"At the DEVA Roman Experience, my friend and I had the best time ever! We were taken back in time to the Roman era as soon as we arrived. We watched seven shows to learn about Roman history, culture, and daily life. The Boat and Defend Deva were our two favourite shows. The immersive quality and close attention to detail made for an extremely enjoyable experience. Each element, including the architecture of the building, was carefully planned to give it a more authentic feel." - TripAdvisor

Yes, the Deva Roman Experience in Chester is wheelchair.

However, some corners may be challenging for larger groups, and the venue may only be able to accommodate 1-2 wheelchairs per group.

The Deva Roman Experience has been created to educate families, couples and friends, whilst providing an exciting and interactive show for all ages.

However, due to the nature of some special effects, some children may find this frightening. To get the most out of your experience, Deva Roman Experience recommends the attraction for ages 8+.

Unfortunately, there is no cafe onsite at the Deva Roman Experience, but the team recommend visiting the Rainbow Tea Rooms which is located around the corner on Bridge Street.

The actor-led show lasts for around 45 minutes with time to explore the authentic archaeology section 'The Dig' at your own leisure.

There is also a hands-on room full of fun activities, dress up and photo opportunities.
