@Bristol

In an effort to entertain my children in the Christmas holidays we went over to @bristol, which my parents had heard about. Overall, I would mark it as average for a tourist attraction, but it depends on who you take to see it. For more, read on... I wasn't that impressed when we arrived and found that the only place to park was in a 3rd-party car park at £1 an hour with no discount for users of the @bristol attractions. We only entered the Wildwalk exhibit. The ticket prices were average, I think around £6-7 per adult and £5 for over 3 year olds, which I thought was a bit of a con, because as it turned out, most of the exhibit is probably for ...  Read the complete review

I was excited about 'Bristol 2000' nearly 5 years ago when i first heard about the scheme and have remained a firm fan since then. The three centres are proving more successful than anyones dreams.

Live in Bristol or just visiting, then why not take a look at the @Bristol complex in the centre of Bristol by the docks. Today I took my son to the Explore @ Bristol complex and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. Most Bristolians will remember the cannons marsh area of Bristol as a rundown open space, that was used as a long stay car park with a lot of old derelict GWR train sheds, well now that has all changed with this new development that has taken a number of years to create. The Explore @ Bristol complex has taken the place of the old exploratory that use to be situated by Bristol’s main train station (Temple Meads), this new ...  Read the complete review
