One of our favourite places to visit is Tenby. It’s the prettiest historic fishing village that you just have to visit. Take a look at our top 5 family days out in Tenby.

Settled within the beautiful region of Pembrokeshire, we love to head here for long summer seaside days. Don’t let winter put you off though! It’s also perfect if you want to dodge the hustle and bustle of summer queues, take in the peace, and enjoy brisk Winter walks. From historic castles, sandy beaches and a bucket load of tasty restaurants, too. Honestly, you’ll be spoilt for choice when looking for the best things to do in Tenby during your trip.

Here’s our choice of five great family days out in Tenby.

1. Saundersfoot Beach

There is a tonne of beaches to choose from along the bay, but one of our absolute favourites is Saundersfoot Beach. A charming beach that is nestled next to the buzzing harbour. This sandy beach is well-sheltered and generally ideal for families to explore. There are cafes and restaurants nearby, so a hot drink will be your after walk reward! Cosy up and take in the views.

If you’re planning to visit, check out the tide times to make sure you have plenty of beach to play on and that you don’t get cut off by the incoming tide!

2. Dinosaur Park Tenby

Dinosaurs have escaped! They’re roaming the woodland at The Dinosaur Park Tenby. Trapped in time, you can get up close and personal with prehistoric predators. There are hands on activities galore available here. Follow the nature trail and show off your expert dino skills by completing the quiz.

How much excitement can you handle in one day? Because if you think that being chased by Dinosaurs in the Dinosaur trail wasn’t scary enough then the only thing that will get your adrenalin pumping again is the rides on offer here! Whether you’re young or old or somewhere in-between, there is one for you.

3. Manor Wildlife Park

For the animal lovers who fancy meeting some exotic animals. Manor Wildlife Park is a great place to do just that! Snuggled into the beautiful Welsh countryside, with tonnes of endangered animals, we were amazed to see Sumatran tigers roaming around.

Cuddle up to Giant rabbits in their central courtyard where you can walk in amongst them. Watch them hop around, snack on carrots and take snoozes under their front porches. Wander through the lemur walk through and let them soar and swing above you. See the young Wallaby Joey’s and watch them hop in and out of their mothers’ pouches. It’s lovely to meet such friendly and relaxed animals enjoying human contact.

Worth a visit if you’re wanting a hands-on experience. For more information visit their website; https://www.manorwildlifepark.co.uk/

4. Tenby Museum and Art Gallery

There is no shortage of activities available at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery, dress up as intrepid explorers, handle re created mammoth teeth, try a quiz on pirates, or hunt for dinosaurs! This museum is a great addition to your family day out in Tenby.
