We called up and booked the secret bunker on the same day and the owner was really accomodating despite it being pretty last minute. The room itself was great fun, all clues were all in one room, unlike others I have visited which have spread over a couple of rooms, however, I found this added to the enjoyment rather than detract from it as there was plenty to do and investigate so everyone could get involved. The other members of my team agreed saying they felt much more involved with this game than ones historically. It was the right balance of fun and challenge. We managed to escape though did require a little nugde in the right direction a couple of times. Cannot fault it in any way and will definitely be back to do the other room and joyously there is a further room in development. Loved being able to dress up at the end. Would recommend!

Some buzz. Booked a mini grand prix event for 18 with the utmost ease and helpfulness thanks to Glen and it was outstanding. Actual racing itself was fast-paced, well organised and superb value for money. Staff were welcoming and attentive. I look forward to returning soon for much needed practice laps and for the grand prix to be an annual tradition.

Callendar Park has wonderful extensive grounds and woodlands and a lovely wee loch with seats around it which are ideal for enjoying a picnic. After our walk in the colourful autumn woods we went to the House, once a private residence, for lunch in the upstairs restaurant with the impressive original fireplace and beautifully decorated ceiling. The whole experience was most enjoyable with all covid regulations met and charming staff. Lunch was delicious and afternoon teas are available by booking online. The museum part of the house is on several levels from the basement kitchen upwards through the oak staircase and charts the progress of the area from Roman to modern times. Toilets are spacious, wheelchair friendly and clean and there is a small shop on exit. Check online to find opening times and more information.

Falkirk's laser game arena situated just minutes outside the town centre is a great day out for children and big kids to. After a 5 min safety briefing you are kitted up in the latest laser sensitive equipment and sent to battle in a darkened medieval castle themed arena shooting the enemy to score points.

I am a local in Falkirk and have known this pub for years but have never been much of a fan. However I recently found out it had been taken over by new owners so thought I would give it another try. I was blown away by the service! The new owners were so welcoming and attentive. Me and my friends have now made this our weekly pub. I have thoroughly enjoyed every night I have spent here and look forward to more in the future. It truly is a hidden gem, A must if you are ever visiting Falkirk.
