Search Agent: A unexpected little gem just 2 minutes from the Castle. Lots to learn for young children. Free to enter. Not too busy Saturday afternoon.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Naina Ghosh: I was there for about 35 mins on a Sunday without the kids and I think I saw everything because it's very small and everything is located on one floor. I learnt a lot about the local geology - so interesting! It's a good sized museum for children they won't get tired or overwhelmed. Lots of things for kids to play with. Yes, the exhibits are looking a little tired and hopefully they will be updated in future. Till then, we can support the museum through gift shop purchases. This is how local children will get interested in identifying fossils in local areas. Now I want to take the kids to the places mentioned in the museum to find their own fossils!

Roman Theatre: what do users think?

Anith John: Once a Roman Theatre, the current site only has a very small part or remains of the ancient Roman theatre which originally seated over 3000 people. There is also a small garden besides this site, which depicts a typical Roman garden.

James Pudney: Great little place

S.D. K: Super

Scunk Lord: Very good, lots of nice old stuff. I don’t understand the roman theme though 🤔

Christian Langlois: Small but significant, an excavation under the floor of a 19th c 2 up 2 down terrace house reveals an ancient theatre foundations, set into the hill, which prominent s the landscape.

paul perkins: Wonderful to actually see a bit of history uncovered in colchester not built in with new houses

Jill Mawby: Worth a visit just a short walk from town. You wouldn't know it was there so worth the walk.

Alison Tupper: Its brilliant for children. I used to take my daughter in there. And she loved it. There are puzzles to do. It's only a small museum but good to pop into.

Dumitru Butura: Pretty good place.
