Adventure Parks & High Ropes in Coventry
Right in Coventry, Go Ape at Coombe Abbey Park has zip lines and Tarzan swings with a proper kids' course from age 4, and Caludon Castle Park is a free spot with a play area and outdoor gym kit if you just want an hour outdoors. Head out to Tamworth and Cliff Lakes has a floating aqua park with a 12 metre X-Tower, plus open water swimming, though that one's ages 6 and up. For younger children, stick close with Caludon Castle Park or the Go Ape kids' course. Older ones after something bigger should look further out: Blackwell Adventure in Bromsgrove runs zip wires, caving and archery from age 6, geared more to group bookings than a quick solo visit, while Boundless Outdoors near Stourbridge does zip wires, climbing and grass sledging built for eight and up. Most of these want booking ahead, and prices start low at Go Ape from £9.95, so it's the extras like food and parties that push the cost up.
