IF you want a family day out with big thrills consider a visit to the ‘Mega Slide Mountain’.

Claiming to be the the longest of its kind in the UK, the 200ft slide will let you hit top speeds of 12mph.

Found at National Forest Adventure Farm, the enormous slide is up a 30ft hill and has two slides next to each other – so riders can race to the bottom.

To enjoy the Mega Slide Mountain, it’s £1 per go or if that isn’t enough, it’s £5 for an unlimited ride wristband.

Anyone going down the slide must be over 107cm.

It is currently the longest outdoor tube slide in the UK at 200ft, but will soon be overtaken by one at Heaton Park’s Zip World on May 22, which will be 288ft.

There’s plenty more to enjoy at National Forest Adventure Farm like the 9 hole outdoor crazy golf course with water, bridges and milk churns.

Also outside are two huge jumping pillows – with one especially designed for those under eight years old.

Other activities include pedal go-karts, hopping on JCB diggers, navigating a musical maze, the assault course and fossil sand play.

There’s a chance to take a tour of the farm and spot some sheep in the Tractor & Trailer Ride and sit in the bumpy Barrel Stampede Ride.

When it comes to animals, children can explore the farm barn meeting and feeding resident cows, sheep and goats.

When the weather doesn’t play ball, there is an indoor play barn with drop slides, soft play and a dedicated zone for children under five.

There’s a Farmhouse Kitchen for food which serves up seasonal lunches as well as ‘street food’ inspired food and drink.
