" Very interesting attraction even if you are not a massive marine or sailing fan. Very well executed, interactive with great attention to detail. You will learn a bit about history and long and twisted journey of this great ship. Great and entertaining place to visit not just for kids. Worth checking out. "

" What a fabulous experience visiting the SS Great Britain. The museum was fascinating and the engineering technology of the day quite amazing. But inside the vessel was a whole new world of history, so well preserved and so interesting to explore. Thank you to all the people who have designed and maintained such a treasure in maritime history. "

" Absolutely amazing, information is clearly displayed and the layout is amazing. The displays are interactive and you can even dress up in Victorian clothing for free! One of the best experiences we have ever had. Amazing how much work has gone into the place and how accurate it is. Will definitely be returning - on the tickets that are automatically valid for a year! "

" The family attraction in Bristol! Dive into the history of some of the most important technical inventions on sea ever made.
From the building to the unbelievable story of her recovery from the Falklands, a unique piece of technical art. Enter the decks and experience how life on board was 150+ years ago. "

" It is a fantastic family day out. This is absolutely the go-to-place for anyone visiting Bristol. The SS Great Britain is a breath taking majestic grandeur of engineering, style, and class. The ship has been faithfully restored, and the hull has been preserved. The drydock area is simply amazing and a must see!! It puts everything into scale and perspective when you see the size of the dock, ship hull, and propeller/rudder. The view from the deck is very nice on a sunny day, would recommend you explore the deck fully. Don't forget to visit the engine room below to meet the guide who will explain why this great ship is the "great great great grand father" of all modern ship designs. Also you (hopefully) will see the engine pistols turn which is a amazing site to see it working. Would recommend you arrive a hour earlier before it opens to visit the dockyard cafe next door for breakfast. Then enter as soon as it opens to avoid queues. If you are arriving by car, you absolutely need to arrive early as the car park fills up quickly. You will also get a voucher from the parking ticket machine for ss Great Britain (but not absolutely sure what it offers as it does not present any details) . But the current prices are very good value for money, tickets last for one year, unlimited entry. "
