Adventure Play at Blenheim Palace


  • Country Child Ltd UK (map)

Every day of summer is an opportunity for children of all abilities from the ages of 2 to 12 to embark on a new quest when you plan a trip to Blenheim Palace’s new £3.6 million immersive outdoor experience.

A visit to Adventure Play involves a new quest every day for mini-explorers to immerse themselves in a different world and free their imaginations and to spark inspiration, Blenheim Palace has launched an interactive map for families to start planning their quests today.

Top 10 summer quest adventures include:

  • Zip line through the wilderness

  • Navigate the vegetable patch via the potting shed 

  • Climb giant colourful carrots and sunflowers

  • Wander through the sensory musical walk

  • Make a splash in the winding river balancing on stepping stones 

  • Be mesmerised by the golden ball 

  • Shoot down the fireman’s pole of the Great Gates

  • Chill out in the giant hammock net

  • Clamber up the spider web

  • Take in the views from the Boathouse balcony 

Located within the historic Walled Garden and covering a site larger than a football pitch, families can enjoy a dedicated 3-hour slot at the hidden world of adventure featuring a series of immersive interconnecting zones; the perfect basis for imaginative play.

Celebrating the rich heritage of the 18th century baroque Palace, Adventure Play is inspired by real-life features including the lakeside Boat House and Hensington Gateway.
