I highly recommend this venue for a party. It's an absolute bargain for what is included in the price and my 9 year old son and his friends had a brilliant time. Staff were friendly and welcoming, definitely worth another visit with the 2 free game vouchers the birthday boy received @

Went on this amazing trip yesterday 18/07/2020. From start to finish it was well organised. On the way we stopped for breakfast which was large with unlimited tea and coffee. We also stayed their on the way back home and for just £12.00 you had main course and desert which again very large portions and served by two very nice members of staff. The horse riding activity was excellent and again the staff at the stables were all lovely. Hello to Mary. They had a very warm and friendly approach and you could tell how much they loved their horses which were all well looked after. The walk along the cliffs is not for those with a fear of heights, saying that once you are up there the views are second to none and surely took my breath away. Just seeing the wild horses and the valley below us with its streams and water falls made it all worth while. The horses were extremely well behaved and I totally fell in love with my horse Sky. Now on to George he is the lovely man who runs hoovin about. He is fun witty and made all of us laugh from the moment we met to sadly saying our fond farewells. He made us all feel at ease and although I was in two minds about going to begin with as this was organised by my daughter, I can honestly say I am so glad I went. This was just the tonic I needed... No not gin and tonic !!! I have not had so much fun in a long time, and after being couped up for such along time during lock down this was just what I needed. Some outdoor fresh air and a good laugh with some fantastic people who I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. So all I can say is get out from behind your laptops and put down your gaming consoles its time for some long awaited company and fun. Thanks George for a great day out.

These simulators have trained thousands of professional pilots over the years. (They are not replica simulators like many on offer). Now it's your turn to sit where they did and learn the tricks of the trade. We highly recommend a full hours flight time (90 minute experience) to get the best from your visit. Welcome on board.

Be warned, this is such a fantastic experience that if you do it once you will want to do it again - or take up flying. It’s a great set up and the staff are welcoming and friendly. My Wife bought me this as a 60th birthday present and along with Captain Nigel we flew the 747 Jumbo around New York landing at JFK and then nipped over to Innsbruck for a flight between the mountains. It is so realistic that you soon feel like you are actually flying and if like me you are fascinated by the whole concept of flight you will love this. I was so impressed, I booked to do it all over again - can’t recommend it more than that.

My friend and I popped into the impressive Fargo Village and we came across this charming place. The curator’s passion for his collection and his authentic knowledge was very evident. Listening to the curator was 15-20 minutes well spent. I ve just read a touching backstory to this endeavour on the internet. As with the Two Tone Village and the Coventry Music Museum, I hope the Fargo Village and this charming emporium and museum get the recognition they deserve when Coventry enjoys its well-deserved tenure as the City of Culture.

Our group of 3 took on The Dungeon of Doom. Great concept and plenty of tricky puzzles to keep you busy. Our games host was brilliant and provided hints when we needed them (which you do need in this game, especially if you've only got 3 players). We will be back to try out some of the other rooms.

My friends and I returned to do Down the Rabbit hole and Scarlett after visiting several times before and, like always, we found the rooms to be super fun and exciting (we escaped both), challenging everyone in our group. Our Gamemaster, Harriette, was professional and highly useful, especially when we needed a hint in the rabbit hole. All in all we had a brilliant evening, thanks to the whole team ♥️

Go Ape Coventry

Reviewed By SELD2901

We (myself and 10 year old daughter) visited on a Sunday. My initial thoughts upon booking was that it seemed a little expensive. However i changed my view after a day here. The amount of staff available to help, the quality of the equipment, the time spent here and the engineering involved in the course fully justified the £61 paid for both of us to do the Tree Top challenge. Safety was paramount and this was one of my concerns pre-visit. However, short of you not attaching yourself at the start of the course (which staff would not allow) there is no way i can see a fall could occur. There is also a second rope for safety in the unlikely event that the first rope should fail. With my safety concerns out of the way, we had a great day. We spent at least 3 hours in the treetop courses and there are four courses in all. We completed them all and whilst challenging for us both, we both managed to complete all 4 courses. The zip lines were the longest i have seen and took some real bottle to "step off the platform". But i guess if it was easy and not a thrill, there wouldnt be much point. The swings and balancing obstacles were also well thought out, tricky, but do-able for a ten year old. I am a relatively big guy and was pleased to find that harnesses were available for the bigger individual also. All in all, a great day out. We were there from 12 til 6 and had a walk around the grounds too, which are very picturesque. I think the fact that not 10 minutes after we had finished, my daughter said "can we come here again" speaks for itself. One criticism I have is the issue of parking. Whilst worth the course fee, i still feel £60 for an afternoon is quite a lot of money, especially for a single parent and if car parking were to be included, or at least subsidised, I would give the place a 10/10 rather than a 9/10.

Your team (3-5 people) will have maximum 60 minutes to solve the mystery, to accomplish the mission and to find your way out of a room that has been set up like a crime scene. Each and every small detail and object in the room is part of the game. It is important that you inspect every detail, and not to overlook anything.
