What travelers are saying
- Dan DPlymouth, UK126 contributionsStep back in time and take in the sheer scale of this super ocean liner. Travelling from Liverpool to both Melbourne and San Francisco, you can really get a taste of times gone by. Alan the dry dock guide was an encyclopaedia of information given in a so natural and friendly way. We really enjoyed our visit.Written March 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Really worth all the climbing on the hills.
Spectacular indeed.
Easy to get there by buss from Bristol.Written March 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We loved the place, lovely vibe, old and young singing along to live music. Good drinks, mid range price but worth it.Written March 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You see parts of the city you wouldn't otherwise see. Plus it's a great way to get around the city and to get to and from the station!Written October 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kelly AAttleborough, UK263 contributionsVisited late on a sunny winter afternoon, it’s a bit steep with tiny steps so those of a nervous disposition should avoid. But the view from the top is great. Shame some people leave letter and graffiti. It is a bit smelly in the stairway. Maybe a spring clean is in order from a volunteer group. Well worth to hike to get to it.Written March 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- EmilyLondon, UK513 contributionsCame here as had some free time in the morning, not too busy initially but very full by lunch time.
A range of good exhibits all well maintained & displayed.
Staff were friendly & helpful.

Our group would visit again.Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Niamh SiobhanOxford, UK38 contributionsAbsolutely loved my visit to the museum! There was so much to look at, and so many interactive pieces too! I went to kill time between plans and have absolutely no regrets, it was so fascinating seeing how Bristol was represented and seeing its past. I love dinosaurs so was very happy to find the little hidden treasure at the back! And the second floor was just so informative and moving. Definitely would come back over and over if I could!!Written March 5, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jason522350 contributionsThis is an excellent trip down memory lane and beyond. The museum is packed out from roof to floor full of interesting things to see.
I come from a farming background so a lot of the exhibits and old tractors bring back memories of my childhood.
Good clean toilets, good parking on site.
There is a cafe offering great food and drinks at very reasonable prices.Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So much to learn about the connections with the poets Chatterton, Coleridge and Southey. Also, Hogarth, Handel, Penn and, of course, Good Queen Bess.
"We had a lovely tour today – much enjoyed by all.Bryan as guide and organist was brilliant – please tell him"Written February 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - MatthewIsTheNameOxfordshire, UK249 contributionsWe wanted to meet some friends and take our little one to the Aquarium. Bristol aquarium is small and could be completed in 1-1.5 hours. We had a nice stroll through with plenty of fish to look at.
The main tank is the main feature with a mixture of fish but it is essentially viewed from different angles to make it seem like you’re seeing more.
There are definitely bigger aquariums but this is a central location that would be great for kids parties.
Overall we had a great family day out but perhaps without kids you might be a little disappointed.Written March 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
