Elsewhere on this, you can read about other inflatable-themed things that take place in Guildford at one point or another. Perhaps there is a penchant for inflatable items in the town that means that the companies who run such blow-up events are keen to get to the area whenever possible. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, the Action Arena is the ideal thing to get involved in if you’ve got a young one or a group of young people that you’d like to keep occupied for a period of time. There are two different sizes of Arenas on offer in Guildford too, which is ideal.
What Is the Action Arena?
Put as simply as possible, the Action Arena is an inflatable obstacle course filled with numerous different things to offer young people an adventure they’re likely to remember for a long time. One of the key bits of information that you’ll want to bear in mind is that the Action Arena is for people of varying fitness levels and abilities. Whilst obviously everyone will know their own levels when it comes to being able to make it around the course and to cope with the challenges they’re presented with, the whole point is that this is a course that is designed to be taken on at your own pace.
If you have a specific medical condition, such as a weak heart or problems with your knees, back, or your joints in general, then obviously it isn’t really for you. Similarly, people with previously broken bones or those who are pregnant may want to think twice about taking on the course. It is an inflatable obstacle course, so there are clearly going to be inherent risks to participating that you will want to think about before committing yourself. It is meant to be a fun activity, though, so if you think that either you or your kids taking on a bouncy agility course sounds good, then you’ll be welcomed.
Two Different Courses
When the Action Arena arrives at Stoke Park in Guildford, you will soon notice that there are two different courses on offer. You need to make sure that you pick the right one for those involved in your party. The Mini Action Arena is, as the name suggests, aimed at those who are younger and smaller. It is for kids aged between two and seven years of age, putting a compact 160-foot obstacle course in front of them and asking them to get involved in the challenge it presents. There are four different zones on offer, each promising its own enchanting and captivating theme.
Whether it be taking on daring obstacles or smashing through the exciting challenges on offer, it is a great chance to get some energy off your little ones when it’s most needed. Of course, one of the key things that you will need to think about before sending your child or the child you’re in charge of off into the inflatable fun is that parents and guardians aren’t able to go on to the course. If you know that the person that you’re in charge of is likely to be scared or want you to head in to help them out, then you need to remember that you won’t be allowed to.
If you have older people in your charge or you think this sounds like great fun for yourself, the Action Arena XXL is where you’ll be wanting to go. Those under 1.2 metres tall will be on the Mini Action Arena, meaning that those above that height will be heading into the XXL variation and taking on the challenges within. Everyone, regardless of which variation of the Action Arena they head into, will have an hour to take on the course and get involved in the fun and excitement. There are a myriad of obstacles on offer in the XXL course, so you can take them all on.
The Action Arena XXL is based over 600 feet, promising a labyrinth of brilliance. Each of the obstacles offers its own test of the skill and determination of the participant. Whether you’re required to navigate over towering inflatable structures or dodge through weaving passages, there are numerous different adrenaline-fuelled thrills that you will be able to get involved with. It is the biggest touring inflatable obstacle course that the UK has to offer, so Guildford is likely to be buzzing with excitement when the people behind it arrive and start to inflate it.
Things to Think About
If you think it sounds like a great way for either you or some young people under your care to spend some time, then you’ll want to get along to Stoke Park during the days that the Action Arena is in town. There are some things you might want to think about before then, though. For starters, this isn’t the sort of thing that will be stopped because of rain. In fact, there is an argument that the entire thing is a bit more fun when it rains, given the fact that the inflatable obstacles become slippery and even harder to negotiate, so don’t expect to be given a rain-check in the event that the clouds open over Guildford.
Things are slightly different in the event of high winds. Should there be a sense that there is a potential health and safety risk, then sessions will be cancelled and pre-booked slots refunded. If you aren’t sure one way or the other, then the best thing to do is to get in touch with the company and ask them what is happening. There are official photographers and videographers who will head onto the course and take photos that you can then pay for as an amazing souvenir, which will no doubt be much better than whatever photos you’ll be able to take from the sidelines.
