Wyre Estuary Country Park
Free parking, a cafe, two natural play areas and miles of riverbank on the Wyre estuary. The no-cost, no-planning option on the Fylde coast when the seafront is too much.

Adventure Play & Bowl added a soft play and Ninja Tag zone to its UV tenpin bowling alley in August 2026. There is a baby and toddler area with a ball pit for 0 to 4s, a junior zone for 5 to 12s with a multi-level climbing frame and a giant multi-lane wavy slide, a sensory room with bubble tubes and mirrors, and role play shops including a market, a garage and a potting shed.
Ninja Tag is the bit for bigger kids: a timed obstacle course with a warped wall, ropes and light-up targets, for 5 to 12s. It costs £3.50 for a wristband on top of a play session and gives you 30 minutes. The play session price itself is only in the booking system. Everyone wears socks, adults too, and outside food is not allowed; FBKafe does drinks and light bites.
It is open 9am to 7pm every day, and the bowling in the same building makes it an easy one for a mixed-age family.
What it costs: Adventure Play session prices are only shown in the online booking system. Ninja Tag is a £3.50 wristband bought at reception for a 30 minute go during a play session. Bowling is booked separately.
Worth knowing: Ninja Tag is for 5 to 12.
