Better than London experience tours! - Brilliant tour would highly recommend this for anyone! Brilliant actors, great displays; our 4yr old enjoyed it more than the Shrek experience in London! Lots of interesting stuff for adults too. Excellent value for money.

Best museum ever! - This is my new favourite museum! We absolutely loved it, and so did our seven year old son. The guide leading the tour was brilliant - as well as being incredibly knowledgeable, he was hilarious! He had all the kids and adults laughing. Our son came away definitely having learnt lots, and more importantly, we all enjoyed ourselves. Thank you! I wish more museums were like this one x

Great information of Chester's Roman history - The information about the digs that happened at this site was very well displayed . and I liked the two roman soldiers - I found the information given very informative. We saw the soldier taking a group of school children out for a march, all of the children were really engaged and loved it. Fantastic presentation of the roman soldier , he answered all of our questions and knew all his facts, I would recommend to any family or oldies like us, we learnt a lot Thanks

Great visit to Deva Roman Centre - The tour was brilliant, the guide really made us feel part of what was going on around us. He and my daughter compared knowledge about Romans for ages.

Enjoyable but felt a bit ripped-off - We enjoyed it and I thought the “Roman Soldier” we met when we arrived and later on was very knowledgeable and entertaining. However it was expensive for what it was, not that much to see for the £25 I paid for entry, some of the interactive activities didn’t work or were missing which is not good considering it is a new attraction, so felt rather ripped-off.

Disappointing day! - Cannot rate as when we got there it was shut. It had let me book a ticket but it wasn't open. Still awaiting refund. Travelled nearly 2 hours to get there for my husband's birthday so was wasted trip.
