You’ll find endless entertainment at Quex Park with nine amazing activities for kids. Let them burn energy in the multi-level indoor play frames, splash around in Pirate Cove’s giant paddling pools, and meet adorable farm animals during hands-on feeding sessions. They’ll love the 30-meter zipwire, giant bouncing pillows, and tractor rides with water gun battles. Don’t miss the adventure golf course, Dino-Trek Trail, and seasonal events like Halloween foam parties. There’s so much more waiting to discover.

Indoor Play Areas for Every Age Group

When you’re planning a visit to Quex Park with little ones, you’ll find indoor play areas designed for every stage of your child’s development.

The Baby Area creates a safe haven for non-walking babies under one year, featuring tropical patterns and costing just £1.50 for entry.

Your toddlers will love Little Lions, where the jungle safari theme comes alive through soft play equipment, slides, and ball pits perfect for ages 1-4.

Older kids can tackle the impressive multi-level Main Play Frame, suitable for children 2-11 years, which you can watch from the Watering Hole café.

Don’t miss Footy Fans, where every family member can join football activities together. Sessions run Tuesday-Sunday with morning (9:30am-12:30pm) and afternoon (1:30pm-4:30pm) slots available.

The venue also features outdoor play areas that complement the indoor facilities, ensuring children can enjoy active play regardless of the weather conditions.

Outdoor Adventure Playground With Giant Attractions

After exploring the indoor attractions, your kids will discover Quex Park’s outdoor adventure playground offers giant-sized thrills that’ll keep them entertained for hours.

The two oversized bouncing pillows are absolute crowd-pleasers, with one dedicated specifically for under-5s, so your toddler won’t get overwhelmed by bigger kids bouncing nearby.

If you’ve got adventurous older children, they’ll love the 30-meter giant zipwire – though there’s a 15-stone weight limit.

The massive sandpit contains 10 tonnes of premium sand, perfect for ambitious castle-building projects that’ll keep creative kids busy while you catch your breath. For an extra special experience, check out the touch a tractor days where farmers bring their machinery for hands-on exploration.

Multiple climbing frames suit different ages and abilities, while traditional swings ensure even the youngest adventurers feel included.

It’s the perfect complement to indoor play areas.

Animal Encounters and Farmyard Experiences

While outdoor adventures captivate kids’ energy, Quex Park’s animal encounters create magical moments that’ll have your little ones talking about their farmyard friends for weeks. The Meet and Feed sessions offer incredible value at £19.95 for up to four people, letting you enter animal enclosures with goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and Shetland ponies.

Your kids will love the hands-on experiences – from brushing gentle Highland cows to bottle feeding baby goats. Goat walking proves especially popular, giving children the chance to lead friendly goats around the farm. The experiences are led by a friendly animal handler who guides families through each interaction.

Don’t miss alpaca walking and miniature pony interactions either.

These 45-minute sessions include assistance with daily animal checks and grooming, making kids feel like real farmers. Gift vouchers are available and valid for 12 months.

Themed Trails and Woodland Exploration

Where else can your kids experience magical woodland adventures that change with every season? Quex Park’s themed trails transform throughout the year, offering Easter hunts, summer shows, Halloween spooktaculars, and Christmas experiences that’ll keep your family returning.

During festive season, the Elf Express provides nearly two hours of interactive magic. Your children will journey through decorated woods with costumed elf guides, receive Santa writing kits and chocolate treats, then choose gifts after meeting Santa himself. Tractor rides through illuminated forests eliminate those dreaded wait times.

Summer brings the incredible Maize Maze once corn reaches proper height. Your kids can harvest corn to feed farm animals while navigating the pathways.

The woodland agility courses, giant bouncing pillows, and Dino-Trek Trail provide year-round adventure, while toddlers enjoy dedicated village areas with magical seed giveaways. The woodland trails may close during quieter times to ensure optimal safety and quality for visiting families.

Adventure Golf Course With Water Features

Beyond the woodland trails, Quex Park’s 18-hole adventure golf course offers your family a completely different kind of outdoor fun. You’ll navigate challenging obstacles while mini replicas of park landmarks like Gun Tower and Waterloo Tower create a unique playing experience.

The water features are what really set this course apart—your kids will love putting around ponds, streams, and cascading waterfalls that make each hole visually stunning. The course welcomes players of all ages and provides an entertaining challenge regardless of your golfing experience.

I’ve watched families with children from 12 to teens have absolute blast here, laughing as they tackle bridges over water obstacles. The varying difficulty levels mean everyone from beginners to experienced players stays engaged.

Just watch for waterlogged areas that can get slippery. Book online for savings, and remember they’re open 10am-4pm daily.

Combat Games and Physical Challenges

When your kids are ready to channel their energy into heart-pumping action, Quex Park’s combat games deliver exactly what they’re craving. You’ll find paintball sessions specifically designed for ages 8-10, giving younger kids their first taste of tactical fun without overwhelming them.

The airsoft and laser combat options provide thrilling alternatives that’ll keep older children strategizing and moving.

Don’t overlook the archery range – it’s perfect for kids who prefer precision over chaos. My daughter surprised herself by hitting the bullseye on her third attempt, building confidence that carried over to the climbing frames afterward.

The 30-meter zip-wire offers pure adrenaline for adventurous souls under 15 stone, while bouncing pillows provide softer thrills for younger siblings watching from the sidelines. For something completely different, try the Gel Battle Royale which uses innovative gel-blaster technology and welcomes kids as young as 6.

Seasonal Events and Special Celebrations

How do you turn an ordinary family day out into a magical memory that’ll have your kids talking for months? Visit during Quex Park’s spectacular seasonal events. My kids still rave about the Christmas On The Farm experience, especially the Elf Express journey through the Magical Elf Woods and meeting real reindeer. The highlight was definitely the 15-minute Christmas Light Show with its dazzling pixels and laser surprises.

Don’t overlook Halloween’s Spooktacular Adventure either – pumpkin picking followed by a foam party had my toddlers giggling uncontrollably. Easter trails offer gentler excitement for younger children, while the fireworks event combines bonfires with live entertainment that’ll captivate all ages. The festivities run from 29th November through to New Year’s Eve, giving you plenty of opportunities to experience the magic. Each celebration transforms the ordinary farm into something extraordinary, creating those precious family moments you’ll treasure.

Water Play and Summer Activities

While special events create unforgettable memories, nothing beats the simple joy of watching your kids splash around on a hot summer day. The brand new Pirate Cove Splash Zone transforms your visit into a swashbuckling water adventure. Your little ones will love meeting Captain Splash, Splish, and Splosh while cooling off in two giant paddling pools.

Pack swimwear, towels, and swim nappies for non-toilet-trained children. Don’t forget sun protection – you’ll be spending hours here! Beyond the pools, Captain Splash’s Ultimate Foam Party creates seas of bubbles, while the Treasure Hunt Maze challenges brave buccaneers. High-energy Pirate Dance Shows get the whole family moving. For maximum value during the summer season, consider the Summer Season Pass which offers unlimited access from July 19 to August 31, 2025.

Access is included with your Farm Park ticket, though capacity limits apply. Sessions run 10am-4:45pm throughout summer.

Tractor Rides and Interactive Experiences

Nothing sparks pure joy like watching your child’s face light up during Quex Park’s legendary tractor rides. Your kids will receive water guns to shoot soft toy chickens dangling from trees, while goggles keep them protected during the action-packed adventure.

The real magic happens when a person dressed as a chicken runs alongside the tractor, spraying water at delighted children aged 2-9. High-energy drivers keep everyone engaged with infectious enthusiasm throughout the ride.

These experiences integrate seamlessly with seasonal themes – from Christmas Elf Express complete with Santa to summer’s Cheeky Dino Chicken adventures. The tractor rides consistently earn rave reviews as families’ favorite activity, boasting a 4.5-star rating.

For older kids (13+), there’s a separate £95 tractor driving experience offering hands-on agricultural fun. Beyond the tractor adventures, families can explore giant bounce pillows and the enchanted woods for additional entertainment throughout their visit.
