A Fun Valley In Wet England
Children are little bundles of joy, well, until they get bored, then they turn into little tiny minions of destruction and temper tantrums. One minute you are cuddling your little darling, the next minute, said darling is scaling a tree, and you are screaming in panic. So, every parent knows that letting your children play it out can be the difference between getting a good night’s rest and waking up by the hour till dawn.
One of the best places to let kids run free is parks and nature. They are good for a fun time with kids, but where do you turn to when the weather turns dreary, as it often does in England? Or even when the sun is shining, but kids need a fun but very energetic play area? That’s when Fun Valley comes in.
Fun Valley is Leicester’s go-to play area for an indoor adventure center for families with children aged 0–12. The athletic and energetic play centre combines exciting, multi-level play structures with a safe and welcoming atmosphere, making it a hit with both kids and parents.
A Full Athletic Playground
At the center of Fun Valley is a three-tier play structure, otherwise known as a jungle gym. The structure is targeted at toddlers and younger kids and comes along with colourful slides, rope bridges, trampolines, climbing nets, and winding tunnels. Each structure comes together beautifully to form a complex adventure maze waiting to be explored.
For older children who won’t be amused by something as basic as a jungle gym, Fun Valley goes the extra mile. There are activities like go-karts, arcade-style rides, and a small sports court for football and basketball that can be played in teams and are high-energy. On weekends and select evenings, there is also a 20-foot climbing wall that offers an extra thrill for children who love climbing. Or are just adventurous.
Now, you might be thinking about your tiny tots. Don’t they have somewhere to play without being trampled by the larger ones? They actually do. Toddlers have their own dedicated under-3s area complete with a ball pit, soft play shapes, gentle slides, and an air cannon zone.
Cafe Room: Comfort and Convenience For Parents
While you kids are shrieking and shrilling with fun and laughter, you, as a parent, get to soak in a much-needed relaxation. Parents or guardians can take a breather in the on-site café, which serves hot meals, snacks, cakes, and drinks. The cafe is equipped with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioned seating, and clear sightlines to the play areas. So, it is easy to relax while keeping an eye on the action. Other practical touches include clean toilets, baby-changing rooms, and ample free parking spaces, all of which contribute to a stress-free experience.
The Cafe has a well-stocked larder for when you and the kids get hungry. For adults, you can order something more filling like a full English breakfast, or Pizza, or your choice of burgers and sandwiches, all for under £10. Meanwhile, for kids, there is a simple kids’ happy meal menu for about £4. It has all the kids like too; Chicken nuggets and Pizza slice, waffle or chips, and your choice of apple or orange juice.
Popular Venue for Celebration
Fun Valley is predominantly a place for fun and play, which is why it is also a great venue for celebrations.
