The Roman Baths Reviews

This place actually held my kids (9 & 11) attention for the full 2 hours. They really enjoyed it, and I even think they might have learnt something!!!

Truly a historical site, with a well planned tourist layout and plenty of artifacts. Takes about 2 hours, the gift shop is worth visiting.

Entry isn't cheap, but if you love history, it's worth it. The audio tour is really detailed and there are loads of beautifully preserved artefacts to look at, not to mention the baths themselves. Expect to spend a good couple of hours if you listen to most of the commentary and get a good look at everything.

Very interesting place to visit. The artefacts are carefully arranged, combined with visual technology that give the glimpse about life around the area back in 2000 years ago...

Great day out, very interesting. We were really impressed with the Covid-19 safety precaution they have put in place. Plus Bath is just stunning, worth a visit.

A wonderful place to visit a slice of history. Amazing baths!

Absolutely brilliant, time flew by taking in all the history of this place accompanied by the audio tour guide. For anyone planning on going, take your own headphones / ask for headphones. Everyone walking around as if they're on the phone...

Amazing place soo full of history lots of historical info provided

History, very enjoyable... better in the off season too.

Actually quite fun bathing in it I got told to leave yolo swagy am I right ehhh

So interesting. I learnt so much from this.
The facilities were all good and the staff were all friendly. Our kids liked the children's audio guide which led to them pointing out a few facts to me. It was great being able to picture how it would have looked back in those days.

Such a good place to visit. Lots of information to be learned about history and the roman culture

A tad overpriced for an ancient municipal facility but very interesting all the same. Don't drink the water at the end...trust me

What an amazing experance. just gos to show how clever and advanced the Romans really were

Impressive Bathhouse.. Those Romain's knew what they were doing, lots of techniques are still used today.

Pro-tip: You don't have to wait in the very long queue - just book online and choose the current or next time slot, then walk to the front to pick up your tickets.

It's a really cool experience. I was surprised by how much was preserved. Highly recommended.

Was a lot nicer than expected. The site is historically beautiful but a lot of effort gone in to make this a wonderful educational experience. Expect to stay longer than planned

Wonderful experience...though a warning not to touch the bath water would of been nice

Fascinating place for all ages from 6 - 99, as long as you enjoy history and architecture. A must-see if you are visiting Bath

At first I thought it was a little pricey but it was definitely worth it. There is a lot to see here, including a well-thought out museum with free guided tour ear pieces, and lots of the ruins to see too. It took about two to three hours to walk around. Definitely worth it.

Very amazing place. Makes you wonder about ancient times.

It was ok
Expensive
The audio was good
The water isn't cleaned?? Had rubbish floating in it.
Very busy and hard to see what the artifacts were

A lot bigger & better than expected! Definitely worth the visit! Be sure to give yourself at least an hour & a half to go through.

Great Historical place to visit. Can get a bit busy with all the school trips though.

Well worth a stop to check it out. Make sure you get a guide, they are free on the hour, they have valuable information about the site. Cost was 15.20 pounds each adult, 9.50 pounds up to age 16 and 13.50 pounds per student age 17 and over. FYI... Parking was a little hard to find, we drove around 3 parking lots and luckily a car was pulling out and we were able to get the spot. Great gelato ice cream parlor on the backside of the Romans Baths interence.

Definitely worth a visit. It's more than just the bath. The guided audio tour provided a very informative guide explaining the different rooms, the use of the baths. Not very handicapped friendly. Many uneven flooring, stairs and narrow corridors.

Very beautiful historical place. Well worth visiting!

My grandchild (7) enjoyed it for it was an interactive experience. Children are provided with their own educational listening device too. Good exhibition overall.

Took a long bus ride to get here from London. Ahhh what? Only had a couple of hours to soak in the "ambience". Not. If your going to a Roman bath, shouldn't you get your feet wet?

Very interesting, lots of information on the early Romans.

Excellent archeological site and some great restoration work done. Informative boards and free audio guide which was a nice touch. Highly recommended and very unique.

The history alone is mind blowing, the self guided audio recordings are very well done. I would highly recommend this outing if you are in the London area. The town of Bath and surrounding river and area are really beautiful.

This has been much expanded since my last visit. Very interesting, visually and with the use of their phone type lectures very informative. A must see...

Lovely 1h 1/2 spent walking around. Really enjoyed it. Definitely worth seeing

Pretty cool place to visit. The mind boggles when imagining all of the debauchery and hooliganism that was raised within the wall of this place over the course of it's history. Nowadays, it's only a museum, but with a little imagination you More

Very much enjoyed the whole tour, The plug in ear guide was very informative, but a little long winded at times especially as we had a little boy of 9 with us. But he did enjoy it very much. Would love to go again sometime, but as I live in south Wales it could be a bit of time in the future.All the tourists enjoying their visit were very well mannered and moved and mingale nicely, especially when young children could not see things. All in all s great day.

Very beautiful location and interesting ancient history. Loved it.

Worth a visit for an hour or so if interested in Roman history

Great history, I recommend the commentary by Bill Bryson.

Very picturesque nice architecture and great atmosphere. Everywhere you look is very historical lovely place to visit.

A place well worth visiting. Allow yourself at least 2 hours to do the self tour through the Roman Baths. Loads of information to soak up and so much history behind it all. Overall, it was a really great experience!

Lovely place and a must in Bath!
Plenty to take in but ideally you'd want to avoid weekend times as it's busy.

Most fascinating place to visit in bath, must for everyone! Took our time to have a really good walk round and it was worth every penny. Not to be missed!

As a historical landmark, I can't recommend The Roman Baths enough. As far as spas go, however, it fails miserably. Towel service is non-existent. Staff is downright rude, should you decide to actually try to bathe in the water, which is lukewarm, at best.

The King's bath, which I considered to be the premium option I paid for, was only accessible through a literal hole in a wall. To top it off, I got the distinct impression that the facility's staff hadn't been notified of my premium package. They seemed even less pleased at my entering of the King's bath than the main spa itself. Deplorable.



I did manage a short dip when the surly attendant turned his back, which helped revitalise after the long bus ride. However, it was a bittersweet moment of relaxation. I found myself stood in my pants in the sauna for at least 20 minutes before my attendant happened by with a dry robe. To boot, he was quite insistent that I leave the premises at this point.

In the time I spent waiting, and simply getting to the spa, however, I did happen across a number of fascinating displays. These covered interesting historical details, beautiful artifacts, and a plethora of information covering the history of the site. It was thoroughly captivating and beautifully displayed. Honestly, I feel the site is wasted as a spa and would be better suited as a historical destination and museum. Perhaps that's a change the proprietors will make in the future.

Fantastic time had thoroughly enjoyable day so informative and money well spent. Clever Roman Harnesing earths natural forces

A must see in the UK. The site is very well maintained and the walkthrough is just an extraordinary experience beyond expectations.

Well worth a visit, just for a cultural experience.

Absolutely amazing lots to see and so much history, really beautiful place and a lot to take in the staff where very quick so don't let the queues put you off well worth the short wait.

There is no wonder that the line at the entrance stretched all across the town square. This is definitely a sight worth seeing. The audio guides are very handy and easy to navigate but I was even more impressed how the exposition seamlessly meshes with the excavated remains. They have 3D projections that show visitors what the traffic at the place would look like back in the 1st and 2nd century AD. It was all very realistic and informative. Photography was at times difficult because many of the rooms are dark, enclosed spaces but a skilled photographer would surely be able to get around that. Highly recommend.

Historic. Excellent place. Science and engineering at its best

A beautiful historical place, with very interesting architecture

Very interesting for children and adults. Highly recommend the audio tour.

Loved it. Very picturesque. Drove here from London. The drive is pretty easy. We had trouble finding parking. Park and ride is the best option.

Lovely tourist place. Its worth a visit if you love historic places

2000 year old Roman architecture. It takes 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs to cover the whole place. I feel tickets are expensive for this place.

An excellent place to visit, we spent hours here leaning about this incredible place. Worth every penny however, whilst queuing a member of staff did more us around like cattle!
