Days out with Kids | The Adventure Playground

A Great Family Day Out!

Fly down two exciting zip-wires each spanning an impressive 30 metres in length. Explore two embankment slides, one a 12-metre tunnel slide and the other an eight-metre-long open slide – placed on platform towers, connected with a fun rope bridge.

Be the King, or Queen, of the Castle in the brand new large wooden fort. Swing until your heart is content on the cross-scales, and tyre swing or start your own band with our musical instruments. All set against the majestic backdrop of Bowhill Country Estate.

Kids of all ages can amuse themselves here for hours, and they’ll learn a thing or two while they’re here. There is a world of information about walks, wildlife, flora and fauna just waiting for you and your family to discover.
