Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Family Day Out at Rutland Aqua Park! š¦
The kids spent an hour at the UKās largest inflatable water park and somehow managed to achieve the impossible: the kids forgot screens existed. No Roblox, no YouTube, no suspicious requests for ājust five more minutesā - 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. Youāll 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
⢠6ā7s need an adult on the water
⢠8ā15s need an adult watching from shore
š Location: Bull Brigg Lane, Whitwell, Oakham, Rutland LE15 8BL
šļø Opening Times:
ā Weekends only from May 10 to September 22
ā Daily from June 30 to September 8
If youāve 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. Thereās even a 15-mile perimeter track if you fancy a scenic bike ride or long walk.
Youāll find cafĆ©s at Whitwell and Sykes Lane, toilets, and plenty of parking - even for motorhomes. Itās open daily except Christmas Day, with most activities running from Good Friday to 31st October.
If youāre 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.
Whatās your go-to trick for getting the kids outdoors and joyfully exhausted? Iām building a list - preferably ones that come with hot chocolate and a bench."
