We have visited previously with Ezra when he was 18 months, for their Christmas event which was fantastic. This time our trip to Stockeld Park was during The Summer Adventure event.

The whole park is designed with kids in mind, but in a way that will keep adults happy too.<\/p>\n<h3>Magical Maze<\/h3>\n<p>We started our day tackling The Magical Maze, Ezra loved tracing the map with his finger thought it was a great idea to take a photo of the map so we could revisit it &#8211; thank goodness we did or I think we\u2019d still be in there now.<\/p>\n<h3>Farmer Foster&#8217;s Barnyard<\/h3>\n<p>Once we escaped, we headed to Farmer Foster\u2019s Barnyard where there were rides on tractors and a farmyard themed playground which was suitable for both children. Etta loved climbing through the tunnels and the swings. She is swing obsessed!<\/p>\n<h3>Outdoor Inflatables<\/h3>\n<p>The outdoor inflatables were next on our list &#8211; Ezra (and daddy) loved the giant slide and Etta loved the giant jumping pillow. I was really pleased the inflatables were included in the ticket price and Ezra made good use of having them at his disposal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Outdoor-inflatable-1260x708.jpeg\" alt=\"Outdoor Inflatable\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_column_text]\n<h3>Enchanted Forest<\/h3>\n<p>The sunshine finally came out and we used this opportunity to explore the magical Enchanted Forest. There is so much to see in this part of the park and with five additional playgrounds, both children were really happy. We spent most of our day exploring the different areas of the Enchanted Forest, and paid \u00a36 for a go on the Buccaneer boats which Ezra loved.<\/p>\n<h3>Playhive<\/h3>\n<p>We ended our day in the Playhive, although we could have spent a lot longer exploring the different zones. It\u2019s a full day out in itself. It\u2019s based around four interconnected worlds of space, air, jungle and\u00a0 sea and has high level walkways and giant spiralling<br \/>\nslides. There\u2019s also a toddler zone which Etta enjoyed exploring.<\/p>\n<p>Stockeld Park also offers live shows which are an additional charge on top of the ticket cost &#8211; although only \u00a31.25pp.[\/vc_column_text]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Indoor-play-1260x708.jpeg\" alt=\"Indoor play area\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Our highlights<\/h2>\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Boats-1260x708.jpeg\" alt=\"Boats\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_column_text]\n<ul>\n<li>Watching Etta find her bouncing legs on the giant inflatable pillow.<\/li>\n<li>Whizzing down the zipline at the Tangle Tree Climb (it\u2019s a speedy one!)<\/li>\n<li>The look on Ezra\u2019s face when he heard the troll under the bridge<\/li>\n<li>Escaping the Magical Maze together.<\/li>\n<li>Spinning around on the Buccaneer Boats.<\/li>\n<li>Feeding the monkey bananas in the Playhive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Things to know before you go<\/h2>\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Outdoor-play-tractor-1260x708.jpeg\" alt=\"outdoor play area\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_column_text]\n<ul>\n<li>They\u2019re currently trialling a Rainy Day guarantee over summer.

This is excellent for families no need to worry about the weather!When you book, you can either choose a time slot for the Playhive or pay an additional fee to have access to the Playhive anytime, all day.

The only downside for us was that it was located within the Playhive, but with no access to the Playhive play area. This resulted in a very grumpy four year old (oops!).<\/p>\n<p>There is also the Woodland Cafe located at the entrance of the park which serves lighter bites, and a few adventure cabins dotted around the park where you can buy drinks, snacks and ice creams.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Final thoughts on Stockeld Park?<\/h2>\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Father-and-son-1260x708.jpeg\" alt=\"Father and son\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_column_text]A winner!
