Family Fun

The best way for families to get an overview of what the harbourside has to offer is to get into a boat and explore from the water. Both the Bristol Ferry Boat Company and the Bristol Packet offer tours, some with commentary, which are a great way to orient yourself and travel from A to B.

You could start at Brunel's ss Great Britain and spend the morning marvelling at the sheer size and scale of Brunel's masterpiece of engineering, now berthed forever in the dry dock she was built in. Audio companios are avilable to guide you around the ship - popular with children is a tour with Sinbad the ship's cat!

From Brunel's ss Great Britain, your group could take a ferry to Explore-At-Bristol. Services are frequent. Explore-At-Bristol is a 21st-century science centre with hands-on activities and the latest multi-media techniques.

Alternatively, arrange a group trip to Bristol Zoo Gardens in Clifton. Bristol Zoo Gardens is home to over 450 species of exotic and endangered animals from all over the world, housed in stunning naturalistic enclosures.
