Happy Mount Park
A proper old-fashioned seaside park: the splash park is the summer draw, with trampolines, adventure golf and a cafe for the flask-and-chips crowd. Pair it with an ice cream on the prom.
Jump Rush
Morecambe, Lancashire
Jump Rush sits just off Morecambe's Central Promenade next to the station, which makes it the obvious plan B when the bay disappears into drizzle. There are over 100 trampolines including wall beds and tumble beds, an airbag you can reach by a launch trampoline, a tumble track or a 2 metre tower, battle beams, a reaction wall, a traverse wall, a half pipe, a soccer zone and the Inflatarush, a 6 metre tower climb with a freefall slide.
Under 4s get their own mini soft play and Minis sessions, and there are disability-friendly sessions too. Standard prices are not published outside the booking system, which makes comparing hard, but the advertised deals give a sense: £6 sessions after 4pm on Super Sundays, and £15 for an hour's jumping plus a game of laser tag at Laser Rush, the operator's laser venue a couple of minutes' walk away.
Allow 20 minutes before your slot for check-in and the safety briefing, and sign the waiver in advance. The cafe does panini, pizza, slush and kids' meal deals, and adults who only watch are free. School holiday hours are longer, from 9 or 10 in the morning every day.
What it costs: Standard session prices are only shown in the booking system. Advertised deals: Super Sundays £6 after 4pm, an hour's jumping plus a game of laser tag at the sister venue for £15, and the three hour Saturday Jumpathon from £19.95. Spectating adults are free. Jump Rush socks are compulsory.
Know before you go
- Enter your car registration at check-in for three free hours of parking. Otherwise the car park only gives you five minutes to drop off, and the parking firm does issue penalties.
- Minis sessions for 4 and under run 11 to 2 on Thursdays and Fridays in term time, with biscuits and juice included. Family Bounce is 10 to 11 at weekends.
- In term time it is closed Monday and Tuesday and opens only 4 to 7 on Wednesdays. Holiday hours are longer.
Worth knowing: Minis sessions for 4 and under; main sessions 4+.

The Stone Jetty & Eric Morecambe Statue
Morecambe's free seafront hour: walk the 1853 jetty past steel bird sculptures and pavement games, then get the photo at the Eric Morecambe statue on the prom. On a clear day the Lake District sits across the bay.
Heysham Coast and St Patrick's Chapel
Eight body shaped graves cut straight into the rock beside a ruined eighth century chapel, on a National Trust headland above Morecambe Bay. Free, but the paths are steep and cobbled and no friend of a pushchair.
