    Absolutely incredible morning spent at the water activity. Went with my two boys (6 and 9) both fairly strong swimmers. But to be honest the buoyancy aids they give you are top quality so not so strong swimmers will feel fine. Lifeguards were excellent with a detailed safety brief each time. Lots of fun activities and both boys were shattered by the end of it, but with huge smiles 😃

    Great place for some family fun, we went and did the mud run, kids and husband had a fantastic time (I was the photographer) spectators can follow the course around, you are left to it so their is no time pressure and you can repeat the obstacles you enjoyed the most. For women, I'd say wear an old bikini or somthing under your clothes so at the showers you can strip off abit to try and wash off better. You rinse in a stream first then the showers but you will not get it all off. Wear old clothes you are happy to just bin. Some lads had football boots on too, seemed a good idea, as you can imagine it's very slippy 😂 The showers and changing is all very open so don't plan a nice meal out or something after, you will definitely need to go home and clean properly. We are coming back this week to do the water one.

    This is such a great place! We have been a few times now and everyone in the family loves it! The staff are great and so knowledgeable, and there is always so many that it's always felt very professional and safe! The most recent visit was for my sons 12th birthday and they had an absolute ball!!! Thanks to everyone involved!!

    The mud run was so much fun! Not many people supervising, would have preferred some guides around the place motivating us on. Facilities are grim! I get there is a lot of mud around the place but the smells and state of the toilets was more lack of hygiene than mud. Could do with a few more showers at the end too Would do it again though!

    This place is great. The staff really make it. Big shout out to Ludo. As a parent watching from the sideline it was great to see him being such a sport with the kids and making sure they got the most out of their time on the water! We also did the mud trail with the kids the year before and they loved every second. Facilities are exactly what you need and the setting is fantastic. Great value and a great day out.

    Me and 9 others came here on a hen weekend and had such a fun time! We did the water course and the mud trail and it was the perfect ice breaker for a group of strangers, as well as super entertaining. The staff were friendly and helpful and good at accommodating us. If you're considering coming here, DO!!!

    Me and my Family come here every year when we are camping in corfe castle, the lifeguards are amazing and so interactive, the staff are bubbly and friendly and don’t make you feel like a nuisance if you have an issue. We always get food after as well and the burgers and chips are to die for!! We are usually disappointed by food at places like this but this place never lets us down, as well as a Cornish ice cream for pudding after!! We always purchase the photos every year as well, the photographers always do such a good shop and they are such nice memories to look back on. Great value for money too if you buy them on the day. Couldn’t recommend this place more!!

    We have had two lovely days here. Day 1 getting very muddy on Mud Trail. Kids gave it a 10/10. It was certainly more muddy than we expected but this just added to the fun. Day 2 on the water park. Both lakes are incredibly fun. The staff are very friendly and professional. 100% recommend. 👍

    From start to finish this place was absolutely the best. The whole family had an absolute blast here. The site is nestled in an lush wooded spot by Corfe Castle. Parking an absolute doddle. All the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Toilets and changing rooms all clean and tidy. The inflatables on the ponds were brilliant fun. Again everything was clean, maintained and well supervised by life guards at all times. Quite honestly this place is writing the text book on how to do things right. Good job Team Dorset Adventure Park. We salute you all!! See you again next summer.

    Went here not long ago (mud trail and the waterpark) the staff were really lovely and professional. Lifeguards were commonly situated and everyone collaborated to make this a safe place for adults and kids alike. Thank you!

    Daughter went for a party here. Was very good and had everything you'd need (parking, food, showers), though take spare clothes, towels and a plastic bag. The food was nice and the seating areas for the parties were generous.

    Took my wife 10 8 and 6 year old and they loved it! Even my wife who isn't really into this type of thing. The kit was comfy and kept us warm. OK changing facilities. But the inflatables were great for 7+ year olds. They were tricky for a 6 year old. But just meant I stayed close to him, which was super fun. Life guards were really good communicators and did great briefings and fun support during the event. Felt really safe secure and fun. 1 hour seemed short, but I was toast after 50 minutes so perfect timing. Kids are really keen to go again. Thanks guys.

    Did the mud run here and really enjoyed it, great fun. The obstacles were not too challenging but we certainly got muddy! The staff were all lovely and it was great to be able to warm up with a cup of coffee and a bacon roll. Facilities were basic but covered everything that was needed. Definitely recommended.

    Fantastic activity center, polite and helpful staff, clean and well signposted facilities. The mud course was fun for all ages with appropriate levels of challenge. Easy to find and plenty of parking nice to have free drinking water tap as well. Only complaint is the cost of the photos but that's not really what the day was about.

    Great Afternoon. 4pm session, which was quite quiet with 21 people so ideal time to go. Ludo and Poppy were excellent and very helpful. Will definitely be going again!!

    So so scared of water at this time. I don't know how to swim but I was glad I took part. The staffs here are very welcoming and went an extra mile to make life easier for myself, team and also young people present. Harrison was amazing on the day to allow me wear the swimming slippers,😊 5 stars

    We did both the water inflatables and the mud trail, I have never laughed so much! Suitable for children and adults. Brilliant day out!

    A pleasant day for the teenage sons. Plenty of mud on the mud trail. Parents were enjoying watching the younger ones getting thoroughly covered. My sons enjoyed the waterpark aspect of the visit more. Just enough time in each area (30 mins each) to keep them amused. Very busy when the weather is good. Booking in advance essential when this is the case. Bring a picnic to avoid buying on site.

    One advice to everyone, If you are worried to arrive to early, actually you are already late. Other than that it was an absolute blast and would definitely come back only next time allow ourselves more time in advance to get changed and setup. Thank You DAP and a team!

  • 5/5 Jo N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Family fun day out. Our boys have had so much fun and are now sleeping in the back of the car on the way home. Need to be fit and water confident but water buoyancy jackets are supplied. Will definitely be back again and to try the mud trail which looked like so much fun. Well worth the money for the fun and laughter we've had.

  • 5/5 Nick M. 4 years ago on Google
    The staff are fantastic, very welcoming, we have been going for the last three years. They are one of a very few water parks who allow their instructors to interact with the customers - and by that I mean, you can push them in but they will push you back - all very nice natured though..! Would thoroughly recommend. There are two lakes with different types of water obstacles plus they have a muddy trail obstacle course, if water isn't your thing. Try it all out, you won't be let down.

  • 5/5 Liam B. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic day out! We went for a 7 year olds party. Kids ranging from 5 to 14 and all the parents too. The parents had as much fun as the kids. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Andrea P. 8 months ago on Google
    We have been here a few times before but this year we noticed that a few changes have been made. You have to collect your wetsuits then walk down to the briefing area before entering the water. You get 30 minutes on one piece of floating apparatus and then 30 minutes on the other. It is well organised and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to burn off steam and afterwards you will certainly sleep well as it is very tiring after an hour of clambering around in and out of the water. You can hire wetsuits which we have done, we have also worn our own, but this year it was hot and we went in wearing shorts and t shirts. You can wear rubber swim shoes or buy grippy socks for £2.50. The socks are a good buy as they are very very grippy and also they wash up well.

    Absolutely amazing! The staff are amazing! My children enjoyed both courses so much! So much fun! I would definitely recommend it.
