Children’s Quad Bike & Archery Experience
Our Children’s quad biking and archery sessions are available for £50 per person and lasts for one hour and 30 fun-filled minutes.
Unleash some healthy competition as you take on the off road challenge on the children’s quad biking trail. Climb onboard the exhilarating 50cc mini quad vehicles, perfect for zooming around having some muddy good fun! This is suitable for both speed demons and the more cautious passengers – the pace is set by you. Our friendly instructions are on hand to guide you through the awesome rip-roaring adventure.
You will then receive one-to-one tuition to channel your inner Katniss Everdeen as you try your hand at junior archery. We will equip you with traditional long bows to take aim and hit the targets. Do you accept the challenge of hitting a bullseye?
We think this is the perfect opportunity for some memorable school holiday fun!
Carden Park has a purpose built multi-activity centre and quad track based in the beautiful Cheshire countryside; located just 20 minutes from both Wrexham and Chester. This activity package is available for both day visitors and residential guests. The combo activity experience is suitable for children aged 7 year to 12 years with a maximum height of 1.4 meters.
We recommend comfy clothes and trainers / waterproof footwear to be worn for both junior quad biking and archery activities.

Spring Saver Kayaking - Low cost trips. Same high standard. It's time to come out of hibernation.
Introducing our Spring Saver Kayaking trips! These 90 minute kayaking sessions will run on selected Wednesday, Thursdays and Saturdays through March 2023. It's Spring time and that means it's time to get back on the water. Not only will they be great fun, but also a bargain. We want this opportunity to be affordable for as many as possible, so we've price matched it with the cost of the average takeaway Pizza! For this offer only, participants will be charged £12 per person.
These trips will be beginner and family friendly kayaking tours on the River Dee in Chester and our equipment is suitable for participants of all shapes and sizes.
We're here to help you blow away the winter cobwebs and get you out celebrating the natural world from the water. What better way to take in the sights of spring than by kayak? To help you to truly appreciate the natural world on the River Dee, Dee River Kayaking staff will equip you with kayaks, paddles and buoyancy aids and take you out for a fun filled tour of wildlife spotting and wild-life living! The total length of this activity is 90 minutes, inclusive of meet & greet, safety briefings and your kayaking and nature spotting activity. We welcome participants of all abilities and are aged 8 years old or older. First timers are very welcome and will
You will need: A full change of clothes! If cool weather is expected, please bring a set of warm clothes suitable for watersports activity (Think winter gym kit: no jeans, no cotton T-Shirts), and waterproofs to go over the top. If very warm weather is expected then swim shorts and a T-shirt is usually fine! Be sure to bring a change of clothes and a towel! Your boat will not capsize on this trip, but water dripping from your paddle will cause you to have a wet bum and legs at least! All of our activities require participants to wear closed-toe footwear throughout, so you should bring a spare pair of shoes to wear on the way home.
Kids go FREE!
Don’t book a babysitter, just bring the kids with you! Each free under 12 must be accompanied by one full-price paying adult.

Kids Go Free
We all need to do our bit to help the visitor economy recover, so we have decided for the first time in our 40+ history to have a “kids go free” policy on all our public walking tours. We’re hoping this will help cash-strapped families to be able to participate in more things, without having to pay a premium for, or choose between, activities during their visit. Tickets for all our public walking tours will now be priced at £10 per person with up to two under 16s going free per accompanying adult.
Enjoy more family time, less driving time.
Children under 16 travel for FREE on our trains, when accompanied by a fare paying adult. Under 11’s can travel for free any time, under 16’s are only able to travel for free off-peak.
