Had an amazing time! There is 2 of each level. Tutors were encouraging, supportive + reassuring. Free tea + coffee on site. Great experience.
**Review for Nuclear High Ropes** Nuclear High Ropes is an amazing place with so much to do. Our experience there exceeded all our expectations, especially with the high ropes course, which was even better than we could have imagined. Both the kids and adults in our group had an absolute blast. The crew were fantastic and demonstrated excellent professionalism. When one of the kids got stuck, they sprang straight into action on a rescue mission, ensuring he was safe and could continue the course. Their swift and calm response was impressive and greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the staff for providing us with a great time and creating such fantastic memories. We can't wait to visit again!
My two kids did the zip trek and they really enjoyed it. The staff are really helpful and offered a lot of reassurance to my eldest daughter and were very patient. They really loved it and I think we’d come again. Vending machine there which wasn’t too badly priced. Also had picnic tables to sit at. You can watch them a little of the way round. My only bug is that the music playing in the background is way too loud and isn’t necessary
Tim And Khi were amazing and kept up with our witty personalities. All safety points were explained very well. The whole course is well built and some parts are challenging and others give real confidence boosts. Totally recommend for a day date! Will be back to do the zip trek.
Great fun and we were there the day before all this snow started... so, it was pretty cold. Our group leader was great. To be fair, he stayed fairly quiet but we were quite talkative and then he joined in. We all had a laugh and the ropes at the end were nerve wracking as I'm terrified of heights but we all go through it. Our group had the multi-activity day which had one hour of archery, one hour of air rifle shooting, 20 paint balls for target shooting and then the 2 hour rope challenge. Loved that we also got a paper target to shoot at and take home for air rifle. The ropes course has two directions from the start : left is easy, right is hard, and there are two levels. You access both by walking up a sort of stair case tower block... second floor is the first level but I'm not sure how high it was- don't look down regardless of fear, it doesn't help anyone. Second level is up the next staircase and this is the highest one. We went right each time (not sure why I said we should do the hard one) and don't be fooled into thinking this one you can just run across. We took the full two hours to complete it and they naturally said take your time so don't worry about the time limit. They won't push you off whilst a timer beeps. You'll need to rely on your arms, legs, core, balance and even momentum. At first you'll need to sign a couple forms with names, signatures and an alternative phone number that is not yours for safety. The cabin next to the stairs tower has a vending machine for hot drinks and snacks. You can leave your belongings in a locker here if you give a £5 deposit but we just left it in the building and it was fine. They also supply grip gloves that you can buy, roughly £2.50 for a pair. I also believe you get free entry to the secret bunker but we were so cold by the end we were just in search of a pub.
