Swap Screens for Adventure & Magic at Hobbledown

With February half-term around the corner, it’s time to swap screens for adventure, laughter, and a sprinkle of magic! Families are looking for ways to keep kids active, happy, and entertained – and Hobbledown has it all covered! From meeting animals to collaborative play, indoor play barns to thrilling outdoor activities, there’s fun for the whole family around every corner!

Play Is the Best Workout in Disguise

Recent UK research shows that screen use now far outweighs physical activity among children, with British children spending significantly more time in front of screens than engaging in exercise; more than 14 hours of screen time and less than four hours of physical activity per week which is well below national activity recommendations.

At Hobbledown, active play such as climbing, running, sliding, bouncing, and exploring gets children moving without them even realising they’re exercising, plus adults get to join in the fun too. Energetic play sessions burn calories, help meet recommended activity levels, and provide social, emotional, and cognitive benefits. Adventure has never been this good for your health!
