What does your venue offer for school trips
FunParx Basildon will inject some high-energy fun and active learning into your school calendar.
A trip to FunParx Basildon is the ultimate way to reward your students while effortlessly meeting those key Physical Education (P.E.) objectives.
This isn’t just an outing; it’s a full-throttle adventure across a massive indoor space featuring four incredible activity zones. Your class can test their agility and resilience on the Inflatable Ninja Course, defy gravity in our Inflatable Slides and Super Slide, and for the younger ones, burn off energy in the multi-storey Soft Play. We also Festival Ally where we offer various free to play festival style games.
We even have a Free-to-Play Retro Arcade for a fun, cooperative cool-down. It’s the perfect environment to get hearts pumping and minds engaged, all under one roof.
We also have more adult themed area offering Darts / Pool / Shuffle board / Air Hockey
Facilities at Funparx are designed to deliver crucial educational benefits. Students will naturally improve their physical fitness, develop coordination, and enhance their team building and social skills as they navigate the challenging obstacles together. Whether you’re looking for a fun-packed reward trip, a different approach to your P.E. lessons, or a way to encourage peer support, the activities here provide a dynamic, real-world application of problem-solving and perseverance.
We aim to make your planning easy by providing all the necessary risk assessment information, ensuring a safe, memorable, and beneficial day out for your entire class.
What makes you a great choice for educational visits
Our school trip package focuses on active learning and providing tangible links to the English Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) in P.E.
Typically, a school booking grants your educational group full access to the park’s main zones, including the Inflatable Ninja Courses, the Inflatable Slides / Airpark, and the Multi-Storey Soft Play area (for younger pupils).
These activities are specifically designed to be highly physical, helping students develop essential motor skills like agility, coordination, balance, and endurance, while also encouraging them to face challenges and build resilience—all core components of the P.E. curriculum.
Unlike standard classroom lessons, this provides a dynamic, non-traditional environment for fitness that caters to a wide range of abilities.
Beyond physical benefits, the environment is excellent for nurturing soft skills crucial for classroom and future success. As students work their way through the courses, they naturally develop teamwork and social skills by encouraging and assisting their peers. The experience boosts self-esteem by giving them immediate, tangible success after conquering a challenging obstacle.
For teachers, the package includes practical support, such as a provided Risk Assessment document and dedicated time slots, ensuring a safe and stress-free trip planning process. This makes FunParx an ideal choice for a purposeful P.E. session, a powerful reward day, or a memorable whole-class outing.
