Adventure Parks & High Ropes in Liverpool
Gravity MAX Liverpool, right in the centre, is more indoor arcade than treetop adventure, with karting, bowling and a VR arena from £9.95 if the weather's against you. For actual ropes and zip wires you're heading out of the city: Jungle Parc in Warrington has a lower course for kids from four plus a proper high-wire test in Walton Hall Gardens, and there's a longer trip out to Go Ape Delamere in Northwich, from £20.95, where you book a timed slot for the forest zip wires. If you've got a five-year-old, Rock & River near Ormskirk runs a mini high ropes course from age five, from £5.50, alongside kayaking and open water swimming. Cheshire Outdoors, also in Northwich, is the one for slightly older kids who fancy archery and axe throwing from age six, from £4. Delta Force Paintball in Prescot keeps things outdoor and competitive with a Miniball option from age 7, from £9.99. For pure high ropes and zip lines, Jungle Parc and Go Ape are the ones to book ahead for.
