Jungle Parc — Local services in Irchester

Really great little stop here. Didn’t take many photos today though. Parking was £3.50 for the day (12 hours). Pay by card, phone, cash option was available too. There is a nice little food outlet (serving sausage rolls, bacon, burgers, hot and cold drinks, ice cream etc), a ranger area, outbuildings and toilets. There are a couple of car parks too (reasonable size) they were full today. There is a children’s adventure park, for small to young children/early teens. Plenty of benches and seating areas, a large playing field area too. We went on one of the small walks which was nice, large and small pathways (some through the woods too). You can download maps for free via the website too for each route. Phone signal was okay at the main compound.

Jungle Parc is right next to the same location too and car park on the right of the main compound. Here there is a child’s adventure rope climb (age and height limits so check before you go), the younger one needs a adult to supervise and help them from the ground as they go round, this was £15 for 1.5 hours, and you could go as many times as you want on the different level routes in this area). My youngest completed all the routes a few times and really enjoyed it! You can also enter this area with dogs and walk them along under the route whilst supervising. The bigger course was good fun, with a couple route options, where on a few occasions you can choose to go to the more extreme route, which is a little more challenging and fun. this was £25 each, but I think you can get a family of 4 discount too. Children aged 10-14 (I think) must be accompanied by an adult on the ropes. If you’re going in larger groups, 1 paying adult per 5 children I think I overheard.

From our perspective today, well worth a trip when the weather is okay, and plenty of walks to do, lots of area to sit and chill, plenty for the...

Good course, great for kids.

We booked for a few months ago, weather was bad on the day and had been forecast bad weather for a few days. I tried calling, and couldn't get through or an answer, we didn't hear nothing so assumed it was still going ahead. Drove 30mins, paid for parking to be then told it was cancelled. Staff on-site where nice about it on the day. Was told to contact head office because we didn't have a new date in mind just yet, Maria at head office was bit rude and lied. The staff at the parc said people had been told during the week that everything had been cancelled and they didn't have contact details for us as their new system had deleted them all but the email Maria sent said the opposit (see attached). Never got a response from my 2nd email, very bad customer service, won't be using...

I took my 5 year old daughter here and to begin with she was having a great time the instructor was very informative and the instructions were very easy to follow. How ever on the rocket feature, when it came to a halt on the other side my daughters head banged up against the frame inside the rocket leaving her with a nasty bump and swelling. The staff were helpful in the way that they provided ice packs but on the other hand they were quite cold and unapologetic about what had happened. I had to suggest that they complete an accident form, otherwise I’m sure they wouldn’t have bothered, which for me was quite concerning. For this reason we will not be returning. Health & safety not great … I just feel like they could have been more concerned about my daughters welfare...
