Exeter Segway Safari Centre, Ottery St Mary, Exeter, Devon
Segways are great fun, so if you fancy booking an activity for when you’re on your large group holiday in Devon, check out Exeter Segway Safari Centre, at Escot Park country estate, close to Honiton and Exeter.
First of all, you get a briefing from a qualified instructor; then you put on your safety gear and get started on a genuine Segway on flat private roads. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you’re off – onto the custom built 15 hundred acre off road area where tracks are laid out in the fields and woodlands. Woo hoo! Tours are 60, 75 or 90 minutes long, or enormous fun for groups is the Segway Olympics with slaloms, a 100m sprint and a Segway egg and spoon.
The nitty gritty is that to do this you must be 10 years old or over and you must weigh at least 35kg and no more than 130kg. It’s a good idea to factor in a whole day at Escot Park as it’s also home to Devon Activity Centre who offer fantastic activities like karting, axe throwing, archery and clay shooting, and it’s home to Wildwood Devon. There’s a restaurant onsite, with your Segway experience giving you a 10% discount.
