Attractions in and around Weston-super-Mare

Attractions in Weston-super-Mare offer some of the best days out and things to do in the South West.

Whether you are staying in the resort and wishing to explore, or visiting us for the day, you will find plenty to keep you busy.

We have well known attractions in Weston-super-Mare, such as the Grand Pier which fronts the promenade, both great for a family day out, and both with places to grab a bite to eat and drink and enjoy various events throughout the season.

Also on the seafront you will find the popular Water Adventure Play Park, a secure adventure playground all year round, but with the addition of a splash pad between April and the end of September, allowing for hours of fun for children on a warm spring or summer day!

Kids and very big kids (by that we mean parents and grandparents) will also love Laser Quest - which is a futuristic games zone where you're armed with a laser gun and compete against other players through a maze of different rooms.

Clip 'n Climb is another fantastic indoor option for serious climbers, wannabe climbers, first timers, children and adults.

If it is the quieter side of life you enjoy, the town is scattered with many parks and gardens, including Grove Park which is home to Jill's Garden and hosts many events and free music concerts throughout the summer. Nearby you will find the Blakehay Theatre which is situated in Grove Village which is also home to the Playhouse Theatre.

Out of town a little you will find Bleadon Hill Golf Course, Court Farm Country Park, Hutton Moor Leisure Centre and Puxton Park offering everything from animals to animation to action!

And of course, there is our fantastic sandy beach, an attraction in itself offering golden sands, safe bathing water and our traditional Weston donkeys.

In our neighbouring resort of Brean you will be spoilt for full on family fun! Brean Leisure Park is a kid's paradise.

At the opposite end of the scale, the National Trust site of Brean Down offers an insight into the flora and fauna of the area, and a walk to the top allows commanding views and the discovery of Brean Down Fort.

For a truly lovely experience, be sure to visit the smallest city in the UK - Wells. With its cobbled streets, quirky shops and many cafes and restaurants you can amble away the day nicely. Wells is also home to Wells Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace and Gardens which are both world class attractions and an absolute must if you are in the area for a few days.

If you prefer a bit more action then the Mendip Activity Centre is your one-stop destination with a dry sky slope, toboggan run, climbing, caving, archery, shooting, watersports, frisbee golf and even axe throwing on offer just for starters.

Wall Eden is another family-friendly activity centre with watersports, axe throwing, archery, fishing and shooting among the attractions.

Head towards Bristol, and you will find Noah's Ark Zoo Farm which is home to a range of farm and zoo animals including elephants and bears, as well as a cafe, picnic areas and play areas. It offers a full day out and we highly recommend a visit.

In summary, whatever your age the things to do and attractions in Weston-super-Mare and in the surrounding area offer the opportunity for a a jam packed week if you like to be busy!
