Took a group of Beaver Scouts aged 6-8 yrs and they all had an amazing time, they were challenged to d things outside of their comfort zone and some of them had never done anything like this before. The staff were excellent making sure that no one was pushed into anything they didn't want to do, she was kind, considerate and a credit to CA. I would recommend this place to any one wanting a great time out with younger kids

My son wasn't able to have a party due to Covid so we booked a morning there with his cousin. The team were very professional, great interaction with the kids of all ages. Safety protocol explained well to the kids and adults. They encouraged the kids whilst they were on equipment and praised them for their courage too. Free tea and coffee for parents which helped in the cold weather! Lovely morning and tired out kids! Gift vouchers brought to use in the new year.

Fantastic fun for all the family. I took my 3 boys a young 6, 8 and 10. There was enough for all of them and the 6 year old gained enough confidence from the staff that he did the power Fan and 3 mtr ropes in about 15 mins. Very well run and the staff are excellent at what they do and encouraging to have a go and not just say no. Definitely will be returning and well worth the money we paid. Great experience.

My son and his two children aged 11 and 13 really enjoyed their time at the Challenge Academy. There were a wide variety of challenges and staff were friendly and supportive, making them feel safe. They highly recommend this venue and will book again here rather than to other high ropes experiences they have tried.

Absolutely amazing place the kids loved it!!!
Came across this place in an ad on Facebook, was a little unsure but when we got there we were well and truly surprised.
Everything was explained to us and the kids who were super excited to get started, safety comes first and this portrays with the professionalism of the staff.
One of the kids was very nervous a guy called Drew was absolutely amazing with her and coaxed her round the 3m course, she was doing it on her own in the end and even managed the zi wire and the power fan a couple of times!!
The other child who was more confident was given challenges to do by a guy called Sam which boosted his confidence too!!
We will definitely be returning the kids haven’t stored talking about since we got back, they both want to smash the 9m.
Sam and Drew you both are totally amazing and thank you so much for making our kids day out epic!!
There’s free tea and coffee too 😊💙

I had a great afternoon at Baggeridge with my 7 year old son and his friend. The team were amazing - full of energy, very encouraging and motivational. They really brought out a confidence in the boys without forcing them to try something that was out of their comfort zone.
It was really well organised and safety was paramount.
I would highly recommend this activity and would love to return to try the other activities we didn’t get to try this afternoon!

Me and the children had the most amazing two hours at challenge academy. The staff were really kind , helpful and encouraged the children to come out there comfort Zone’s and to challenge them to different things to build trust and resilience along with taking the leap of faith off the 9m board.
Cannot wait to come and do it all again .!!

Visited on Good Friday with my 6 year old granddaughter. At first she was a little apprehensive but it starts off on low climbing aspects before going up into the nets. Being the youngest in the group that day she was a little slower that other children but the trainer was patient and sometimes slowed others up to accommodate my granddaughter. She loved it and in particular the last 15 mins we were encouraged to join in too which was great fun. Would highly recommend and will return, especially when she is old enough for the zip lines!!

Great value for money, clear instructions and guidance so take the leap and have fun….I did 😀

Fab 2 hour session. Safety first then loads of fun. Staff were brilliant, very professional and kid friendly, especially when dealing with over excited children. My grandchildren have not stopped talking about it yet! We will need to go again because there is one more to enjoy the experience but he is only 2.3/4, the age is 4. Would highly recommend this facility, brilliant session. We stayed for the full 2 hours, I couldnt get them off lol.

From minute one you feel as if you are in a very professional outfit. We traveled from Lincoln for my boys to have the experience, and it was certainly worth every mile. Extremely professional staff took control straight away and not once did that level slip. Whilst busy taking pictures, the staff took my boys through everything that was open to them and what they could manage. At the end my boys turned around and said 'best day ever' says it all really. Thanks to Mel, Sam and the rest of the staff. 5 star.
