Segedunum isn't a bad place to visit. It's got some remains, outlines of where buildings used to be and a museum. It will while away on hour, if you need something to do. However, if you want a real Roman experience then visit the Hadrian's Wall and some of the bigger sites, it will keep you and the kids entertained... More

The fort itself is reduced to almost ground level so there is little to see. The reconstructed baths are interesting and there is a tower you can go up to get an overall view. There is also a museum section which is fine for children. Unless you are a real Roman buff I'd give it a miss. More
