Great place to visit. Buy a Saver Ticket for the museum and Vindolanda and you will not be disappointed. It is an amazing place to visit for all ages. The two are a short drive away from each over but well worth it. The 3D interactive short film is well presented and informative. Don’t miss this museum if you are in this are. Staff are friendly and there’s a very small comfortable cafe on site offering a selection of drinks and snacks.

This place was a good start to our learning about the romans! The interactive screen show was good and the museum was great to look around. The lady in reception was the nicest person and was so very helpful when sorting out our tickets. A real credit to a very lovely museum.

Lots to see and good explanations about what you were looking at. They show an interesting film with a relatable story about what life was like for the Roman soldiers. However, I'm not so sure about being referred to as a 'Barbarian' just because I come from north of the wall, ouch. The cafe food was nice but them Romans need to conquer somewhere with better coffee.

Truly amazing Museum and so unexpected in its size, quality and layout. It was well worth more than one hour and so much more to take in. This is more about the museum as more imagination is needed for the unexcavated fort area but a fantastic start to discover the Hadrian Wall area. Great value on the joint ticket with Vindalanda. cafe great as well.

This site is owned by the same Trust as Vindolanda and a multi site ticket is available. It is well worth doing both sites. The Roman Army Museum explains life on the frontier of the Roman Empire. It explains Roman life at the time and also the importance of the frontier. It is a very visual experience and allows you to orientate yourself and prepare yourself for visiting the many archeological sites along Hadrians Wall.

Very interesting, well worth visiting took some effort to find as signage off the main road not good. Coffee shop reasonable price but not a lot of choices. We only visited everything indoors because the weather wasn’t good.

Just back from a day at the wall and started off here as many years since I visited. So interesting, the three films I watched including Edge of Empire were brilliant, the actors, costumes and photography totally immersed me. The reconstructions of the roman catapults were works of art, tho apparently I wasn't strong enough to make a decent archer. Nice cafe too and very helpful and pleasant gent on admissions. Really is something for everyone, three hours just flew by. Get a saver ticket doubled up with Vindolanda for a full day's experience.

A really great little museum for anyone who has an interest in the Roman army and Emperor Hadrian. The staff are top form and really seem as if they care. Whilst the museum is small, there is plenty packed in there, with the video being amazing and worth the visit alone.

Lovely museum. Visited with 2 adults, a 5yr old and 1 year old. Staff were fantastic, very welcoming, very interactive and fab with the kids. 5 year old got stuck into the quest sheet provided at the start, having to tick objects he found off the list and also enjoyed writing his name in roman letters. Also enjoyed the cinema room. Cafe was modern with lovely sandwiches. We bought a ticket which also included access to the VINDOLANDA roman museum down the road. So enjoyed 2 experiences in one day at a discounted price. Thanks again for a lovely welcoming trip.

Arrived close to opening time via the AD122 bus from Hexham. The staff are all lovely, chatty and helpful. This was the highlight of my four days along Hadrians Wall. The displays are inspired and the videos very professional. Combined site this with Vindolanda. The cafe was very pleasant the the refreshments well presented. Highly recommended
