Everything!

bcd2009 · 06/10/2017 12:30

My boys would love the roller disco, water slides/water park and mini golf, these things are proven to be very enjoyable for them! But eventually we would probably try all of them :D

Lulabellx1 · 06/10/2017 13:05

Swimming

Zip lines

Circus skills

Ice rink

All winners with us!

BGcat14 · 06/10/2017 13:49

OMG what a choice! It would definitely be the FlowRider® Surf Simulator to have fun in some waves

sofieellis · 06/10/2017 17:19

DH, DS1 (21), DS2 (21) and DS3 (16) all have pretty similar tastes where activities are concerned. They would all love the Escape Room, the Games Arcade and Laser Tag. I'd be relaxing either Swimming or Reading in the Library.

imustbemadme · 06/10/2017 20:00

We'd choose the Flowrider and also Laser tag, the kids would love that and they've had a few goes on a Flowrider before.

Hopezibah · 06/10/2017 21:43

WOW - really all that! That is a fabulous selection of activities! Mine would definitely be into lots of swimming, the ice rink !!!! (wow just wow!!!) and the zip line - again how amazing.

In fact, so many things sound great but those would be our top choices.

KittyKat88 · 06/10/2017 21:48

Both my DDs would love Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark and Circus School. The DH would definitely pick the Rock Wall, and I'd hide away in the library or at the cinema! Some great activities there!

withiceandaslice · 07/10/2017 19:41

I'd like to try the Indoor Skydiving and rock wall.

I think DH would like dodgems, swimming and maybe laser tag.

DD (1) would like reading in the library, swimming and the kids club.

Nigglenaggle · 07/10/2017 20:13

Our kids love the roller disco so that would be a hit, and the ice skating. DH and I would definitely be fitting in a sauna at some point!

Minnibix · 07/10/2017 20:51

My kids would love the waterpark, we cannot keep them out of the water at home, so this would be just great for them. Myself and DD would choose the rockwall, we would be rubbish at it but it would be a great laugh

FridgeCut · 07/10/2017 20:52

Wow! Well you certainly wouldn't get bored! Kids water park and circus skills I think, bu my kids might be a little small for that.

Anj123 · 07/10/2017 21:42

My daughter would love the water park and water slides! I would like the Cinema and learn to dance. In fact there are lots of things we’d enjoy. I didn’t realise there would be so many!

JayJay1874 · 07/10/2017 22:45

the water activities, mini golf and ice skating, roller disco too.

allibaby · 08/10/2017 08:40

We would love to learn to dance and have the Dreamworks experience

TiggersAngel7774 · 08/10/2017 08:49

~ Dodgems
~ DreamWorks Experience*
~ Escape Room
~ FlowRider® Surf Simulator
~ Games Arcade*
The sky diving experience and anything to do with water

rocketriffs · 08/10/2017 09:29

DS would enjoy most of the activities, but Dodgems, Laser tag and DreamWorks experience would be the ones he'd go for first.

sootyo · 08/10/2017 11:42

Would endeavour to try them all.In particular things that we don't normally do like rock climbing and indoor sky diving.

tabbaz123 · 08/10/2017 14:53

OH anything to do with water wins in our family ALTHOUGH I have to say I am sure the Indoor Skydiving experience and Zip wires would also go down really well too!

JBH316 · 08/10/2017 15:29

I used to figure skate as a kid so it would be the ice rink and the roller disco for me followed by reading in the library. Circus school sounds fun for the kids so prob that and the waterslides for them and their dad

Wargghhhh · 08/10/2017 16:00

Wow, great list! I would do the Indoor Skydiving for sure - it would be a fantastic opportunity to try something I've never done. My husband would pick FlowRider I think, and my 2 kids (aged 8 and 9) would struggle to pick! My 9 year old daughter would probably go for the Roller Disco and the Waterpark and my 8 year old boy again would pick the Waterpark and Laser Tag - although they would enjoy most things on the list (as would we!).

fayesmummy · 08/10/2017 17:23

My children are 6, 11 and 15 so they'd all be interested in different things but they'd mostly like swimming, roller disco, kids club, water slides, rockwall and cinema.

alison991 · 08/10/2017 19:25

Swiimng and mini golf, son would do zip wire

glmcall123 · 08/10/2017 19:53

We're massive Shrek fans so we'd all love the DreamWorks Experience. Splashaway Bay and Laser Tag would be high on the list. I can't believe how much choice there is.

HelenSw4les · 08/10/2017 20:09

Wow, a very comprehensive list. Definitely surfing (for the kids) and skydiving (for me, I've always wanted to try it but never been close enough to a indoor skydiving centre). The kids would love the zip line too, so much to choose from.
