance

Excellent very interesting and much more to see than I thought. Guided tour was very informative and worthwhile as well.

This was one of my favorite places on our trip across the UK. you can literally feel the history in the walls and all around you. You instantly feel like you've gone back in time.

I am scepticat about places like this but. Nice surprise. Well worth 14 quid

If you like Roman history and architecture you definitely have to visit this place! There is a lot to see, so you will need at least two hours to enjoy the tour. The ticket includes an audioguide in twelve languages but you can decide when to stop and what information do you want to hear.

Well kept, lovely bit of history, right in the center of Bath. You could fly round it in an hour, if you just want a quick taste of history, or sink a few hours in, if you listen to all the audio guides. Nice little shop and cafe to end.

Steeped in Roman and pre-roman history, lots of exhibits besides the main bath pool. I'd forgotten how many separate ancient spa pools and other areas there were there. Very busy on day I was there, free audio headsets describe the various areas as you wind your way through a labyrinth of spaces. No 1 visitor attraction in Bath, don't miss it. Allow at least 2 hours.

Well preserved Roman baths...i loved the most the holograms that shows the actual imaginated scenes that took place in the edifice...You will really feel the experience and even smell it in the air...The architecture and the construction techniques will blow your mind...The staff are welcoming and so warm and helpful...

So much history here, we got a behind the scenes tour with Trafalgar. I didn't like history in school, but actually visiting historic places makes it fun.

Very well organised place. A lot of information and history. Worth visiting.

Amazing, free audio devices made all the difference

We'll worth a visit. They have an individual audio tour. You can listen to all or skip the ones you don't want to listen to. History is always amazing.

Just brilliant. Gets busy and for the money you probably want to go at a quieter time to really be able to take it in. The kids loved having there own audio tour.

I did not pay to enter the bath, but the cathedral, square and small shops were nice.

Pre booked tickets. Asked if we needed the toilet then watched as others who had queued behind were ushered past. Made to stand outside in torrential rain with the whole group in our time slot while the staff made a huge hash of the social distancing. They basically had let on too many people than the site can cope with.

Very lovely and interesting place..just felt expensive to us though for the time spent there.

One of the best tours we did in Britain. So incredibly well done, we really loved the audio guides as well as the free tours and abundant signs everywhere. They have really done a great job here and if you enjoy Roman history this is a must do.

Interesting and historic tour of the old Roman baths once a place of worship.

A great historic place, with the chance to taste the natural volcanic spring water. 4 stars because it was rather expensive.

Just an overall good sight seeing touristy location

The Baths are interesting, but the presentation of information is absolutely first rate.

Brilliant experience. Had a wonderful two hours here.

They have really created some interesting experiences which add to the thermal baths. I loved the ice room. Definitely worth a visit. The scents, lights etc are a nice touch in the steam rooms.

The 'current' in the indoor pool was a nice feature. Very relaxing to float around.

Some renovations are needed - the first 3 lockers I tried were broken & signage is very poor, which took away some of the time I had paid for at the start of the visit. (You need to go upstairs to change, then down to the very bottom floor to shower then up to the very top for the thermal bath - it's a bit of a slow process to get started, especially with all the broken lockers.)

Good museum and relic with wonderful design and tour, biggest attraction in Bath

Yeah I'd give this a five! I love the tour of the baths, the museum, the pools, the exhibits... all of it. It's fun to close your eyes and try to visualise how it must have been for the Romans, and even for people in the Jane Austen era where the baths were seen as a place of restoration and health. It's intriguing to see the underwater heating for the various different rooms and chambers.

only con was the lead up to the baths was a lot of reading / audio. But it's all well put together and very interesting background.

Absolutely brilliant weekend the Roman baths are very interesting! This is very romantic if you are with the right person

Very interesting place to visit. Plenty of information as you go round

Always worth a visit, the Roman Baths are an incredible place to come and see

So much to see an learn. The work that has gone to this exhibition is outstanding. It's really like stepping back in time.

Very interesting place, very helpful audio guide and never boring moment in my opinion

Amazing place to visit, absolutely beautiful part or English history. The spring still flows hot even today and it's a truly amazing sight to see!

A beautiful place that shows you a small piece of history

British history... beautiful town and well worth a visit.

Wow, this wasn't on our list of places to go but I wish it had been! We were able to spend just a few hours here but I wish I could have spent days. We are definitely coming back at some point.

Amazing historia place. Must see if you are in Bath.

Brilliant. Great for kids and adults alike. Loads of stories about Roman history and exhibits that really bring things to life. Particularly liked tasting the hot spring and seeing how the complex would have looked in Roman times. Good set of audio guides that were very clear and you could dip in and out of as you fancy. Can be crowded due to popularity, but really worth the trip.

Good souvenirs at decent prices. Somoe of them were handcrafted and it was awesome

A beautiful historic location. A must go place when you're in Bath. There is an entrance fee but the free audio guide and the comprehensiveness of the site (it's more than just one bath) makes the visit to this site worth every penny.

If you want to actually learn about the history behind the place and listen to each section of the audio guide, be prepared to spend more than 1 hour here.

There are also free guided tours at the roman Bath every hour so if you wish to listen to an actual guide rather than an audio guide, you can take note of that!

Great place lots of history. It is a little pricey but remember when you are buying your ticket you are also helping them to preserve the history. Well worth the visit if you are in Bath. Also remember to drink the water at the end.

Must visit for those who love architecture, history and culture. Average spending time to visit around 2 hours.

An absolutely fascinating preservation of Roman era hot baths. If you are at all interested in history, this museum is worth the time to see. The tour is self guided, and takes you through many facets of Roman life. It is a great way to spend a few hours, and you even get an opportunity to taste the hot spring waters! It is said to provide vitality, strength, and a myriad of other benefits to those who drink enough. 100% recommend to any history nerd.

Definitely doesn't worth the price. Small place, you just walk around and read the notes. One big pool and a couple of small rooms. Totally overpriced, otherwise, if you have an hour to spend, you can go. Also, it is a beautiful city. Recommend.

A great experience. If you have kids they'll lock up your stroller (which you're not allowed to bring in) and they provide baby carriers for smaller babies and backpack carriers toddlers which was very nice.

Visited Feb 2019
Great value for money, well preserved and fascinating audio tour - a must see for anyone coming to Bath.

A visit to Bath is incomplete without visiting the baths.

Amazing place to visit, love the new tour audio from Bill Bryson!

Visited on a number of occasions over the years. Never fails to impress. Wonderful interactive displays.lots for children

An amazing piece of history that should be on your itinerary if you are near the city of Bath.

Beautiful historic visit within this incredible city.

Beautiful, relaxing place to visit. Will be very busy so prepare for a wait, and don't go hungry the prices are quite steep!

Good museum expensive but includes a great audio guide and a free tour from a docent.

Toooo many people, waiting at distance for ages to move through areas, felt pressured to move on because of queue of people behind you, knowbody wearing masks in confined spaces. Lots of areas closed off but no discount on tickets.

COVID danger area DO NOT ENTER.....

Might have been good if I went at a time that was quieter - but spent a lot of time being stuck in very big crowds in a small space.

Great place, great history. If you are already in UK and visiting, it feels like you are in a different country, especially when the weather is good and the soon is shining.

Steeped in history and mystery...True showcase of masterful Roman architecture!

This historic and unique place is a must-go destination in Bath which is its curse as well as its virtue.
Using modern speaker phones with numbered panels gives a selective tour which caters for know-it-all-normans, cruising-craigs and posing-pams alike.
However the clear route is impeded by the sheer number of path-blocking, selfie-taking tourists which makes for a stressful and claustrophobic experience.
Try to find a quiet time - not Saturday midday like us!

A must attraction when visiting bath. The audio set was very good and was included in the price. Take your time on the way round as theres lots to see and learn. Can get very busy.

Its a must go place when you go to bath to learn about history of bath. Dont forget to use free audio guide provided.

Well worth a visit. Do buy your tickets online the day before to save 10% and avoid queuing on the day. There's far more to see than expected and the audio guide and display panels are interesting. The audio guide is available in various languages and a children's guide as also available.

worth the wait most definitely! pointless leaving a review if dont have the patience to actually get inside - dont listen to the culturally deprived, if you are seriously keen to see something of historical interest then id highly recommend a trip - if you dont have an ounce of patience then id stay put in front of the telly or go when the weather is crap! the atmosphere here is phenomenal.

Fatastic to see virtual Romans in the historic site, with detailed explanation, nice to touch the walls, bricks, plus a good trial of the spring water at the end.
