Fantastic open space with lots of amenities nearby. We love spending a sunny few hours here. It has a hard surface and is large enough to practice skating & cycling while having a picnic and a splash. There are fountains & ponds within and lots of shops, cafes and restaurants close by. We The Curious has a large TV screen mounted for public viewings, and this is due to be upgraded. It also contains the large planetarium, or "giant glitter ball" which even from the outside makes an attractive spectacle .There's a very good underground carpark right beneath with access directly from/to the square.

Was really impressed with this vast modern square just a stone's throw from the Pero Bridge and the harbourside cafes. The water features are spectacular and there are statues of famous Bristolians. Did not venture inside the enormous mirror ball which I later discovered is an amazing 3D planetarium attached to the science museum. Liked the eco-friendly features: the insect villages and the Energy Tree with solar panels as foliage. You can recharge your phone for free at one of its charge points. The little café in the centre was closed but there are some public toilets.

An open space that hosts events and the occasional fair or Christmas market. There are statues of Cary Grant, William Tyndale and William Penn - all local to Bristol. The energy tree is a place to recharge batteries from the solar powered tree. There is a car park under the square - very convenient for harbourside visits.
Features
Playground: No
Public restrooms: No
Off-leash dog area: No
Barbecue grills: No
Picnic area
There are seats suitable for picnics and kids often play in the water features on sunny days.

This location is great though mainly used for events, in the summer it is full of people enjoying the sun and water features! In winter the space is used for a few stalls and ice skating. They have a large screen which feels sporadically used, during the world cup it was showing alternative programming, this was good but It would be great to have seen it their as there was no large outdoor space which allowed a crowd to watch. Great in summer poorer in winter.

A really pretty location other some good opportunities for photos. There are powered USB charging ports which you can use for free and some seating but more would be slightly better. It's also a good place to skate giving the smooth flat surfaces and very popular with roller skaters. Unfortunately there are no toilets here despite being such a public place, however there is a hotel and possibly we the curious which could offer facilities if you asked nicely.

Meeting point & start line for the 2019 memory glow walk in aid of Alzheimer's. It was a great event with a fantastic positive vibe , even with the constant rain. If you want to help raise awareness for dementia, raise some money for research and have a pleasant stroll around Bristols historic harbour taking in landmarks like the SS Great Britton then sign up for next year's event. You'll have a fantastic time and help a truly worthy cause.

We visited on a lovely sunny, warm, early October day. Its a very open square with lots of seating. Some fabulous bee and butterfly hotels nestled within the flower beds, very architectural. There are a few bronze statues dotted about the square of famous Bristolians. It was quite quiet on the day we visited, not sure if this was a) the time of year or b) because We The Curious musuem is closed due to a fire?

Nice place to come with kids, particularly on a sunny day as there are lots of water features I’m which they can splash and have fun in. Fountains that come out of the ground. Currently there are churro and coffee stalls as well as a beach themed restaurant bar area in the middle which gives it a nice vibe. It’s also right next to we the curious, Bristol aquarium and a million different restaurants.

It's a great place to visit especially in summer, plenty of water features, also the we the curious is also there along with a few places to drink. The car park is the millennium square car park which is underground under millennium square which is secure with cctv & security guards. There is also a locked in a room & a pure gym. Walking distance from the centre and to the docks.

A nice open space with water fountains when I visited the water fountains was all off and some removed I'm guessing for repair as it was all fenced off. There is regularly something going on here threw the year and when I visited there was a funfair. From here is wear you access the carpark below and the vehicle entrance is next to the square.

One of few squares in Bristol city centre offering access to Bristol Aquarium, We the curious science museum and observatory. It has also got a number of restaurants in close proximity. It hosts number of events during the year and can get busy during those times. A water feature to its side provides some fun for kids when the sun is out.

Beautiful place in the city. I’ve seen plenty of tourists here, including myself, that love taking photos in front of the planetarium mirrors or the water features. It’s a great place to go with kids, I’ve seen many fascinated by the water and having fun playing in it. A great place to stop by if you are travelling through the city.

Lovely place to take a rest. There is a screen often showing short films and a water fountain for if you are thirsty. There is an ice-cream van just round the corner and WeTheCurious which is a beautiful science museum with tons to do for kids and adults. It is centered around children and I have fond memories growing up with it

Interesting to walk around, there seemed to be a few restaurants and a museum that was currently closed due to covid-19. We spotted a cute solar tree that charges your phone, i couldn't say it made any differences to my battery life after sitting down for 15 minutes on a hot 25 degree day.. but cute concept.

Went here for the Christmas Market. Was very disappointed that the only stalls were food stalls. There were a few kids' rides. We walked over to Broadmead, where it was packed full of gift stalls, food, and people. Picture of Millenium square taken from the ferris wheel.... no people!!. 21st of December too.

Used to visit all the time when my children were younger. Usually something interesting going on at the weekend. Great area if you like to watch skateboarding. Kids have lots of fun playing in the water fountain but it's a bit slippery. I highly recommend @bristol when it reopens as well.

My family and I like to go there but is very limited options to sit when no summer garden set up. And once there, its always very busy of drinkers so thats makes families to struggle to get a bit of sit and shade. Overall good place to pop round for kids to have a splash in the fountains.

Large, city centre square bordered by offices, restaurants, bars and th We the Curious science centre. Has interesting fountains, a few sculptures and vegetable beds but mainly feels like the roof of a car park (which is what it is). Often used for events (ice rink, Christmas fairs…).

It depends on the time of day that you visit, the later the worst the behaviour. Too many drunks latet. The drunk barns totally spoil it with people smoking vaping and showing what drinking does to humans. It's ok until about 21.00 but after that it's not good

There is a solar tree where you can charge your phone here even though it takes time! Amazing :-) this square is spacious and great for people watching, chilling. around it there are We The Curious planetarium, Bristol Aquarium, lots of restaurants and cafes.

Went ice skating, was a good price as we went in the first week and was actually quite quiet as it was an evening session. Was really enjoyable until I fell over and broke my wrist, but apart from that it was a very well run and well organised event

An amazing area of city with lots of shops and hotels equipped with a huge LED screen and a huge mirror globe. You will find a solar tree which helps us to charging our electrical goods. The solar tree is an amazing structure for our present time

Pleasant large open space with parking nearby and huge tv screen display... Kids like splashing around in the water features. shame this open area is not used more often to make it more vibrant. Pretty dead empty space most of the time.

It's really well run. There's plenty of attractions and facilities. Really impressed. A bit concerned about some lack of social distancing though. But this is very difficult to police. Otherwise an amazing part of Bristol. Full marks

To have time with your children, this is the place, to play with your children in your own different ways. this is the place. To just lazy around to enjoy the beauty architectural designs then there are a lot of places to sit around

Nice public space with the usual pigeons and gulls! Water features which are popular for people to paddle in. There is an underground carpark here with easy access to the harbourside, Aquarium and We The Curious (formerly @Bristol).

Great open area fronting We-The-Curious, such a pity the construction company are taking such a ridiculous time to rectify the fire damaged roof!!!
Playground
Water feature that the kids live to jump and splash around in!!

Atmosphere was great and a little wonderland on this square. As it is Christmas people were busy eating and drinking. Small fun fair and different stalls . Mulled wine and brackfurt sausages. Nice place to go for Christmas.

As concrete squares go this one is pretty good. Lots of fountains for kids to splash in, a big screen, some food/drink places and in the winter there's an ice rink. Close to plenty of other fun too like the science museum.

Great place to go to when in the centre of Bristol. There are eateries and bars not to mention the Bristol Aquarium and a hands-on science center. Little kids an run around safely and get wet in the various water features.

Brilliant in the sunshine. Great mix of people from all ages and races, enjoying themselves skating, dancing or just chilling out. Me and my partner take our children there every Saturday to soak up the positive vibes.

Lots of stuff to do, away from traffic. There are foods places, childrens education place, often events happening. Underneath is a carpark so it's easy to get too. Also close to the waterfront if you want good views.

Grab your roller blades and bring out your inner child Place always has a lot of energy, music playing, dancers rehearsing choreography and people taking a bite on the many benches around the square …

Kids love the water falls there. You find decete takeaway food options and like a bar sand area there which kids like as well. It is a lively area and known spot in Bristol. Worth the visit for a fun day!

An excellent country pub, good selection well kept of ales and ciders (lagers too I presume but not my thing so I didn't look), really relaxed atmosphere and blooming outstanding Sunday roast and deserts.

It is a lovely place but do not let your children run barefoot in the fountains! I saw a few times now some poor child stepping on the glass that's beneath the water and seriously damaging themselves.

Nice part of the city to walk through. Not much to do on the average day but there's nice bars around and there is a Christmas market set up which is great (as well as other pop up markets and bars).

Loving the Christmas "squid" light display and throw back roller disco where you can sup a prosecco under the canopy even in the rain as you watch your child career around the rink at full pelt.

Great space. I always bring the kids for a cheap fun day playing in the water fountains and the big outdoor screen is good to catch various things on including family films and Wimbledon …

A very clean and tidy open space a few bars and restaurants along its edge. And I loved the roller skaters gentle skating to some music. And the water features entice the younger children.

Had fun teaching the kids to rollerblade and to our surprise there was a large but friendly crowd from all ages skating around the square. Nice atmosphere on a chilly Saturday afternoon

The Square is nice area just behind the harbour. With plenty of space and entertainment. The water fountains and features are very relaxing. All the children certainly love the water.

Lovely open space. TV screen shows film for free from time to time. If you don't mind germs take a towel and kids can paddle in the water. You can spend a few hours about here.

I love this place in the summer, the kids always enjoy, there are amazing restaurants around serving good food and just good vibes, good to catch a tan too. Always so lively.

This car park is easy to find, plenty of parking and is well situated for the harbourside in Bristol. Only a couple minutes walk from the waterside, aquarium, restaurants etc

Despite visiting during an extremely rainy day, millennium square was a great attraction with plenty to see, with the addition of great restaurants and stores surrounding it.

Great place, full of sights. We were in town to see a show when we were last in town and it was also pride so the town was full of people. Great atmosphere and lots to do

Beautiful space and well kept. Very clean and the fountains are lovely to sit next to. Lots of restaurants nearby and right next to the aquarium and the science museum.

My son loves it. Kids can play for hours and hours with water, can't they!? The flat pools look a little worrying, but the tiles are textured so they aren't slippery.

Large square with splashing fountains - so attractive for kids. Nice place to have a rest, watching seagulls and probably grabbing a cup of coffee from nearby cafes.

Outdoor open space, at the present offering the Bristol Beach Club, Bump roller disco, water features and a comprehensive supply of refreshments for all tastes.

Stopped for a pint....cocktail bar and there was an offer on, so took ages to get served. Luckily plenty of opportunity to people watch while waiting, nice pint

Great place to hanging around. It should be more green, more trees. Too much concrete makes it cold. Statues are good and the solar panel tree is my favourite.

Excellent car parking which is close to the City's harbour and quay side. Safe, well lit but quite expensive. Parking can be paid for by credit card or cash.

Went for the harbourside festival, it was amazing, great place to go even without the festival, lots of food and drink places, just really good altogether

Great central meeting place for the Great Bristol Run toilet facilities not great on the day (likely doen to organisers rather than venue itself!) …

Fab Xmas market. It doesn't have much in it other than wines or school holidays. Ok for a stroll or visit to one of the chain bar or restaurants nearby

Nice atmosphere,and nice to see the water features open and not closed off as usual,although some features not working eg fountain features.......

Love the area, fun for family's and adults alike. The water areas are fun and popular with food and drink available. Nice afternoon in the sun.

Lovely place to bring kids on a hot day. Don't forget swimmers for them to splash in the fountains!

Public restrooms: Yes

Very nice place to chill. Everything was closed because of the situation now but the square it’s worth a visit. I’d definitely go again.

We stumbled across an art n crafts tent that our daughter was really keen on. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.

Large and beautiful space. Lots of facilities and attractions for a family or friends to spend their time in and around.

Very pleasant area, clean, tidy. The water features are brilliant. Hot days seen people basking in the 6inch deep pool.

The heart of Bristol. Cafes and restaurants galore. Harbourside and a fabulous crepe place by the little swing Bridge!

Nice clean place to visit, ideal for children on sunny day with the water fountain. Lots of restaurant close by,

Great place to go if you want to take your mind off the negative things in life. Very peaceful in the evenings

Always lots going on around here. We live 20minuets away and pop in alot to let the kids play in the fountains

Great place to people wat h on a hot Summerseat. Fantastic pubs and Restaurants in abundance. Recommended.

Winter wonderland was happening when we were there. Very festive. Yorkshire Pudding wraps ....to die for!

went during harbour festival, kids like playing in the water and occasionally rides and food vans there.

Amazing place..quieter then some areas which is nice but still lively..Great open air tropical bar.

Lovely space for pictures n goofing, sitting in the sun or just walking through to the water side

Great in the summer if your in Bristol harbour with kids for a splash or to relax or skate around

Lovely for youngsters to play in the water. Very little shade, though, for these watching!

Nice place with attractions and the river nearby. Also has some entertainment too

Love this place. Summer or winter you will always have nice time there.

Fun square with lots going on including a roller disco this weekend

A beautiful experience with restaurants, clubs among a few …

Very clean and tidy great place for a sit down with a libation.

Interesting structures. Good place to relax. Nice open space

Very busy as lovely evening - great places to eat and drink

Superb physical art with fountains and pools. Kids love it.

Just a little fair ground, with a few ride for you children

Water play in a fountain on sunny day, my.toddler loved it

Open space , nice for kids to play , cafes, and restaurant

Rather unpleasant because of lots of strange people there

Lovely place but extremely busy when the weather is nice!

Fab fun in the fountains for little ones on a sunny day.

They have the Christmas decorations now, it is very nice

Nice square with museums, shops and coffees around.

Grandkids had a great time playing in the water
