The family days out in Bristol where parents say they've felt the safest

Family days out have changed a lot since lockdown, with almost every venue enforcing new rules.

While some attractions have introduced measures which leave parents feeling comfortable, others have been less successful.

That's why we've been asking families in Bristol to share their recommendations for places they've felt safest.

The attraction was praised for its cleanliness and safety measures.

All of the venue's indoor play areas remain closed, and timed entry has been introduced to reduce the risk of crowds at the ticket office.

Cadbury world

Recommended for being highly 'organised and feeling safe', parents said this Birmingham attraction was a great day out.

Enhanced cleaning regimes are in place, as well as reduced capacity and social distancing measures.

Weston-super-Mare's beach

Parents have to be careful when heading to this location, pick the wrong time and you could be faced with huge crowds.

But one parent recommended between 6pm to 9pm, when the beautiful stretch of coast is a lot quieter and youngsters can still enjoy a paddle.

Safety is at the heart of every new rule this venue has introduced.

From half hourly arrival slots, to a strict one-way system, restricted sitting area and play spaces remaining closed.

There is also lots of hand sanitizers dotted around the attraction.

Parents say this spot has 'loads of space', which left them feeling extremely safe during their visit.

One-way systems are in place throughout the gardens, and visitors have to pre-book.

The main house remains closed but the woodland play trail has now been re-opened. Parents have been warned they can use the area at 'their own risk'.

This hidden gem remains 'quiet' according to parents who have visited the spot.

'Hand sanitizers are everywhere' and organisers have introduced a one-way system.

One parent said: "There's a lot to see there, a room full of motorcycles and you can walk inside a windmill.

"It's only open Tuesdays and Saturdays at the moment, but it's free entry."

Based near Chippenham, the venue offers visitors the chance to enjoy a picnic while meeting a herd of friendly alpacas.

Everything is outdoors, and there is limited spaces each day to reduce the risk of crowds.
