RedKangaroo Trampoline Park Nottingham

A vast hangar full of trampolines and foam pits - RedKangaroo is the sort of place that makes kids' eyes light up before they've even walked through the door. It's pure kinetic energy: rows of interconnected trampolines, dodgeball courts, basketball hoops suspended over bounce zones, and enough padded surfaces to make even the clumsiest jumper feel fearless.

You'll want to budget at least two hours here, though hyperactive children will happily stay longer. The place works best for ages four upwards - toddlers find it overwhelming, teenagers get bored once they've mastered the tricks. Parents can watch from the sidelines, which is the smart move after a few minutes of bouncing yourself.

It's the perfect rainy-day rescue for a Nottinghamshire holiday. Bleinheim Farm Campsite is practically on the doorstep at just 0.2 miles away, making it ideal if you're basing yourself there and the weather turns grim. Even Meadow View Glamping at 5.5 miles isn't far enough to rule it out as an afternoon activity.

Bring socks - it's a strict requirement - and arrive early on weekends or you'll queue. Summer holiday mornings are rammed. It's not cheap, mind you, but for burning off serious energy on a wet Tuesday, you could do worse. The foam pits are genuinely good fun, and the staff keep things moving without being fussy.
