there wasnt much to do see or do, ground with some stones from the roman times and a vewing booth aswell as a short vdeo to watch but thats it really, ok to kill some time with, but not worth the money, ok if it was free.

Annoying that you have to pay for this museum and Arbeia in South Shields is free. But it is an excellent place and overlooks the Tyne. The Roman Baths are canny (good). The views from the Tower are brilliant and the camp is well labelled.

The remains are very well conserved and easily accessible.. The viewing tower is incredible but I do wonder how much this must have cost- and how much tax payers money. The videos are instructive and worth a visit especially on a rainy day. It's a good morning out with the kids and a significant site at the eastern end of... More

I went to Newcastle just to visit the Adrian Wall and theyr ancient buildings. Segedunum was a very nice surprice: very nice museum with videos, recreations and illustrations where you can learn about the history of romans in England and how romans lived in uk. There's also a recreation of a section of the wall just outside the site and... More

The visitors center was fairly interesting with Roman clothes to try on for kids and plenty to see from archaeology digs. I was a little disappointed that the Roman baths were not available to use!!

This isn't the place to see the best preserved section of Hadrian's Wall or a Roman fort; the foundations of both are level to the ground. Even so, my husband and I felt that the stop was worth our time and admission ticket. The ninth floor of the viewing tower (reached by elevator, thankfully), is a good place to start,... More

I have visited here a couple of times, mostly due to other people wanting to visit not myself. The biggest problem here is that it is uninteresting, there's not much to see or do, there's a tiny museum and then some ruins to walk around but that's about it. I don't think it will keep kids entertained. It's not worth... More

We visited during our scottish half term holidays and our 9 & 7 year old girls thought that it was a great place to visit. Well laid out inside and very interactive for school kids. Bath house was interesting and walking round the site of the old walls gave great scale to the place. Well laid out for wheelchairs and... More
