There is a little acquarium on the pier. Very little. It won't keep them occupied for too long, but it's cute. If you're up for a bit of a drive, there is an petting farm in an old abbey about 1/2 drive away. Sorry - I can't remember the name of the place!

abbotsbury has a giant swannery. its really impressive especially when the signets are around.


if you dont mind travelling a little further then there is a sealife centre at Weymouth (pretty basic though)


and Monkey World in wool is an absolute must. largest collection of monkeys in the world outside Africa. also there is a tank museum there too.


West Bay is only 20 minutes away and is worth a look.


taking a stroll around Hardy's house and Hardy's monument is nice too.


we were there a couple of years ago for the second week in October and it was baking hot so we played badminton on the beach alot.

The farm at Abbotsbury is

you can buy discounted tickets if you go to the Swannery and sub tropical gardens which are also in Abbotsbury - I particualrly love the gardens.


You can go Fossil hunting at Charmouth - great beach for it a low tide on the western side.


Lovely part of the world - enjoy!

I second the recommendation for the 3 attractions at Abbotsbury - the farm is particularly fun with animals and play barns / outdoor play areas, the gardens are good for them using up excess energy and there is a feeding time at the swannery which is fun.


Apart from that, we enjoyed beach activities at Weymouth and Lyme Regis.


Also, you must visit the Hive Beach Cafe just past Bridgeport.


Have fun!

Weymouth beach is fantastic. As children my Sister and I always used to insist on going swimming (or at least paddling) whatever the weather (coldest ever was a snowy Easter day). If you don't fancy getting wet, there's the swing boats (big rope driven swings), trampolines, punch and judy, donkey rides and beautiful sand sculptures. Also, a few miles out on the road out of Weymouth there's the Cresta Run (a big bumpy slide).

Hope you have fun!

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
