Well here's your chance to get in the driving seat for once and show the old folks how to really drive! This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top Formula 1 drivers (including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button) first got into racing, before being lured away by the big bucks. You'll be behind the wheel of an electric kart on the 120 metre Paddock Circuit with straights, corners and other kids to steer around. Start off with a safety briefing by the circuit and then let your competitive streak loose with a 15 minute session in an electric kart. After a break to catch your breath, enjoy another 15 minute session during which you can perfect your racing driver skills (you could even take a pal along to drive the second half if you like). So go ahead and release your inner speed demon at this famous venue, where some of the greats have gone before you!

With this experience you'll learn all about the amazing world of scuba diving, and take your first steps (or splashes!) towards becoming a scuba diver. Your expert teacher will tell you all about safety in the water and how to get mobile underwater, and then you'll be kitted out in proper scuba gear. Once you're in the swimming pool you'll have a chance to get used to all the equipment and learn how to breathe underwater and achieve weightlessness - it's brilliant fun. There will be an instructor around the whole time to help you and make sure you stay safe. At the end of the session you'll even take home a little surprise gift.

Learning to ski is fantastic fun and very rewarding, especially when you're sharing the experience with a friend! In most of Britain we don't get much snow and moving to Norway would be a bit over the top, so instead we've sorted out this cool skiing experience at SnowDome, the UKs top real snow centre. It's perfect for complete beginners, whether the two of you just want to try out something new, or whether you both want to get some practise in before going on holiday. First off your instructor will run through the safety requirements and information you need to know and will go over all the equipment. Then it's your go - try out some basic moves and techniques before going down the slope, zigzagging from left to right and back again. Don't worry if it sounds a bit hard - you can encourage one another and your instructor will give you loads of help. We know that you'll have a really exciting time and your experience could signify the start of a life-long love of this amazing sport.

A trip to Diggerland guarantees a fun filled, exciting and action packed day out for kids and adults of all ages. Children (and adults if they wish) have the opportunity to ride in and drive different types of construction machinery including Dumper Trucks, Mini Diggers and Giant Diggers (all under strict supervision). There are great opportunities to take photos or learn about the workings of the machines from the fully trained instructors constantly on hand. Diggerland is a day out with a difference: not only can families learn about how these diggers work, they can actually drive them too!

Snowboarding is brilliant fun, but in most of Britain we don't get much snow! Moving to Norway would be a bit over the top though, so instead we've sorted out this cool snowboarding experience at SnowDome, the UKs top real snow centre. It's perfect for complete beginners, whether you just want to try out something new or whether you want to get some practice in before going on holiday. First off your instructor will run through all the safety stuff and go over all the equipment. Then you'll try out some basic moves and find out whether you're a 'regular foot' or 'goofy foot' - that is, whether your leading leg is your left or your right (and dont worry - there's nothing wrong with being goofy footed!). Move onto gaining control of the toe edge of the board and going down the slope zigzagging from left to right and back again - the 'toe side falling leaf' manoeuvre. Don't worry if it sounds a bit hard - your instructor will give you loads of help and you''ll have a great time.

Try out one of the fastest growing water sports and get to grips with paddling a kayak in a group environment. During the session, you can expect to learn the basics of paddle and boat control as well as general river safety, with instruction taking place in a safe boating area two to three feet deep. Once the basics are mastered, head out into calm sections of the river under the supervision of qualified instructors. Take a trip through the beautiful Jephson Gardens and local nature reserve to explore and participate in games and challenges to put your new skills to the test. Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people of Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters. The first kayaks consisted of stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame. Don't worry, today they are a little more high tech, made from rotomoulded plastic, wood, fabric over wooden or aluminum frame, fiberglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre.

Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. Next you'll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, then finally it's time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You'll also get a certificate to take home to show everyone that you're officially a Junior Cowboy.

You'll start with a briefing and a few untimed practice laps to get you familiar with the karts and circuit (and get your competitive streak going). Then you'll compete against other drivers in race heats, semi-finals and finals. The winners receive prizes at the end of the session.
