The Milky Way Adventure Park

About

This all-weather family adventure park was the only attraction in Devon to win TripAdvisor’s highest accolade, a Travellers' Choice Award, in 2016, 2017 AND 2018. 

This winter at The Milky Way you'll find lots of all-weather fun, plus magical festive activities over the Xmas period. During December children will love preparing for the big day in Buzzlewick's Elf Emporium by decorating gingerbread straight from Mother Christmas' kitchen, preparing a special letter and making all-natural reindeer food ready for Christmas Eve. In addition, parents have the option (please book ahead on the Milky Way website for this) to take their children to meet the REAL Father Christmas in his enchanting Grotto, where they'll receive an exciting gift! 

From November 1-March 27 The Milky Way is open most weekends, and most weekdays during school holidays, though the park's standalone Little Stars play centre (designed for those aged 0-6) is open most weekdays and weekends even in winter.

NEW for 2019 is the park’s brilliant interactive ride for all ages – Ziggy’s Blast Quest. Join Ziggy and help save Planet Earth by piloting a Cyber Scooter round and using your Blasteroid laser to destroy rogue asteroids and meteors before they destroy the planet.

At The Milky Way you’ll find attractions to suit all ages, whatever the weather – and virtually all the fun is included in one great-value entrance fee. There’s over 110,000 sq ft of indoor fun and acres of outdoor activities designed to make sure the whole family has a fantastic time playing together. Located in beautiful countryside near Clovelly, it’s just a short drive from Bideford and 20 minutes from Barnstaple.

Open for Spring 2019 is the park’s newest addition – Ziggy’s Blast Quest. Join Ziggy and help save planet Earth by piloting a Cyber Scooter and using your Blasteroid laser to destroy rogue asteroids and meteors before they destroy the planet.

Last year’s new addition was the exciting Gravity Rider – at around 30ft tall, this two lane donut slide guarantees a fast, fun and exhilarating ride that’s totally unique to the region. Then enjoy the hair-raising drop of the Cosmic Typhoon roller coaster, and take on the huge death slides in the Time Warp – the area’s biggest indoor play area. Within this huge space (it’s heated in the colder months) you’ll find assault courses, rope walks, ball pools and four slides of varying speed. Start with the gentle one then build up to those that are more challenging - if you dare! The whole area is built for adults as well as children, so everyone can have fun (and have someone to hold their hand if they want!).

The Milky Way is also home to the Jumping Jupiters: one of the UK’s largest bouncing pillows, as well as a smaller pillow just for children under five and accompanying adults, and an amazing display of Sci-Fi memorabilia “From Daleks to Darth Vader!”.

One of the most popular attractions are the indoor Droid Destroyer Dodgems, which guarantee a bumping good time for everyone, and little ones can join in the fun here too – there are special gentle rides for smaller visitors.

There’s plenty of fun designed specifically with smaller adventurers (and their grownups!) in mind, too. The innovative Little Stars  play centre offers adventure and imaginative play for babies to pre-schoolers, with a multi-level soft play area, sensory room for babies, a dressing up area, a role-play pizzeria complete with kitchen, tables and food – and even a pretend carwash with ride-on cars. The space is designed so that parents can relax and enjoy a snack or meal (family treats and healthy options, as well as proper coffee, tea and cakes) in the in-house café and have a good view of the play area at all times. Babies and pre-schoolers also love the new Bouncing Balloon Room, and the gentler areas of Time Warp, some of which are set aside just for them.

To wind down, visitors can take a leisurely trip on the Milky Way railway, and then sit back and enjoy the live shows, which include Merlin from Britain’s Got Talent with his fun-packed skills and thrills show, and breath-taking displays from the North Devon Bird of Prey Centre. The park also has a 1,000 seat indoor arena, so the show goes on whatever the weather! Alongside this, there’s plenty to try your hand at including pottery, golf, archery and laser shooting for all the family.

Don’t miss out on the biggest all-weather day out in North Devon! Your adventure awaits … are you ready?
