Absolutely loved our tour on Wednesday- the highlight of our Suffolk holiday 🙂 Our guide Neill is a real asset to the team there and was engaging and knowledgable throughout.

What a fantastic little place, we decided to show our children where power was generated and show them something new (as seeing wind and solar farms was getting a little boring according to my eldest) I was a little worried that we were going the wrong way and was expecting to end up with security chasing me off the site but that’s what makes every day different so, when we arrived it was very quiet so we got out of the car to check and they were open, so we then entered into the visitors centre and after 60 mins of activities with our two and talking with the staff as well as asking our own question the kids wanted to stay the night there with toilets just in the back and a classroom next to the visitors area we can see that group visits could be accommodated. Thank you to the staff for being accommodating and filling our kids heads with cool facts and telling us how the fishes were being looked after (27th Sep 2018).

A really well organised and revealing tour of the Sizewell B site, our knowledgeable and charismatic guide Hugh explained about the operation of the plant and even let us place our hands on one of the turbines. I learnt so much about how these fantastic resources are run safely, I would encourage anyone who has even a passing interest in engineering or science to go along and find out why we should be building more nuclear power plants in the UK. The tour is suitable for adults and children and takes around three hours with one hour classroom and two hours walking.

A wonderful experience with our wonderful guide Hugh. It was a fascinating few hours from the classroom to the actual tour. Hugh explained everything so it was easy to digest and understand. Sizewell is an incredible source. Thanks also to Debbie for the additional information and a nice coffee at the end. Today it was just my wife and I on the tour, which was lucky, highly recommend doing it!

Favourite bits.. Generator room (Boris has a famous picture of him touching the outer turbine) you can touch it to 😂. The bit where they filter out the fish,and also where you overlook the coast and the inlet/outlet waters pumps; from there you can see where Sizewell C will be built.

Thanks James & Anca

I recently had the pleasure of taking the Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station tour, and it was an absolutely fascinating experience. Our guide, Hugh, was nothing short of amazing. His deep knowledge and passion for nuclear energy truly brought the tour to life. Hugh's ability to explain complex scientific concepts in an engaging and understandable way made the tour not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable.

Spanning about two hours, the tour provided an in-depth look into the workings of a nuclear power station. From the intricate details of reactor operations to the extensive safety measures in place, every aspect of the tour was meticulously covered. Hugh's insights into the history and future of nuclear energy were particularly enlightening and added a personal touch to the experience.

I highly recommend the Sizewell B tour to anyone with even a small interest in science and engineering. It's a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of a nuclear power station and to gain a greater appreciation for the technology that powers a significant portion of our world. Don't miss it!

There was a warm welcome at the visitors centre, and we were shown through to the exhibits which were very interesting, and there were fun activities for children as well as some ppe to dress up in. The presentation was incredibly informative and explained all about sizewell B as well as how everything been and what's planned for the future. Our host answered dozens of questions from visitors and was very thorough.
You can also go on a tour of the power station, this must be precooked and is for ages 15+ only.
