October half term holidays in the UK

Get your little ones behind the wheel of their own mini off-roader and watch the concentration on their faces as they tackle the twists and turns of our specially constructed track. They will love the freedom as they sit behind the steering wheel and show you how they can drive, just like mum or dad. If they can reach the pedals, they can drive!

It’s pretty much crazy golf but bigger, crazier and more exciting! Bring your putter to the green, place your ball and off you go. Be wary – there are different routes that the ball can take, and with each one having more obstacles to tackle, it might not be as easy as you think. So plan your stroke with care! This will certainly keep the novice players on par with the pros in the family.

Do you like a challenge and want to push yourself to new heights? Then this adventure is perfect for you. Climb up to the platform, and keep your safety line to hand as you watch your step on this gravity defying, adrenaline-charged high-ropes course.

Your little tadpoles can really let off some steam as they quickly turn the handles that spin the double paddlewheels of these cute and colourful boats. It’s a great way to tire out particularly energetic youngsters!

Come and get creative whilst having lots of fun at the same time. Work your way around the stations making a suncatcher, doing some leaf rubbing, and maybe even painting a picture before getting stuck in to making some gloop… it’s likely the grown-ups will have just as much fun as the children! You will also have the opportunity to create a fantastic take-home memory with the help of the instructor. 

Come along and join in our fantastic water extravaganza where you’ll be divided into teams and use the catapults to fire water balloons at the other team and their station. Be the first to hit the target on your opponent’s station and set off the depth charge full of water to soak them! If you’re 3 years and above you can join in (children must be accompanied by an adult) and 5 balloons per person.

Ahoy me hearties, come on board and join your pirate captain as we seek to unlock the pirates’ treasure chests. Fire your water balloons, as if they be cannon, and hit the target to drench your rivals and claim the booty inside! Pieces of eight! Shiver me timbers, don’t let the other team beat thee.

There’s nothing better than soaking up the beautiful views whilst riding on a bike. Let the wind whip through your hair as you explore our many acres. We have big bikes, little ones, bikes with stabilisers and all the ones in between – so no one needs to be left behind.

All aboard! Become a mini skipper during your holiday at Primrose Valley, and with the help of your trusty crew roam uncharted waters across the lake.

Who doesn’t love bouncing on a trampoline? We’re certain your little ones will love bouncing around for ages. Get them to pop on a harness and attach the elastic bungee cord – all with our expert’s help of course – and watch them reach for the sky. They can really go as wild as they wish as our bungee cord will stop them flying away, and our friendly instructors will be on hand to make sure they stay safe.

Not to be confused with the kayak, this great open-deck boat is perfect for gliding across Lakeland’s or Primrose Valley’s beautiful lakes – an experience you can only get at these parks.
