The SS Great Britain was the world’s largest passenger ship from 1845 to 1854 and the first iron hulled, screw propeller ship to cross the Atlantic. Excellent museum, both about the building and life of the ship and Brunel. Fascinating to walk around the restored cabins, dinning rooms, kitchens, engine room, etc and underneath, in the same dry dock where the ship was originally built.Entry prices are high - £22 per adult or £8 if in receipt of Universal Credit, no age concessions, minor reductions on family tickets with children. If you are fairly local, the tickets are valid for a year and it is worth going back.Bristol council manages the adjacent car park with high charges although you get a discount when buying entry tickets for the SS Great Britain, resulting in a parking charge of £5 for up to 5 hours. BEWARE the payment machines only accept coins - no notes or cards - which can mean the minimum charge of £7.50 is a problem. Alternatively, pay by RingGo app but mobile reception in the car park isn’t good and it may take over 10 minutes to download the app - download before you go.
