Big Kids’ Day Out in Leeds

Let’s face it, we’re all big kids at heart, and that’s because it’s way more fun being a kid (minus the copious drinking and staying out for as long as we like).

Call us immature but we’d much rather get stuck in to a game of bubble football than sit at a posh dinner table with real ‘grown ups’, talking about interest rates, wine and relationships – because the best relationships involve mucking about with your mates!

That’s why we’ve put together a list of fun, exciting and totally childish things we’d unashamedly love to do in Leeds.

As well as laser tag, Hazlewood Castle also offer body zorbing – probably the single-coolest thing anybody has thought of doing with plastic.
