Half Term at Bournemouth Pier: RockReef, PierZip & Family-Friendly Food Offers

If you’re planning days out this February half term and want something that works for the whole family, Bournemouth Pier is a great place to start.

From indoor climbing and high-energy activities to adrenaline-fuelled ziplining and relaxed food and drink offers, the pier brings everything together in one easy-to-manage location.

Running from Saturday 14th to Sunday 22nd February, it’s an ideal choice for families looking to balance fun, fresh air and a bit of downtime.

Indoor Climbing and Activities at RockReef

At the heart of Bournemouth Pier is RockReef, an all-weather indoor climbing and activity centre that’s open daily throughout half term.

RockReef offers:

• 28 colourful climbing walls designed for different ages and abilities
• Fun, confidence-building challenges suitable for children and teens
• A safe, supervised environment that parents can feel comfortable with

Being indoors, it’s a reliable option whatever the weather, and a great way for children to burn off energy while staying active during the school break.

PierZip Returns for Half Term 2026

For families with older children or anyone looking for something a little more thrilling, PierZip is back for 2026, reopening on 14th February.

As the world’s first pier-to-shore zipline, PierZip sends riders 250 metres over the waves, offering unforgettable views across Bournemouth Beach as they glide from the pier down to the shore.

Riders can:

• Race friends side-by-side
• Take on family members
• Or enjoy the experience solo

It’s a standout attraction and one that makes a visit to Bournemouth Pier feel extra special during half term.

Food and Drink Offers at Key West

One of the advantages of spending time on Bournemouth Pier is that you don’t need to rush off once the activities are done.

At Key West, families can sit back, refuel and enjoy some well-timed food and drink offers alongside half term.

Current offers include:

• Half-price fish and chips every Friday, available all day
• 2-for-1 cocktails every day, giving parents a chance to unwind

Whether you’re stopping for lunch, dinner or a relaxed drink with sea views, it’s an easy way to round off the day.

Plan Ahead and Book Online

Half term is a busy time, and booking in advance is recommended, particularly for RockReef and PierZip sessions.

Booking online helps secure your preferred time slots and may also offer savings compared to walk-up prices.

With indoor activities, outdoor thrills and family-friendly food and drink all in one place, Bournemouth Pier makes half term planning refreshingly straightforward.
