Autumn and Winter at NYWP
We have fun activities for all the family across our site, including new for this season: Laser Tag. Why not try your hand at Archery or Axe Throwing in Adventure Wood? Or maybe you’re more inclined to take a jump off the Zip Tower and glide across our lake.
Come rain or shine, we have activities to suit all abilities. Not only do we have land and water activities available throughout the year, but we also have picturesque walks and our dog-friendly cafe to enjoy.
Our Puzzle Rooms and Bombardment (NYWP’s challenging Escape Room) are great indoor fun for groups and families alike.
Keep an eye out for all our special events coming up.
