The Roman Baths Reviews

The Roman "Bawhths" [ ***indigenous 'posh' pronounciation guide for the casual American. ;) ] :

It is a detail attenuated, solo audio-assisted tour that is taken at your own pace. There is a lot to see, so be prepared to snap plenty of pics of individual exhibits with the wall plaque printed text info to review at your leisure.

At the end of the tour, you are encouraged to sample a free sip of the 'warm elixir'. So far it hasn't cured cancer, or halted global climate change, but it literally is an palpable interaction that becomes a part of you.

Even if you don't like history you'll be amazed about how much you'll learn here

Lovely place to visit need to stay at least a weekend to enjoy all the sights in Bath.

Pricey for what it is. We were not told about thr renovations when we bought a ticket either.

It's nice but too academic of an experience with little interactive activities for visitors.

Very interesting and educational whilst well managed using covid guidelines. A must do of in the area

Was there in the month of April. Nice historical place but was packed with people on a Saturday.

Roman place in the middle of English country side. Amazing.

A real insight into Bath and it's history , no trip to Bath should be without it . The staff were friendly and helpful.

There is a fairly significant wait to get inside and the price is quite high, however, it was entirely worth it. There is an audio tour throughout and the museum is quite a bit larger than one would expect from outside. You could easily spend 3 hours there.

My favorite museum type of your I've taken. Audio guide is second to none with tons of different options. Takes 2-3 hours no problem.

Really well done. Excellent layout and fascinating experience.

I tried to take a midnight swim, I was so kind that I invited the guards... they had other plans.

Pricey but worth it. Full of history and facts. A wonderful glimpse into Roman Britain.

I came here with my wife as we had 1/2 a day to spend in Bath, England. The Roman Baths are amazing and the history of the site not only dates back to ~70 AD but the reconstruction in the 1800 s is also amazing history of the region. The site had numerous baths in the Roman era and even sacrifices were performed on the site. This place would have been a modern spa even by today s standards. The amount of artifacts is amazing, could not recommend higher.

Maine attraction in bath for me, audio guide is awesome..

Very interesting showing history and all original building with the 2000year old roman spa bath areas used in the day when the romans built englands first bathouse in Bath England

Really enjoyed this place and all the wonderful history.

Really interactive museum, fantastic for children. Obviously super busy. Reasonably priced IMHO.

It was surprising to know that it was Roman's who taught British to take bath.

A visit to the Roman Baths is a must if you are visiting this town. You do have to book in advance due to Covid-19. It does take some time to walk round the baths due to the one way system. However, this was organised well and many staff were present to ensure everyone was safe.

We all enjoyed the free audio tour that was easy to use and did not require headphones. I must admit without the audio it might be less interesting to younger children. My 9 year old and 12 year old asked many questions during the visit. Unfortunately I did not visit the shop due to the queue. Maybe that could be visited next time I visit Bath.

Masks were optional at the time of our visit. We chose to wear them.

I love this place. History coupled with natural science. It s very much worth the visit and take your time absorbing the stories within.

Overhyped in my opinion and far too expensive for what is charged for it. The actual hot springs section is hardly a tiny part of the visit.Dissapointed.

I absolutely adored shooting a wedding here, it was a sunrise ceremony so made for a very unique atmosphere. I believe they also offer sunset ceremony's too which could look amazing but it really would be special at any time of day. Hope to return!

Amazing bath house, spend some times there. We thought it's small but we took approx. 1.5 hours to complete the whole tour.

Very impressive place, especially during the night. Perfect for events as the settings are amazing but the place has amazing history, definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful place,croudy but it's worth to visit anyway

Lovely place of history
Staff were great and friendly
Audio devices were great especially for the kids.
Good distancing measures in place, not crowded at all. Our slot was booked for 930am
Would recommend

Breath taking. Really wasn't expecting to find all the hidden spas within

Been to Bath for years but never here. Really enjoyed it as an attraction. The museum was great, it was an entertaining way to spend a morning.

This was much more than I expected. A great deal of historical information.

I love the spa and thought my way back in the time of the romans u should vist it

Great museum explaining impressive engineering work from hydrology to lifting mechanics; from the original temple around the hot springs to building the Baths by the Romans.

Amazing museum. It was very crowded when we went- almost couldn't walk through the rooms. We opted not to get the audio tour because we were pressed for time. Amazing how old this structure is.

I love Bath. The Romans baths can get very busy at times and queues get quite long but it is worth the wait.

Such an amazing place to visit. Bath in general is quite nice city to relax and visit.

Very historical place, excellently maintained in the centre of a beautiful city with a different architecture compared to the rest of the UK.

An interesting visit if you're a fan of history and/or museums. Free audio guide tour available. The tour starts with the beautiful outer pool viewed from above, followed by inner rooms of the spa containing relics and old status/excavated objects. The life of the Romans is explained nicely using subtle projections on the walls of the spa rooms. The tour ends on the bottom level of the outer pool, accompanied by a taste of the bath water for those who want it.

I spent 3+ hours in there without realising it... Great and interesting place to visit. Great history and a great experience overall. Very well set. The guided tour on the hour every hour is very good and free. The information on the pod is brilliant. Great little activities for the kids. For 3+ hours I forgot where I was. There are so many videos and whologramms

Loved this , from all aspects, history, architecture, audio commentary, 'living entertainment'. Will return again

Magical place, full of history, we enjoyed the visit, I am happy to recommend to everyone.

Very surreal experience knowing you were steps away from where the Romans were bathing. By the way, feel free to try the bath water, but it doesn't taste too good!

Great experience , but reception staff arent friendly

Great place to go if you happen to be in Bath, local residents and Bath university students go free!

Well set out, detailed information and beautifully restored.

Wonderful historical presentation and educational experience. A must see!

Amazing museum around the old Roman baths. It might be bigger than you might think, covering the area around the baths, plus the spring, and a large museum area of the surrounding ruins and Roman Britain in general.

I easily spent 2.5 hours here and didn't cover everything. There is a good audioguide included in the ticket cost. It can be very busy, so I would advise arriving as early as possible. It's something you can't miss if you're in Bath.

A really great afternoon. It's well worth doing at least once. A lovely shop at the end of the tour too!!

Expensive and not fully accessible due to covid restriction

Fantastic. Really interesting exhibition. A real surprise that it was so big and in-depth!

Absolutely beautiful, amazing city and fascinating architecture

What a wonderful and beautiful historic place.they are discovering more ruins all the time and restoring them.

Worth every penny, the museum was good and deliver a lot of information

What can I say. Love this place. Pump Room food is excellent. It is a little expensive but it goes with the territory m.

Amazing museum, great experience, a must do in the area.

Awesome historical place... interesting... informative... plenty to see... and the booking system makes it a pleasant and uncrowded visit...recommended

i will assume that is the #1 thing to see in Bath. yeh its ok, good architecture, some nice statues here and there, certainly not as grand as in Rome or Florence.

Standard gift shop tat and a pond that's built up with a load of more recent stone work.

The roman bath is a rather love it or hate it kinda trip. If you're an enthusiast for the roman civilization then perhaps you would enjoy the artistic salvation of roman influence on the ancient britannica. Otherwise you'd find yourself in a rather unhygienic bath area of the dead, left on display for all

Lots to see and it's attractively presented around the original Roman bath and hot spring. Although it's been rebuilt over the centuries there's a lot of the Roman site still to see.
In these days of Covid they have taken good precautions to keep people safe. It's expensive, but worth it, we spent more than two hours there.

Had to edit the review for covid-19 real shame as this site is very poorly organised with no social distancing as large groups causing choke points and long queues with no staff guiding or controlling flow. Would advise to stay clear for now as really spoilt the visit and having been a number of times not the same experience.

Fantastic learning experience. Took the family and it was fascinating for all. We were all given free audio guides with our ticket which were very user friendly and really made our experience. Definitely worth a visit. Surrounding area is also beautiful.
