What To Expect At Flip Out Liverpool

No comments

As we can't always rely on the weather we always try to head to an indoor play area when it's raining as little J always has energy to burn. We find a few hours is just enough to let him run, bounce, play and explore. He definitely has his favourite indoor play areas however he is always keen to try new play areas that pop up. We are already a fan of Flip Out Aintree so was looking forward to visiting its new indoor play area Flip Out Liverpool.

Captain Careless Treasure Hunt At Sea Life and Legoland Discovery Centre

No comments

Disclosure - We were invited to Sea Life and Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester. All thoughts, opinions and photographs are our own. 

This Summer Sea Life and Legoland Discovery Centre have teamed up to offer visitors a swashbuckling adventure.  Can you follow the trail led activity to help Captain Careless find his treasure?

What To Expect At Sea Life Centre and Legoland Discovery Centre For Captain Careless's Treasure Hunt

At Sea Life guests will be able to take part in trail-led activities, from navigating their way across the ocean to helping solve Captain Careless’ coin conundrum, whilst hunting for the lost shiny booty which is hidden within the depths of the attractions. 

At the Legoland Discovery Centre, enjoy a brick-tastic day out. Don your sea legs and meet Captain Brickbeard and enrol in the Pirate Training Academy so you can learn what it takes to be one of the crew! Why not create an awesome pirate pet or a pirate flag from millions of pieces of lego?

 

On arrival at Sea Life we were given a map and a pirate trading card to get us started. We explored the centre looking at all the Sea Life creatures whilst trying to solve the Pirate puzzles. 

The puzzles where clearly displayed and the trail was a great addition to our visit. At the end of the trail we were greeted by a pirate who gave us a gold chocolate coin, a Peppa Pig Sticker and a magnifying glass for taking part.

Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester is just next door to Sea Life and again on arrival we were given a map and another pirate trading card. 

We were free to enjoy all the usual attractions at Legoland Discovery Centre however there were pirate themed activities throughout the session. 

Find a member of staff to play the trading cards game (similar to top trumps) if you win you get to keep the cards and there are 6 to collect. 

Join in with the Pirate Dance party showing off your best pirate moves. 

Meet Brickbeard for the chance to grab a quick photograph with him. 

Anything Else?

Where? SEA LIFE London, Manchester and Birmingham and LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester and Birmingham 

When? Birmingham: 9th July – 4th September, Manchester: 16th July – 4th September, London: 23rd July – 3rd September

 

Pre Booking is essential and a time slot needs to be chosen if booking in advance

I would recommend allowing no than 1hr30 for the Sea Life and Legoland Discovery Centre is limited to a 3 hour slot which is plenty of time. 

You can purchase standard tickets online however if you are visiting both Sea Life and Legoland Discovery Centre you can purchase a multi which can help you save up to 32%

Sea Life has a small children's soft play area half way through and toilets. There are a few seats and vending machines. There is no cafe.

What To Expect At Ninja Warrior UK, Liverpool

No comments

Disclosure - This is a collaborative post

We are big fans of Ninja Warrior UK and have sat and watched as contestants take on the obstacles and challenges, cheering them on from the sofa. We have said many a time that we would love to give them a go ourselves and now we can as Ninja Warrior UK has 16 adventure parks across the UK with it's latest arriving in Liverpool. In addition, if you are also a big fan of the TV show Ninja Samurai, I'm sure you are very fond of ninja elements, so why not gift yourself some unique trinkets? There are many options to choose from, such as Custom Enamel Pins. You'll be able to add something about ninja samurai to the pin yourself. Such exquisite pins can not only be collected but also used to decorate your clothes or bags!

What To Expect At Ninja Warrior UK, New Mersey Retail Park, Liverpool, L24 8QB

Inspired by the hit tv show Ninja Warrior UK a new adventure park has arrived in Liverpool. The adventure park is a supervised fitness and activity venue that has something for all ages and abilities. We were lucky to join in with the opening celebrations and we were amongst the first to try out the inflatables, the obstacle courses and we tried to beat the wall. 

The obstacle courses are a must if you want to test your strength and complete the course with family, friends or just on your own. There are a variety of balance beams and climbing obstacles that are all surrounded by padded flooring to soften your landing if you fall. 

The inflatable obstacle course is lots of fun with racing challenges, slides and obstacles. 

Mount Sasuke was a personal favourite of ours. Each side of Mount Sasuke had a different way of climbing to the top. It was lots of fun and once at the top you get to slide down to the bottom. 

The Wall is also lots of fun with three to choose from depending on your fitness level and ability. Little J and John managed all three.

Mini Ninja's is perfect for 0-3 year olds and can be bought separately. It's a play area with obstacles and slides. 

Anything Else?

Ninja Warrior UK is suitable for all ages and abilities. You can purchase a Mini Ninja's ticket for those 0-3 years and a Ninja Warrior ticket for those aged 4+ to Adult of all ages.

Ninja Warrior UK costs £12 for 1 hr session or 2hrs from £16.50

Ninja Socks must be worn on the inflatables. These can be purchased for £2 at online checkout or at the venue. 

Clean sensible footwear is to be worn on the obstacles. 

Complimentary lockers are available. 

All under 12's must have an adult on site. 

Normal opening hours are Mon-Thurs 9am-8pm and Fri-Sun 9am-9pm

Booking online will avoid disappointment.

There is also a seating area over two levels and a wide range of hot and cold snacks and drinks to purchase. 

We will definitely be visiting Ninja Warrior UK again, we already have another booking made for later in the Summer holidays with friends. It's fun, energetic and the perfect way to burn some energy.

Flip Out Trampoline Park, Liverpool

No comments

Disclosure - We were gifted tickets for the purpose of this post. All thoughts, opinions and photographs are our own. 

We have been trying to keep busy this Summer, getting out and about so the boys don't just sit on their screens all day. As we can't rely on the British weather we have had to plan a few outdoor days out and also some indoors. Luckily we have quite a large selection of indoor play centres in the North West and we recently visited Flip Out, Liverpool.

What To Expect At Flip Out, Liverpool L9 5AT

Flip Out, Liverpool is not just a trampoline park, it is so much more. Flip Out is home to a 65ft donut slide, total wipeout, cyber towers, drop slide, stunt boxes, a huge interconnected trampoline arena and lots more.

The arena is split in to different sections. There are steps down away from the trampolines which lead you in to an area that has a play structure, donut slide, and climbing frame. It's a great addition to the trampolines and the boys spent a lot of time there, climbing and sliding. 

The simple trampolines are a great way to get you used to bouncing and work out where everything is. There are also some high power trampolines that allow you to launch yourself into a foam fit, flipping as you go if you wish.

The 65ft tube slide, which is very similar to an ice slide is lots of fun. You sit in a rubber ring and slide to the bottom. I haven't seen one of these anywhere other than in ice adventure areas, and it was just as much fun.

The stunt area has higher powered trampolines all around a well padded Lamborghini car that can be jumped on, or over.  This was a really good area to get some height into your bouncing. This area has a minimum height restriction of 1.2m.

There was also an assault course type area, again with minimum height requirement, this was similar to a play area structure with climbing, rolling, and a decent size slide at the end which was very quick.

You are guaranteed lots of laughs on the total wipe out zone. This is an activity where you stand on a spot and have to either jump over or duck under a moving bar. 

Anything Else?

Each standard jump session is 90 minutes which we felt was just the right amount of time. We were able to explore the large arena and enjoyed all the features inside. A 90 minute session costs £15.

You can enjoy some toddler time at Flip Out during off peak times. Monday 1pm then Tuesday to Friday at 10am, 11:30am and 1pm. Costs for the Toddler and Parent session is £12 with one adult free (term time only).

A family bounce is available which saves you money. Each family ticket is for 4 (must include one adult over 18) and costs just £50 anytime on any day.

For those who would like to enjoy a reduced sensory environment with dimmed lights and reduced noise you can enjoy an additional needs session. The sessions run on a Tuesday 5:30-7pm and Sunday 10am-11:30am. Price is £12 and carers go free. We found it very loud and busy when we visited so I would highly recommend these sessions to those who may be overwhelmed.

An after dark session brings a party atmosphere to the arena with light shows and super sound systems. After Dark runs for 2 hours every Friday and Saturday at 6pm. Cost is £16 or you can upgrade to a Flip Feast which includes a 9" pizza and drink for £20.

If you are thinking of a party there are some dedicated party rooms with plenty of space throughout and even free wifi for the parents. We didn't try the cafe although it looked to serve a good selection of food and drinks and there was plenty of seating around too.

It is recommended you book online to guarantee entry. 

Arrive at the venue 30 minutes before your bounce time and sign your waivers before you arrive to save time. 

Flip Out socks can be purchased from reception for £3 per pair. 

There are plenty of parking spaces however near the session times it was very busy to park.

We all really enjoyed our visit. The separate areas, slides and climbing frame really give the trampoline park that extra something. 

I am always so grateful for any support I receive on my blog and social channels. If you did find this post useful there are a few ways that you could say thanks and support Playdays and Runways.

Play Session At Legoland Discovery Centre, Manchester

No comments

We have been Merlin pass holders for years now and I actually can’t remember when we didn’t own annual passes. We visit Alton Towers the most throughout the year however as there are more attractions now in the North we can now choose from the Tower, the Sea Life centre and Madame Tussaud’s in Blackpool and the Legoland Discovery Centre and Sea Life Centre in Manchester.

We have been to the Legoland Discovery Centre many times in the past. It is in the Trafford Centre which is just outside of Manchester City centre. Last week we visited for the first time since lockdown and if I am honest it was our favourite visit to the centre by far.




The Legoland Discovery Centre is working on two play sessions per day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each session runs for approximately two hours and has to be pre-booked




We arrived 10 minutes before our afternoon session began and there was quite a queue as everyone was getting their tickets checked and also their temperature. Once inside we were given the rules of how the two hours play session work. As you enter the main part of the attraction you are encouraged to go on the ride Kingdom Quest. The ride is closed at approximately 1 hour after the session begins allowing everyone to take a turn on the ride.




Kingdom Quest is a small ride inside the centre. The ride takes you around the kingdom and every now and then stops in front of a large screen where are you then pick up your gun and shoot at the screen to score points and try and save the princess. The duration of the ride is probably less than five minutes long but lots of fun.



Next we headed into Miniland which was unusually quiet. Miniland is a smaller version of the Miniland at Legoland Windsor. It is made up of attractions from the North West. The attractions are made out of Lego such as a football stadium, horse racing stand, Blackpool promenade and Alton Towers.




The boys got to play on the football mini game, watch oblivion at Alton Towers and see Blackpool turn from light to darkness.




After a quick toilet break we then decided to pay for the boys to go on the VR attraction. It costs £5 per person unless you are an annual pass holder and it will then cost £2.50 each. The boys seemed to enjoy the VR experience however it was less than two minutes long so at £5 per person it seems quite expensive.




If you have been to Legoland Discovery Centre before you will know that the main area is for Lego building, especially cars. This Area is still available however you are given your own bag of Lego bricks which stay with you throughout the session. So you can still enjoy making and racing cars however as it’s your own bricks there is no cross contamination. Once you finish you hand them back and you receive a pop badge. 




Other attractions available are the Ninjago climbing wall, Merlins Apprentice ride, the 4D cinema and the café.




Whilst at the centre it was so easy to enjoy the attractions and building without it being overcrowded which it has been many times in the past. For us it was definitely more enjoyable as we where building. We had our own space, own lego bricks, and the queues for the rides and the Ninjago wall where short. 




The Ninjago soft play and the toddler play area towards the back of the centre are closed for now and also the Forest Pursuit electric car ride.

Towards the end of our session we headed to the café for a quick drink and snack before heading home.




I would definitely recommend heading to the Legoland discovery Centre in Manchester this summer.Two hours was plenty of time to enjoy all the attractions and have a good building session too. Having the space to play and build without lots of kids running round made it more enjoyable. Masks have to  be worn inside the Trafford Centre however once inside the Legoland discovery you can take your mask off should you wish. You have to put the mask back on as you exit through the gift shop at the end of your session. 

Overall, we enjoyed this more than any time we have been before. The social distancing requirements have made the attraction a more relaxing environment for all.
