1 / 3Ackers Adventure
📍 Small Heath, West Midlands
Outdoor adventure centre in Small Heath with skiing, snowboarding, tubing, rock climbing, kayaking, zip wires, archery, and axe throwing. Professional instructors for all skill levels. Free parking and party facilities.
You wouldn't believe this place is in the middle of Birmingham. One minute you're stuck in traffic, the next you're flying down a zip wire or paddling a kayak! We did the tubing for a birthday party and it was hilarious—great fun for adults too. The instructors are fantastic, really patient and clearly love what they do. It’s a bit rough around the edges in places, but that just adds to the 'adventure' feel. Great value, free parking, and a proper workout. Just wear old clothes because the mud and the matting are unforgiving!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An outstanding option for active families who want variety from a single Birmingham venue. The instructors are the defining factor — patient, skilled, and effective with first-timers and nervous participants alike. Named instructors like Mark on the ski slope receive repeated praise across reviews.

“Amazing people work here. We have now had around 6 hours of ski lessons here mostly 121. The instructors and staff are all fantastic. One in particular, Mark is the nicest guy you could ever meet, also really knows how to teach people how to ski and help even the least confident people do well. We have always left better at Ski'ing than when we arrived and with a massive smiles on our faces. Thanks Mark & Team! We will be back soon.”
