Edinburgh's Conifox running wizard lessons and nerf battle for February break

With the half-term school holidays coming up this February, entertaining the kids can be a bit of a challenge.

However, a popular adventure park in Kirkliston on the outskirts of Edinburgh is offering a bumper package of fantastic family activities.

Conifox Adventure Park is offering everything from wizarding lessons and teddy workshops to discos and a Frozen singalong cinema, as well as a Nerf battle zone.

The entertainment starts on the first of February with the Teddy Workshop, a chance for little ones to create their own furry Teddy-Tastic friend after a play in the Activity Centre. Suitable for babies to 12-year-olds, there are three sessions each day on various dates.

Friday nights will also see family discos when the Activity Centre will open in the evening for an exclusive session where all ages will be invited to strut their stuff on the dancefloor. DJs Mark Martin and Claire Kinnaird will entertain guests with fun, games and prizes, together with a bumper 2-hour play session.

The Nerf Battle zone is set for warring teams to fight it out from February 4 until 26, with four hour-long sessions each day on various dates. Suitable for children aged five and upwards with an accompanying adult and entry to the outdoor Adventure Park included in the ticket price.

At the start of the half-term break, Professor Artemis’ Conifox Wizard School will also open for the new intake. Running on February 11 and 12 students and their accompanying adults can learn how to brew potions, cast spells, make slime and create delicious wizarding treats in an event inspired by the world of Harry Potter and delivered by Fun Scientists. Four, hour-long lessons will be held each day.

The end of the month sees the Frozen Singalong Cinema event, which will be delivered by Wish Upon a Star Entertainment, a chance to sing along with all their favourite songs, hear stories and play games with the Snow Sisters and Kistoff. Suitable for babies to 12-year-olds, there are three sessions each day on February 25 and 26.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming kids of all ages for some fabulous entertainment over the half-term break and beyond.”
