For Families

If you're visiting with your family, we have plenty of activity ideas for you to do before your visit, at the bridge or once you've returned home.

If you’re planning ahead for a visit with family, why not purchase one of our Children’s Trails. The trail is packed with fun activities to do with the bridge, Brunel and Bristol. It comes with crayons, stickers and a tear-out postcard. For more ideas for your visit, visit our What Can You See And Do page.

Adventurous families with children aged seven or over can book tickets for our brand new Vaults Visit – an underground adventure available between Easter and October that takes you down inside Brunel’s bridge! Explore two of the twelve vaulted chambers with our sensory map.

Book now!

 

If you have been to the bridge and want to continue the fun at home, please visit our Youtube channel.

We are members of the Children’s University, so don’t forget to bring your passport to get stamped when you visit. We also support the Max Card, making great attractions across the UK more accessible to children, their friends and family.
