Bristol with Kids: The Best Family Itinerary
Bristol is an easy city with children: a ship you can climb into, a harbour with a little ferry, treasure hunts through the Old City and street art that turns a walk into a game. Here is the family plan, with the tours that suit it.

Start with the ship
The SS Great Britain lets children walk under the hull and through the crew quarters — the single best hour in the city for under-twelves.
Make the walk a game
Self-guided treasure hunts and scavenger trails cover the Old City for about £15 a group and keep everyone moving.
Ferry and street art
The harbour ferry hops between the museums, and spotting Banksys turns the harbourside walk into something children volunteer for.
