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!

Play Avenue

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.

i was pleasantly surprised and quite excited when i visited this museum.From the out side you do not expect to see the vast array of things insides as what you do see.Dating back 100 plus years every thing in here is an eye opener not only that its FREE to look round and explore when i first visited i thought oh quick ten minutes to look round and pass the time away.Well it took me well over an hour browsing t my leisure before i had finished looking round this museum well worth a visit even if you need to pass an hour or more away.

Great place for lunch with a varied menu. Free entry too.. Often have a range of exhibitions, sometimes interactive which is fun with kids. Theres a small shop selling local artisan work, but keep a check on whats happening and there have been some exciting displays in the past, inc. Grayson Perry's tapestries and more lately an interactive Lego exhibition
