Small but good museum about the Roman History of Canterbury. The setup of the museum is great with al the puppets and recreations. Very good if you're with small children. Had a lovely chat with Eve, she helped us a lot with recommendations for other visits.

We visited this museum on Easter Monday. We booked tickets online with free admission for our children. It wasn't crowded, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a great museum for any ancient history fan, especially if you want to understand the important role Roman settlers played in England. The museum itself isn't huge, taking 1-1.5 hours to explore, but it's still worth it. If you're looking for something to get your children interested in history, this place is a good place to start. I highly recommend it.

A smallish but extremely interesting museum, it was surprising just how deep the Roman level was compared with today's streets. There was plenty to see and read and we weren't rushed along by any staff. There were replica shops, as the photos show, and the remains of the floor of a Roman house which was in situ. We spent over an hour wandering slowly through the museum.

A great little place taking you back and literally down (to the old Roman Street level) in history. Awesome to see original mosaics in place and learn about everyday Roman life as well as the rise and fall of Roman Canterbury. It is bonkers how different Canterbury was and not that long ago. That said this is no Bath Roman Baths so don't go expecting anywhere near an equivalent experience.

The Canterbury Roman Museum offers an intriguing glimpse into Roman Britain but is a fairly small museum. Adult tickets are priced at £11, which feels a bit high considering the compact size and limited exhibits. It took us only around 15-20 minutes to explore, and that was with reading most of the information boards. However, what stands out as genuinely fascinating is the museum’s historical context: it’s built on the actual remains of a Roman settlement, uncovered during WWII bombings. The preserved mosaic floors and artifacts offer an authentic look into Roman life, and knowing you’re standing where Romans once lived adds an undeniable charm. While not extensive, the museum is worth a visit if you’re interested in history or looking to experience Canterbury’s rich layers of past civilizations.
