Little Cupids Family Fun

Get ready for Resorts World free Little Cupids event this February half term!

Moo and Goo will be at Resorts World (12th – 14th February, 11am – 4pm) for FREE Valentine’s themed kids activities in the atrium. There will be a range of fun activities for them to enjoy PLUS a fabulous photo-opp for young and old that is sure to bring a smile and some positive vibes!

Kids will be able to get creative with cookie decorating, design and make their own love letters, take part in an interactive slime workshop to make their own love potions and they can learn archery at Cupid’s Archery Range* (don’t worry it’s suction cup archery that is custom made for kids).

Events Schedule:

Monday 12th February – Wednesday 14th: Cupid’s Archery Range

Little archers can take aim at hearts with Cupid’s Bow and Arrow. Aim true, and they might just hit the bullseye of friendship or land a shot that sparks a magical connection (don’t worry it’s suction cup archery that is custom made for kids).

Monday 12th February: Cupid’s Archery Range + Love Letters

Kids design and make their own valentines seeded cards to send to their nan, their pet or their secret crush next door! The seeds can then be planted to spread even more positive vibes.

Tuesday 13th February: Cupid’s Archery Range + Cookie Decorating

They can create their own heart-shaped cookie designs to enjoy or give to someone they adore.

Wednesday 14th February: Cupid’s Archery Range + Slime Potions

Step right up to the Love Potions bar where the slimier their potion the better in this interactive slime workshop!

There will be themed crafting available everyday and our popular hunt will also return for half term (Monday – Friday) so they can explore Resorts World to find our coloured hearts. Our Little Cupids hunt sheets can be collected from Guest Services during their opening hours.

*Parent supervision is required at all times. Most activities are suitable for all ages, with archery available for children 4+. Normal parking tariffs apply, and please note that queues may have to close early to accommodate those already waiting.
