Family Fun

With miles of safe, sandy beaches, traditional seaside attractions, a town centre that’s within easy walking distance of the seafront and a whole bunch of festivals and events throughout the year, Bournemouth is the ultimate family destination. With excellent train, bus and road networks, as well as heaps of accommodation to choose from, getting here is easy. So, the only thing you have to worry about is whether you’ll have time to see and do it all!

We’ve got everything you’d expect from a classic British seaside break, from funfair rides to pier amusements so you can while away the sunny days down on the beachfront. And, of course, you can always simply find a spot on the beach and spend the day building sandcastles and paddling in the sea. We even run a very successful beach safety scheme – find out about LV=KidZone while you’re here.

If you’re holidaying with little people in tow, you’ll find plenty of things to keep tiny tots amused.

From soft play centres and indoor adventures to model villages and steam railways, you can keep smiles on their faces come rain or shine. For older children and history buffs in the family, there are museums, art galleries and sightseeing tours in and around the resort so you can have fun on a day out together as well as learning more about the area’s exciting past.

As night falls, we’ve got family friendly entertainment across the town, including West End shows and pantomimes in the Pavilion Theatre. If you’re here during one of our famous festivals or live music events, you can even catch music acts on outdoor stages overlooking the sea.

So, whether you’re visiting a few miles from home or on a long summer vacation, you and your family can make lasting memories by the sea here in Bournemouth!
