About this activity

The Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset are one of the most incredible historic sites in the whole of Northern Europe, and now YOU get to visit and see this incredible piece of history with your very own eyes!

The Roman Baths were once the site of one of the great religious spas of the ancient world. In fact, the people of Roman Britain travelled great distances to worship the goddess Sulis Minerva and bathe in the natural thermal spring waters. They still flow with hot water today!

It's this fascinating history that kids can learn first hand during a trip to the Roman Baths complex, as they walk on original Roman pavements (which is incredible to see!) and see ruins such as the Temple of Sulis Minerva.

The museum collection is located next to the bathing complex, and includes some incredible pieces of Roman history including a gilt bronze head of the Goddess Sulis Minerva, along with other incredible and fascinating Roman artefacts.

In fact, the collection is home to thousands of archaeological finds dating from pre-Roman and Roman Britain, and kids can also learn how the site has changed over the past 2000 years!

A day out not to be missed, and one of the most iconic historic sites in the entire UK!
