Packed with giant slides, swings, balance beams and a host of exciting new obstacles, the much-loved floating playground promises an unforgettable challenge for families, friends and adrenaline seekers alike.

For those looking to cool off in the water, visitors can also enjoy a range of additional water-based activities, with kayaking and paddleboarding offering a more relaxed chance to explore the water.

Whether finding your balance on a board or setting off on a scenic paddle, there are options to suit all ages and abilities.

In addition to the water-based activities, North Yorkshire Water Park’s Adventure Wood offers a variety of land-based experiences, providing a fun and active way to make the most of the school holidays.

Visitors can take aim with archery, try their hand at axe throwing, or go head-to-head in an outdoor laser tag battle.

For those seeking adrenaline, the park’s popular zip line and climbing wall will also be open throughout the holidays, giving families the chance to experience high-energy activities at great value.

Meanwhile, those looking for a mental challenge can step into the park’s immersive escape rooms and puzzle rooms, working together to crack codes, solve clues and beat the clock.

After a day of activities, guests can unwind at the park’s newly re-furbished on-site café, Forge Valley Roasters - Waterside. Serving hearty meals, hot drinks and seasonal treats, it’s the ideal place to relax and refuel.

Callum Terrell, General Manager at North Yorkshire Water Park, said: “We’re excited to welcome everyone back this May half term for a week full of outdoor adventure.

"With the reopening of the Warrior Aqua Park and the warmer weather on the way, it’s a great chance for families and friends to make the most of the break, get active outdoors and take on something new together as the summer season begins.

"With so much on offer, there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained.”

All activities are available to book online. For more information or to secure your place, visit: www.northyorkshirewaterpark.co.uk
