My 5 year old had so much fun trying out tobogganing on his friend's birthday party, and the food was lovely too!

Our teens went to go on the ringo. Unfortunately the 2 members of staff at the top and bottom were more interested in their mobile phones than helping. So slowed the whole thing down, even when it was clear the paying customers had to wait till the workers looked up from their phones. The girls felt creeped out that the guy at the top only seemed to want to push the girls. The place it's self and the activty was cool though. Hence 3 stars not 1

My kids had their birthday party here and had a fantastic time on the Ringos with all their friends. Lodge and food was waiting for them when they got off the slopes 🥳

Took my 2 grandchildren there to go on the ringos'. They thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly go again. It was Easter holiday and became quite busy with different activities going on but tables and chairs for the moms and dads to sit on while the children have fun.

Went for a snowboarding taster session. The staff and instructor were very friendly, great instruction given, and a fun way to try a snowboard out for the first time! Definitely looking to go back again and get some more experience.
