Your Travel City Guide

Adventures are not only something to be read about in books, mimicked in computer games or watched in films – children can participate in adventure courses as part of a family day out. Across the UK there are a number of adventure centres waiting to turn kids into the hero of their own story.

A wide range of activities are on offer at different centres across the country and the variety ranges from activity days to adventure holidays; whatever suits your budget and your child’s thirst for adventure. For little Spiderman fans an adventure ropes course could be just the ticket, while others may be more suited to mountain biking or rock climbing. There is something for all potential adventurers, from the braver daredevils to the more timid explorers, parents included. The whole family will take something away from an outdoor adventure, even if it’s only a sense of achievement.

The only thing not guaranteed on an adventure holiday is the British weather, but fun, challenges and laughter are a definite as is an enjoyable time as a family. So whether it is just for a day or a whole week of activities and challenges, both the grown-ups and the little ones are certain to become an adventure hero in their own right.

Being outdoors in the fresh air encourages children to be active and enjoy exercising and socialising, helping to develop teamwork skills and empathy and understanding of other people’s personalities as well as taking part in their own adventure.
