Center Parcs Longleat Forest is taking family adventures to new heights
Center Parcs is launching a new treetop experience at Longleat Forest, Wiltshire. Launching in time for the summer holidays on Tuesday, July 1, Adventure Nets will combine family fun with the great outdoors where children and their parents can bounce, balance, leap and climb through the redwood canopy.
The attraction features a series of treehouses connected by a network of suspended nets seven meters in the air where guests will have to navigate their way through tunnels, rope bridges, and a trampoline area.
Exclusive to Center Parcs, the Adventure Nets course also includes TAG Active technology, where guests will be able to use a wristband to 'tag' beacons around the course and play TAG games such as treasure hunts during their hour-long session.

Nicole said the highlights of the holiday park for her kids were the football pitch, the park and the live entertainment in the evenings - along with the games room. And if this wasn't enough, she shared how you can explore many exciting options nearby, including Windermere, seeing caves and going on walks. 6 The holiday park as a soft play in the restaurant to keep kids entertained Credit: supplied 6 Nicole claimed the location felt like she was 'abroad' Credit: supplied She said she would '100 per cent' recommend the holiday park as a 'perfect break away in the UK.'

However, one wrote: 'Love to see my kids face when he sees that pool and I have to explain to him there's no way machine no rapids no cyclone. 'But you can have a little paddle if you like.' A weekend break at Center Parcs can vary significantly in price, but typically ranges from £499 to £949 or more, depending on the time of year.

A weekend break at Center Parcs can vary significantly in price, but typically ranges from £499 to £949 or more, depending on the time of year. IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
