Norwood Green Junior School

"The booking was very straightforward and well managed. Just as last year, the children had a thoroughly memorable day at the park. 
 
The organisation of the day by the staff was great, as all children managed to complete all activities we had booked for. Staff were professional , courteous and skilled. Particularly Akil, who I believe was the team lead- he not only guided us for the day, he checked in regularly with the groups and went above his role to 'play' with the students (and managed them brilliantly)while they awaited their next activity and in the net park activity. 
 
We were very grateful for the time and effort in planning our school visit. We look forward to booking again soon. Thank you from all of us!"

Our school trips last from 10am - 2pm. That's plenty of time for you to pack some adrenaline-filled fun in!

As an outdoor park with limited cover in the event of a rainy day, we’d advise that everyone on the trip dress appropriately for the weather and be prepared for some elements of our park to be closed if weather conditions are extreme.

Food such as hot dogs and chips are available from our handy on-site cabin, but you are more than welcome to encourage the children to bring their own packed lunches. However, it’s worth being aware that there are no designated picnic areas.

Closed toe shoes and moveable clothing should be worn - loose hair and jewellery should not. Find out more about the dress code so that you can properly advise your school party.

You can find us to the northwest of Hounslow Heath - the views are fantastic!
