Good to know

Just because it’s cold and wet outside, doesn’t mean you can’t have some full-on fun. Our huge indoor venues have you covered (literally), ensuring the laughter never stops. Not only is February half term the first school holiday of the year, it’s also when we showcase our brand-new entertainment, meaning you and your family will be among the first to see what’s in store for 2025. The only winter blues you’ll be feeling is from jumping feet first into the pool!
