Open daily from 10am to 5pm, Day Tickets and Annual Passes are available to book online now. From thrill-seekers to bug-hunters, there’s something here for everyone.

The awesome Hidden Towers

Two enormous slides, climbing walls, wobbly walkways, crawl tunnels and more. Climb, clamber, slide and explore. Imaginations will run wild.

Treetop Rope Bridge 

Cross the daring Rope Bridge over the gorge to reach the treetop lookout platform. Speak with friends through whispering funnels to plan the next step of your adventure.

Toddler Play

Younger children will love their very own mini play tower. Featuring low level adventuring with a slide, rope bridge and balancing trail.

Refuel at The Muddy Mole

All of the play and exploring can be hungry work. When it’s time to take a rest, The Muddy Mole is the perfect spot to refuel. Grab a bite to eat and go again.

Fun packed play zones

Six fun packed play zones provide endless hours of outdoor fun for all ages.

Butterfly Banks

A nature haven made up of sky-high bug towers and wonderful wildflower plantings.

Your last stop before the Hidden Towers!

Meet Cecil the Mole

Hide & Secrets is themed around William Cecil as one of the country’s first Chief Spymasters.

Hide & Secrets’ very own Chief Spymaster is Cecil the Mole. 

Cecil lives in this woodland and he needs your help finding his woodland friends.

Take on special spy missions with him, scurry through tunnels, crack the secret codes and follow his sneaky trails through the play area.

Make sure to pick up your free Spymaster’s Guide on arrival.
