Roman Baths Museum

We were in the baths by 9:45am and at the peak of the tourist season, this was probably a good idea. As when we were sitting outside the Abbey at around 3pm we could see that the baths were much much busier than when we'd been there. Also, go early and you will beat the hordes of foreign teenagers on tours! The baths weren't cheap to enter (£12 for an adult) I think, although concessions for children/students/OAPs are available. For an extra £2 you can get a joint ticket for the fashion museum, which is certainly worth doing if you were planning to visit that museum anyway. On arrival you are given a device like a large phone to listen to an ...  Read the complete review

VISIT The leaflet advertising this attraction, in the heart of the city of Bath, advises that you allow at least two hours for your visit. I would certainly agree with them, there is so much to see and it really is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Romans. GENERAL INFORMATION Don't let the fact that this is called a "Museum" put you off. It is not at all boring and very suitable for all ages, and especially educational for children. In fact, I would recommend any child interested in history and the Romans, would thoroughly enjoy themselves here. It is a great place to explore! We visited on a sunny ...  Read the complete review

My eldest daughter has had her 13year-old German student, Linda, over for the past week and a bit. One of the places she was especially interested in visiting was the Roman Baths museum in, erm, Bath. Her English textbook has a whole unit devoted to it and her teacher had advised her to go, if she had the chance to. So the four of us – hubby and I, my eldest and Linda – spent last Friday in Bath, braving the rain and discovering the historic delights of Aquae Sulis. We had previously checked out the details on the website and knew a visit would take about two hours and that our cheapest option was purchasing a family ticket for £22, which we did. ...  Read the complete review

It is pathetic to have to admit it but some of the happiest hours of my life have been spent in the Roman Baths Museum in Bath. Being a bit of a culture vulture I can honestly say that this is the best laid-out and most well organised museum I have ever visited. It caters for all levels and tastes and has some unique and astounding exhibits. The best time to go here is on a weekday or in bad weather, as both these things will make it less likely to be packed. Although bad weather is also dead practical, as the whole thing is indoors or undercover. So don't just stand in a charity-shop doorway when it starts tipping it down unexpectedly - race to the ...  Read the complete review
