Father's Day events
Family days out
Looking for fun for all the family? Explore the mind-boggling world of Merida at Wake The Tiger, or wave at the fish at Bristol Aquarium. Take a trip around the harbour with Bristol Ferry, or enjoy an afternoon tea cruise with Bristol Packet Boat Trips.
Get hands-on with exhibits or watch a planetarium show at We The Curious, meet the animals at Bristol Zoo Project, or learn about Bristol's past and present at M Shed. Hop on board the great ocean liner Brunel's SS Great Britain to see the new Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition.
The South West Attractions VIP Pass gives you money off family attractions near Bristol - book a ticket to Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and Caves, Mendip Activity Centre, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, Puxton Park or West Country Water Park to receive discount codes for the other attractions in the list!
Celebrate with food & drink
Looking for a more casual day of food and drink? Make a day of it by visiting our local breweries or sampling their wares in a pub. If your dad is more of a wine connoisseur, treat them to a wine tasting at KASK in Southville or Veeno near Temple Meads. Or head to Spirited for a cocktail or whisky flight.
Experiences
If you and your father figure are more of a do-er, you can explore the experiences on Yuup, book some stand-up paddleboarding on the Bristol Harbourside, take a hard hat tour of the vaults beneath Clifton Suspension Bridge, or team up for Disc Golf or archery at Mendip Activity Centre.
The best kind of family time is competitive family time! Challenge your family to a game of crazy golf at Wookey Hole and wander around the caves and caverns. Looking for other ways to bring out the competitive side of your loved ones? Visit one of our games or activity bars.
