Things to do with kids in Bristol

The city of Bristol, in the South West of England, is a brilliant place to explore with kids.

The historic port was the home of the Victorian engineer Brunel, who provided Bristol with two of its best-known landmarks: Clifton suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain – a must-see if you’re looking for things to do with kids in Bristol.

The city is famous for its art and culture, particularly its Banksy murals, and its annual hot air balloon festival: a fantastic family day out.

There’s no shortage of places to take the children: wannabe pilots can check out the planes at Aerospace Bristol and animal lovers can explore Bristol Zoo, while the science museum, We The Curious, is chock full of hands-on exhibits. There are plenty of baby activities to choose from, ranging from baby yoga to tots' soccer, and we've also rounded up ideas for brilliant children's birthday parties.

The area also has lots of opportunities to embrace the great outdoors, including Berkeley Castle and the Bristol Downs. The South-West is renowned as a hotspot for car boot sales, too, so if you've got stuff to sell or love a bargain, search our guide to see what's on.
