The summer holidays actually came with some pretty decent weather this year. So I made the most of it and did loads of outdoor active stuff with the kids. One of the first of the holidays was a visit to Mission Out near Leeds – conveniently located right off the M62.
I took my 10 year old, his best friend, my 8 year and his best friend to Mission Out in late July 2025 and here’s our review.
Mission Out – What You Need to Know
| What is it? | It’s essentially a large outdoor adventure playground but with raft riding, high ropes and an obstacle course as opposed to just your usual run of the mill playground stuff. |
| Price | £11.95 per child over 6. £8.85 per adult for an all day pass. |
| Extra Costs | £5 for the high ropes. Bargain I think |
| Food and Drink Options | Really decent on site café and I thought the prices were reasonable |
| The Best Bits | So much to do and all in a relatively small space, so with older children you can let them do stuff without hovering over them |
| The Worst Bits | None. We loved it. I imagine it could get really busy at times but it was ok when we went and that was on a sunny school holiday day |
On arrival, it was a swift and easy check in and we were able to add on 2 x high ropes sessions for the older two boys.
There was so much to do in here.
Obstacle Course
This runs from the entry office up to the main area – so they’re already active and doing something fun from the moment you’re checked in.
Pillow Jump Tower
3 different heights to choose from on the pillow tower which was a hit with all 4 of the boys I took!
High Ropes
At £5 additional fee, I think the High Ropes is incredible value for money – particularly when you compare it to something like Go Ape. And it was a cracking course. The two eldest both went on and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rafting
The rafting was a lot of fun for the kids (and maybe this grown up too). This was my 8 year old’s favourite activity.
Other Activities
Axe throwing, slides, massive swings, adventure golf and a playground area are amongst the other activities. So you can easily keep the kids busy for a while.
How was it?
The kids had a phenomenal time and, in my opinion, this represented really decent value for a day out. We were there 4 hours and only left because we had to be somehere. The kids would have happily stayed at Mission Out much longer.
I love how easily accessible it is too – right off the motorway. And no parking wars. The car park is plentiful.
Food and drink options were great too. And in all, this felt like a cracking way to spend a day with the kids.
We’ll definitely be back.
