5 Best Activities In Brixham
Ask a child what they remember about a seaside town and it is rarely the museum. Brixham is the exception, because The Golden Hind at Brixham is a ship you can climb aboard. The town holds five entries and the split is three and three, sheltered against open — an even balance, which happens less often along this coast than you would hope.

Five is a short list. They are five different kinds of thing, though, rather than five versions of one, and a morning on the headland followed by an afternoon under cover is the obvious shape for the day.
Visiting Brixham with kids: FAQs
What can we do in Brixham on a wet day?
Three places offer shelter. Brixham Heritage Museum is the small quiet option. The Golden Hind at Brixham has covered and open parts, so it partly shrugs off a shower. Wizz Kidz takes care of play for the younger end. That adds up to a workable wet day for under-tens, although older children will get through the lot rather faster than you would ideally like them to.
Is Brixham good for outdoor days with children?
Berry Head National Nature Reserve is the best rated place in the town and the strongest open-air choice: headland, paths, and enough room for children to run themselves properly tired. Battlefield LIVE Torbay is the other option in the open air, an organised game rather than somewhere to wander. One calm day and one active one is decent range from so few options.
Which Brixham attraction works for a mixed-age group?
The Golden Hind at Brixham is where most families compromise. A small child can be impressed by a ship without following any of the history; an older one can stop and read the boards properly. Berry Head National Nature Reserve is the alternative, since open ground lets a six-year-old and a thirteen-year-old occupy themselves in completely separate ways without anyone organising it.
