Unsure of how to keep the kids entertained during Easter break? Taking them to see some animals is a guaranteed way of putting a smile on their faces - and maybe yours.
Luckily, Bristol is home to several city farms, most of which you can enter free of charge. Here children can pet plenty of animals such as sheep, pigs, goats and more as well as take part in gardening and cooking activities. There are also some larger wildlife parks in the city and on its outskirts which are home to larger animals such as lions, elephants and giraffes.
