Families planning days out in Bath have even more reason to visit The Roman Baths after it was named one of the world’s top visitor attractions in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026, placing it in the top 1% globally and fourth in the UK.
The recognition, based on millions of traveller reviews, also ranks the Bath landmark among the top 20 attractions in Europe, reinforcing its appeal as a must-visit destination for families looking for an engaging and educational day out.
Welcoming around one million visitors each year, the historic site offers an immersive step back in time. Children and adults alike can explore the remarkably preserved 2,000-year-old bathing complex, walk beside the steaming Great Bath and discover the story of the Temple of Sulis Minerva through interactive museum displays.
The award comes as The Roman Baths prepares for a packed programme of family-friendly events this spring and summer.
May half term family fun
During May half term (23–31 May), families can take part in Mission Floralia, an interactive adventure celebrating the Roman festival of spring. Children can enjoy games, hands-on activities and even meet the goddess Flora beside the Great Bath.
Over the summer holidays, the popular Summer Lates return, with the attraction staying open into the evening. Weekend visitors can enjoy live music and DJ sets in a unique setting, offering a memorable experience for older children and parents alike.
The Roman Baths is open daily from 9am to 6pm, with extended opening until 10pm from 20 July to 31 August. Visitors are encouraged to book online in advance to save £2 per ticket.
