If anyone is thinking of taking up skateboarding, is a novice or a even pro then I 100% recommend you get yourself down to ATB in Swindonia. Great guys who are open, friendly and knowledgable. They made a returning-to-skating-after-25-years-old- git like me feel very welcome. The park is obviously better than my non existent skills could exploit but no one extracted the urine despite multiple slams. The outside and covered mini ramp has recently had a makeover and the ply is smooth as. It is nice and small and a perfect place to try something new without the risk of seriously damaging yourself (ish, in my case). There is loads of kit you can borrow - wrist guards, elbow and knee pads, helmets and decent full set ups. The shop is has a great array of kit so make sure you bring your wallet! If you are pretty local then it’s also worth signing up for membership as you save 2 squid a session. Finally (if you have read this far - well done you!) the social bbq’s in the summer we’re a bonus. Also my favourite price - gratis! Good work peeps. ????????

I have done a few of these now at Incarcerated and did the Tortured Soul puzzle room today; really good story line and quite tricky puzzles. Also had genuine scares and a creepy and tense atmosphere! It was a big shame we couldn’t escape but the first puzzle we came across took us a bit of time to understand, but at least we made it to the final puzzle! It is a really great way to spend an evening with friends, I can imagine it would be fun as a team building activity with work colleagues as well. The price has gone up since the first one I did at Incarcerated back in 2016 but then I do think the quality of the room has improved with lights and sounds to add to the whole experience. Great fun and thanks guys for giving me an actual fright which doesn’t often happen!

My and my now fiancé played the Sub Terra room and Alex the owner helped me to integrate my proposal into the game, it was absolutely amazing and such a special moment, I truly commend the above and beyond work that Alex went through to make this extremely special for both me and my future wife. The room itself was brilliant, all the puzzles were so interesting and very well thought out, we truly felt fully immersed in the room which made the time in there even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Having spend many happy hour at Rockstar, I can't recommend it enough to people looking for a great physical challenge with all sorts of health benefits - with great staff and people who soon become friends. The new centre is fantastic and has opened up more opportunities to learn new skills. They have now opened up an area for children, which is a relief as there is nothing worse than children running wild because parents just want to sit and drink tea. That said the 'most' children are super talented and have great parents wanting to join in. Reading some of the reviews though, a limited number of parents think this is some sort of 'softplay'. Yes this is an activity that is for all of the family and fun, but at the same time, climbing is about mind, body & responsibility. Children can learn so much from this, but please, if you take your kids, make sure you are with them to ensure correct child management, at the end of the day, this is a potentially dangerous sport.

Just returned from a weekend break with my 8 year old. Such a fantastic weekend. Excellent value for money. I expected tasteless canteen food for our 3 daily meals but it was superb and exceeded my expectations. Excellently catered to special dietary needs. The accomodation although basic was as good as most basic hotels I've stayed in. Not the most comfortable of beds for me as I need thick mattress but my son slept excellently and the room itself was great. Shower and bathroom were just what we needed, powerful and hot shower. The location is brilliant, activities are great, very well organised and never time to get bored. Perfect for very active kids who like to be busy. The staff were great, very good with the kids and hot on health and safety at all times. Would definitely go back again. It was quiet when we visited and I wondered if it would be the same experience during busier periods. I liked it with not too many people personally, it was just enough so the kids could socialise with others if they wished within their bubble and yet not too many people so as to be waiting around for dinner or activities.
