Europe is about to get its first taste of high-octane indoor entertainment as Slick City, the American adventure brand, prepares to launch its inaugural UK venue in Nottingham. This thrilling new attraction promises to deliver pure adrenaline for visitors of all ages, marking a significant expansion for the rapidly growing company.
A New Hub for Thrill-Seekers
Scheduled to open its doors on Thursday, March 12, the massive 50,000 square foot facility located on Redfield Road in Lenton will become a premier destination for adventure enthusiasts. The park is set to create approximately 100 new employment opportunities, providing a welcome boost to the local economy in collaboration with Activeonsite.
Signature Attractions
The centrepiece of this exciting new venue is undoubtedly its collection of 16 different slides, each designed to propel thrill-seekers through steep drops and sharp turns before they land safely on cushioned mats. But the real showstopper is the world's first UV AirGlider, a gravity-powered aerial coaster that simulates the sensation of flying through the air.
Tim McClure, managing director at Slick City, expressed his enthusiasm about the European debut: "We're excited to be bringing a completely unique and exciting attraction to Europe for the first time, with the people of Nottingham set to be the very first to experience it."
Family-Friendly Adventure
Accessibility remains a key focus, with the park welcoming visitors as young as four years old. Children under twelve must be accompanied by an adult, ensuring safety remains paramount. For the youngest adventurers, a dedicated soft play zone caters specifically to children aged three and under.
Keely Buchanan, park manager at Slick City Nottingham, highlighted the venue's versatility: "We're a one-stop destination for adventure. Whether you're looking for a fun weekend activity or party venue, or a group of friends seeking adrenaline and competition, we want people to look around and say 'We have to do that'."
Practical Information
Sessions at the action park are available in either 90-minute or 120-minute blocks, with prices ranging from £19.95 to £24.95 per person. For those planning special occasions, party packages start at £22.95 per person with various upgrade options available. Visitors can book online in advance or purchase walk-in tickets on the day of their visit.
After an action-packed session, guests can refuel at the on-site café, where spectators can relax while watching the excitement unfold. The venue positions itself as an ideal location for group bookings and birthday parties, offering non-stop thrills throughout the year.
Rapid Expansion
Slick City's Nottingham opening represents just the latest chapter in the brand's remarkable growth story. Since its initial launch in 2021, the company has expanded to over 95 locations across 32 American states, with numerous additional venues currently in development. This European debut signals the brand's confidence in the UK market's appetite for family-friendly adventure experiences.
McClure elaborated on the timing of the UK expansion: "Slick City was born from innovation, and since its launch in 2021, the brand is growing rapidly. There is an appetite for more adventure experiences the whole family can enjoy, as well as people of any age who are looking for an exhilarating day out, so now felt like the perfect time to bring this thrill to the UK."
