2. Go Ape

A stately backdrop to your Go Ape experience at Normanby Hall. One of our newer locations, this Treetop Challenge and Treetop Adventure course offer something a little different. No two crossings are the same - so you’re going to have to work harder as you navigate each crossing which will push you in different ways. The Challenge course will test you with free falling Tarzan Swings, speedy zip wires and the ever-tricky stirrups. We’ve gone big and bold on the Adventure course too - you’ll find this one higher than our other locations!

Within our safe and secure purpose-built play area, little ones can try their hand at a whole host of ‘grown up’ jobs. From vet to builder, hair stylist to police person, they are free to explore while you kick back with a coffee in our cafe. Each area is kitted out with realistic and age appropriate props to give Play Avenue a ‘grown up’ feel.

Visited for the first time today with family and grandkids. Easy to find via sat nav and ample parking. Booked in on line which was easy to follow with clear instructions. Prices very competitive. On arrival clear and concise brief given at the door and greeted with a smile. Practical measure in place to keep everyone safe for COVID-19. Venue is well laid out, bright and welcoming and the 90 minute play time was just about right for our grandkids ages 2 to 5. Plenty for the children to dress up in and play with, all in great condition and clean. The Staff were brilliant and table service is in operation for drinks and food and card payments is the preferred method. As we were leaving the team were busy cleaning and setting up for the next session. Will definitely visit again as the grant are already asking when they can go again.

Had a brilliant trip to Messingham Zoo while passing through Scunthorpe on a return trip to the North. The prices for admission, gifts, and the cafe were very reasonable and the staff were more than happy to offer a guided tour, allowing my children 5yr, 3yr and 1yr to stroke many of the animals and ask tons of questions. The zoo is tidy and clean with handwashing available after handling animals. And most importantly the animals have loads of room and are in great condition showing they are genuinely looked after. A brilliant attraction for the area and count myself lucky to have found this gem and have a visit :) Thank you Messingham Zoo!

I recently purchased an annual pass for £20 which includes free car parking each time. Overall this is excellent value and we are already on our third visit. We really lovely the Hall and Park and my young child has lots of different activities - two parks, splash pad, kids room with a fab dolls house in the Hall, craft and role play in the museum and our surprise at finding the play house in the woods. The land train was good value at £1 am adult and the volunteers mini steam trains at 20p each was a bargain! Snack items and coffees are fairly expensive but I'm glad to see the main cafe is undergoing a refurbishment from this week. Overall we love coming here and all the staff are really friendly and helpful.

I may be a bit biased as my husband now works here, but we have had a few fantastic days here over the Easter holidays. The staff are all lovely and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We also brought a couple of friends with us today and decided to have some food. The kids had a sausage meal and us grown ups had a panini, all I can say is WOW, it was delicious. The only thing I think is a little bit of a shame is that you can’t feed the animals any more and the kids used to love this, but I understand why. My eldest just spent the majority of the day in the hay bales, and my five year old got a beautiful face painting done. Thank you for making our Easter holiday even more fantastic, and can’t wait to see the new parts of the farm being built.
