  • Great day out yesterday, my son loved all the activities and working with his friends to solve the issues. Chris was brilliant with the kids he kept them engaged and kept it fun but safe. Looking forward to coming again

    Lindley Swifts u9’s rugby league team held a team building session here and from start to finish it was brilliant. The communication from Chris and Lisa was great when arranging all the details. The activities were perfectly pitched for their age and to get them bonding and all the kids had so much fun. What a great day! I would highly recommend Scammonden View for any event, especially sports teams wanting a fun filled team bonding session. Thank you Chris and Lisa šŸ™

    This is the second year we have visited as a school and it has been another fantastic visit. We are a large school and every pupil and staff member is well catered for and have a super time. All the children came away with a deep understanding of the Stone Age through hands on and exciting activities that had been planned. It is definitely a highlight of our year.

  • My son recently had a birthday party here and loved it. It was much more relaxed than the usual playgym party and all the kids were kept entertained throughout the whole party, with plenty of things to do and play with. A few parents commented that their kids loved it too.

    I have been to 2 of the themed family events and both were brilliant. A lot of thought and effort is put into the activities which my toddler loved. Thanks for some lovely memories. Keep up the excellent work.

    We stopped local as a group of 5 family’s with kids and went down for the afternoon. Everyone had a great time building dens and doing the children’s orienteering. Would highly recommend for an afternoon out.

    Had a great time here on Sunday for the family Halloween experience. A nice alternative to the usual pumpkin picking in a really beautiful setting. Chris (who runs it) is fantastic. Very helpful and friendly with a clear passion for what he does and being outside in the wild. First time we have visited and certainly won't be the last!

    Great hot chocolate too, although I'm told his wife makes it even better than he does!

    This was amazing fun for the kids. Let's be clear, it's cold up there I'm October! We did the Halloween experience, making broom sticks, dens, wand making, brewing up a potion. Followed by hot chocolate and marshmallows cooked on a fire.

  • A great choice for keeping the children entertained during the 6 weeks. A bit different to the usual school holiday clubs. My children went for the first time on Wednesday, as it was suited to my 10year old daughter as well as my 7year old son. Neither share the same interests yet mutually enjoyed this experience. Will definitely be bringing them both back x

  • Had our 9 year old's party there today. It was brilliant. Very well organised activities, kids kept entertained for 2 hours non-stop, lunch boxes were great too, just right. Would definitely recommend 🤩
