If your little ones live for zip-wires, pony rides, muddy woods, and exploring, then Bosinver is like an adventure playground in the countryside!
With 30 acres of meadows, woodland, a lake and outdoor play equipment, kids have room to roam, climb, explore and imagine. Bring their adventures to life with our outdoor adventure park, including zip wire, giant slide, tyre swing and danger trails!
Enjoy forest school sessions with Tatum, build dens, learn how to bang nails into wood, use an axe and toast marshmallows!
Kids can feed the animals with Farmer Dave, enjoy a ride on our ponies, Crystal and Ginger and get stuck into real-life farm-type adventures.
When the weather turns or energy levels drop, there’s still an indoor heated pool and soft play barn – so the adventure doesn’t stop because of rain!
Nearby Adventure-Filled Things to Do Around Bosinver
Staying at Bosinver gives you access not just to the on-site adventures, but a wide range of thrilling days out for your energetic kids.
- Kidzworld Adventure Play
Located in St Austell, Kidzworld is an indoor adventure play centre designed to let kids burn off serious energy: trampolines, giant slides, roller skating, and climbing frames. This is great for when the weather is unpredictable, or you want a high-energy afternoon.
- The Tide Climbing Centre
Located in Wadebridge, The Tide is an excellent choice for adventurous young children. Offering fun, safe and engaging climbing sessions for toddlers aged 2 plus!
- Water-based/Coastal Adventure
Cornwall is coast rich. While Bosinver offers countryside adventure, you can drive a short distance for water-based fun and hire kayaks, paddle boards and surf boards from Cornwall Watersports at Pentewan Sands, or bike riding alongside the Camel Estuary from Wadebridge to Padstow, stopping for some fish and chips or a pasty!
Take to the water and head out on a fishing trip with Huntress Charters Mevagissey. They offer various fishing experiences from Mackerel fishing, deep sea fishing, reef fishing and wildlife tours, prices start from £20pp.
Why This Adventure Combo Works
- Variety: Countryside (Bosinver) + Indoor high-energy (Kidzworld) + Outdoor nature/water + Challenge activities = diverse fun.
- Flexibility: Much of the fun is on-site at Bosinver, so you don’t need to drive every day, but you can venture further for bigger adventures.
- Built-in adventure for different age ranges: younger kids (woods, animals, pony rides) and older kids (zip-wires, wild kids, danger trail).
- Balance: After a big day out, kids can slow down at the cottage, in the hot tub or pool – to wind down before bedtime.
Adventure Holiday Tips for Families
- Pack: Good walking shoes, waterproofs, sturdy outdoor gear (woods + beach + trails!). We do have puddle suits and wellies here you can borrow.
- Book: For water-based activities, book ahead (it can be busy in holiday season).
- Mix up: Alternate big-adventure days (coastal activities, climbing) with more relaxed ones (Bosinver grounds, animal time).
- Weather: Cornwall’s weather can change. Good to have indoor backup (Kidzworld, pool) for rainy spells.
- Drive times: Keep daytrips within a reasonable time so smaller kids aren’t spending hours in the car.
