Join us for our fun packed family woodland adventure, perfect for children approximately 3-9 yrs old. We will be exploring, measuring how old and tall our trees are, playing games, plus a bit of ancient hunting with spears!
You only need to book a ticket for the participating children, but adults must stay too. Younger siblings may attend for free with a paying child but we don’t expect them to participate. Although we’re in the woods, its best to leave your dogs at home please.
The event is 2 hours and is totally outside whatever the weather, so prepare for woodland (muddy) conditions and a small stream crossing. We try to set off on our adventure promptly so please make sure to arrive on time so you’re not left behind!
Booking is essential using the online form on this page.
Facilities and parking: There are public toilets and a car park at the Discovery Centre. If it is full, we politely ask you NOT to park on any roadside verges on Abbey Lane, please park around the corner on Whirlowdale Road, and walk to the entrance. Allow an extra few minutes for this.
If you have a question, please call 0114 263 4335 or email playwild@wildsheffield.com
Please note: The woodland is not accessible and involves crossing a small stream with muddy banks (we can help you with a pram if needed). Please ask for more clarification if you have mobility issues.
