Loved by schools across Northern Ireland

Our end of Year 8 trip to The Jungle this year was nothing less than fantastic.  We had a large number of pupils and the range of activities available for the kids was amazing (there was something for absolutely everyone).  The staff were so good with the kids; patient, helpful and fun.  The food in the cafe went down a treat with both pupils and staff and the pre ordering made everything smooth and fast. The burgers were top notch! It was such a great day out and we honestly would recommend it to any school group.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Jungle NI this year with our Prefect Team for their reward day. From arrival to departure, the staff were exceptionally helpful, accommodating, and fully engaged with our pupils—joining in with the tasks, conversations, banter and games rather than simply observing. We appreciated being able to get straight into activities without delay, and every activity was clearly explained, well planned, and thoughtfully delivered. It was a fantastic day, and we’re looking forward to continuing this excellent relationship with Jungle NI in the future.

Our Primary 7s had the best end of year trip this year. We booked the 3hr fun package and it was one of the smoothest, well organised trips we have been on. Each activity was well co-ordinated and team leaders communicated well with each other regarding timings so there was very little waiting around. Plenty of activities and we then ate in the Lazy Lama. Food was excellent and service was top notch. We have already enquired about booking next year’s trip.

Our pupils enjoyed a brilliant day at The Jungle and it was and excellent way to celebrate the end of KS3 with them.
They had a range of activities on offer and there was something to suit everyone! The tree top leap was definitely a big hit and provided lots of laughs.
The café and Lazy Llama were an excellent shout for snacks and lunch. Both our staff and our pupils enjoyed our time at The Jungle and we would definitely consider this as a future venue for school outings.

St. Oliver Plunkett PS had a wonderful experience on our residential visit to the Jungle in June this year. The staff were very helpful and attentive to all our pupils and the level of professionalism was great. They were clearly very knowledgeable about the areas in which they were leading and were very health and safety conscious. The activities were very good and the children really enjoyed them. The facilities at the Manor House were very good too and the building was clean and well maintained. Overall we had a wonderful experience hence why we are hoping to return in June 2026.

We live and breathe the unpredictable Northern Irish weather. We go ahead with activities in almost all weather conditions.

We constantly monitor the weather and will inform groups in advance if their booking needs to be postponed.
We have a large reception barn split across two floors, filled with picnic tables, sofas and coffee tables, as well as on onsite café downstairs. We also have lots of outdoor seating. There are toilets throughout the site, as well as a shower block. Being located in the rural Mid Ulster countryside also provides plenty of open space and fresh air!
Yes, we can cater to any and all dietary requirements, provided we are informed well in advance.
Yes, however, being an outdoor adventure centre, there may be some limitations to what we can offer. Give our office team a call and we can talk you through it.
