The Roman Baths Reviews

Place not to be missed, underground awaits you a huge surprise as the museum is much bigger and much more interesting than what it appears to be, it's like going back in time to Roman empire, some elements better preserved than in Rome itself!

Spectacular place to visit. I was not expecting that much to see while there. The stories are fantastic and the live guide had such an energy and passion about the place (she is an senior local and used to visit there with her father when she was a little girl, so she truly loves the place). Definitely a must visit place!!!

An absolute must for visits to Bath! Very organised during the post lockdown visits. It was actually quite nice having to wait for other people to move forwards as you got to take in the sights and all the information! The handsets were really informative as well... lots of history and there were children's options as well

Walk around the town is good. While the roman baths in itself is an average site

Interesting history were you can drink the water from the baths beware it tastes like blood although it is clean otherwise amazing place

You can't get out of the shop without purchasing a little box of handcrafted hand cream best thing I've ever tried! My favourite smell is orange & honey, but they also have some amazing ones with roses hip, lavender and other flowers! Enjoy shopping :)

It was a great expirience and learnt a lot about roman history and specifically about the Roman baths. The entry fee is a bit overpriced though.

Fascinating insight into an ancient world, great for kids 8+ too!

A very impressive day out, with effective use of audioguides provided in multiple languages with a good level of depth and detail. It's advisable to pre-book as at times the queue for tickets can be in excess of an hour long.

Great place to visit. Interesting exhibition with a great audio guide !

Very interesting to see how man evolved from antiquity to today. Not great if you can't stand the smell of urine!! :)) Keep in mind people were not washing back then and had no toilets!

A slice of Italian history (in UK), the spring water and the walk through the antique stairs is pleasing. And finally the baths, a pretty soothing visit!

Much larger than first impressions! Very interesting display of artefacts.

An interesting tour with a good audio guide and very friendly staff. I found it difficult though to really see how the complex would have looked originally. It's been changed so much a few times over that it's difficult to see. I think this tour would be incredibly enhanced by some 3D or VR animation.

Although one of the UK's smaller cities, Bath more than makes up for its diminutive size with a multitude of things to see and do. Named after its famous Roman Baths, this beautiful city has been luring visitors to its healing waters for more than 2,000 years. Gushing from three hot springs, the water-known to consist of 43 different minerals, hence its curative properties-travels upwards some 3,048 meters at a rate of 275,000 gallons per day, before spilling out at a consistent 46.5 degrees Celsius.

While it's not possible to bathe in the original Roman Baths, a number of nearby spas-most notably the superb Thermae Bath Spa-offer guests the chance to enjoy the city's famous waters.

Tourist trap, I've seen better; although a definite historical value.

The star attraction of the city. Booking in advanced is recommended to avoid a wait. The tour contains display elements and is quite lengthy, it's a conveyor belt of walking with limited chances to sit.

State of water is far from appealing, but overall it is worth a visit to see an ancient site with Roman roots.

I especially enjoy visiting when there are live actors, bringing the history alive, to interact with.

A visit to Bath would not be complete without visiting this World heritage site. Avoid the crowds in the summer by going in the evening.

Really enjoyed it here, loads of interesting information.

A great tourist spot to learn about some of the great history of the UK. In-depth background into everything using an audio device which they provide.

Plenty of photo opportunities here too.

The guided tour around the baths was very detailed and easy to use.
A stronger presence should be made for people not to drink the water except in the tester area.
I look forward to returning when the new areas are opened up to the public.

Not as big as I thought it would be but still very interesting

I went here when I was a kid and it hasn't changed much, a great place to go to but very busy all year round so go early.

You can even drink the thermal spa water!!
I'm guessing its filtered...

Definitely a must visit if you're visiting Bath. I really felt like I was back in time when i was in.

Can get a little bit crowded at peak hours, and queue may be a bit long, but the whole experience is worth it. You get an audio guide with the price of the ticket and there is loads to see. There are a few interactive actors in costume to add to the scene.

Took my family there very informative and interesting, nice to actually learn while you have a pleasant experience. Book ahead though can be very busy.

Very expensive. OK hour going through. Wouldn't recommend.

was a decent exhibition but its all history no geological stuff on the water etc.

Was very crowded when we went. Overall a good experience.

Great place to visit. It s well-restored. The museum is interesting and with ticket you automatically get an audio guide. For University of Bath students tickets are for free, you just need to show student ID. Good choice for a Sunday afternoon.

Fascinating place to visit. This was our second visit to Roman baths. (We've seen it properly, with all spaces open few years ago, without social distancing) So much history. Very good audio guide, lots of information and extra comments.

Another view into our history. So much work in preserving our past. When visiting Bath not to be missed

With ticket price you get free audio tour. The exhibits were great. It was smaller than I thought it would be but overall great experience. Staff was very helpful.

*the* place to see in the Bath, to learn the history and how it first earned its name. The audioguide is expansive and the interior museum exhibits are laid out to have you take a long slow stroll through the pieces.

But come on, why is it pricier than the Louvre??

Excellently Preserved Roman Baths Complex and very informative museum

I had visited years ago and I was impressed with the changes they did with the visitors path this time

Brilliant place to visit. Huge! So make sure you give it as much time as possible.

Really enjoyed this, took longer than expected , interesting exhibitions . So pretty

Very interesting and very detailed. Can be busy at times but it moves. Entry is fairly priced too.

Probably the best regional museum/relic that is so well preserved, so informatively presented and taking guest to a prehistorical tour. I have been there for 3 times at least and never regret

Love how the educational devices come free with the entry fee. Helps paint a picture to this visually stunning setting

Really cool, was very interesting exhibits. Took so. E great photos, and stepped back in time to when the Baths were used

Fantastic historical site, well preserved and there is kids audio guide to keep them happy. Something to enjoy for the young and old.
A great day trip from London.

Really nice experience, if you have a discovery card, BATHNES employee card, or student ID you can go for free/reduced! It s a must see in Bath and has lots of different languages! The audio tour is worth it!

Very historical and beautiful place. The heritage is well maintained and kept.

I'm glad we decided to have a look round. Its alot bigger than you think.

Very interesting. A lot has been preserved, the museum tells the whole story about the Roman bath houses. Worth the visit.

Interesting display and explanation of 48 B.C. history.

Not enough time to see everything. Amazing what the Romans did 200 AD. A must see when in Bath.!!!

You can spend 2.5 hours here with audio guide. A lot of interesting histories!

Very interesting experience - the water was hotter than I expected !

Visiting the Roman baths in the city of Bath is a very good experience. They are very well conserved, every one has an audioguide and there are free tours every hour inside the place, with very friendly and amusing tour guides. If you visit Bath, you need to go there.

The best part we enjoyed was the 2 hours free walking tour. The tour started in front of the Roman Bath and was super informative. The tour explained the Bath Abbey, the Bath house, and the social aspects.

If you're interested in history, this is a cool place to see.

historic, informational, very good experience. not wheelchair accessible

What an incredible opportunity to travel through time to another point in history this experience was. The professionals who put together this experience and run it on a day to day basis have built something that is completely engaging and mesmerizing. We took a day out from our week long trip to London to visit the Roman Baths, and it was a perfect investment of time. It took us (middle aged dad and teenage son) about 2.5 hours to move through because we were completely engaged (especially the son) and you could not help but linger at exhibit after exhibit. The journey through (and here you are literally walking through a portal in time), coupled with the superb audio narrations and exhibits created this very unique experience in an era of digital and virtual reality. I found it all to be uniquely engaging and even a week later it is still rattling around in my son's brain and part of our dinnertime discussions.

Really cool area, could use clearer signage and directions. But the hypocausts look amazing

Well worth the visit, very interesting and even get to taste the waters at the end

Great, worth doing the guided tour first to decide what you want to spend more time seeing.

My first visit to the Baths. I definitely enjoyed myself and learnt a lot. I certainly didn't leave enough time for the visit you need a lot more time than you expect. Unfortunately it is very popular and there were just so many tourists to deal with.
