My son book tickets for the Dino Land experience for us and his three children ages 7, 9 and 11 and we had a brilliant time, the best thing about it was great fun for everyone from youngest to eldest. We were taken round by our own Ranger Mandi who was never far away if we needed help but also left us on our own to work through the clues together; these ranged from some quite easy to some needing a bit of thought which made us work together. Best activity we have done as a family for a long time and as soon as we had finished all three children were looking to see what they could do next. Thank you also for the staff who were very accomadating even though we were a bit late arriving.

The Mug and Meeple is a gamer cafe for everyone. With free wifi for customers, a comfy seating area and great coffee and tea you can just come and relax. But why would you want to when you could have access to our extensive board game library or take part in one of our many organised clubs or activities. Our staff will help you choose and play the right game for you.

We spent the afternoon here - friendly, welcoming staff, a great selection of games to play, and we'll definitely be back! We actually felt a little bit guilty that we spent so little - £15 between the three of us for the table rental and some coffees, which is absurdly cheap for the hours of fun that we had. They also have a large selection of games for sale, so we plan on buying some next time just to show our support! Thanks Mug and Meeple, and see you again soon!

I’m a regular visitor to Reanimated Games aka R.G and love the nostalgia trip every time I visit. I get to play games from my childhood and also try out the consoles I didn’t have back then. The Game Library is extensive and there’s some interesting pieces in the collection too! The staff are really friendly and know their stuff. Snacks are readily available with locally produced tea and the prices are good. They also have some gaming themed merchandise available to buy. I’m looking forward to the tournaments and getting back onto the high score boards.

A great experience hosted by a very enthusiastic and caring host. We have played over 40 games each and this had a great array of puzzles and the spec was great. I would recommend this and cannot wait for the next room, sounds exciting! Thanks.

I took my grandsons aged 5 and 7years old here because the weather had been so awful. We stayed for 4hours and had lunch at the little cafe there. They had the most wonderful time in the waves and on the flumes we forgot about the rain, thunder and lightening which was going on outside. They are already asking to go back.
