30 Mins Kids Driving at Mercedes-Benz World
Join the Stars Driving Club. If you're tall enough to reach the pedals of a Mercedes-Benz A-Class or smart fortwo car, then you are old enough to drive at Mercedes-Benz World. Team up with one of the professional driving instructors and start learning skills from scratch. Very quickly you'll find your confidence grows so why wait until you're 17 to get behind the wheel? On this introductory session you will be taught the basics of driving in a safe environment next to the venue. If you decide to return to Mercedes Benz World for additional lessons then you can move onto the main circuits to be taught extra advanced skills such as skid management and dynamic handling. At this rate you might even want to prepare for your driving test - and yes, they can even do that for you. To call this site out of this world does it no justice, Mercedes-Benz World is one of just five brand centres in the world. Enjoy the unique atmosphere and attractions of this venue which must be seen to be believed!

Western Horse Riding Experience for Two
Discover your inner cowboy (or cowgirl) on this great day out in the New Forest, England's answer to the Wild West (okay there's lots of trees and not many cacti, but bear with us). You'll start off with coffee, bacon rolls and a briefing from your ranch hand. Then head up to the field to meet and catch your horse, before learning how to groom and tack him up Western style. Then you'll have a Western riding lesson in the arena - it's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. And those cowboys had to spend all day in the saddle, so they made damn sure it was comfortable! Take a break for a barbecue lunch and then head off on the Western Trail into the forest. You'll finish up back at the ranch, to untack, rub down and feed your horse, and turn him out to pasture before you settle down to a well-earned coffee. Rawhide!

Husky Dog Sledding For One and A Family Spectator Day
Who says you need snow to ride behind a team of huskies? These descendents of the wolf family love to run, so if the sled is on wheels then any terrain works. All you need to think about is holding on tight, these dogs don't hang around for slow boarders! Don't worry, we're not going to throw you to the dogs (who're quite happy with their diet of meat and fish), you'll meet a husky handler who can explain what the dogs do, why and give some history of where they come from. You'll be shown how to ride the cart and control the dogs and along with your handler, will get to ride behind a team of two to four dogs through the stunning Darent Valley. Back at the centre, warm up with a hot drink and piece of cake. It may look easy, but the balance and skill required makes for some tiring mushing or hiking (terms used to run the sled). You also get a family pass for two adults and two children into the centre, which houses many fascinating creatures including displays of reptiles and birds.
