Newquay - Absolutely Fabulous!
Acres of Fun..........
Much more than a garden,
it's ...
They call Trenance a park, but really it's a whole world of
leisure and fun, thrills, spills and fascination: 26 acres of
lush, sub-tropical colour interspersed with Cornwall's only
zoo, a massive water attraction and a seemingly endless
catalogue of activities for all ages and weathers.
A five-minute stroll from the centre of town will bring you
to the entrance and the only hard part of your visit,
Choosing. What will it be first? A ride on the miniature
railway , a battery car - or a real horse? A round of crazy
golf or some practice for the real thing on Trenance's
driving range? A game of squash or tennis, or messing about
on the boating lake- followed by a restorative tea at the
Lakeside Cafe.
Been there? Done that? You 've hardly started - and you haven
't lived till you 've taken on the giant 60m flume at
Waterworld. There's a fun-pool for kids, a superb 25m pool
with a 3.5m deep-end for serious swimmers and divers, and a
new fitness centre staffed by instructors trained to help all
levels of ability. In the evenings, from July, a programme of
alternating live acts, junior disco and brass band make
waterworld a day and night family entertainment centre.
At Trenance you either make your own wild life or watch it,at
the unique Newquay Zoo which breeds and cares for many of the
world's most endangered species. Here, in a day, you can trek
through the rain-forests of Brazil, the plains of Africa and
the jungles of Asia; learn first-hand from the keepers and
handle some of the animals. There's an activity farm, a maze,
play and picnic areas. You will never forget the experience -
and the kids will keep dragging you back for more.
All the interest and excitement a child can handle.
child's Play
Children love Newquay: there is so much novelty, excitement
and choice, so many new friends to play with - and so much
space to play in. If one beach becomes too familiar, there
are 10 more to try. If sand and sea lose their attraction,
there are countless caves and rockpools to explore - and if
all that palls, there are a number of attractions in town or
close by.
IN TOWN
For children up to 12, The Fun Factory serves up thrills,
spills and ice cream seven days a week, while a short drive
up Cliff Road takes you to the Blue Lagoon Leisure Centre
which features a giant pool, flumes and rapids, together with
ten-pin bowling and a fast-food diner.
The 26-acres of Trenance Leisure Park comprise the heated and
covered 25m pool and 60m flume of Waterworld, Newquay Zoo and
Conservation Centre and the Park itself - a blaze of
sub-tropical colour round a boating lake, toboggans,
battery-operated self-drive cars and a miniature railway as
well as adult sports facilities.
OUT OF TOWN
Out of town, there is so much choice the problem is deciding
what to do next - and where you will find the time.
JUST A DRIVE AWAY-FROM ALL THESE ATTRACTIONS
And that is just the immediate vicinity. If you are prepared
to travel a little further, the choice and excitement
multiplies: For example there is Paradise Park at Hayle, with
its wonderful world of wildlife in splendid Victorian
gardens.
Within half an hour's drive, there is the beautiful
Elizabethan manor house and gardens of Trerice - Dairyland,
where children can meet and handle farm animals and, at
Goonhavern, the perfect scale models of World in Miniature .
Railway fans will love Mevagissey's World of Model Railways
and the real-life experience of Lappa Valley Steam railway at
St Newlyn East.
