7 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Pembrokeshire/ Sir Benfro (Updated 2025)
Ahoy there money-savvy adventurers.
If you're looking to for a fun and free day out, then check out these things to do with the kids in Pembrokeshire/ Sir Benfro. Whether it's soaking up some sun at Barafundle Beach, or following family trails at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, there's options here to suit all ages, whatever the weather.
I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc).
Happy adventuring!

A beach that feels like it's been transported straght from the Caribbean. Golden sands, and crystal waters. It's only accessible via a half a mile walk from the carpark. There are no facilities on the beach, so make sure you take everything with you.
A beautiful sandy beach, with seasonal lifeguards. While you're in the town, you can also explore the ruins of Tenby Castle, walk or swim to St. Catherine's Island (entry fee applies), visit Tenby Museum (entry fee for adults, kids are free), and spot the lifeboat station.
A tiny hermit's chapel built into the cliff. There are narrow steps to get to it. The road to get there runs through MOD land, and so is sometimes closed. Check via the details on the website before you travel. While you're there, check out the nearby Broadhaven beach, and the Lily Ponds.
A neolithic burial chamber, dating back for over 5,000 years. It's built from the same Pebrokeshire blue stones that Stonehenge is from.
A gallery and visitor centre, hosting changing exhibitions from national connections with a connection to the landscape. Check what's on for family focussed events.
The ruins of some medieval bishops country retreat. There's lots of space for exploring and burning off energy. There isn't a lot of information boards, so if that's your thing then you can read some more history about it here.
A nature reserve home to animals including otters, kingfishers, and wading birds. Theres a 'learning through play' area indoors with colouring, drawing, quizzes and other activities. Outdoors there are 4 themed nature trails, an adventure playground, picnic areas and cycle hire. Check out the website to see the activities programme.
