Best for families who want a compact dose of Roman history that works for all ages, with free entry and thoughtful touches for visitors who need them.
π Funzaroo Verdict
The pull is a compact Roman collection that costs nothing yet suits children and adults alike, with ramps, sensory packs and portable chairs easing visits for those who need them. The one real catch is a cramped accessible toilet. Pairing it with the nearby barracks and amphitheatre makes a proper Roman day out.

βAbsolutely top class Roman history experience. The best preserved Roman barracks that can be freely accessed in the whole of Europe. Followed 100 m away. by Britain's best preserved amphitheater. The excellent Village Bakery for snack lunch, 100 m beyond the museum. The Roman Legion Museum, is a brilliant way to end the tour, it so cleverly caters for all ages. Lots for the children, young and older adults. Today we were privileged to see the crochet spectacular of flowers in honour of the Goddess Floralia. Just a pity it runs for such a short time.β

βIt,s free, nice staff ,lot's of useful information and interesting items explained with care, they have a shop with affordable gifts, specially recommend the roman guide of the city for 4'95Β£, really helpful to navigate around the area. They also have something i had never seen before, a recreation of a roman garden ..awesome.β

βSmall free museum which was a lovely. School trip was in progress with lots of very well behaved little ones enjoying the museum. My one disappointment was the "accessible" toilet facilities which was cramped and I found the wooden romanesque seat inaccessible and unsanitary.β

Overview
A single, well-stocked room where Roman finds are explained with care in several languages, so children and adults can follow the story of the occupation together. Ramps, sensory packs and chairs you can carry round smooth the way, and the little shop stocks affordable keepsakes.
