8 Best Adventure Days Out In Lincolnshire
Four of these eight are Treasure Trails: printed puzzle routes you follow round a town, not places you drive to and go into. One of them, The Rutland Water Treasure Trail, is named for a reservoir that is not in this county at all, which shows how loosely a trail attaches to the place it is filed under. The genuine venues number four. Wild Pines Park tops the page on rating, Go Ape Normanby Hall is the high-ropes entry, Tattershall Lakes Country Park the lakeside one and Kids World Skegness the indoor one.

Judge the two halves separately and the list makes more sense. A trail suits a child of roughly eight upwards who will keep at a set of clues for an afternoon, and it turns a town you were visiting anyway into a day with a shape to it. The four venues are the ones that carry a day on their own, and they are wildly unalike: ropes in parkland, water and open ground, and a play centre on the coast for when the wind comes in off the sea.
Adventure Days Out in Lincolnshire: FAQs
Why is a trail from another county on this list?
Because a trail is a booklet rather than a building, its location is recorded as whatever the publisher wrote, and our filing follows that. The Rutland Water Treasure Trail is the one to watch for here. It does not make the trail bad, but it does mean the county heading is not a promise about where you will be walking. Check the starting point before you set off, particularly if the drive was the deciding factor in choosing it.
Our eldest wants something genuinely testing.
Go Ape Normanby Hall is the only entry here built around height and effort, so if the request is for something genuinely testing, that is the answer and the age and height rules on its own page are the first thing to read. Wild Pines Park is rated best of the eight and flagged outdoor, making it the other serious contender for an active day. Neither is somewhere to turn up on spec, so book.
What is there when the weather is against us?
Very little, which is the honest state of this list. Only two of the eight carry an indoor flag, one being Kids World Skegness, a play centre rather than an adventure in any real sense. Tattershall Lakes Country Park records both indoor and outdoor space, so part of it may work in poor weather, but confirm that rather than counting on it. Otherwise this is a category to save for a dry forecast.
