The Best Family Days Out in Pembrokeshire

Plan family days out in Pembrokeshire around current provider information. Oakwood closed in March 2025; Blue Lagoon access may require a booking or eligible stay; follow wildlife-park paths and guidance.

Pembrokeshire offers family days out across beaches, castles, wildlife and indoor attractions. Opening dates, tickets and access arrangements change, so check each provider before travelling.

Attractions to check

Oakwood Theme Park closed in March 2025 and is no longer an operating family attraction.

Bluestone’s Blue Lagoon access is not generally available as a drop-in swimming pool. It may depend on being a Bluestone guest, an event, a booking or the provider’s current rules. Check Bluestone’s current information before recommending a visit.

Manor Wildlife Park provides animal viewing and walk-through areas. Visitors use designated paths and enclosures, following barriers, keeper guidance and ticket conditions. See the current park site for opening times and visitor information.

Beaches and outdoor days

Rock-pooling and beach walks can be excellent family activities, but check tides, weather, access, lifeguard cover and seasonal restrictions. Swimming suitability varies by beach, tide, weather and season; check local signage and current lifeguard advice.

Rainy-day planning

Choose a museum, booked activity or attraction that is open on your date. Confirm age limits, pre-booking, parking and accessibility. Keep a back-up plan because opening dates and access vary by venue.

Attraction arrangements change, so current provider information is the best source before travelling. Looking for holiday cottages on the Cardigan Bay coast? Explore Glaneirw Estate.
