Kids Go Free This Summer

This offer has now passed!

Thank you to everyone who visited over Summer 2023 – for the first time ever Brunel’s SS Great Britain welcomed children 16 years and under for free to celebrate the 180th anniversary of the SS Great Britain’s launch!

Your Day Out

Think there isn’t much to see? Let us surprise you. Enjoy a packed day for the whole family at Bristol’s No.1 Attraction.

Immerse yourself amongst the sights, sounds and smells of a Victorian voyage aboard the ship.

Get up close to the awe-inspiring hull in a 360° walk around the SS Great Britain’s original dry dock where she was built and look behind the scenes at a working shipyard.

Uncover the mind behind the ship, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who designed the world’s first great ocean liner. Step into his office, sit in a broad gauge carriage and compare your drawing skills with Brunel’s.
