Good value family fun and educational too! Also helps to fund important work. You can't visit Chester without learning about its important Roman past. More

We came to chester for a weekend away in Feb. We are from York so its pretty similar and we have a Viking Museum which is fantastic so we were expecting something very similar from the Roman Experience. Unfortunately we were very disappointed.
