What it’s like
Ring tubing down a real slope, ski and snowboard lessons, and a pirate ship to clamber over, all under one roof near Bournemouth.
The slope's the headline here. Giant inflatable rings go tubing down a dedicated run, and there are proper skiing and snowboarding lessons if you want the kids doing something more than sliding about. For the freestyle crowd there are jumps, boxes, rails and spins to have a go at, which is more fun to watch than it sounds if you've got a nervy first-timer.
Away from the slope there's a full adventure park: trampolines, swings, an adventure trail, a giant fort and a life-sized pirate ship to run riot on. It's aimed at five and up, and with a fort and a pirate ship in the mix, the younger end of that range will happily lose an afternoon without ever touching the snow.
Birthday parties come in three flavours, Ringo, Adventure Park and Pirate Ship, all needing a minimum of eight guests and all built to run whatever's happening outside, since the slopes use an all-weather surface. Every party price rolls in the activity and food, either a meal or a lunchbox with a drink, and you get your own table or seating area rather than being squeezed onto a shared bench.
Parking is free for over 200 cars and there's no need to book it, which takes one worry off the list. The Alpine Pub on site does gourmet burgers and proper coffee, so there's somewhere for whoever's not on the slope to sit with a flat white. Weekend and school holiday slots for sessions and parties fill early.

Plan your visit

Five and up. The Pirate Ship party suits up to about 12, and the Adventure Park stretches to bigger challenges for older kids alongside gentler play for the youngest guests.

Yes, everything runs through the online booking system with live availability, or you can call the team direct. Weekend and school holiday slots fill early.
Is there parking?
Free on-site parking for over 200 cars, no charge and no booking needed.
What's included in a birthday party?
The activity plus a meal or lunchbox with a drink, and your own table or seating area. The Pirate Ship party throws in a small pirate gift for every guest too.
Can we bring our own birthday cake?
Bring it along and hand it to the team when you arrive, and they'll help gather everyone round for the candles.
What if it's raining?
Parties and sessions run regardless. The slopes use an all-weather surface and there's indoor and undercover space to keep everyone comfortable.
Is there anywhere to eat?
The Alpine Pub on site does gourmet burgers, freshly ground coffee and family-friendly dining, so parents not on the slope have somewhere to sit.
