A well established, all-weather theme park uniquely designed for children under the age of ten with rides, adventure play areas, themed entertainment and now with the recent addition of an indoor Jungle themed play area. Educational visits are now an integral part of the school routine; we recognize the need to give children who visit the Park an educational experience as well as a fun day out. We believe we have achieved this by focusing on the aim to develop understanding and knowledge through the interaction and participation of our imaginative and stimulating educational activity packs covering ‘the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage (age 3-4) and ‘Reception Year’ (age 4-5) as well as Key Stage 1 & 2

The venue has been loved by children for generations, bringing to life the stories told both at school; and by parents at home. The aim of our educational tasks which are linked solely to the themes and attractions in the Park is to stimulate the curiosity and creativity of the children, giving them the opportunity to use their imagination in surroundings that that they will be more than comfortable with and leaving them with a memorable, enjoyable and informative educational visit. The Park is unique in that it offers both traditional and modern themes with the emphasis being mainly on the former.

Our imaginative and stimulating educational activity packs covering ‘the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage (age 3-4) and ‘Reception Year’ (age 4-5), as well as Key Stage 1 & 2, have been designed to develop the communication, thinking and social skills of the children. Topics range in diversity from Nursery Rhymes to protecting the Rainforest at Foundation Stage, the Witches Cauldron to Cinderella at Key Stage 1 and finally Poster Madness to My Pirate Character at Key Stage 2.

We have the staff and facilities to cater for groups of all sizes.

Our three educational activity packs covering the national curriculum Foundation Stage and ‘Reception Year’ as well as Key Stage 1 & 2 were developed and evaluated in conjunction with experienced teachers and can be downloaded via the groups enquiry form and incorporate the worksheets and all the information and links required for the planning of the visit from start to finish.
