My son absolutely loved every bit of this place. He is beside me now and is going now to tell me what his best parts were. He loved the huge slide, the airport and the garda station. The scanner he thought was excellent. The disco room was also a beautiful hidden gem. Upstairs was brilliant and what they do for kids in wheelchair from what I could see was fantastic. How this place has only 4 reviews is quite astonishing as it should have 1000s for brilliant reviews Thanks

Our group (5 adults and 7 children ages 3-14)had the pleasure of visiting Zone last week. Needless to say they catered for every age group in one site. We enjoyed, Go Karting, Bowling and soft play as well as the delicious but nessasary fresh coffee for the adults! This was my first time to visit a facility like this since the lockdown and i was very impressed and reassured of the new protocols and safety measures the staff delivered. its clear by all the new equipment, new suits, helmets and disposable balaclava that they have spared no expense in upgrading the facility to take account of the new covid measures. What made this place different to anywhere else I've visited since Covid was the genuineness of the personal service we received from the staff and particularly the owner (sorry i can't recall her name). Its clear from the face-lift and freshness of the facility that they not only invested hard work and energy into reopening. While they cannot facilitate the numbers and bookings they once enjoyed due to the restrictions on numbers, i truly hope they day will again some day. Each person was required to sanitise and complete form on entry. There were sanitisation points everywhere i looks and a one way system and the bowling balls were all sanitised in front of us before we began the game. While there was extra paperwork to complete it didn't take away from the experience and we felt reassured and safe. Our visit reminded me why its so important to support small businesses and their hard work. We had a ball, everyone had smiling faces as we left which can be difficult to satisfy when you have kids in our age range. They are already talking about when we are going back. We dont live nearby and were on Staycation in the Ancient East but will definitely drive 1hr to enjoy the fun again. #makememories thanks to Zone. Julie Ann

So much to do here, great variety in the rides for kids of all ages. Staff are helpful too. Only downside is nearby parking is hard to get on a sunny day

Did paintballing with friends and had an absolutely brilliant time. The paintballing itself was a lot of fun and the staff member we had for the activity was absolutely great, and overall, made the experience way better. I would definitely go back again with friends.
