SS Great Britain is a good place to visit for every one. There is a tremendous effort for the people behind it to preserve the history. The ship as been restored to make sure that we can feel how it used to be back in those days. Kids will find it very interesting to understand the history. It is arranged in such a way that not only the ship but the surrounding are also matching the history. The path to the ship describes a full history of the ship including old tickets, details of Captains etc. The trip will take a solid 2-3 hours to complete.

One of the better boats we have been on and we have been on quite a few. I liked how you could go in each room and experienced the life people would have lived on the boat and also the smells when walking around. There is a lot to see and do on the boat and the other museums. Would recommend it

I came here with my children during school summer holidays. My first time ever visiting this ship & it makes you proud to be a Bristolian. Having seen how the ship looked when it came back from the Falklands in 1970, it is unbelievable how they have restored it to such a high level. I'm glad my entry cost contributed to the SS Great Britain Trust because I hope she can last another 100+ years. I would highly recommend and I will be returning with my ticket that allows one year of unlimited returns.

What an incredible experience. Amazing history depicted via interactive models and fascinating stories. Each member of staff is delightful, friendly and knowledgeable. The interior of the ship is fascinating. You will be here for hours and enjoy every minute if it.

Great value for money. Friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable staff throughout the whole visit. Plenty to see, not just on the ship itself. A real educational, interactive and fun experience for kids and adults alike. And what's more, there's 1 year free unlimited free returns included in your ticket, so you can keep coming back incase you missed anything.

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 happy

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.

Where to start? If, like me, you are a fan of Brunel and his work, then SS Great Britain is something you simply MUST go visit! You literally get to go over this iconic ship from bottom to top, inside and out! One thing I will say is don't wear anything too warm for your visit. To conserve the ship, inside and out warm, dehumidified air is circulated constantly throughout the ship and under the glass "sea" covering the dry dock. The atmosphere under and inside the ship is, of necessity, literally as dry as a desert! It is not unbearable by any means, but you truly won't need a coat!

Way better than I was expecting!!! My wife suggested we visit with the children and I admit having low expectations based on similar things elsewhere. My goodness was I wrong?! This is top tier family activity. The ship is not just extraordinary with a special place in local and national history but it’s SO accessible to visitors. It feels like they really trust and respect their guests and as a result it’s so much more immersive and educational. There are two museums which have all manner of interactive elements - costumes to wear, levers to pull, models to touch. Everything is clean and clear. Value wise it’s extremely impressive and I’d love all the super friendly staff to know just how thrilled we were after we visited. SS Great Britain was really GREAT! May other British attractions use this as the bar to hit.

Great museum. Not only do you get to explore inside the SS Great Britain but there are also various exhibits in buildings by the dock side. Could spend many hours here. There are some especially interesting aspects of a visit such as being able to wander around by the keel under the ship.

Amazing job of restoration to bring this vessel back to her birthplace in Bristol docks. Superb storytelling around the site to paint a picture of this ship in her heyday. Well worth spending a few hours here to soak up the atmosphere and garner all the facts.

Amazing part of Bristol history. The incredible life and story of a ship, stranded and left to rot, before conservation enthusiasts brought her back home. It wasn't an easy task either. Don't just read this. If you have an opportunity to visit, then do! The entry ticket gives you an annual membership, so you can visit as often as you like in that year.

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.

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.

One of the best attractions I have been to. If you are in Bristol you simply have to go. It brings the history of the ship to life and the talks are well worth attending. The entrance fee includes 12 months entry so a no brainer if you live locally. Good cafe too.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Would really recommend going here!! On the ship they have the whole set up and the sound effects (and smell effects 👃) were really good. In fact the whole set up was great! Won't lie I did get lost a couple times but the kids loved finding the people on the map. The man that welcomed us was a brilliant character and got us right in the mood. The staff in the gift shop were friendly as well. For the price of what we paid definitely worth it.

Superb experience. So glad I went in. Caught the little ferry across the river, being dropped right outside. Fair price for what there is to see and do. So much information lots to see and do. The SS Great Britain has been on a great adventure and is well worth a visit. Top place to visit in Bristol.

This was an amazing experience. I am not really a boat or engineering person but i had so much fun. The above and below the water perspectives plus the immersive nature of this place makes is a fun twist on a museum. All the staff are passionate about the history and incredibly knowledgable. There's a computer that allows you to search for your family lineage on the passenger logs. The Brunel museum was fascinating to deep dive into the engineer/mastermind behind the boat. The ticket, the guides, the gift shop, the cafe, loved it all. Went on a Sunday afternoon and pretty much had the place to myself. Attended the 2pm talk on the surgeon too. My highlight was definitely underneath the ship on the dry dock.

Wonderful attraction, you wont regret visiting here. Great British ship, was the greatest of the world at least for a decade. You can observe the dry dock, museum, decks and inside the ship. You can reach the real ship experience specially inside. I think this is the best attraction in the Bristol city.

Very nice tourist attraction; definitely a highlight of Bristol. Tickets include access to: the ship, dry dock, and even a museum. Be prepared to spend a good few hours here as there's plenty to see! They've clearly put a big effort to make walking through the ship as immersive and interesting as possible(and it's brilliant!); there's fairly realistic audio, smells, props and mannequins to help bring the ship to life. Also, they have a team of enthusiastic staff to give tours e.c.t Many lifts & ramps throughout make the majority of the ship accessible to pushchairs/wheelchairs. Overall it's definitely worth visiting!

This was the highlight of our weekend break in Bristol. Well worth the visit. It is a must. Excellent museum and knowledgeable and friendly guides.

This ship was awesomely arranged inside. So much to see/ do and experience in and on the ship. Worth the entrance fee for the museums and the ship. You won't regret it

Well worth the visit. For the price, and the return for a year it great value. So much to see and do! All of the exhibits are in very good condition and most importantly working 😁 There are two musium as well as SS Great Britain, we only managed to visit one, it was great. The ship is vast with lots to see, do and smell. You will get lost but that us all part of the fun. The staff are fantastic, so helpfull, knowledgeable and really friendly. If you are in Bristol, you must visit.

A wonderful tourist attraction. I recommend taking the ferry to cross habour to it. The ticket includes a view from the dry dock below the boat and a visit to a museum dedicated to it's constructing - as well as an exhibit for Brunel. Just before getting on the boat, I recommend grabbing a crew or passenger card from the Dry Dock museum and trying to find the luggage that matches it on the boat! It's a great way to explore this historic marvel.

Had a fantastic time here. The staff were all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the visit feel extra special. Buying a ticket gives you access for a year, and I'd love to come back.

The best attraction in Bristol. Very interesting to see the boat that crossed Atlantic such a long time ago. Everything seems to be perserved good and you get the realistic picture of how the passangers lived during the trip. Organized tour with nice stories might have helped to get even better impression. Staff is polite. Definitely worth of visiting.

Amazing views! A must visit if ever in Bristol, you can spend hours taking in the beautiful scenery. Many details around you. With the observatory close by, and a tunnel leading to suspended balcony in the middle of the cliff. The bridge itself is more than a 100 years old. With daily walking tours. You can put your camera down, many details you can find around you while crossing and beautiful scenery. It takes around 5 minutes going from one side to the other. Unfortunately the Avon gorge below was nearly dry when we visited August 2022 because of the heatwave, but still the views were beautiful. The Clifton area close by with the Mall gardens and many authentic restaurants. A nice place to send part of your day and end with having a meal in on of those restaurants. Note: the bridge has a £1 pound toll if crossing in a car.

Even I don’t know much about bridge construction, I also can tell from the height and width of the bridge that this was a highly complex project in the 19th century. A lot of difficulties were encountered from design to completion which I learned from the visitor centre. Just walk 5 minutes across the bridge to enjoy the beautiful view of the river. A must see place if visiting Bristol as the view is just magnificent.

Absolutely stunning! The suspension bridge's design is a masterpiece. The breathtaking view from atop leaves you in awe. It's the perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature. A must-visit for nature enthusiasts!

Fabulous views, interesting historical facts and stories. Free visitors centre. £1.00 toll to cross the bridge. All upkeep of the bridge is paid for from the tolls. The gorge is also home to many specific plants. The Bristol White beam being found no where else on earth.

Beautiful view from the top of the hill. I also walked down the hill and walked across the bridge to the other side. If you drive through the bridge, it will cost you £1 each way. I would advise you to be there early due to limited parking spaces especially on Saturday and Sunday（ street parking) at the bottom of the hill.

Stunning suspension Bridge! The view is breathtaking either you look the bring from down or up. Cross the bridge walking is such and incredible experience. With car there is a toll to pay that's 1£, but totally worth it. Waiting the sunset there will give you the chance to take some very amazing pics.

Absolutely beautiful suspension bridge. We definitely recommend you have a look if you’re in Bristol. The bridge is easy accessible, we went via a bus which took about 20 minutes from the city centre. You can also drive (I did see some parking), and the bridge is next to a lovely park so you can walk around if you’re in the area. Of course this area gets busy when it’s tourist season but it’s such an amazing view, I would definitely recommend you stopping by. Best time to go would be just before sunset, because then you can see the bridge during the day and then watch as it turns its lights on at night. There’s also a good selection of bars and pubs within a 10 minute walk, so you can make an evening of it.

Quite an impressive bridge, with plenty of viewing platforms for tourists, as well as significant amounts of greenery. Parking is in short supply, but you can find stops leading up to the bridge for 15-30 minutes to be quite sufficient. Note that you can get two different views for both sides of the bridge. Moreover, make sure to climb up the hill for better views, as well as cafe access. Overall, an excellent visit

The visitor’s center is free and provides interesting facts about the building of the bridge. I’m now keen to book an online tour of the bridge’s vaults although these are only available from April to October. Visit on a sunny day if you can and walk across into the vibrant heart of Clifton.

Free to cross as a pedestrian, £1 for cars. Amazing and expansive view, and fun to look down at all the tiny cars and people. Very narrow pathways so it would be a struggle for a wheelchair or a big buggy, but perhaps not impossible. You can definitely access the first part of the bridge pretty easily, which has the best views anyway!

Fascinating, looks like a diamond necklace, good for sight seeing, beautiful view of Bristol City at night. Over the hill you get to see the padlocks where lovers make a pact for their love. A sad thing about the bridge is many people have committed suicide on this bridge because of divorce, loss of their home because of mortgages. Highly recommended.

I mean... Really scary to look downward 😅 But the toll (for vehicles to cross the bridge) is keeping it well maintained I guess ? Not sure. Historic and iconic place to visit in Bristol. There's nothing to review as such sorry 🥲

It's a good bridge, a bit overated in my opinion. But definitely okay to be in a big city! To say that it is one of the best bridges is really exaggeration, It bridged for like 160 years in Bristol. You need way more to compare it to Pero's, Prince Street or Castle bridge

The bridge is spectacular but very high. If your not keen on heights then be sure if you want to walk over it. There are railings and wires as I think in the past it was a jumpers bridge. There's a footpath either side of the bridge. A one way system which ignorant people tend not to see. And you can drive over it. Though think there's a charge. The views are amazing. It is windy too.

Clifton Suspension Bridge is the most popular place in Bristol and the seventh most popular place for photos in the whole of the United Kingdom. The most popular photo spot is the base of the western tower on the Clifton side of the bridge. Make sure you get your photograph in front of the best view, whether that’s at sunrise or sunset. You can also visit the Giant Cave where you can get a spectacular view.

Nice scenic view. U need to pay a toll to cross over the bridge. If u wish to save some money finding parking before the bridge as it is quite convenient.

Great historical bridge to visit. Not much parking near the bridge, so there might be a bit of a walk to get to it. If you have a blue disability badge, drive over from the Bristol side, and you can park in the lay-by on the right hand side (you might have to drive up the road a short distance to turn around). There are great photo opportunities on the bridge. If you suffer from vertigo, stay away from the edges as the drop is quite high. There are unicorn statues with messages of hope on them and the number for the samaratins on the bridge. There are walkways on either side of the road crossing the bridge. There is a barrier with a toll to cross on either side. Walking is free.

The iconic landmark of Bristol. Still standing strong after 150+ years. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the most famous Engineers of the Victorian era. Make sure to go to the Clifton Observatory to get great views of the bridge. Better yet, try to visit around the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, which usually happens in August, to get views of colorful hot air balloons flying above the bridge. You can also go for Boating on river Avon under the bridge or if you feel adventurous, visit the Giant's Cave to get even better views. Highly recommended and must visit if you are in Bristol.

Stunning bridge. Accessible, I drove my scooter across on both sides. Gorgeous views. We were lucky enough to see some rock climbers ,so watched them for a while too.

Lovely old bridge that's not only a great piece of engineering, but looks beautiful spanning over the River Avon and suspended between the gorge at Clifton. This iconic structure must be among one of the beautiful landmarks of the South West of England and well worthy of a visit

So impressive! Great to walk across, audio guide via QR (tho could’ve been longer), amazing views over the city and Clifton is a really nice area to explore after

Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the oldest suspension Bridge of it's time. Built around 1860 AD. It's an engineering Marvel and good picturesque view from the Bridge. Bristol City looks quite beautiful from the Bridge. Must visit for Nature enthusiast. One can go Trekking as well on the hill near the bridge.

You can enjoy nice view over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and one coffee shop on top of the hill. It is possible to visit a cave from where you should enjoy even better view (I have not done it, so I leave that part to others to evaluate). It was very cold at the time when I was there and it might have impacted the overall impression.

It was a nice place to visit and spending most of the time. Clifton Suspension Bridge is amazing! It's this cool bridge over the River with a mix of old and new vibes. You can walk across it and see awesome views of the city. The river below and the busy life on the bridge make it exciting. What's neat is that Bridge has been rebuilt a bunch of times, showing how strong and resilient it is. It's not just for walking – cars use it too! Day or night, the views are fantastic. It's like a symbol of Bristol's history and how it keeps moving forward. If you're in London, you gotta see this Bridge!

Clifton Suspension Bridge is an absolute marvel that effortlessly blends engineering prowess with breathtaking natural beauty. Walking across this iconic structure is like stepping into a piece of history while being embraced by stunning panoramic views of Bristol. The sense of awe as you gaze upon the Avon Gorge below is simply unparalleled. A must-visit for anyone seeking both architectural wonder and awe-inspiring scenery. Don't miss the chance to experience this masterpiece firsthand! 🌉🏞️

Gorgeous views even on a gloomy day! Great viewing points around the bridge that are quiet and perfect for pictures. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful and very scenic bridge! The information centre for the bridge was brilliant. Clifton village was also beautiful and worth a visit. There are a number of boutiques and restaurants to enjoy in the village.

Absolutely stunning piece of architecture. It's quite tall and broad. If you walk through it is only when you realise how tall it is. The river below looks very beautiful. Try seeing the bridge from the small hill in the left hand side

Amazing views up and down river from the bridge. The £1 to cross by car is worth it. The staff in the visitor centre are also extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Nice view from the bridge, I walked down across the bridge it was really experience with some old and new vibes.. It was dat time may be next time I will try to see in night.

One of the oldest and famous hanging bridge. It's known as the jewel of Bristol. A fabulous view. Train and river flowing below. What a beautiful scenery. Worth visiting.

A lovely, medium sized zoo. Animals in good condition and seem contented. Lots of information dotted around for learning opportunities. Super helpful staff - all so cheerful and considerate! Food outlets are on the expensive side but you could just as easily take a picnic as there are outdoor and indoor seating areas. Seeing the eggs in the reptile house was a winner with my son after he had watched some YouTube videos about hatcheries. Daughter was completely engaged with the underwater sea lion viewing that had loads of space. Good disabled access throughout. Very wheelchair friendly. Staff were extremely understanding of my son's additional needs and catered for him really well. Good day out for old and young. We spent a total of 4 hours there. Arrive early because 11am onwards may be difficult for parking at peak times.

Had a brilliant time, much bigger than we expected, really well laid out design. Animals were brilliant to see, all looked in great condition with immaculate enclosures. Loads of info about each species too. Cafe was nice, but a little pricey. Apart from that, highly recommended x

We love Bristol Zoo, our son had a great day. We went early on a week day so it was nice and quiet. The staff & keepers are really friendly and told us fun facts about the animals when we saw them. I'm sad it's closing later this year so would recommend a visit before this happens.

Great selection of animals..very enjoyable experience. All the animals look happy and relaxed so I'm certain they're treated well. Great time to see the animals in their daily routine. I understand people's reservations on animals on captivity but a lot of the animals here are in danger of extinction so I'm glad to see their breeding program to help restore the population. Overall a wonderful experience

A very Small but quirky zoo, if you're a zoo lover it's worth a visit. Really enjoyed the Tree Kangeroos and Bats. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the gift shop prices were reasonable for a zoo. You can see it's age in places but I feel it really adds to its charm.

Can't wait for the Zoo to move to a larger location (at Wildplace Project). It's an amazing zoo, theres lots to see and the animals seem happy & well looked after. It can be expensive for larger families, but the annual membership is a good investment if you are planning to go 5 or more times in a year.

The zoo itself was awesome, the exhibits were diverse and especially the aquarium and reptile house were really well scaped! Saw a lot of animals I haven't seen before and caught some great animal behaviours. Sad to see it closing but looking forward to my first visit to Wild Place later this year! Deducted one star for it taking 30 minutes to park, but that won't be a problem when they move out of the city 💜

Many animals absent or not in viewing areas when visiting, which I guess can’t be helped to a certain degree. No comms regarding enclosure timings / closures info regarding feeding times / talks on a sandwich board at entry only. Took over an hour to find a parking space after finding out when getting to the zoo the car park was full and the entrance barred. The limited on street parking around the zoo all has a 3 hr max stay which isn’t helpful. On trying to ring the zoo to find out if we are still allowed to attend outside of our half hour slot, nobody was answering the phones so wasn’t sure either way. Heading towards the not well advertised overflow car park which was managed by luck it wasn’t apparent if it was full or not but there appeared to be no entrance. That is to say save for an area where 2 individuals in hi-vis sat away from the road, one rolling a joint the other playing on their phone. Eventually finding a spot to park on street that wasn’t limited to a 3hr window, on walking past the zoo car park it became evident there wasn’t any active management of the car parks as despite still being closed there were numerous empty spaces available. The penguins were a highlight though these days there are few and trying to see them at feeding time is awkward due to the crowd. The best for me was the seal feeding and talk as despite the crowd I was able to see due to the animals being clearly much larger than penguins. The fruit bats able to walk around overhead was also an enjoyable experience. Witnessed and area of concern when I was exiting through the gift shop, where an employee was weaving a stack of boxes through the busy crowds above her head height balanced on a wheelchair of all things?! I doubt that was on the risk assessment.

Amazing zoo! The exhibits were great and the animals were easy to see. There was a lot of things to do with kids. We spent about 4 hours here with our 3 kids and could have spent more time. We brought our buggy and it was easy to get around everywhere.

Lots to see and great for children, especially if not wanting/expecting to see large animals as don't have rhino's, elephants, giraffes, tigers etc. The lions and gorillas are the largest they have so manage small children's expectations! They have a fantastic reptile house, butterfly garden and lots more.

Took my 2 yr old grandson yesterday, the first time for him. Car park was full but was lucky enough to find a space to park in the street around the corner. All the animals were so lovely and well cared for. The staff around the park, all very friendly and helpful. Didn't get to see any penguins, otters or gorilla. The aquarium section was excellent, the fish are huge, totally amazed us. Nice little play park for the children. A lovely day out. Gift shop very expensive tho.

Highly recommended. My kids loved it. So much to watch. Restaurant facilities available onside. Few from many to watch as follows: Penguins, lion, gorillas, snakes, butterfly is must watch as it involves kids to spot rare blue morphos, flamingos, monkeys and .unhealthy much more. The only thing I was disappointed was parking charges which wasn't included in tickets fee and end up paying £5 for whole day.

Visited May 6, 2019: It certainly lived up to its name, and was fun even for someone who was in his mid-20s. Outside area is a great place to just chill out, too. Sad to see it’s been closed for a while because of a fire, though. Hope they come back soon.

We the Curious (previously @Bristol), is an excellent place to bring young and old kids. There is plenty to do and plenty of space. There are two floors filled with lots of different scientific and animating stands to keep you and the kids occupied for hours. Worth a day ticket or a full year pass. There is a cafe, picnic area with vending machines, toilets upstairs and downstairs. There are 2 lifts and stairs. They have a planetarium with regular shows throughout the day. Worth a visit if you want to expand your mind or a child's mind,lota of fun exploring and learning to be done here!

One of the best children's museums I've been to... So well designed that can easily spend the whole day there. I took my son for his fourth birthday and he absolutely loved it. Facilities for lunch and bathroom/baby change are great. The variety of activities, including lots of hands on activities is stimulating and the open plan design facilitates child led experience. Would definitely recommend and am sure to visit again if I'm ever in Bristol!

My visit was about a year ago. Great experience, and interesting displays. Some of the displays were amazing and great fun and very interactive, with even more hands-on interactive displays upstairs. Some were very cliché though, like the one with an "AI robot" which I think didn't do AI justice at the time, and I imagine didn't age very well over this past year with the advances in large language models and generative AI specifically. However I look forward to returning, as I have heard the displays are rotated out, and others in, over time. :) This is definitely one of the better ones!

The five stars relate to when We The Curious is open. It houses a hands-on exploratory with the sort of exhibits that I would love to have seen as a child. Unfortunately there was a fire earlier in year which means it is currently shut for repair. Apparently the fire was caused by gulls causing an electrical fire on the solar panels on the roof! While the exploratory is closed the staff are running free sessions in Millennium Square for children to build the biggest, tallest and most beautiful structures.

I've never been to a science museum, I was amazed, and thought it was INCREDIBLE. What was there was amazing and took my breathe away... and definitely needs to be seen by all. Highly recommended, the staff was brilliant and helpful. I came out of our visit here more intelligent 🤣

Always love a Science Museum. Ideal for a family day out, or a perfect date if you are both big, curious children at heart (I had far too much fun with the giant bubbles). Phrases big questions in fun and easy to understand ways and blends science with art and philosophy seamlessly. Intended to take more photos, but got swept up into the magic. Recommend.

We had the best time at Chain Reaction, which was in Millennium Square and run by We The Curious, the Museum which is sadly closed due to a recent fire. Sign up is definitely required on the board outside the tent, so we registered then went somewhere else and came back for our session. About 45 minutes of building and a grand performance with everyone at the end - the atmosphere was brilliant. I thought the staff were utterly ace, every single one was child-oriented, super enthusiastic, and chatty with the grown ups so you felt like they really loved teaching everyone about science. We’d definitely look out for more school holiday events and can’t wait for the main museum to be back open.

We first went when the science museum was named @bristol and several times since then as "we the curious". What a fantastic place to take anyone. Kids yes but you could do on a date here it is so much fun and so much to learn. You can certainly spend a day or two hanging out in this fascinating place. We loved the Observatories and the 3d Planetarium. The bubbles in “Our World”, of course, playing with magnets in the “Curiosity Zone”, sand, water! Absolutely everything fun for kids including an old fashioned brick area for building your castle. We thought the animation section “Animate It” was terrific, and we explored every puzzle in “Your Amazing Brain”. I don’t think we would get fed up with this if we tried. The food there is excellent, a little pricey, though, and straightforward. You can go out and come back, so there are a plethora of places so close that you can choose from if you prefer something more exotic than a coronation chicken jacket potato. The fact that they support local charities is a bonus.

My son and I decided to go away for a couple of days. I remember this place when it first opened so thought I would take him. I made the right choice he loved it. We had so much fun looking at animations and bubbles and lots of other amazing things. We did pay extra for the 3d solar system show and I will highly suggest to do it if you can it took my breath away and my son's too. He has talked about it non stop. Lots to do if suggest get there in the morning as it does get busy.

A great museum with a lot of exhibits about the history of Bristol and its people. Is worth a visit and entry is free. Been on the ground floor is great for wheelchair users and people with prams. Entry is free and is only 10 minutes walking distance from SS Great Britain. The cafe with the seating outside is a nice place to spend time.

Absolutely brilliant place to visit. Great accessibility for wheelchair users, lovely cafe and amazing interactive displays. The shop has loads of quirky and unusual gifts available, and the museum itself works for any age and ability, a definite 'must visit'. We'll be back time and time again.

Lovely place to visit, full of the history of Bristol. Fully wheelchair & pushchair accessible, spread over 2 floors with lifts. Cafe did a great lunch at a great price. Vegan options available. We'll worth a visit, free to get in but a suggested donation of £5 can be given at any of the many donation stations around the museum.

Had a great visit. First time visit and really enjoyed it. My father worked at Rolls Royce in the 70s and worked on Concorde after mentioning this an amazing guide took us behind the scenes to look at one of their exhibits. We would highly recommend a visit it is highly worth it.

Great place to spend an afternoon learning about the history and evolution of Bristol (and England in general!) I love the fact that the walls are full not only with interesting things but also pictures of contemporary people - change makers, visionaries, activists, artists and so on. There’s an original Banksy on sight, the Grim Reaper - one of the oldest ones, a cool range of vintage cars, motorbikes and other means of transportation and there’s even an old red telephone box. Cool place! Excellent for tourists! Free entrance ticket and parking available nearby..

M Shed should be your to do list when you are around, first the entry is free , second it’s amazing museum place to know the history of Bristol. M Shed is spread across three floors any picture and review can’t do justice to the place, do visit. Time - 30- 120 minutes depending on your inquisitiveness.

Visited May 6, 2019: Interesting different pieces of local history. I love the location as you can look out to the waters from certain areas of the museum, which is very relaxing, and just the overall vibe being at a docking area (no less emphasized by the towering cranes outside the museum).

I visited with my 3 year old son and he enjoyed a lot of the exhibitions and we learnt more about Bristol's history. The staff were very nice and helpful. Toilets were easy to access and clean. We will be back again soon.

There’s a beautiful view from the rooftop! It’s free and you can access from the 2nd floor. The museum has a great collection about the city of Bristol but the exhibition itself seems a bit old fashioned. I miss the recent facts like Black Lives Matter protest.

Some really interesting exhibits. I particularly liked the information about the Pegasus engines. Some of the interactives were not working which was a bit of a let down and some were traditional museum faire which I think could be improved, but it was good and we will likely visit again. I also really enjoyed the tea and rocky road in the cafe.

A spacious, modern museum that tells a lot of fascinating stories about Bristol’s past. Very easy to lose a few hours walking around here, and there are often related harbourside activities involving older technology (steam train, cranes, different boats) during the weekends in the summer months. Make sure you head to the top floor (and, if you can, on the balcony of the top floor) for a great view of Central Bristol!

It's not my thing. I have tried to come here a few times and it just falls flat for me. The displays are of good quality and I find pieces to be interesting but it doesn't seem to grab my attention. It just felt more like a free place to go when the weather is not good. The toilets are of great quality and I liked that there was a specific section for Muslims to wash before their prayer, that was a nice touch. It is free entry and I wonder if it's more suited for another demographic but sadly it's not my thing.

This is an interesting eclectic museum about the Bristol area, its history, and its people. It is free to visit and includes a cafe, a shop, and a roof terrace with riverside views.

Excellent free museum with fabulous attempts at both decolonisation and explanation of why Bristolians are so cool: they fight for what is right.

I love this place. Free (donations are requested). Full of interesting items for young and old alike and slap bang in thr middle of a grest location with awesome shops, attractions and food nearby in Whapping Wharf, Millenium Square, SS Great Britain and the City Centre. Add to that the views of the city and the hustle and bustle of the harbour and you are onto a winner. Getting to catch a steam train outside, exploring the Matthew or taking to the water all adds to the experience. It is a simple must do in Bristol whether you are a local or a visitor. Part of what makes Bristol so special. One caveat - the cafe is not in my view the cheapest but there are plenty of other places nearby for food and drink.

Yes this is the first time I visit a museum.. I was so excited to see the art 🖼️ how was the life past time 🕰️. You can see here old Bristol life . Where people was so good and there life style and culture. Also you can find here lots of information ℹ️ about world culture and history. Recommend to go here family and friends.

This is free! It surprised me as I had lived in Bristol for several years and didn't know that. It provides some interesting history of the different areas of Bristol, but the highlight of course is the little steam train that runs up and down outside throughout the day. Located next to a nice row of shops and cafes. Also I went during the Bristol Unicorn trail so I've attached photos of those from around the city. The white one is at M shed, the space one at Temple meads, the yellow and blue one at wake the tiger and the Bristol themed one at the cathedral.

Had a really lovely time this afternoon, when it's open it's a nice place to visit especially if like today it's cold, wet and windy outside

Spectacular views from one of the tallest points of the city for free of charge. There's a catch though: you need climb a relatively steep hill and a couple of steps before getting access to these amazing views, but in my opinion, all the efforts are well-worth it. I did not regret and would go back any other time without hesitation.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Bristol that blends history, nature, and amazing views, Cabot Tower Park is the place to go. The tower lets you see the city and harbor from a different perspective. The park around it has a peaceful nature reserve, plenty of greenery, and a playground. It’s open every day and free to visit, so anyone can enjoy its benefits. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore Bristol’s past, relax in nature, and admire the beautiful scenery at Cabot Tower Park

Fantastic views as far as the eye can see after a short climb up a narrow flight of circular stairs. The kids enjoyed the clear views of Bristol and beyond in this sunny, cool, and windy day, as well as experiencing vertigo looking down. Well worth the effort up Brandon Hill where the tower proudly stands.

The goods - The tower is old and have historical value - You can climb to the top of the tower for free, the view from top is mesmerizing - The park surrounding that and the Brandon hill all together is so beautiful - Great place for morning and evening walk - Nice place for nature photographers, I found many birds as well as people feeding squirrels Improvements Really nothing I could find that's not good about this place Advice When climbing above, bring a torch and a water bottle. Also be very careful as the stairs are very small and at once only one person can climb up or down.

Cool little place to visit while in Bristol. Panoramic views of the city for free. If visiting do wrap up warm as it’s windy at the top and make sure you have a light as near sunset the stairs can get very dark as there is no light inside. People do pass on the spiral stairs so can be a challenge getting up. It is 100% worth the effort to go to!

This is must watch place in Bristol. If you visit Bristol, you can climb up to the tower and get free access to the whole of Bristol watch from the tower. Clear visibility to Clifton suspension bridge.

Great sky view of Bristol! The park it is in is beautiful. It does have some tight narrow stairs, so be careful! It also has two levels, so if there are too many people you can always go to the next.

A free tower climb in the heart of Bristol with stunning views. The steps are a little tiny, use your phone as a torch for the first section, but this is well worth the climb. The first set of stairs are the hardest but just when the fatigue starts to creep, you are at the first lookout. The top platform is a much shorter and well lit stairwell up. The stairwell is a little on the confined side, coming down is very easy - if you have larger feet be sure to walk on the outer edges for the widest step

A nice place to visit and have a walk around away from the busy crowds , it doesn’t feel like you are in the centre of Bristol.

Amazing view over all of Bristol! Surrounded by gorgeous garden ponds and thin little stone walkways leading up to the tower. You can walk up the tower for free, and I would definitely recommend going at sunset because the view is just spectacular. A very tight helix staircase to the top, but the view is worth it. There are 2 levels you can get out at, so you don't have to go to the top. Between the lower level and the upper level the staircase is even smaller, but the view is much better.

Visited May 6, 2019: Quite the brisk exercise getting to the place. Climbing up the tower itself can definitely be claustrophobic for some folks out there, basically having one path going up and down, so there's a queue for the most part waiting for one side to finish up. The views at the top, however, are rewarding, each side worth your time. The best of them being the greenery in the immediate area below.

If you want a great FREE view of the city, climb this tower! It is open from 8am everyday. Depending on the time of year, the earliest it closes is 6:15pm. There are 2 levels you can view from by walking up the narrow stairs. The 2nd staircase is very narrow and steep... so not for the claustrophobic! The garden around is very pretty and there are also lots of cute squirrels to see up close. Enjoy the view!

Didn't expect to find this. I highly recommend visiting the park and climbing up to the tower if you're visiting Bristol. Narrow spiral stairs to the top and has two layers to view the city from. You can get nice pictures for yourself. And what I like the most is that it's free!

Fun tower to climb up. The climb is tight so it's essentially single-file. Especially the highest part of the tower. But you have a great view of the entire area when you finally get to the very top. The stairs get more and more treacherous as you climb up.

Nice park in central area, next to university. Tower is free to visit with steep tiny stairs. Beautiful views on whole city. You can have some exercise in park workout area with some bars. Squirrels running from tree to tree, and you are still in busy part of the city. That is what I like on English cities. Parks with beautiful grass and trees.

Lovely lookout point with a bird’s eye view of the city, free of charge, atop a hill. Steep steps and narrow stairwells in the tower itself so not suitable for wheelchair users

We visited Bristol and decided to climb the tower, which was a great experience. The weather was good, which was lucky for us as we were able to see quite a bit. You can see many miles around, but you also get a good view of things nearby including the Clifton Suspension bridge and Brunel's SS Great Britain in the docks in the Harbour.

I like this tower a lot because of the view points. You may need stamina to climb up, the staircase is quite narrow and allow one person to pass through at a time. It takes around 5 minutes to climb to the top, but you can also go out in the midway to take some beautiful photos

Wonderful views of the city at two different levels, the top level has some info boards with mapped distances to an amazing variety of places. The tower is pretty steep and it's a long way up the hill to get to it, so only attempt if you're up for a hearty hike. Also be aware that the staircase is extremely tight. But it is a wonderful free attraction. Just be aware it closes around dusk!

Stunning view point in Bristol, with a lovely and peaceful park. Plenty space for sitting and enjoying the view. And lots of pathways to explore around. Beautiful nature and stunning views all year around.
