    Awesome place - activities for the very active, right through to a slow walk! I'm somewhere in between and there was so much to do, there was no way to fit it all in! I could come back again and again. I love their ecological outlook, the way they care for the environment and keep your safety paramount. A great recent addition is the café 😊

    Brilliant challenge, fun, experience here for the family kids age 9 and 12. Tried a few family pens together then split up so older child could try more challenging climbs , we got up to the highest in the red below black which he did, real challenge but worth it. (We did it on a day of 30deg but it had good shade in the trees) An excellent part is the zip lines over water where some you can skim with your feet hands, or just stay dry if you want. Lockers there for your stuff and few vending machines for much needed drinks and energy chocolate! After initial training you are left to yourself and just follow the routes and instructions, staff there if you need any help from time to time.

    Excellent place for all the family to enjoy with various levels of activity. The scenery is beautiful and the staff are extremely helpful and bilingual. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Very good value for money. I went with three kids (11, 8 & 6) all with different levels of confidence and ability. We did the laser tag, zip lining and pony riding. Very organised but I recommend...
