[Ice Skating]
This activity gives children a wonderful opportunity to gain a taste of skating if inexperienced or a chance to brace the ice with their skills for the more experienced.  The younger ages will be able to skate with the knowledge that they will have their own sectioned off area of the ice so more focus and emphasis can be given by the activity coaches, whereas the older ages will be able to whizz around with the public during a normal session.

[Bowling] 
We provide one full game of bowling.  Children can test their skills against each other to try and achieve the highest score possible, knowing that they are up against watchful eyes from the other Activators!!!

[Swimming] 
For the older age group only (9 years +).  Children will be able to experience the thrills of the Leisure Pool.  Coaches will also be in the water to keep a watchful eye.  All slides are available to use as well as the spa area and wave pool.  But beware.... the challenge is when the waves are on!

[Specky's Pirate Ship] 
For the younger age group only (under 9 years).  The four levelled Pirate Ship provides a safe and inviting environment for children to explore through its slides, swings, ball ponds, netting and much more to conquer victorious.  Navigate through the ship to catch animals and fellow Activators.  Remember.... the treasure is never far!!!

Trampolining
Bouncing on one of our full sized trampolines will allow children to improve their co-ordination whilst having fun.  Taking part in a variety of games and learning new skills and tricks on the trampoline will give them an edge over their friends.

Activities and games down on the Athletics Track allows children to get some fresh air, whatever the weather.  Such games as rounders, touch rugby, splat and games with the rope and parachute.  These fast, frantic and enjoyable games will improve team playing ability and trying to get an edge over the opponent.  Watch out though, there may be some instances where winning can result in forfeits!  

Arts and Crafts
During Arts and Crafts, we like to celebrate individuality.  All children think differently, so why not get them started with free play.  Whilst being given a specific theme, children can explore into the world of their powerful imagination to create something spectacular to take home at the end of the day.
