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 fishes at Bristol Aquarium. 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 onboard the great ocean liner - Brunel's SS Great Britain.

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 paddle boarding on the Bristol Harbourside, take a hard hat tour of the vaults undeneath Clifton Suspension Bridge, or team up for Disc Golf or archery at Mendip Activty 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 and make the most of their Father's Day offer. Looking for other ways to bring out the competitive side of your loved ones? Visit one of our games or activity bars.
