My husband and I took our 2 children (aged 6 &7) and we all loved it. It is worth trying to find - its tucked away in a not very appealing side street. The kids loved it and referred to some of the places seen in the video as we went around Rome. It also gave us a break from... more

After walking around Rome on a hot July day we were relived to spend an hour in the Time elevator. We chose to see 2 shows, the first on evolution of the world the second on the history of Rome. I would recommend the History of Rome although the children really enjoyed both shows. The history of Rome was enjoyed... more

I thought I'd pop into this cheesy attraction during my first day in Rome. I wanted to get the Rome History 101 session before I dive into my 5 days of sightseeing. I was fully expecting a high level of cheese, but I thought that would make it kitchy fun. Lord, no... It never got to the so-bad-it's-good level. It... more

Terrible show, the projectors were out of focus and not lined up and the colour balance was wrong. The experience was unenjoyable and a waste of money and time! When I mentioned the issues with the gentleman directing people in he said "yes, we are having technical problems" We were ripped off! more

We went to the Time Elevator on 25th Sept having seen it advertised in our hotel. At the entrance to the street where it is located someone was handing out flyers giving a discount. We walked straight there and handed them the flyer we had been given about 30 seconds before to be told it was not valid! We paid... more

After a 2 week trip around Italy we liked the idea of sitting down and being 'entertained' for a bit. oh well, that didn't last very long. The 1 hour combined show's are very over priced. The first 'horror' 3D show that we watched was awful. shocking story and poor graphics. if it wasn't for the 3D effects i would... more

Having seen the ancient Rome sites, this visit to the Time Elevator was 'the icing on the cake', so to speak. Most of us are visual learners and this is the ideal way to see how Rome truly was. It's a fast paced, exciting journey into the past and really enables us to capture a glimpse of Rome and it's... more

When in Rome on a hot summer day, there is only so much gelato and granita you can bribe your kids with, so that they will 'endure' yet another visit to a monument or museum. We found this attraction to be a perfect incentive for our sons ages 10 and 12: we wanted to do some sightseeing to roman ruins... more

As much as I loved the Sistine Chapel in person, nothing can compare to the experience and knowledge I gained from viewing it in a 5D form. I was awestruck by the incredible technology which brought the past to present! Because as TED (time elevator device for you rookies!) would say, in Rome, the past is always present! This brief... more

We enjoyed the experience it was fun, I was away with another couple but my kids would have loved it (very disney!!) A mad proffessor takes you on a time travel journey through roman history. You are in seats which jerk around to give the impression you are travelling in a time machine. It was a fun 40 minutes and... more
