Testimonials

Fantastic!

Sign up. Right now. This place is amazing and the kids have so much fun. My son came home every single day, raving about his adventures and super proud of himself. He was unable to pick a favourite thing because in his words, he loved it all, but he was delighted to conquer his fear of abseiling. Brilliant camp with really encouraging coaches. Seriously, just sign up!

Fun Family Day Out

We went for an archery lesson as a family of four with two kids and had a fab time trying something new together. Just the right length to keep the kids interested. Looking forward to doing it again!

Happy and exhausted children guaranteed

My child attended West End Adventure's Adventure Week and loved every single moment of it. She had the most fabulous instructor who guided the children through a wide range of activities, and made new friends and learned new skills...I am very glad to have found this place.

Kayaking on the Canal!

I booked a kayaking session on a whim and had a totally brilliant time bobbing around in the canal at Maryhill Locks. Andrew the instructor was great and organised games which improved our kayaking skills (I was a total beginner) but also let us do our own thing. I'd highly recommend it, and will be back for more this summer.
