Visited whilst they were setting up for an event so was not able to explore fully . I would definitely recommend buying a joint ticket with the museum so that way if the same thing happens to you you’ve only spent £1.50 to visit here. Worth a look ,

£3 per person entry fee, no discount for English Heritage, who would have explained things a bit better than the owners here.
Small area to walk round and view, including the actual remains of a Roman theatre.

Well presented ruins of the Roman Theatre, located on the edge of the town centre at the end of Verulamium park.

We came when the theatre was being set up for a festival, so it wasn’t possible to go down amidst the ruins, so you walk around the perimeter which has three or four information boards and that’s your lot. I questioned the staff about this and they explained that no one can explore the ruins at any time. Therefore this is the only Roman ruin I have visited in this country where it’s not possible to walk among the ruins. They are scant ruins and there are no health and safety concerns so I think this is poor and said so. If you want to visit this, make sure you get a discount from the main museum, be prepared to view from afar and for the whole thing to take ten minutes. The other ruins have virtually no features and are in the middle of excavation so provide scant additional interest.

The remains of the Roman Theatre in St Albans are a must see historical location. As St Albans was a such a large Roman city this is one the best Roman locations in the United Kingdom

This is very nicely presented, but it is a shame that the theatre did not hold up as well as some other Roman theatres from that era. Get your combined ticket at the museum, which is superb, and see the other Roman remains in the park. Stop at the cathedral, too, for a different historic period. St Albans is a great place for a day outing from London.

Obviously, not much remains from this theater, just ruins. But still, historical landmark! Just imagine romans somewhere north from London! Access is 2.5 pound per adult, there is parking. There are signs and information boards you can read some background info. And benches! So sit down and enjoy the view.

Despite no masonry remains this is surprisingly impressive and better than it looks in photographs. Excellent information boards which make it easy to visualise what the theatre would have looked like. There are also some other house and shop remains close by. Visit together with the museum and adjacent park for a good picture of Roman St Albans.

Lots of roman history about the local area. Very interesting place to visit and explore. Not much survives of the original roman town but the museum is very informative. A must visit when in st albans. Has a lovely park too. The theater has outside plays there too.

Visiting the Theatre at Veruamium was something that I had wanted to do for decades. Arriving to find that most of the site was off limits was bad enough, but to see it filled with modern seating, lighting and stage with trailing cables and ramps over the ruins made it very difficult to enjoy. I asked if i could go down into the centre but was told that no-one was allowed there, even when there wasn't a festival on. This seemed strange as the audience for the festival were going to be seated there, and many of the interpretation boards could only be viewed from within the ruins! I was offered a refund but I wanted to look around the rest of the site. That was perhaps a mistake as the other excavated remains were not of great interest, and the main interpretation board for the Town House was inaccessible due to the festival hospitality tents.
