Laser Fusion

Tired of playing in the virtual world? Laser Fusion offers an exciting gaming experience in the real world, that too with lasers. It is a gaming zone similar to paintball where you shoot the opposite team with laser beams. Sound exciting? There's more to it. There are several game levels which you can play individually or in a team. Necessary gear is provided at the center. You can also bring along children as young as six years old. Group bookings include a meal package, goody bags for players and other stuff at a very reasonable price. To save yourself from disappointment, book this popular venue in advance.

Bristol Old Vic

The Bristol Old Vic Theatre is the oldest working theater in the country (it opened in 1766) and remains the home of some of the best theater you're likely to see, ranging from contemporary shows, comedy, dance, experimental and good old classical productions. There are three areas - The Theatre Royal (for big shows and pantomime), The New Vic Studio (contemporary shows, dance routines etc.), and The Basement (small-scale theater). Whatever you're into, your taste is bound to be catered for in one of the three. There is a cafe for pre-theater meals, lunches and coffee and backstage tours can also be arranged - they start in the foyer every Friday and Saturday from noon (except Saturdays in July and August). Watch out for the legendary ghost!

The Bristol Hippodrome

Bristol's West End equivalent, The Hippodrome is undoubtedly the more commercial end of theater. A magnificent stage and auditorium has been host to internationally-renowned shows (often transferred from the West End) such as Les Misérables, Saturday Night Fever and Blood Brothers. Alongside these huge shows are more specialist shows often for children but also for adults - ballet and opera being two examples. The bill is always unashamedly crowd-pulling (as witnessed by the coaches parked outside disgorging hordes of theater-goers every weekend) and if you choose to go you can expect a night of dazzling entertainment from one of the leading Show Houses in the country.
