Bournemouth Pier is a great spot for fun for those of all ages. There are several food outlets, an amazing and varied attraction offering and even boat trips. You can't miss people in drives enjoying the zip wire activities too.

My boys who are 4 and 2, absolutely loved it here and it is so great we got to spend most of the day there coming and going through the day too. We're able to watch the Penguins and sharks get fed, which the children found hilarious. They loved everything in there really, especially the clown fish, crocodiles and sea turtles, even the play area, which I probably enjoyed more as I didn't have to run about after them and got to sit for a bit lolol. But really it was great watching them learn, take in what was being said and have fun with it too. Definitely going back again for sure. Staff were fantastic, keepers were engaging and told us funny things about the ones they looked after. Can see genuine love n care for all the sealife they have there which is wonderful. Can't wait to to come again soon x.
