Brunel's SS Great Britain

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!

Great day out, so much to see. I haven't been here for 30 years and what they have done at that time is amazing. Wonderful to see the cabins and also the engine turning over. A huge amount of information there to, fascinating day out.

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.

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.

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.
