Kids can let off some steam, have fun and regenerate after school at West Boldon Lodge.

The nature-site is open for you to explore and for children to follow their interests - climb the tyre dragon, hunt for bugs, relax in the hammock or build a shelter. You could even bring a picnic tea to enjoy while watching birds on the pond. Every child gets a free bug-viewer, return customers get a free cup of juice per child.

£2.50 per child, £1.50 per adult. 5% booking fee.

This is a self-led activity, staff will be on site for safety but not leading any activities. Adults are responsible for their children.
