Very interesting site, even though it's small, the curator who was there, explained in excellent details how this place was discovered. Then preserved and now open to the public on certain days.

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.

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!

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.
