Summer Holidays
🌞 Kids Go Free for Summer of Picnic and Play
All aboard for an unforgettable family day full of fun and playful discovery.
Celebrate summer the Victorian way with giant games and deckchairs, magic shows, face painting, and a new family trail where you can see, hear, and smell what life was like on the ship. You can also meet Mr Brunel himself as he shares stories and secrets from the ship’s past.
For the first time, we’re inviting everyone to bring along your own picnic to enjoy on the weather deck with views across Bristol harbourside.
Our Kids Go Free offer allows one child to enter free with each full-paying adult, making it an affordable day out for all the family. If you’re not coming with kids or have extra family members, you can still book online in advance and save 10%.*
Keep the kids entertained, explore, and make memories together!
