With the launch of the new Kidzworld, St Austell in Cornwall has a new premier attraction which offers the best play opportunities to both holiday makers and locals.

Kidzworld capitalises on traditional play, with no height restrictions on any of their equipment children of all ages, along with adults can make the most of the fun. Alongside indoor play facilities, Kidzworld also boasts new extensive outdoor play, provided exclusively by Timberplay.
Sand and water tops the bill within ‘Smugglers Cove, an enormous play area, which unlike the nearby beach is not at the mercy of the weather as it is constructed undercover. Children can attempt to move water uphill using an array of pumps and channels. Alongside this is the ‘Treetop Scramble’, a bespoke play ground which challenges visitors to negotiate the wobbly walkways to reach the steel tunnel slide. Chris Webster, on the Managing Board at Kidzworld comments: “Kidzworld wishes to establish itself as premier attraction brand for young families in the south west. We specifically wanted a installation where adults can participate and share in all of the activities with their children The quality of the construction, design and play value were key criteria in the selection of Timber Play for this new content.”
Alongside these play facilities Kidzworld also has dedicated baby and toddler areas, cannon blasters, dodgems, mini golf and a choice of super fast slides.
Timberplay are increasingly working with leisure and tourist attractions to create play areas which attract visitors, drive repeat business and increase visitor dwell time. As a supplementary activity, high quality play areas can entertain children and adults for significant periods of time. Without the need for queuing or staffing and maintenance costs, play areas prove an appealing attraction addition for both managers and visitors alike. (www.timberplay.com)
