What it’s like
Climbing, swinging and bouncing across obstacle courses, with the Warped Wall waiting for anyone brave enough to try it.
This is the obstacle course place built around the telly show, so you'll recognise a fair few of the shapes even if you've never set foot on one before. Kids climb, balance and swing across the rigs, bounce through the inflatable sections, and the Warped Wall sits there as the thing everyone's actually come for. It's a proper workout dressed up as a game, and a one hour session is plenty for most kids under ten.
Booking's not optional here, it's how you get the good price too, so sort it online rather than turning up on the off chance. You'll want to arrive twenty minutes early for check-in and the safety briefing, and if you're late they won't stretch your session to make up for it, which feels harsh but is fair enough given how tight the timetable runs. Trainers are compulsory, gloves are a good shout for grip, and you'll need socks if you're heading into the airpark bit.
It's a cashless venue, so leave the coins at home, and there's no bringing your own food in, just the café. Under 3s can't go on during sessions and prams aren't allowed in either, though there's a free spectator wristband if you just want to watch from the walkways with a coffee. Parking's free if you register your car at reception, which is one less thing to worry about on the day.
Birthday parties start from £18 a child and get you an hour on the course, a party room or table, food and a host running the show. Term time evenings look quieter on paper, with midweek afternoons starting at 3pm, while Saturdays open earliest at 10am and school holidays run 10am to 6pm most days.

Plan your visit
How much does it cost?
It starts from £8 for adult only sessions, with a family ticket for four people at £43. Student sessions range from £11 for an hour up to £19 for two hours.
Do we need to book in advance?
Booking online ahead gets you the best price, and you'll want to complete the waivers before you arrive too. Turning up on spec risks missing out or paying more.
What age can kids start?
Four is the minimum for everyone on the course. Under 6s need a paying adult with them, and under 12s need a parent on site the whole time.
How long is a session?
An hour, with the option to extend if you fancy longer. Twilight training sessions are also an hour, priced at £10.
Can babies or toddlers come along?
Under 3s can't go into sessions and prams aren't allowed on the walkways either. There isn't a toddler-specific session mentioned beyond that age cut-off.
Is there anywhere for grown-ups to watch?
Yes, the café has a viewing area free for spectators, and there's a free wristband for walkway access too, though it's limited to one per booking.
Do I need to bring anything specific to wear?
Trainers are a must on the course and gloves help with grip. You'll also need socks for the airpark section, and turning up in the wrong footwear means you won't get in.
What about food?
There's a café on site, but you can't bring your own food in from outside.
Is parking free?
Yes, and you just register your vehicle at reception when you arrive.
Can we book a birthday party?
Parties start from £18 per child and include an hour on the course, a party room or table, food and a host. Full payment's needed at booking, and the payment link only stays open for 24 hours.
What time do you close?
It varies by day: Saturdays run 10am to 9pm, Mondays and Sundays close at 8pm, and school holidays run 10am to 6pm. Last entry is an hour before closing.
