2026 Rufford Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

We visited Adrenalin Jungle this weekend to celebrate my son's birthday. He and 10 friends had an amazing time with the gel blasters! The hosts, Martyn and Blake, were excellent with the kids and ensured that all safety rules were strictly followed. There were plenty of games played with the gel blasters, which the kids absolutely adored, along with a couple of dads who joined in. Several children even told my son it was the best party they'd attended! Highly recommend Adrenalin Jungle for activities suitable for all ages; we’ll definitely be recommending it and returning soon!

Don is an incredible host! He made us feel comfortable right away, provided clear instructions, and guided us through the exciting activities. Not even the rainy weather could spoil the day. I highly recommend this activity center—it's exceptionally well-organized and loads of fun.
