    Great park with good and interesting explanations and a lots of hands-on elements in each exhibition. You can explore the main park for free but need to pay for entrance to the temple and bath. Lots of interactive presentations and explanations. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very inclusive and lots of details for visually impaired (so lots of models and things to touch). Entrance with 5€ for adults is really cheap for what you get. You can pay with card or cash, there is a cafe and toilets.

    Auch bei Regen sehenswert. Interessant und informativ. Zwei weitgehend überdachte Ausstellungsflächen sind durch einen schönen Park getrennt. Die Orientierung fiel mir zunächst schwer, aber entlang des Weges sind Hinweisschilder. Außerdem gibt das Personal sehr gern und freundlich Auskunft. Der Cappuccino ist auch zu empfehlen.

    Sehr interessant und sehenswert. Wer geschichtlich interessiert ist sollte unbedingt hier vorbeischauen. Für uns das beste an Kempten.

    Good showcase of how a Gallo-Roman temple precinct could have looked like. The museum has two locations! So dont forget to go to the Bathhouse excavation if you've only seen the temple.

    Sehr schöner Park. Die Ausgrabungen in den Hallen kosten Eintritt, der Rest ist frei zugänglich. Waren zufällig am Römerfest dort.

    We had a nice 3 hour stroll into the past here. Unfortunately still didn't see everything. Think we will be back some day to finish some other parts (that are accessible without any entrance fee ;)). Definitely try the App for the Augumented Reality parts!

    Nice Roman museum and archaeological site. The 'Roman' park area has 3 sites and this one is themed on religion in Roman times. It is rather nicely presented, with a lot of information both about the subject as wel as the actual excavation. With the same ticket you can also visit the bathhouse, approximately 5 minutes walk through the 'Roman' park.

    Cambodunum is an interesting place to visit, when in kempten. It gives you an insight into the way a Roman garrison functioned at the edge of the empire. The site also includes a lot of personal artifacts once owned by the legionnaires and auxiliaries, including their small figurines representing the gods they made offerings to before going into battle and much more. The baths where they went to bathe and relax is also excavated and roofed with even more interesting things to see.

    Very interesting archaeological exhibition of the remains of the Roman settlement of Cambodunum (Kempten). Good for kids interested in Roman history, also an excellent playground for the smaller ones.

    nice walk and some great views of Kempten along the way. however, reaching the "top" was quite disappointing. just one big flat area, with remnants of former Roman buildings. not worth it.

    We brought my Dad for the Römerfest and had a great time! As Dad is no longer able to get about easily, we borrowed a wheelchair from the main kiosk and were able to reach all parts of the site with him. The reconstructed temple is incredible and uses multimedia very imaginatively, describing the labours of Hercules, to whom the temple is dedicated, and allowing you to accompany a temple procession. The bathhouse foundations are extensive. Small reconstructed additions such as the wooden latrine section make it even easier to imagine how it was (there's even the ubiquitous sponge on a stick). The larger information boards also include information in English and at least one other language in addition to German. I also noticed a fascinating textured reconstruction of the temple with braille signage, so that visually impaired visitors could picture the temple and environs and feel the layout. The site is very cheap to visit most of the year, and even the additional festival day price with all the added attractions of gladiators, music and much more was a very reasonable 10€.

    Sehr schönes Museum / Anlage. Die römische Geschichte Kemptens sehr schön und anschaulich aufbereitet. Empfehlung: App runterladen und das Quiz erarbeiten, dann kommt man automatisch überall hin (mit den Kindern, macht aber sich auch ohne Spaß). Sympathisch auch das kleine Café, vor allem die "römischen Spezialitäten".

    Wir haben das Römerfest besucht und unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht enttäuscht. Wir konnten für ein paar Stunden in den Alltag der Römer eintauchen und sogar Gladiatoren mit kämpfe gab es.

    Hatten einen tollen Kindergeburtstag dort. Tolles Programm, kleine Führung, Infos kindgerecht nebenbei und Material zum anfassen und ausprobieren. Unsere Gäste waren sehr begeistert und wollten alle nochmal hin zum anschauen. Macht weiter so! So weckt man Interesse an Geschichte!
