Well worth the time and money. Definitely use the audio guide; it's well done and makes the ruins come alive. The line can be long, but it moved quickly when we were there (late morning on a Saturday).

Why would anyone bother paying £12.50 for admission fee when they could see it for free in The Pump Room? Let me tell you it is not worth spending that money, you can enter The Pump Room Bath Abbey Churchyard, Bath BA1 1LZ and pretend that you are going for afternoon tea like everyone else but pass thru the hallway...

We spent a most interesting 2-3 hours going around the Roman Baths, which are well worth a visit if one is in the area. One is provided with an electronic guide, in the language of your choice, which explains the history and uses of the Baths; this guide was excellent. However, one needs to choose the right time to visit... More

So well displayed, with a clear route that enables absorption of the large number of visitors very comfortably. Also brilliantly explained in the audio guides, and with lively explanations of what the other finds there (altars, statues etc) tell about the times.

Well presented, large museum with extensive Roman remains - one of the best Roman sites in the UK. Very busy but well worth visiting.

This museum is cleverly organized and laid out, so with a self activated audio guide you can really enjoy this experience. Allow 2+ hours We went at opening time and during May, so there were NO crowds to contend with......consider your timing as I imagine this popular place, when crowded, would be a struggle to manage. Good quality of restoration... More

Very informative with lots of displays, audioguide as well as video guide for deaf people! It´s amazing to know that a hot well is still working since Roman time! This means, the working of the Roman people is everlasting! The shop is well-stocked and well-maintained! But it´s always overcrowded with people. During my visit there were so many Chinese people...

Visiting with a group of 16 of my French adult students learning English, the Roman Baths as Bath's premier tourist site was a must for us. Unfortunately, first impressions last and the man on the door was incredibly rude and officious, keeping my group outside in the chilly wind and making it difficult for me to collect (and check) payment...

We loved visiting the Roman baths...the tour was self guided so we could move at our own pace. One of the best things we have ever done/seen!
