What makes it 81% Kids-Friendly: Children’s audio guide, activity trails and roaming Roman actors make history fun; however, uneven steps, water edges and limited tactile exhibits mean close adult supervision is essential.
Why 1-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Enough time to use audioguides, complete activity trails and explore the baths at a relaxed pace with kids.
Children’s Audio Tour:
Michael Rosen narrates Roman life stories for younger visitors.
Tip: Pick up two children’s audioguides at reception and share earbuds so both kids can listen.
Family Activity Trails:

Tip: Collect preschool and primary sheets on arrival and carry a pencil.

Wonderful place to visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The museum is accessible, they have lifts throughout making it easy to enjoy. They have a free audio tour which has two options, one more adult orientated "documentary" style audio guides and one more child friendly character based audio tour.

This is one of those experiences that had I known about. It would have been on my bucket list! There was just something about walking through and seeing a piece of history and then getting to actually touch history when at the end they have the experience of actually sampling of the bath that was really really cool.

Walking around the Great Bath, with the steam rising from the water, really gives you a sense of what life was like here 2,000 years ago. The museum is well laid out, with fascinating artefacts and clear explanations, and...
