Had an amazing time playing the wild West room with a few of my friends, some of the puzzles were incredibly inventive and the room really made us work as a team, which was fun. Janos was a great host, giving just the right amount of hints to keep things fun. Also, in this place if you don't finish you can get an explanation of where you went wrong and how much you had left, which is very interesting. Overall a great experience and will come back when the new room opens in 2020.

We visited as a family of 5, our kids are 4,6 and 8 and it was great fun. The staff are really helpful and friendly: one man noticed my littlest girl (who was a bit overwhelmed and couldn't choose a game) and showed her a nice simple game to play. The older two were in heaven, there was a great variety of games and they have capped the number of visitors just right so it didn't feel empty but no one was queuing for any games at all. I loved the fact that they could have as many turns on each game as they wanted without having to worry about their money running out. There's pacman, shooting games, mario/sonic Olympics, dance games, air hockey, basketball hoop games, fruit ninja, motorbikes and car games and old fashioned pinball machines. The hour long session was just right for my younger kids but I think the 8yr old could have stayed for another hour given the chance! We're planning to go back without the kids as soon as it reopens. I would highly recommend a visit!

The variety of things to paint is perfect, not too little and not too many that you can’t decide. The prices are competitive and the annual family membership card has paid for itself !! The staff are fabulous and are welcoming and always happy to help or offer advice. You never feel rushed into finishing within an hour, which is lovely as Rome wasn’t painted in a day ???????? My children love the ‘foam clay’ as an alternative to painting, as it means they can take their creations home immediately. I totally love this place, although struggling to find places for my children’s creations as a result of numerous visits. They also have professionally painted items dotted around to give you inspiration and run classes in the evening or hold adult-only painting sessions.

Visited on a Gin Thursday, needless to say didn't have a gin! The racecourse is beautifully kept and the set up great. Able to watch the horses being saddled, pre parade ring, the jockeys mounting and cantering down to the stalls. Everywhere clean and the staff exceptional. It takes us 5 hours travelling but we shall come again.

Visited for the first time with my 3 year old. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we had a great time. Was the perfect age for the activities on offer - we went on all the outdoor climbing and play equipment, the doughnut ring slide, the go karts and the tractor ride. The little village of houses was particularly popular for imaginative play. The highlight was the little toy train ride - not so much the ride itself but Scott who was operating it. He was great with the kids, chatting to them and making them laugh with his comedy falling over routine which he kept up all day! All the kids loved it. Was a weekday so really quiet and no queuing at all. Indoor soft play was closed because of Covid but looks good. Would recommend for a fun family day out.

Have visited this area since childhood and still feels just as relaxing. Small park area for the children, leisure centre and river running through with lovely walks. Plenty of parking available. A pleasure.
