Europe’s first standalone indoor slide park will open in the UK this week

If you’re ever in search of an adrenaline boost, there are all sorts of different theme parks across the UK that’ll do the trick. In London there’s Babylon, the UK’s only underground theme park, on the Isle of Wight there’s Blackgang Chine, the UK’s oldest amusement park, and soon the country’s very first live-action historical theme park will open in Bishop Auckland, to name just a few.

However, we can all agree that the UK still has one very important thing missing – a standalone indoor slide park, obviously. That’ll change in a matter of days, though. The UK and Europe’s first indoor slide park, Slick City, will open in Nottingham on March 12. 

Slick City already has more than 95 sites in the US. Its first park this side of the pond will span 50,000 square foot, filled with 16 different twisting and turning slides. On Super Fly, you drop down then are propelled into the air to land on an airbag, on Hyperloop you swirl through a massive bowl, and on Twister, you rock left and right all the way down to the bottom. 

The park will also feature the world’s first UV AirGlider, which is a gravity-powered aerial ride that simulates the feeling of flying. For smaller kids, there’s a soft play area and there’ll be air courts where families can play dodgeball, basketball or try out some parkour. There’s a cafe for whenever you need a quick break or a pick-me-up, too.  

You don’t need kids to enjoy the park. On the first Friday of every month, Slick City will put on adults only nights when you can let your inner child run wild. Bookings are now open, with sessions starting from £19.95 per person.
