What is it?
The Monster Slip And Slide is a four lane slip and slide measuring a radical 360 feet in length. With locations in Bude, Cornwall and Barnstaple, North Devon our slides are a great place to have a lot of fun with friends and family, no matter what the weather may be!
We have two locations – One in Bude, Cornwall and one in Barnstaple, North Devon. There’s free parking and great access just off the A39 to both of our slides. Once you’re done, we’re close to some awesome local beaches.
Cost and timings?
It’s just £13.75 per person for an hour session, which includes a safety briefing at the start (last slide will be called 50 minutes into the session to allow time for clearing down the slide). Children 4 and under slide for free with a fee paying adult. Carers are also free of charge, but we’ll need proof of DLA / Carers ID.
