Back of the net! All you need to do is score more than the other lot. Easy eh? Well not when an inflatable bubble covers you and your mates from top to bottom.

Everyone's a winner with a full-on game of bubble football!

This is football like you've never seen it played before. Dressed in ridiculous inflatable outfits, you and your team must play the ball, defend your goal and triumph over your opponents. The crazy game has swept the country and this is your chance to have an experience you wont forget.

A combination of tank, skateboard and motocross bike, the DTV (Dual Tracked Vehicle) Shredder is the first year-round, all-terrain vehicle. It has two aggressive tank treads, a skateboard deck and a powerful 4-stroke 196cc engine. All this makes it capable of travelling at high speed through sand, snow, trails and even mountainsides.

Riding the DTV Shredder is very similar to riding a jet ski and surprisingly intuitive. This is a full-on experience and you could well be exhausted by the end as you need to use a lot of energy to control the vehicle. You stand up, and rock left and right to control it, using your whole body to balance and steer.

You'll be kitted out in full body protection and given full instructions before you start. Your helmet mounted communications will also give you live instruction as you get to grips with your Shredder. As your confidence increases, you'll be given more challenging obstacles and terrain to try.

This experience gets consistently excellent reviews, as shown by the fact that it is a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award winner. So you can relax, knowing you're in safe hands. Your shredding experience takes place in Frodsham which is 11 miles outside of Chester.

This experience is all about going fast and honing your hovering skills. From your initial instruction briefing, the helpful and enthusiastic staff are on hand to help you master this tricky driving experience. Your safety helmet has built in communications so the instructors can give you live, one to one, help whilst you're flying around the track. Learn how to start and stop, navigate and then race around ponds at full power. Attempt a water start and learn the hover stop - the equivalent of a helicopter flare landing, or a handbrake turn without a handbrake! Then give it everything you've got on the final time trial lap. Who will make it onto the all-time leader board?

This is a super fun activity which everyone can enjoy, and is definitely something you'll be talking about for the rest of the weekend. A unique and exhilarating driving experience, this is a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award winning attraction due to its consistently excellent reviews.

Off road Dirt Buggies are powered by car engines and capable of speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour. You'll be more likely to hit the 40 miles per hour mark, but boy it's going to feel a lot faster! Operated using a manual gearbox, the buggies are the ultimate off road machine which seat 2 people. As a driver you take the buggies out on the off road track with a passenger, then you swap, so you get double the time in the buggy.

Don't underestimate the power of the buggy, you're in for a real driving treat. The course is full of lumps and bumps for you to bounce, climb and jump over, and there are tyres to navigate around. Get those wheels off the ground as you fly around the track. Can you handle the power and keep on track without knocking the tyres down? We know you're going to have great fun trying.
