AN ADVENTURE family attraction at the NEC is set to close its doors.
The Bear Grylls Adventure will close after six years in what bosses have called a ‘difficult decision’.
Bosses at Merlin Entertainment, which oversees the running of the £20million site, have announced the attraction would close on Wednesday, December 11.
In a statement bosses said: “This has been a very difficult decision and one that was made only after careful consideration. Our priority now is looking after our team members and animals throughout this transition.
“Over the coming weeks, we will continue to provide world-class animal care as we prepare to transfer our animals to suitable new homes, including to our nearby aquarium the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham and other UK SEA LIFE sites.
“Our team of welfare specialists at SEA LIFE will oversee the transition process to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible.
“We are proud of the positive impact The Bear Grylls Adventure has had on thousands of children and families that have visited over the last six years, showing guests first-hand the power of immersive activity in escaping the ordinary, and how adventure is for everyone.
“We want to thank our amazing team and guests who have made this time so memorable.”
Guests who have tickets booked after this date can request a change of date or refund – with more details available on the website.
Activities at the Bear Grylls Adventure included high ropes, archery, axe throwing, assault course indoor climbing and escape rooms. There’s also the iFLY wind tunnel and snorkelling and diving in their huge tank.
