Deep in the forest of Les Ormes lies a paradise for kids and adults. Clamber over climbing frames, slide down ropes and practice your aim.
Rope swings, zip lines and nature trails wind through the dense forest of Valley Adventure Centre. The site has an array of exciting activities, from paintball to climbing to archery. Zoom down the wires and ropes of this fun compound to experience the island forest at top speeds.
Conquer your fear of heights on the Aerial Trekking experience. It’s suitable for older kids and consists of 26 obstacles, culminating in a 39-foot (12-meter) simulated free-fall drop. Take the little ones on Rookie Trekking, a maze of tunnels, hanging tires and bridges just 3 feet (1 meter) off the ground.
Climb to the platforms nestled within the forest and race down the zip lines in a harness. The King Swing is one of the largest swings on the island. Learn to shoot arrows in the Archery section and test your mental and physical abilities in the Climbing area.
Among the main attractions for older kids and adults is Paintball, where you can take aim at your friends and enemies. Let younger kids play Splatmaster, a child-friendly version of Paintball, with tactical challenges and missions. Don’t forget the Laser Combat area, which uses replicas of real weapons.
Purchase hot and cold beverages at the center, but make sure to bring your own snacks. The complex’s natural greenery and seclusion offer an idyllic picnic destination.
Check the variety of prices. Pre-book online for the best rates. Use the free parking in Les Ormes. The complex is an ideal spot for team-building work trips, youth clubs and birthday parties. Wear appropriate clothing for harnessed activities, with sneakers and long shorts or pants.
Valley Adventure Centre lies on the southern side of the Jersey Airport in the southwestern corner of the island. Walk north from the heart of St. Brelade to reach the site in 15 minutes. While in the region, visit Pont Marquet Country Park, Les Mielles Golf & Country Club and La Moye Golf Club.
