Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Family Day Out at Rutland Aqua Park! 💦 The kids spent an hour at the UK’s largest inflatable water park and somehow managed to achieve the impossible: the kids forgot screens existed. No Roblox, no YouTube, no suspicious requests for “just five more minutes” - just pure, bouncy chaos in the outside world! With over 40 obstacles including trampolines, climbing walls, balance beams and the towering 5.5-metre Rutland Mammoth slide! They climbed, splashed, slipped and laughed their way through the session like they were auditioning for a stunt show. You’ll find blast bags that launch people like popcorn, Tornado Tower (3.5m) Seadragon (10m) flip stations for the show-offs, climbing walls, balance boards, monkey domes and wobbly walkways! • 50-minute sessions - enough to burn off sugar and test your core strength • £20 per person + £5 wetsuit hire (or BYO) • Life jackets included; waivers must be done online or pay £5 admin fee • Ages 6+ only; must swim 25m unaided • 6–7s need an adult on the water • 8–15s need an adult watching from shore 📍 Location: Bull Brigg Lane, Whitwell, Oakham, Rutland LE15 8BL 🗓️ Opening Times: — Weekends only from May 10 to September 22 — Daily from June 30 to September 8 If you’ve got time to explore beyond the Aqua Park, Rutland Water itself is huge - 4,200 acres of countryside with walking and cycling trails, a nature reserve, mini golf, a beach (summer only), and play areas at Sykes Lane. There’s even a 15-mile perimeter track if you fancy a scenic bike ride or long walk. You’ll find cafés at Whitwell and Sykes Lane, toilets, and plenty of parking - even for motorhomes. It’s open daily except Christmas Day, with most activities running from Good Friday to 31st October. If you’re looking for a summer outing that gets the kids active, off screens then Rutland Aqua Park delivers. Just be prepared for wet socks, sandy crisps and children who somehow still have energy after all that cardio. What’s your go-to trick for getting the kids outdoors and joyfully exhausted? I’m building a list - preferably ones that come with hot chocolate and a bench."
