There seems to be festivals on every weekend and so much to see and do for families - I definitely think Bristol will be on our itinerary this Summer! Groupon is a site I always check out before going anywhere and I was pleased to see that they have lots of exciting things to do in Bristol - https://www.groupon.co.uk/vouchers/bristol/things-to-do . The Summer holidays can get a bit expensive with children so Groupon is a great way of saving money on days out - it's also a fab place to get inspiration for new places to visit!
With this in mind, here are just a selection of some of the fantastic places you can visit in Bristol - with a little help from some fellow bloggers!
WE ARE THE CURIOUS (Formerly @Bristol)
This fantastic science centre is located in the heart of Millenium Square and is a must for anyone visiting Bristol. A state of the art visitors attraction, it features over 300 exhibits including an exclusive Aardman exhibition where you can become an animator.
It even has it's own planetarium which is housed in the amazing giant mirror ball. In her review, Lucy from Momma Mack talks about the space explorers show her family saw at the planetarium when they visited on a wet and soggy bank holiday Monday!
Bristol Aquarium
Chantele at Two Hearts One Roof visited the Aquarium with her family and it sounds like a brilliant place to visit with small children. I love the sound of the talks throughout the day - it's always interesting to learn about the creatures you are seeing on display!Photo credit - Chantele Cross-Jones |
Bristol Zoo Gardens
Bristol Zoo Gardens is the 5th oldest zoo in the world , and home to over 50 types of mammals and a brand new Goodfellows tree kangaroos enclosure. Sara- Jayne from Keeping Up With the Jones Family visited on a particularly wet day and it sounds like they had a brilliant day despite the weather!

Brunel's SS Great Britain
I didn't know too much about this attraction before writing this post but turns out it's one of the top places to visit in Bristol! Once the longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 - 1854, she now resides in Bristol Harbour and is a museum.

M Shed
Days out don't always have to be expensive - there are lots of free events and attractions that won't cost you a penny!
Situated on the historic Harbourside, M Shed is a free musuem which tells the story of the city and it's unique place in the world. There are three galleries to explore; Places, People and Life. There are also working exhibits which are some of the largest in the museum - or outside in some cases!
