A gem on the South Coast of England, Bournemouth is a wonderful family destination with everything you need to spend a weekend or enjoy a day out. Situated in a sheltered bay in the idyllic county of Dorset, the town boasts seven miles of sandy beaches and great weather that makes swimming possible for many months of the year.
And if the weather isn’t playing fair, there are plenty of indoor activities to enjoy together too. Here are just a few things the town has to offer for you and the little ones.
Sight Seeing Bournemouth Hop on Hop off Tour

With 18 stops on the schedule, soak in the sights of Poole Quay and Boscombe Pier, which boasts Europe’s first official surf reef. If you’re a family of water babies, hop off and add a boat trip to your day out!
Laser Quest
Nothing beats rainy day blues like an adrenaline-fuelled game of laser quest. The no-contact game is lighting up the Old Superbowl right in the center of town, so it’s super easy to reach by train or public transport.
Laser Quest is making the sport even more exciting with an immersive, multi-level venue that includes hyperreal audio and visual effects that make you forget the world outside and focus on the task at hand. All the equipment is lightweight and easy to use; so easy, in fact, that they’re suitable for 5-year-olds. Split into teams, parents vs. kids, and see who comes out victorious!
Mr. Mulligan’s
Mr. Mulligan is taking crazy golf to a whole new crazy level. They’re going bigger and better with three state-of-the-art crazy golf courses that are suitable for all ages and abilities. As the course gets progressively harder, get your thinking golf caps on and formulate creative ways to get that coveted hole-in-one. The greater the difficulty, the sweeter the victory!
Bournemouth Pier
For a much-needed nature fix, head to Bournemouth Pier and spend a day frolicking in the sunshine, the sea breeze in your hair, and the sand between your toes. Make the most of it and hire a beach hut for the day and enjoy the beach with added comfort.
As the day ends, make your way over to the pier to take in the attractions, get some food, and round off your day with a sunset over the ocean.
