ITV has announced that ‘I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge’ is opening in Manchester in 2020. It will be a permanent visitor attraction, located within The Lowry Outlet near MediaCityUK.
The 90-minute experience will be a jungle-themed challenge offering tasks and trials inspired by Main Camp, Croc Creek and Snake Rock.
According to the website, I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge will feature jungle ziplines, parachute drops and vertical climbing walls.
Visitors, also known as campmates, will enjoy a jungle specially created for the attraction, where they’ll navigate various obstacles and challenges.

The name of the game is to collect as many stars as possible for a chance to be crowned ‘King or Queen of the Jungle’.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities, including the I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge throne, while a gift shop will sell jungle souvenirs.
Visitors can already buy a ‘Star Pass’ – a discounted voucher – for the attraction. Each Star Pass can be exchanged for one adult or one child ticket as soon as they go on sale in 2020.
The project is part of a larger masterplan and £26 million regeneration of the Lowry Outlet, which will become a leading leisure and retail destination, with a waterslide dining concept also opening in 2020.
Jungle-themed challenge to offer tasks and trials
ITV’s portfolio already includes Coronation Street The Tour, Emmerdale Village Tour, The Emmerdale Studio Experience, Ninja Warrior UK, and ITV Daytime Studios Tour at Television Centre in London.
Earlier this year, ITV Studios signed a landmark deal with the London Resort, which recently unveiled new concept art and its six themed lands, as announced by PY Gerbeau at blooloopLIVE.
