The Playhive in Stockeld Park

The Playhive at Stockeld Park in North is described as “one of Europe’s largest and most unique indoor playgrounds.”

It features numerous attractions to spark the imagination, including planes, submarines, massive slides, and interactive games.

Additionally, a jungle-themed section boasts a climbing wall shaped like a gorilla and an underwater zone with a large whale to climb on.

Given the abundance of activities, it’s no surprise that one parent remarked that the Playhive is the best destination for “rainy day fun.”

Open on weekends from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, tickets are priced at £13.50 per person for a one-and-a-half-hour session in the indoor play area.

All-day entry for the Playhive (which includes a one-and-a-half-hour slot) and the Adventure Park starts at £23.50 per person.

From October 25 to November 2, a Halloween event will take place, with the park open all day and tickets starting from £13 per person.

During the Halloween event, children can enjoy a tractor ride, pick their own pumpkin, and explore the adventure playgrounds in the Enchanted Forest.

Explore the Monster Maze, participate in Zombie Laser sessions, adventure through the Playhive, and ride the Flying Stocksman.
