Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Clive BWeymouth, UK155 contributionsThoroughly entertaining evening at this quant bar/theatre just round the corner from the Bristol Hippodrome. Actually it would be a good place to pop in for a pre theatre drink.
-
Above us, candles appear to float in mid air beneath a ceiling peppered with playing cards.
-
Our sell out magic evening kicked off in the bar with some close up magic. Can't say much without spoiling it for others but the masterly combination of misdirection and sleight of hand produced some wonderful surprises, which kept us talking all the way home.
-
We were then led into the small (60 seat) theatre where two more magicians wowed the audience with sharp banter, hilarious trickery and a lot of audience participation.
-
We had pre-booked pizzas for the interval, several very tasty options to chose from and GF bases available. Bear in mind they are only 9 inch pizzas. Best to eat earlier but save some room for the pizza.
-
Our whole weekend in Bristol was planned around a visit to Smoke & Mirrors. We were not disappointed.

You get excellent views of the city , of hill climbing Georgian terraces , historic ships and industrial architecture , most of which is now rehabilitated. It’s good value , and you can jump on in the city centre at the bottom of Park St , at Cascade Steps outside No 1 Harbourside . It’s worth doing the full round trip if time permits . The Ferry is run as a social enterprise , well worth supportingWritten 21 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Manfred BTelford, UK322 contributionsWe walked through Brandon Hill Park to Cabot Tower during the morning hours as some of the walk includes steep inclines. One can either go up steps to the Entrance of the Tower or go along a Footpath which is easier.
There are a little more than 100 steps to get to the top of Cabot Tower, but below the
very top there are small balconies on each side of the tower from where one can
enjoy splendid panoramic Views across Bristol and surrounding Countryside.
The walk through Brandon Hill Park is very interesting as there are numerous plants and trees to be admired, with a few small ponds breaking up the landscape.

From Temple meads station, the No.8 bus drops you off at the Museum Door.
Free entry, the museum easily passed a few hours. Lots to see, from Dinosaurs, Crystals, mummy's and modern art, Something for everybody to see. Nice gift shop and coffee shop to sit and watch the world go by.

- Manfred BTelford, UK322 contributionsWe visited St. Mary Redcliffe Church during our holiday in Bristol and were struck by the beautiful Gothic Architecture, the many large stained glass windows, the decorative vaulted roof, etc.

The Museum has many interesting Exhibits/Displays located on two floors which provide plenty of information for the Visitor.
The Top Floor incorporates a Roof Terrace which offers splendid Views across Bristol Harbourside, not to be missed!
On the Ground Floor is a small Cafe with friendly and helpful staff, providing indoor seating for refreshments.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, my 4 year old son and I noticed there was an activity on outside the museum. For completely free of charge my son spent 90 minutes building objects out of straws and connectors. The staff were all so engaging, kind and enthusiastic. Based on this lovely experience which I would like to say a big thank you for, we can't wait to visit when the museum re opens😃.Written 7 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phil C7 contributionsWe did the 13.30 Saturday Group Tour which was led by Alex. She was an excellent & very knowledgeable guide. We had a very informative & interesting 90 mins walk around various parts of the Cemetery. We had never been before but will return for a casual stroll. We took our dog along & finished the afternoon with cake & tea in their cafe.Written 25 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
