Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park — Local services in Skipwith

Booked a VIP experience here, last year. However, due to illness, we had to postpone until today. The owner was absolutely understanding and couldn’t have accommodated us more - not every centre would have done the same! Then we had to change dates again, due to an unexpected family visit and again the centre accommodated our needs. Therefore, I could not recommend the owners more 10/10 🌟

When all is booked you get so much helpful literature, which again is not the same as some venues. And confirmation is prompt, with helpful 3 words, to get there and not lost. However, my daughter did get lost, because her car is big and she didn’t see the sign, but the staff helped her get there quickly and safely ❤️ 10/10 🌟

Health and safely was a must and it was gone through at an age appropriate way. The staff didn’t mind how many times people asked questions, or how many times they had to go over/break things down, they were still happy and helpful. Some places it is once and then dismissed; even if it’s not been understood. 10/10 🌟

Unlike most activity centres, for lunch it’s either burger, hotdog, or something similar - with a vegetarian option too! I’ve been to many different centres and the options have always been a pit noodle! The hotdog isn’t a small one either and fills you up nicely. It’s all wrapped in a special bag, so it’s piping hot on delivery - unlike many venues. 10/10🌟

I could not praise the entertainment staff more. They were really bubbly and extremely helpful; trying to give the birthday person as much of a special day, as they could - with Lots of little hidden extra treats. Every member of staff went out of their way, to make the day as special and enjoyable as it could ever have been. The rain didn’t even affect any enjoyment! 10/10 🌟

The centre doesn’t only do paintballing, but also, axe throwing; lasers quest; archery and special monthly/seasonal events. Please check out their website for more details!

If I was to say anything that could be improved upon, it would be a bigger sign (in both directions) and photos/footage that you could purchase on the day. ❤️

Everyone had a fantastic time, from the young, to the older ones! The workers really worked hard, to make this possible and it really paid off! 🥇 10/10

The girls were scared, that the balls would hurt, as they have in the past. But, this centre follows every guideline and has a specialist team, that check the equipments pressure, to make that the ball don’t hurt. Again, not like every other venue, which can leave you covered in bruises! 10/10 🌟

If you’re thinking of a special event: stags and hens; gender reveal; birthday parties; or just a fun day out, then this is the Place for you and it’s easy to get to! 10/10🌟

Thank you guys, for helping us make beautiful...

Fantastic venue. Booked and attended for an 11 year olds party with a mix of boys and girls, and 2 younger players aged 6.

Game - We opted for Laser which is played in the smaller secure gaming map making it ideal for the younger children. They played team challenged and quests, all kids loved it. The game is supervised by an instructor. Our kids just wore trainers and ordinary day clothing, and that suited despite a weeks worth of rain prior to the party. The lis even took their coats off despite it being chilly as they were hot running around.

Venue- the atmosphere is epic. Individually designed party rooms that need no party decor simply because the are fantastic without any. A military theme throughout with fluorescent paint and the odd zombies lurking. Party rooms are undercover which makes it great for wet weather.

Facilities- outdoor porter loos, indoor cafe which is well stocked with hot and cold drinks and food. They take cash or card. Food is good value. There is picnic bench seating inside for all, or you can stay in the party room while your kids play. You can go outside to watch and take pictures of the kids playing.

Party food- the children get a minimum of 2 pizza slices, 1 hot dog, crisps and chocolate bars with cold fruit drinks or water. They catered for those gluton intoleranant, although this limits the child to two slices of gluton free pizza, so do bring snacks to add to your child's meal. There was enough hotdogs and pizza left for children to either have an extra pizza slice or hotdog in a party of 13 kids. The food room is a 2nd party room your kids have sole use of, and this is decorated differently, so in essence you get the run of two themed rooms.

Cost - amazing value. For 12 kids with food playing laser it is £160. If an extra child turns up on the day, you can include them for the game and food for an additional £12.50 per child. The venue can accommodate upto 18 as a child party. This resolves the issue of when someone forgets to rsvp.

Other info - there is adequate parking.

Staff - eager to help, well organised, engaging and friendly, and that's all the staff. They are a fantastic team - thank you for making the Benson party the best party ever.

Closing points- it was epic, best party venue ever. Great atmosphere, lovely surroundings. We will be back. Very safe and secure, very well organised. Id be happy to bring a party of primary year 1s to this venue. Its great for this age and above, and for a parents day out with friends. We...

What an amazing site! Recently booked a children's nerf party for my son's birthday, everything was taken care of. We showed up and was looked after right from the start. The two marshals looking after us took us around the play zones, kept the kids safe and we had an amazing run around in the snow, played a few games then taken into a bunker with a heater to keep us warm with a party table all set up. Hot food, pizza and hotdogs, served to help warm us and fill our grumbling tummys after the fun filled morning running around shooting darts at one another. After a nice loud singing of happy birthday we were thoroughly exhausted. Back to the car for the kids to be excitedly chatting about who shot who and how they'd love to go again.

Would recommend to anyone wanting an amazing fun filled day whatever age!

Laser tag, nerf or paintball this site is well equipped for it all, try it, you won't be...
