> Blog: Thrill-Seeking Activities for Your Children to Enjoy

We all know how tricky it is to keep kids entertained these days. Whether they're developing into thrill-seekers that want challenges, or if you need something new for your children to enjoy—you're in luck!

At PGL we're delighted to provide an extensive range of thrill-seeking activities that get the whole family involved, including kids, parents and caregivers alike. By taking an adrenaline trip or simply trying your hand at fun and exciting activities, we're confident your whole family will make amazing memories that continue long after the buzz and excitement have worn off.

With that in mind, we thought it would be helpful to share 5 superb thrill-seeking activities for kids that like to explore their limits, reach new heights and push their emotional and physical boundaries to the max. Each marvellous activity encourages them to step outside their comfort zone while getting their blood pumping and adrenaline rushing; we hope you find it useful.

Awesome Abseiling

Have you or your kids got a fear of heights? If so, this could be a hair-raising activity that helps develop some much-needed confidence. You will be able to scale down our purpose-built towers and enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience that enables the whole family to push boundaries and reach new and unimaginable heights. 

Abseiling is an exhilarating activity that, when tried, leaves everyone feeling a great sense of accomplishment...It's also perfect for kids who love the thrill and want to get their hearts racing. 

Challenge Courses

These demanding courses are not for the faint-hearted. They require skill, confidence and the will to be flexible. Each mind-boggling course is unique and will challenge your children in different ways. They will need to think fast and develop their creative problem-solving, and the courses require strength and balance. Our mind-blowing obstacles have many sides and pressures to overcome, crawl through and balance on. To add to the chase, make it into a race and immerse fully in the fun these courses have to offer. Whether it’s being enjoyed in the mud, rain or sun, always different and always challenging. 

Surfing: Find their perfect wave! 

Surfing is a popular extreme sport that's sure to get any adrenaline trip off to a radical start. The North Devon coast is home to some of the best surfing beaches in England, not to mention the most picturesque. We're also delighted to share that the fantastic Beam House is just a short coach journey from Westward Ho! Where the seasoned beaches are sheltered, and the surf is moderate. This beach provides the perfect conditions for both beginners who want to dip their toes in and for those with more experience and who want to expand their surfer skills.

Rifle Shooting

Under the right circumstances and with the proper support and supervision Rifle Shooting  can be a memorable and exhilarating experience. Our lightweight air rifle is the perfect tool for developing their concentration, steady breathing and accuracy. 

Thrilling Trapeze

Trapezing is another showstopping activity that will get any adrenaline seeker off their seat, and the feeling of triumph when you complete each stage is phenomenal. The climb to the top 6-metre pole is already a big task, but with balance, deep breaths and a little creativity, it can be accomplished! Once up, all that awaits them here are the birds and the trees. The final challenge is to take the epic leap of faith without hesitation, so they can enjoy the freedom of flying through the air… wheeeeee!
