Roman Chester comes alive at Deva Roman Experience in Cheshire. Walk Roman baths and market street, then watch gladiators with projections.
“I thought it was great. Started prompt and the actors/characters really made the visit and they differentiated the stories for the guests and kept everyone's attention. It was a perfect place for my three young children and they loved the boat and the gladiator 'fight' scene. I enjoyed the interactive museum/dig displays at the end.”
A self-guided Chester walking quest with escape-room style puzzles in Roman streets, Chester Walls, Grosvenor Park, and the River Dee.
“Clearly well researched activity but way too long and too detailed. Some questions were incredibly hard to even understand how to solve, plus if you do digital then do it all the way. Puzzles and crosswords that requires pen and paper while walking are ridiculous. We ended up skipping a lot of questions.”
