Published on: 08/05/19

If you’re in the Northamptonshire area, and you haven’t yet been to Wicksteed Park, you’re missing out big time!

Nestled away in Kettering is a unique, family friendly park, which was established in 1921! Wicksteed Park Kettering offers so much more than just an amusement park, and continues to attract thousands of visitors each year to play and explore in it’s beautiful grounds.

So much to do at Wicksteed Park

There were 30 great reasons to head to Wicksteed Park before (the rides!) - however there’s now one MASSIVE extra reason to head there - Clip n’ Climb!

This brand new attraction features 28 different challenges across a range of colourful and unique climbing walls - allowing everyone to test their climbing abilities and compete with new friends!

Climbing for ALL ages

Friendly staff (literally) show you and your friends/family the ropes as you tackle the challenges before you. No previous climbing experience is needed, and everyone from 4 to 104 can get involved!

Fancy an even bigger challenge?

If all these rides have got your adrenaline pumping, your next challenge surely should be the Bag Jump, followed by the Zip Wire!

The Bag Jump has you jumping from multi-level platforms within the purpose-built, aptly named Adrenaline Tower. Nothing in front of you but fresh air, jump into a cushioned bag from heights of 1m, 4m, and 6m. Successfully complete each level at the first attempt, and you will reach the highest platform…which, Wicksteed says, is higher than it looks – eek!

On to the Zip Wire! Wicksteed boasts one of the UK’s longest zip wires and one of only two triple-line zip wires in the whole country. It’s definitely worth a go! Accelerating to speeds in excess of 30mph will bring out your family’s competitive natures as you compete to be the fastest.

Water fun

Everyone loves playing in the water! At Wicksteed Park Kettering there’s a wonderful array of water themed activities – from canoes and turbo paddlers, to peaceful boating and paddle boarding on their beautiful lake. You can easily while away a few hours splashing about!

Talk to me about the rides!

With no less than five different zones to explore, you’ll be spoilt for choice if rides are up your street! Thrill zone, adrenaline zone, heritage zone, splash zone and adventure zone – each with their unique themed rides. Including water rides, rollercoasters, car rides, crazy golf, fairground classic dodgems, huge slides – everything you could want from a fun day out!

If flying down zip wires, or scaling new heights at Clip n’Climb sounds a little too energetic, you’ll be glad to know it’s not all about adrenaline junkies at Wicksteed Park!
