Lets go! It's half term and Woodlands multi indoor centres are packed with fun. Outdoor zones are all geared up for a fantastic day out, all for the cost of £6.00 per person.

The variety of play in the massive Empire of the Sea Dragon provides action for all ages with three rides, the best slides, fantastic venture challenges and exciting soft play for little ones. The riskiest ride in the Empire is the Trauma Tower, hold on as it climbs up 45ft but watch out for the big drop which leaves stomachs high in space. For the best views of the five floors of action whirl up on the Dragon Mini Wheel, or for a more gentle thrill the submarine ride is perfect.

Trot over to the Master Blaster where all ages play the zippiest game in the Universe, volcanoes, blasters and cannons keep families in a firing frenzy of fun.  Next door toddlers have their own activities in the Big Top Soft Play, juniors enjoy climbing, swinging and sliding in the Acrobats Funderland while the circus train puffs by.

As well as the 100,000 sq.ft. of undercover play a whole lot of the outdoor rides are open. The Sea Dragon Swing Ship is a white knuckle monster 11 metres high for a whoosh of negative G force, then bish bash your way around the Bumper Boat pond. The Big Fun Farm has five massive barns to explore. Amazing new daytime & nightime creatures join favourite animals, there are not only rabbits to cuddle but rascally raccoons and exotic cockatiels to enjoy with creepy Giant Millipedes, Sugar Gliders and glow in the dark Scorpions to marvel at. The Reptile House is home to tiny Bearded Dragons and at the other end of the ‘scale’ Homer, a 12 foot Albino Burmese Python. It’s a Zoo-in-a-Farm! Accelerate the Big U-Drive Tractors past the giant scarecrows; little ones can pedal tiny tractors and fire engines round Windmill Village.

The Falconers are on hand to show you the birds and answer questions but there are no flying displays at the moment.  If you haven’t got one of those lucky coloured tickets yet try asking at your local TIC.  Half term outings are big at Woodlands; it’s incredible value for all the family.   Click here to see their website.

The Good Intent re-opens this weekend and as it’s Valentine's Day we’ve got some deliciously decadent cupcakes to tempt your loved ones with. Hand-made and individually decorated these little beauties are guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Stocks will be limited so make sure you come down first thing (we open at 10’o’clock). Or give us a call before hand (07889 342407) and you can pre-order – which means we can even put a personal message on the cupcakes for you. Don’t forget we also have our home-made fudge and of course our luxury ice cream on offer too.
