8 Best Activities In Burnham-on-Sea
Sand first. Burnham Beach and Berrow Beach are why most families come, and between them they cover the flat, walk-forever kind of coast that suits small children. Take more layers than you think you need.
Inland the list turns to rides and animals. Brean Theme Park is the loud option. Animal Farm Adventure Park is the one with animals in it. Brean Splash gets everybody wet on purpose. Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park is the gentler outdoor choice, with space to walk and less to queue for. When the tide and the weather both go against you, Brean Play and Warren Farm Holiday Centre are what you fall back on.

Seven of the eight listed places are outdoor, so this stretch of coast rewards a good forecast and punishes a bad one. If the week looks wet, build the day around Brean Play and treat the sand as a bonus.
Visiting Burnham-on-Sea with kids: FAQs
Which beaches are listed here?
Burnham Beach and Berrow Beach are the two on this list, each an outdoor entry, which sounds obvious until you are standing on one in a crosswind. They are the anchor of most family visits to this stretch, so check tide and weather before committing your whole day to them.
What is there to do besides the beach?
Brean Theme Park is the biggest draw away from the sand, and Animal Farm Adventure Park is the alternative for families who would rather meet something than queue for something. Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park sits between the two in pace, with room to walk and nothing demanding your attention.
Is there anywhere indoors?
The indoor side of this list is thin, so it is worth knowing in advance. Brean Play is the main one and the sensible wet-weather plan with younger children. Warren Farm Holiday Centre and Brean Splash are both recorded as working indoors as well as out, which gives you a little more room to manoeuvre.
Will this suit a toddler?
It will, provided you keep the day short and the expectations low. The beaches are flat and open, which is ideal at that age, and Brean Play gives you somewhere contained when the wind gets tiresome. Animal Farm Adventure Park is the other option that generally works for very small children.
