6. Falconry Experience

If your family are major wildlife lovers, this one will be sure to get everyone excited! Get up close and personal with these incredible birds of prey and learn how they are trained to hunt. You’ll even get to handle these spectacular birds before going on a family hawk walk through the grounds.

You'll begin your Cheshire family falconry experience by meeting several different species of raptor, kestrels, owls and hawks. Your expert falconer will explain the habits of each species and how they are trained to hunt. You'll have the chance to don the all-important falconry gloves and handle these beautiful creatures yourselves, before your falconer leads you on a one-of-a-kind 'Hawk Walk’!

As you walk through the grounds of the falconry, you'll be accompanied overhead by majestic Harris Hawks. There's no need to be nervous of these gentle creatures, as the falconer will show you exactly how to hold each of the birds with ease and fly them so they come back to your fist.

At the end of your experience, you can join the afternoon flying demonstration to watch the pro's interact with your new feathered friends!

7. Picnic Hamper

Perhaps food is the only way you can get the family together? This adorable picnic hamper may be the perfect way to get everyone outdoors for a nice family day out that won’t break the bank. Containing everything you may need for the perfect picnic, cooler bags, crockery and of course a sturdy basket. The last thing you want is a squished sandwich!

8. ArcelorMittal Orbit Slide

Do you come from a family of adrenaline junkies? Why not treat your loved ones to a 178-metre ride down the ArcelorMittal Orbit Slide? What could be more appealing than the world’s longest tunnel slide in the world? We have no doubt that this will excite all those kids out there – big or small.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is situated in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, making it conveniently located for travel from all over London. It was designed by Sir Anish Kapoor for the 2012 Olympic Games as a symbol of unity and innovation, towering 114m into the air with incredible views of the skyline from the observation deck at the top - but the fun part will be getting to the bottom!

The Slide twists and turns through the complex steel structure, descending over 178m with riders reaching speeds of 15mph during the 40 second journey. This ticket allows two adults and two children (age 8-13) to have a go each, so you can enjoy the incredible architecture, the unparalleled views, and the hair-rising slide as a family; the perfect bonding activity.
