The Bear Grylls Adventure Birmingham

What makes us a great choice for education?

Team building, self-esteem, resilience, empathy, and confidence are all essential qualities your students need to thrive. And at Bear Grylls Adventure, this is just the beginning...

At a day out at our adventure theme park, students will learn about how to work as part of a team, in order to achieve their personal goals. They can experience both physical and mental challenges that push them out of their comfort zone and try something new, in a fun and safe environment.

‘All that said we are coming back next year!!’ – Secondary School Teacher

‘Many thanks for your email. We had a fabulous time last Monday. Both the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves- they all (including me!) wanted to stay longer! So, the good points were the staff - very friendly and accommodating. They were great with the children and staff. The facilities were excellent and safe’ – Assistant Head Teacher
