Beat the battle against boredom!
Visit a place dedicated to discovery – where imagination runs free and to learn is to play.
Deep forest
Live in a soldier’s tent in a forest army camp. From the cover of the trees, secretly signal your spies in the castle, and plan your night raid against the fortress. At zero hour, swing, climb and crawl through the forest to scale the castle walls…
Castle fortress
Explore the winding ways of a medieval castle. In the guard room you can try on soldiers’ uniforms, and defend your castle – or use them as a disguise to get past your enemy! Are you brave enough to crawl through the spooky night tunnel? Can you find the signal tower?
Logistics HQ
The army isn’t all about fighting. Construct a complex railway supply system or build a castle. Ride the swiftest horse in the stables to carry messages from HQ to the field. Be an army doctor and run a field hospital. Or set up shop and sell supplies to the soldiers.
Activity Centre
Read a book in the Reading Tree. Play a game of strategy like chess or draughts. Or use the inspiration of the Kids’ Zone to create your own art - when you’ve finished, you can frame it on the walls for others to see.
Baby Play
Soft play area
