Dinosaurs, polar bears, giant lollipops and unicorns. These are just some of the magical characters to be discovered at new family adventure park Totally Roarsome.
Opening this weekend, the socially distanced outdoor woodland trail features 7 immersive themed zones that are sure to be a hit with families.
There's plenty for the little ones to discover, from a Jurrasic land filled with prehistoric dinos, to a wild jungle, frozen Arctic and Candyland stuffed with giant lollipops and chocolate bars.
Then there's Neverland, filled with pirates at every turn, a world of superheroes and - last but not least - an otherworldly fantasy land filled with dragons, unicorns and knights of the realm.
You'll get to meet with the likes of Batman, Superman and Spiderman, take pictures with life-size giraffes and gorillas, and even sit with baby lion cubs.
As you go, you'll also complete a treasure hunt and quiz - which will enter you into a weekly prize draw.
Families need to pre-book tickets in advance for the fantastical outdoor experience, with demand being incredibly high for the new adventure park.
Located at Tadcaster's Hazlewood Castle, tickets are priced at £7.95 per person for adults and children with free entry for under 2's.
Tickets can be bought using the shop now button on the Totally Roarsome Facebook page.
The trail takes about an hour, with staggered entry times in place to ensure social distancing and hand sanitiser available throughout the trail to help keep you safe.
There's a safety briefing at the start, park rangers are on hand to help throughout and all props are cleaned and sanitised regularly. Unfortunately, due to the natural wildlife, dogs are not allowed in the park.
Tickets for this weekend have sold out but slots are available for later in the month.
