Soar Trampoline Park

You're bouncing eight feet in the air, socks sliding slightly on the trampoline surface, when you realise this beats a rainy afternoon at the soft play any day. Soar Trampoline Park sits just outside Maidstone and is exactly what it sounds like - rows of interconnected trampolines in a warehouse space where gravity becomes optional for a few hours.

The place works brilliantly for anyone aged roughly five upwards. Kids burn energy at an alarming rate. Teenagers actually want to be there. Adults find it's harder than it looks - your calves will remind you about it for days. The setup includes standard bounce areas, foam pits, and usually some dodgeball courts if you want competition. A session typically runs 60 minutes, though first-timers should budget extra time for the safety briefing and getting the hang of it all.

It's the sort of activity that slots perfectly into a holiday park stay in the area. Oak View Holiday Park and Kits Coty Glamping are both within easy reach, so you can use this as a halfway-point wet weather plan or a proper afternoon out. Book ahead though - weekend sessions fill quickly, especially during school holidays.

Take socks. Seriously. And maybe stretch beforehand if you're pretending you're still as fit as you were at twenty. It's good fun without being a full day commitment, which means you'll have time to explore the rest of what Maidstone and Kent have to offer.
