2. Adventure Golf – See more
Whether outdoor or indoor, adventure golf is a great addition to any visitor attraction. A themed course will attract all ages. Whether you offer it as a pay-and-play attraction or include it within the overall ticket price, it’s a fantastic way to keep your visitors engaged.
With bespoke obstacles around every corner, the element of surprise creates that all-important excitement that makes for a truly memorable visitor experience, making them want to come back time and time again. Themed adventure golf makes for some brilliant visitor photo opportunities too!

3. Indoor Play – See More
Got a barn or other out-building that you’re looking to utilise? Got some existing indoor space that’s just sat empty?…
Make the most of your indoor space with a themed indoor play attraction. Great whatever the weather, making it a go-to place for families all-year-round. Incorporate it with/next to a café and watch the dwell time shoot up – generating extra revenue from your food and beverage sales!
Theme the indoor play to the surroundings…share a bit of history…tell a story through the design…it suddenly becomes more than play, it becomes educational! View Flavour Forest Case Study
4. Assault Course
Want something a bit different? Encourage people to get active…promote teamwork by adding an assault course. It’s a great use of outdoor space complementing the natural surroundings, tailored to the existing landscape.
Great for families and community groups…corporate teambuilding…add a dog agility course and even the family pet can enjoy the experience!
5. Sand & Water Play
Kids love sensory play and a sand and water play area can provide endless hours of fun. Incorporate it with a picnic area, situate it near a café, position it next to an ice cream kiosk… a brilliant way to entertain the family and increase dwell time.
Encapsulate it with a theme…perhaps a dinosaur fossil dig…construction site…and the whole roleplay experience comes to the fore. It’s also a great opportunity to add in some educational resources to enhance the play value.
