Huge new UK adventure park with skating rinks, dodgems & playgrounds opens just in time for Christmas
A GIANT new adventure park fit with skating rinks and dodgems has opened just in time for Christmas.
The entertainment venue has everything from laser quest and trampolines to roller-skating rinks, slides and an inflatable area.
It’s based in the Atria Watford shopping centre, North London, and stretches across a 33,000 square foot basement – formerly a John Lewis store.
The play area opened its doors on Saturday 21 December, just a few days before Christmas.
Flip out, the company behind the adventure park, have even kitted it out with a ninja playground, PS5s and trikes.
For smaller children, there is also be a big soft play for them to play in.
A one hour slot on weekends costs £11.99 for adults and children – or £7.99 from 10am to 3pm on a weekday.
Children under six months old go free or it’s £3.99 for those aged between six and 12 months.
Richard Beese, co-founder of Flip Out, told Watford Observer the centre was aimed at parents “feeling the last-minute Christmas pressure”.
He added those taking children shopping can take some time out to head to Flip Out Watford to “discover a playground of fun.”
He added: “Atria Watford is the perfect location for Flip Out,
“With the shopping destination offering some of the best retail and leisure experiences in the country.
“We are so pleased to be part of this mix now.”
The shopping centre’s director Simon Plumb added: “We’re delighted that Flip Out will be opening in atria Watford.
“With everything from high-tech dodgems to trampolines for visitors to enjoy, we know the opening will be a huge hit with people from the local community and beyond.”
Flip Out have a whopping 30 parks across the UK, including one in Glasgow, Liverpool and Hounslow.
The company launched in Australia in 2012 after its founder wanted to create a play centre that both adults and children could enjoy.
Some 100 to 350 people attend each centre an hour, according the firm’s site.
This comes as a huge new theme park land in the UK has taken a step closer to opening.
Chessington World of Adventures has submitted its plans to the local council for its massive multi-million project.
First announced back in October, the new themed land will have a mix of rides and attractions.
The theme of the land is yet to be revealed, although there will be both indoor and outdoor rollercoasters.
The current Kobra ride will be one of them, although is being reimagined as part of the new land.
An immersive family ride as well as play areas and sensory zones will be your younger guests.
