Family Rides
Big Adventures and BIG screams are happening on our exciting rides! Leaving Big Smiles on EVERYONE’s faces! There’s a family ride to suit everyone, from the daredevil to the more timid rider.
All Weather Fun
EWEtopia is one of the South West’s largest all-weather attractions and is perfect for all ages! Grown-ups can be BIG kids again joining in on the fun, sliding down the giant multi-lane slides and scrambling along the swing bridge.

At the time of signing up for membership, or at annual renewal, members sign and agree to comply with Escape’s Terms and Conditions (as per member handbook and online application).
Responsibility for children.
Parents/carers are AT ALL TIMES responsible for their own children, and at no time should they be left unattended at any Escape activity, including swimming (children/young adults must be accompanied in the pool at all times).
If a child requires 1:1 (or more) support, allowance should be made so all other children within that family group are supervised should the child requiring 1:1 distract from the others’ care, whether physically or emotionally. Escape allows members to bring up to 2 support workers/friends/family members at the subsidised price for this reason ONLY, to ensure parents/carers are able to ensure someone has responsibility for all members attending at all times.
The ethos of Escape is to provide a supportive environment, and where members require short bouts of support (for example, to be able to go to the toilet themselves at a venue, or to get a wheelchair/pushchair ready from the back of the coach,) staff members will of course provide support for a short time, knowing the parent/carer will not be long, but will not provide “childcare”. Members must not ask/expect other members to supervise their children, and must be responsible for their own children at all times.
Escape’s reputation and acceptable behaviours;
In order to ensure that Escape is welcomed everywhere, parents/carers are expected to be responsible for the behaviour of all persons within their family group (children or otherwise) whilst attending any activity or event organised by Escape.
Escape expects members to show respect to each other at all times. This includes staff members, both within Escape and at the venues visited. To date we maintain a high reputation for being a courteous and polite group, and it is most important that we continue to uphold this reputation. Parents and carers are expected to speak in a child friendly manner, restricting the use of language that may cause offence to others. Children should also be encouraged to use appropriate language in front of others.
If it is not possible to meet Escape’s Terms and Conditions due to not having support available, members should consider whether that activity/trip is suitable for them, as failure to comply with T&Cs could result in the termination of Escape membership – please refer to our website for full T&Cs.
