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!
Make February Half-Term Magical at Hobbledown
Running from 14th to 22nd February, Hobbledown is taking half-term fun to the next level with its Fairies, Dragons & Bubbles event—packed with adventure, imagination, and family fun! Alongside all your favourite daily activities, extra magical treats have been added to delight little imaginations.
Indoor Adventures
Step into Fairy & Dragon School, where children can learn magical moves, unleash their creativity, and earn their fairy or dragon status. Discover The Imaginarium – part reptile house, part water play, part insectarium, and part interactive jungle – full of caves, tunnels, pools, and hands-on animal encounters that spark curiosity. Explore the Indoor Play Barn, bursting with giant climbing frames and endless adventure, perfect for fun come rain or shine.
Outdoor Adventures
Step outside into a sparkling bubble-filled adventure, running, jumping, and twirling through gigantic clouds of dazzling bubbles. Explore Hobbledown’s enchanting Outdoor Adventure Play Villages, packed with climbing structures, tunnels, slides, and jumping pillows for energy-busting fun. Meet a huge collection of zoo and farm animals, from cheeky lemurs and curious meerkats to adorable capybaras and majestic camels, there’s plenty to discover. Wander through immersive walk-throughs, marvel at Birds of Prey shows, and enjoy engaging animal talks throughout the day. Perfect for families with children aged 2 to 12, whether they are climbing, sliding, bouncing, exploring, or chasing bubbles bigger than they are, Hobbledown packs fun, adventure, and movement into every magical moment.
