    Very interesting place for anyone with an interest in history and I found the story of its discovery and preservation almost as interesting. Only comment I would make is to manage your expectations, this is the bath house or a villa, not a public baths so an hour is all you'll need/get to do the tour

    The discovery of the site is as interesting as the site itself. This is one of the best small museums I've ever visited, full of history and plenty of humour too displayed on the info boards. Simon, the museum guide, is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommended.

    Visited with my family. The site is fairly small but they've packed a lot in. All is centred the archaeological remains of a roman bath house once attached to a villa complex discovered in the 1960's. There are plenty of objects for visitors to handle, smell and play with including puzzles and replicas. The remains themselves are well presented with labels and information posted at various places to help you understand what you are seeing. We were greeted by staff who clearly love their job and were very welcoming and knowledgeable. They gave us an account of the sites discovery, how it came to be preserved and told us a little about how Romans would have used the baths, information that is also shown around the baths but it's nice to hear it related with such passion and enthusiasm. Would recommend for a fun and educational way to spend an hour so.

    A lovely, informative experience yesterday at Welwyn Roman Baths. Our guide was phenomenal. Thank you for educating us and sharing your knowledge. Our young people enjoyed the games and challenges. Well worth a visit.

    Amazing find hidden beneath the A1. The museum guide, Christa, was absolutely fantastic and really knows her stuff. During our time there she guided several people around and she speaks with so much passion. It's small but very interactive with lots for the children to do. Another plus are the eco toilets - its great to see places doing their bit for the environment. I highly recommend a visit!

    It was very expensive for what it was, interesting but limited. You will struggle to spend an hour there! Unless the kids are very keen on Roman Bath history.

    My kids loved it here! Many games and puzzles for them to interact with. It's not large but you can get a lot out of the experience if you absorb the abundance of information on offer. Very helpful employee at the entrance.

    Spend a good hour and a hard here with the children. Lots of information and mini activities for them to do. We'll worth the entry fee for this little gem sitting under the A1

    A fantastic site in a unique location. A rare chance to see the surving remains of a private Roman Bath House, along with finds from the site when it was excavated in the 60s & 70s. All housed in a purpose built steel chamber 9m below the A1 motorway!

    Fascinating place to visit and, for a small museum, there is plenty to see. The floor plan of the baths is pretty complete so it's easy to see how the baths were used and heated. Really interesting info boards and artefacts to see as well. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    Took my 3 year old daughter for a visit today. She was completely engaged throughout. A wonderfully put together museum that is suitable for all ages. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately they were close while we were there. They only open Saturday, Sunday, weekends bank holidays and children's school holidays. Was disappointed as we heard so much about them.

    This must rate as one of the most unusual Roman baths to visit... under the A1. Excellent interpretation and enthusiastic staff and volunteers.

    We had a really interesting visit to the Welwyn Roman Baths made all the more special by Freddy who gave us a tour and shared lots of knowledge about the site, its history and the process of uncovering the remains and protecting them from the A1 and preserving them for future generations. Highly recommended as a very interesting visit.
