Not for those scared of heights, there are plenty of Zip wires.. the longest one is 133m long and the highest point in the course is 36ft high. Prices are fairly high -25 for an adult and 20 for 10-17yr olds, but worth it as a special treat. There are other locations throughout the UK but Thetford was the first one created. Set in Thetford forest it is a great day out, with lots of walks and you can walk around underneath the ropes course if you are not participating so can get up close to take photos etc.

In the holidays I would definately encourage you to book as they can only accept a set amount of people per hour. The guides were enthusiastic and clear, ensuring you were competent before setting you off on your own. There are a few alternative routes for those less able , though my 11 year olds were determined to do the harder course and managed it. On the Thetford Forest site there is also a good cafe and shop , bike hire , toilet facilities and a shop . Plenty of activities for the kids too. Although its pricey - £20-£25 its an experience worth saving up for

Some of the outdoor activities are only open Easter to October such as the small farm, pony rides and tractor trailer rides and maze. Other than that it is open most of the year but not on Mondays, or Saturdays when it has private parties. Indoors there is a small soft play area, with a separate area nearby for babies, the 'duck' pond (ball pit) area, a sandpit in the barn, and a book corner. There are also outdoor play areas when the weather's fine. The only problem I find when we go is that it can be hard to keep an eye on both children at once if they want to do different things because it's not altogether under one roof. Fantastic for little ones though - worth a visit!

Its a shame that there's no public transport links really, as you have to drive to get there. other than that, its fantastic.

There seems to be quite a few negative reviews for the Sportspark, which surprises me somewhat as…read moreit's probably the best sports centre I've used. I was a regular user of the gym, on a £30 per month Gold Membership, which entitled me to use whenever I wanted it. I mainly use the running machines, of which there are 10-12, as well as cross trainers (same again) and rowing machines. I found I could get in after work and get on a machine mostly as soon as I arrived, which isn't too shoddy considering it's a well used gym. I also liked to use the weights machines, which if you chose tactically could provide a good workout. Sure, it gets busy, but compared to some London gyms I've been to where I've paid £40+ per month, it's positively breezy. As well as the gym, the Sportspark has a fantastic climbing wall, two 25m (or sometimes 1 50m) swimming pools, indoor games areas for badminton etc, a martial arts and dance studio, an amazing gymnastics facility, an outdoor athletics area and outdoor games area, squash courts and a neat little cafe/bar. Prices are good if you're a member and they often run introduction courses to activities which are particularly good value. There's also the popular free circuit training on a Monday and Tuesday lunchtime which is a fantastic little workout! I've used quite the place quite a bit, having used the gym and pool regularly, as well as going on squash and climbing courses (as well as subsequently using these facilities independently), done Taekwondo with the Saracens club, played badminton with friends, done athletics with the Circuit training people and I'm currently doing a gymnastics course at their new gymnasium (!). I've found the staff are courteous and eager to help, the wet and dry locker rooms have been clean every time I've used them and in general I've grown to love the place. I'm sorry that some people have had bad experiences, but in terms of value for money and facilities available, the Sportspark is amazing and I love that it's just a short cycle from my home.

Once there, the kids love this place. There is a small under fives area, but I can't comment on this as my kids were older once we started going, but it looks very good. There is a height restriction of 152cm (approx. age 11). Most of the area is netted (to protect the kids), and there are lots of slides and things to climb on. My daughters particular favourite is the drop slide. This is only open at certain times (it has to be staffed), and you have to have long sleeves and long trousers (otherwise there is a risk of friction burns). There is plenty of seating for parents. I suggest taking a good book to read. The cafe is ok. They do hot food, snacks and various drinks.

There are lots of swings and rides, it's in the fresh air, so they can run around and tire themselves out, less chance of picking up bugs and germs than at, say, an indoor play area, it's easily accessible by car (although you sometimes have to be a little creative about parking) and moreover it's free ! There's the river nearby for feeding ducks and plenty of open space for kicking a ball around or flying a kite.
