We held a 5th birthday Party for our little girl here and it was a fantastic day. Our party was hosted by Sonia and Yasmin who were brilliant ,they had prepared our Party room/eating area before we had arrived and greeted us on arrival making sure our guests found where we was seated.The kids were fully entertained in one way or another whether they was working there round the play area or having fun dancing with Cosmo the dragon and staff. Big thanks to Yasmin and Sonia as they made our day very enjoyable and full of fun for the kids.Needless to say we would definitely use ‘Partyman’ again.????

We've visited twice as a family of five with two middle school age children. One of them had also attended an 11 year old 's birthday party here about a month prior, and has been talking about it since. It's a really good venue. The first time, we booked online in advance and arrived on a Friday around 5pm. It was busy, giving a great atmosphere. The music was great and staff were very helpful, realising it was our first time. It cost approximately £60 for two games each. Note that on most days, under 18s cannot be on the premises beyond 7pm. The games are digitally tracked, with each ball assigned to a player. It detects how many times you putt to get the ball into the hole and calculates your score accordingly, displaying all scores on a screen directly above each game. In some of the games (wheel of fortune ones), if you get a hole in one, you win a free pizza or a free drink. The second time we came here, we had lunch first. It was a Saturday at 1pm, and surprisingly, less busy than on our Friday visit. We had no reservation so it was a walk-in but there was no wait. The food was superb. Good quality. I had pork belly, one of our group had beef skewers, another had pizza, and the other two had burgers. The children had milkshakes - an oreo flavoured one and a bannoffee flavored one. They said they tasted awesome. There is a good selection of starters, sides and mains. We did not look at the dessert menu. They have regular putt fries, curly fries, sweet potato fries, a range of salads and a few other sides. All dishes we had were very tasty. The bill came to £80 for the drinks, milkshakes and mains for the five of us. Music was great again. I recall a tune by Eve feat. Gwen Stefani titled 'Let me blow ya mind' for example - clean version ????. After the meal, we had a round of the mini golf (free with the meal, due to a voucher) and we all went home happy. The decor is great and the bar is well stocked. It has a grown up vibe while being ok for children. I would say it's good for children over the age of 8 and ideal for teens and adults. I could still take an even younger child there if I wanted to. We're all fans and we'll be back.
7. Lakeside Karting
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 204 reviews
900 metres long... ten challenging corners... three full blast straights... two daunting hairpins... it all adds up to one of the fastest, most demanding kart circuits in the country. In 390cc Race prepped Sodikarts, you'll be sitting an inch off the ground and hitting speeds of 60-70mph - definitely one of the most sensational experiences on four wheels

Took some friends who were visiting from Scotland. The 3 children were novices aged 9, 13 and 14. They all had such a great time The staff were all excellent, reception (Charlotte) race director (Scott), the pit crew and Marshalls. Everyone was friendly and helpful The karts were superbly matched and when the drivers came off they were all buzzing about the racing Would definitely recommend this and will visit again

Brilliant from start to finish. Kept the kids entertained for a few hours for Halloween,. Very clean through the park from reception to the trampolines, sanitizers every where, every one wearing masks and if they wasn’t they was asked too. Special thanks to Your manager Krystal who was very helpful explaining the process to us as we hadn’t been before, even checked up on us half way through and helped my daughter who was upset when she couldn’t find her little brother. I will definitely be back, it’s great to have some where to take the kids to tire them out during these rough times.

This place is just great for the kids age 5 and 9 plus mum and dad ; ) Really enjoyed teaching my kid's how to jump from trampoline to trampoline. The staff are great. We had an issue with some of my group arriving at the other Jump Giants location but the lovely staff arranged with the manager to extend our jump time so they could make it down and have jump time. Big thumbs up to the staff overlooking the trampolines they made sure everybody was following the rules to ensure the safety of everyone. One thing I would say is make sure to take everything you will need out of your bag before u place it in a locker, the £1 is not reusable we ended up spending £4 on a locker.
