Flying around with The Flash at Acrobranch

The other day while walking past our local comic book shop, my children suddenly started running and screaming with delight toward the real life Flash standing tall advertising the DC Universe. At that moment, and looking at them kitted out head to toe in Flash apparel, my mind started racing!

Don’t you also see what a perfect venue Acrobranch will be for a Flash themed outdoor adventure party! What more could little speedsters ask for other than to have their friends race on over and zip through the trees just as fast as the Flash!

Kids between the ages of 3 to 6 can let loose on the yellow Acro-twigs course. My “mini me” in his flash tshirt and mask (obviously!) was shown the ropes by Mikey and instructed how to clip and unclip the safety harness designed to keep the little ones safe as they take on the challenge of the 11 obstacles including 3 zip lines. The course was then dutifully monitored by Mickey (our expert for the day). As all little ones do once we got to the end, he cried for more and we were then told you get a 2 hour play period. How fantastic is that! I got to be a really super cool mom letting him jump and climb around again and again!

Their adult courses are structured for different fitness levels. Kids can also participate in these courses (height and age restrictions apply). There is a green Beginners course The Monkey Moves, the blue Medium course, the Swinging Tarzan, and the red Expert course for the High Flying.

Acrobranch don’t really offer designed party packages, however, discounts up to 10% apply for parties over 20 people. At the Huddle park course there is a nice shaded area available with tables and chairs set among the courses making you feel like you’re in your own vortex.

At Huddle Park you can bring your own party packs, cake and party decor. If you want to bring your own catering you will need to reserve a table at a small cost or alternatively get the venue to do the catering for you! I personally love that you can bring your own party treats as it’s a more affordable, personalised and fun option allowing everyone in the family to join in on the fun. If you’re brave you can easily print pictures and DIY all the party packs, cupcakes and decorations. However, very little decoration is needed at Acrobranch with a theme like the Flash and can be as simple as being based on red, yellow and black.

This is an example of DIY party decorations and party pack ideas which would make any party look Flashtastic! I made these all by hand so if you ever need a helping hand, feel free to reach out to me… and I try to make sure that most things are paper or biodegradable of course! I made little “sanitize in a flash” cards for those still weary of covid. Also made use of a vinyl machine to put stickers onto the masks. I think they just added the finishing touch. And then the party packs were very simple yet effective paper bags in red and yellow with images on and inside each pack included a little lego man flash for each child with a juice box, chips and a small chocolate. Alternatively, readymade Flash decorations are also easily sourced online and in most party shops.

This high energy party venue offers all entertainment, allowing mom and dad the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy the party too while watching their little speedsters and friends soar through the trees with many squeals of pleasure and fear. The true making of a superhero. My son is hooked and is still reeling from the happiness the day brought. I definitely know what theme and venue I am racing for, for his brothers next party!
