Things to do in Bath this Summer with Kids

Hello Summer, hello Bath. Yep, there’s plenty to keep the younger members of your family entertained whilst in the city.

Here our top picks of Things to do in Bath this Summer with Kids:

1. Play

Head to Royal Victoria Park which is a large play park with different areas suitable for different ages. There is a café, toilets with a great sight of a large area. The lay park sits within a larger greener space perfect for picnics, snoozing or leg stretching.

2. Pedal

Another local park is Alice Park which is flat and has its own cycle path suitable for those learning to ride. For older riders, the canal path is an off-road route that takes you out of town. Whilst it is next to water the paths are generally wide with cafés on rote for thirsty or hungry cyclists.

3. Dress-Up

The Fashion Museum in the basement of the Assembly Rooms and is a fascinating collection of historical costume pieces that some come right up to date. Fashionistas will love the Dress of the Year collection and there are sheets ready-printed encouraging your fashion finders to spot and identify parts of the costumes. There are Victorian costumes to dress-up in with scenes painted for some excellent images too.

4. Watch

Bath’s has its very own children’s designated theatre, the Egg, which is part of the Theatre Royal. And it comes highly recommended by the TGT team. Check listings at The Little Theatre Cinema to who hold great kid’s clubs at their wonderful family-run theatre. Komedia, once a cinema and now a venue have plenty to offer the smaller members of your family. Check out their listings here.

5. Pet

A short bus ride from the centre is Bath City Farm a free to visit initiative, although they survive on charitable donations which are encouraged. You can follow their nature trail through 37 acres of their farmland, stop at the café and of course meet their friendly animals. They also hold classes, workshops, and events, so keep an eye out for those too. You can even shop at their farm shop.

6. Putt

Play Crazy Golf in Royal Victoria Park. It’s long been a favourite of locals and visitors alike. The course is a short walk from the centre, which is hard enough for those who want to test themselves and fun enough to keep the little ones entertained.

7. Jump

You can also jump in the new look swimming pool too with a kids small pool, a learners pool and a larger pool with laned swimming (at times).

8. Kick
