By using symbolic computation methods, we systematically study a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Boussinesq (KP-Boussinesq) equation, which can be used to explain some interesting physical phenomena in the fields of fluids. We first obtain bilinear representation of the equation by employing the properties of Bell's polynomials. Based on that, its a series of exact solutions, such as one kink soliton solutions, two kink soliton solutions and lump wave solutions, are constructed in detail. It is worth mentioning that we also study the interaction solutions between lump waves and kink waves. Moreover, in order to describe the dynamic behaviours of those solutions, some graphical analyses are given by selecting different parameter values in such solutions. Those analyses are helpful for enriching the physical phenomena in KP-type equations.
