Great facilities. Staff is friendly and encourages and/or helps children when they fear the high ropes. Only downside, there is no lift to the upstairs area, so buggies have to park down stairs. You are able to watch the kids climb from both areas.

Good fun for kids, but mine are adventurous so got full use of everything. Some kids I noticed were a bit frightened to do much, so probably not great value for them. Disappointed with their "world cup treasure hunt" which I paid £2 per child. Had to find clues (flags with letters on) to make a sentence, to get a prize, which was a tiny fun size bag of haribo 😞 bit rubbish value for money. Also cafe was closed, so couldn't even get a drink.

We had a great time!! The staff were helpful, professional and kind, we felt really confident and safe using the equipment after a thorough introduction. The climbs are really varied and cover a good range of age and ability, there’s lots of opportunity to challenge yourself. We’ll definitely be back.
