Poole Attractions

Poole is a lively, welcoming destination where maritime heritage meets family fun, making it an ideal spot for visitors of all ages. The town’s harbour, historic streets and coastal charm set the scene, while modern attractions give you plenty of ways to enjoy your time here.

A big draw is the newly transformed Poole Museum after a £10 million redevelopment, it reopened in late 2025, doubling its public space and unveiling new maritime galleries with interactive displays, exhibitions and the impressive 2,000‑year‑old Poole Iron Age logboat.

Tower Park offers a range of entertainment, notably Splashdown Waterpark. Splashdown combines thrills with splashy fun - with water slides, splash zones, and sessions for all ages, it’s a top pick for a rainy day or a summer splash. While Lemur Landings is perfect for younger children to climb, explore, and burn off energy in a safe indoor environment.

If you’re travelling with younger children or want a more relaxed day out, Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park is another fantastic option. With animal encounters, outdoor play areas and family‑friendly facilities, it’s a great way to enjoy countryside charm without travelling far. 

Whether you love history, the coast, splashy water fun or relaxed countryside time, Poole offers a mix that really caters to everyone’s tastes.
