Watersports parties at the Olympic white water venue - Water Wipeout, paddleboarding or kayaking on the lake with all kit and food in a lakeside cabin

About Lee Valley White Water Centre

Lee Valley White Water Centre - the London 2012 canoe slalom venue at Waltham Cross - runs three watersports parties on its lake from April to October: Water Wipeout on the giant inflatable obstacle course, Explore Paddleboarding and Explore Kayaking, each a 60-minute coached session (allow 75) with the full kit provided - wetsuit, buoyancy aid, boots, helmet and board or kayak - followed by party food in a dedicated lakeside cabin. All three price identically at £300 for ten children aged eight and up, with extras at £30 each; one adult per four children stays on site and a watersports waiver is signed ahead. Sessions are shared with the public, which keeps the price sensible for an Olympic venue. Reviews are excellent (4.7 stars from nearly 4,000 Google visitors) and prices are published on the venue's own site. One listing gap: no photos at all - card-dead until images are added

  1. Atiq RehmanRating: 5/5

    Stopped here after a nice walk along the canal with the dog and enjoyed the lovely cafe/restaurant. You can also experience watching people enjoying the water facilities. Lots to do for those who enjoy rafting and a pleasant atmosphere for onlookers.

  2. Sarah MercerRating: 5/5

    Took my daughter and niece for some paddleboarding this morning, staff were helpful and changing rooms were nice and clean. Both girls had been before but this was definitely the best visit. Jack was the instructor and was brilliant. Interacted well with the group, giving the stronger paddleboarders little challenges to do and helping the other where needed.

    The Restaurant offers 360 degree vantage over the whole park giving you the chance to see clise uo what the next generation athletes are doing and you can learn around the very best here whether it's Kayaking or White water , from novices who have never done this before or an adventurer who had that experience whilst on holiday somewhere. Action packed fun filled adventure with water. The Restaurant offers healthy optional foods snacks and lots of refreshments on offer. Very friendly staff and don't forget the parking is free if you buy food there it's on your receipt just scan the code on your phone and enter the code on your receipt. I highly recommend you come here I will everything I am 8n the area . Chef Danny McDonnell Very very helpful staff.

  5. GavinBFCRating: 5/5

    Fantastic place to practice your open water and white water rafting skills there is an equipment hire area on site so you dont need to bring your own gear, ample parking the largest car park is just 100 yards from the entrance. Staff are super friendly, there is a cafe on site too with inside or outside (on balcony) seating. The road leading to the place is only a normal 30 mph road and it gets busy quickly so try and give yourself plenty of time to get there.
