My daughter had her eighth birthday party here, and it was absolutely fantastic! We booked the Mini Ringo and Sledging Party experience. It was so much fun. There were eleven girls, and they all loved it. They spent an hour going down a dry ski slope, first on sledges, and then in inflatable rings. The staff were brilliant, and made it interesting by getting them to do races; hold hands as they went down; and spinning them in the rings. My daughter especially loved it when they got all the other girls to surround her and sing her Happy Birthday as they went down the slope! Afterwards they had pizza in a covered seating area. The pizza was delicious. We brought our own cake. There's free parking there. It was a very easy party, and makes a change from the usual soft plays. It was nice to be outside too. I'd fully recommend this as a party for this age group. My daughter wants to go back there again next year! All the admin in the lead-up to the event was smooth too - good communication via email.

My daughter had such a brilliant time at the Adventure Club this May. It is perfect for children who don’t like to sit down! With such a great range of activities on offer that they wouldn’t usually get to do - she tried so many things that she had never done before. The instructors were lovely and the food was a big hit too! Such a bonus that it is all included! We will definitely book again!

We had my daughter’s birthday party here yesterday and honestly everyone had such a great time! The outdoor laser tag was so much fun.The staff were lovely and everything was well organised. The pizza platters were really generous and tasted so good too. We were also pleasantly surprised when melons and brownies were served as well, which we weren’t expecting at all. Such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend for children’s parties — such a fun experience from start to finish!

Booked my teens onto the high ropes on a Tuesday in Feb half term, whilst visiting my mum who lives locally. I think they may have been a little old for it, (13 and 16) but enjoyed it. They did get caught behind slower younger ones which was unfortunate. The team booking in and running the high ropes seemed efficient and friendly. They said they could go round a 2nd time when they reached the end. I sat in the cafe with my mum which was very well presented, warm and inviting. We had a view of some of the ropes and ski slope from the window. Also a great view towards London. You could get a better view from the terrace outside. The waitress could’ve been more friendly and welcoming. She didn’t communicate very well but bought a coffee to our table. Toilets were clean and well presented (apart from some wallpaper coming off in one cubicle) Many people working on laptops in the cafe. It did give it a feeling of an office space although it was quiet. If I had bought younger children in there, I’d have felt awkward about them making noise.
