A fantastic floating museum though, technically speaking, it is in dry Dock- few holes in the Hull , you know. Brilliant restoration that gave you a feeling of what it must have been like to travel to Australia in the 1800s. Certainly the size of the berths gave you a feeling for how much smaller people were then. The whole centre is worth a visit as the story of the SS Great Britain and how it came to return to Bristol is pretty incredible. You'll spend a good couple of hours there. And there's a little shop. Of course.
Really enjoyed my visit. The ship is amazing and there is plenty to see and do around on the dock. The whole dock itself has been made into a museum with a horse-drawn carriage, travellers' trunks, anchors etc. On the ship, visitors can look in the bowels of the ship to see the propeller and up on deck, where there are seats to enjoy the view. The ship is supposed to be disabled friendly, with ramps and lifts. However the lift wasn't working on the day we visited. There is a interesting shop and a museum. A cafe can be found near to the entrance with lovely fresh sandwiches, hot snacks and pastries. I would love to say it was an excellent facility, but we were totally ignored at the counter for quite some time before being served. There are plenty of toilets throughout. They are very clean and the best thing is that one can read poetry whilst sat on the throne!!! If I could recommend something, it would be clearer signposting. All in all however, it was a great attraction, with plenty to see and do. I would certainly return.
My hubby and daughter went round here, I stayed outside with the dogs as they weren’t allowed in. They both really enjoyed this, there’s lots of info about Brunel, his life and his works, giving you an idea of what life might have been like at that time. My daughter enjoyed the dry dock and looking at the underside of the ship as well as the inside with all the info. The dry dock was very hot as it is pumped with hot air to preserve it and keep the moisture out, you might need a drink with you for this part. They spent around 2 hours going around. There is a nice gift shop when you go in. Good for disabled access or prams as there were lifts to take you up and down the floors. Nice friendly staff on hand to answer any questions you may have. Definitely worth a visit.
Day trip with daughter to look around ship. Very interactive and staff on board being informative. Definitely a good few hours walking round. Daughter loved it. Tickets last a year so Definitely get your moneys worth.Visited onWeekendWait time10–30 minReservation recommendedYes
Fabulous place to visit. Exceeded expectations. Lots to see and explore, plus the opportunity to go underneath the ship. Children loved the opportunity to dress up in the period clothes and enjoyed following the trail and finding the chest clues. Staff were friendly and helpful and the addition of period clothing was a lovely touch. Plenty of interactive areas and clever information displays we particularly like the chest of drawers near the dress up are where you could see inside the drawer of individuals who had travelled on the ship. The sounds, smells and models made it feel like we had stepped back in time.
This is a fantastic experience with the ship restored to display the different levels of passenger comforts from First Class at the Stern down to Steerage at the bow. There is a vast amount of information depicting life on board the worlds first passenger liner. There is even a lift to the levels below deck for visitors with mobility issues.
This place has a lot of history. The ship is well maintained and its impressive how much they do to even maintain this ship. Specially to stop it from getting rusty. For a £10 additional cost you may climb up to the pole of the ship. The inside of the ship is well maintained and displayed. You can even smell the things inside the rooms which was really unexpected. Figures have been placed all over to explain what they do in each room . These figures are also well made. It's a must visit place if you are in Bristol. The ticket costs £19 and is valid upto an year
A great time for all ages, although starting to show its age when I was there with a few of the interactive bits not working. Ships wheel and propeller lift. Quite expensive at £19 per adult but you can easily spend 3 hours mooching around all the displays and the ship is amazing. Good Cafe, toilets and things to keep kids happyVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This really is an astounding museum. The ship is fantastic and the other exhibit and collections are also fantastic... But perhaps the most amazing thing, is the recreation of the lower decks with all the sights and sounds and the SMELLS. It really does feel authentic and you can easily imagine you are actually there on a voyage in the middle of the ocean. The staff 'crew' all very knowledgeable and clearly love their roles and the ship. Really, this is one of the best living museum experiences you can have. I can't recommend it highly enough.
An absolutely beautiful ship! A huge part of our national history. Lovingly and respectfully restored to her former glory to educate many. An absolutely must see. There's plenty of knowledgeable staff around who are more than happy to tell you more about her history and show you around.
