Roman Theatre of Verulamium

Let’s get things clear. There isn’t much to see at the Roman theatre. A leisurely walk around the entire area will take less than 15 minutes.
The reason I have rated it a 4, is for its historical significance. This is the only Roman theatre of its kind in the UK. — a raised theatre rather than an amphitheatre.
Entry is around 2.5£ or free for locals. You can get a combined ticket with the museum in Verulamium Park for a bit of a discount.
While the museum, hypocaust and bits of Roman wall are in the park, the theatre remains are on private land. This property also boasts a historic house that is open to visitors on some weekends.
Would I travel all the way to St Albans just for these remains? Probably not. But if I was headed to St Albans to visit the cathedral, this is a nice pit stop on a day out.
Kids may be more interested in the sheep grazing in the fields opposite though.

Als wir uns nach der Kathedrale noch die Ruinen anschauen wollten (es gibt auch noch Mauerfragmente und ein Mosaik) sind wir erst mal über eine Stunde umhergeirrt, weil es so schlecht ausgeschildert war, die Reste der Mauern waren ziemlich enttäuschend und als wir dann ankamen, war das Theater auch schon zu und durch den hohen Zaun konnte man es auch nicht sehen und wir liefen erst mal né halbe Stunde einen Feldweg lang, bis uns irgendwann dämmerte dass das ja doch nich so weit sein konnte. Es war aber ein schöner Spaziergang, lohnt sich aber eher für einen kurzen Abstecher.

You coudn’t spend ages here, but its still worth a visit. This is an open air site, which was once the home of a roman theatre.
It is great for imagining with children what it might have been like. There are signs to tell you what is what.
After you have been here, walk across to the museum.

This is a great place to take the kids at the weekend! If you are local to St Albans then you can get in for free. They give kids a task sheet to do as they go round, which really gets them interested in the Roman history.
There are lots of interactive areas, and the old mosaics are really beautiful. Definitely worth a trip!
