Rainy Days Out in Bristol

Bristol is a great place to visit whatever the weather, but we know it can be a blow when rain arrives while you're on holiday. If there's one thing the UK is famous for, it's unpredictable weather, so grab your brolly and don't fret, because Bristol is packed full of fabulous wet-weather activities and attractions to keep everyone busy when the skies turn grey.

There are cosy museums and attractions, such as M Shed, We The Curious, Bristol Aquarium and Aerospace Bristol. Brunel's SS Great Britain is also mostly indoors - unless you want to brave the weather on the top deck!

Wake the Tiger is a mind-blowing immersive maze of secret passageways, hidden forests, temples, ice caves and more!

Take a stroll around one of the latest exhibitions at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, RWA, Spike Island or Arnolfini until the rain passes.

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare also has plenty of indoor options, including go-karting, arcade games and popular rides including dodgems and a House of Horrors!

Escape the rain in the impressive cave chambers at Wookey Hole, where you can also explore the hall of mirrors, play in the penny arcade, or watch a film in the 4D cinema. There's also a soft play area for little ones.

Get competitive with indoor sports from axe throwing at Whistle Punks, electro darts at Mulligans Bristol, or bowling and batting at Roxy Lanes. Jump around in soft play and trampoline centres including AirHop, or have a go at some virtual reality gaming at MeetspaceVR.

Bristol also has plenty of historic churches, cinemas, theatres, shopping centres and markets for you to explore.

Still undecided what to do? Take a look at our Events Calendar to see what's on while you're visiting.

Below are just some of our top ways to while away a rainy day, without worrying about the weather...
