May 13, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

Maidstone is a large, historically important town in Kent, England, of which it is the county town. The River Medway runs through the centre of the town, linking it with Rochester and the Thames Estuary. Historically, the river carried much of the town's trade as the centre of the agricultural county of Kent, known as the Garden of England. There is evidence of settlement in the area dating back before the Stone Age. The town, part of the borough of Maidstone, had a population of 107,627 people in 2011. There has been a shift in the town's economy since the Second World War away from heavy industry towards light industry and services.

We enjoy visiting Little Street and for this reason decided to have a birthday party here for our two children. The staff worked tirelessly and were so helpful. Our two children had the best time as did their friends.

We had great fun! Lots of red herrings in the game which definitely made the win even more exciting, we all talked about the game for the rest of the evening and a few people who were first time players definitely got inspired for escape rooms! Can't wait to see what you guys will bring next, looking forward to it!

It was my Birthday and I wanted to take my children of various ages to do something different (after all, I had done loads of parties for them growing up!????) I’ll be honest, when I told them my plans they weren’t too sure. However we had a fantastic time. We split into teams, watched an intro and the race was on! We darted through corridors, entered rooms of various sizes and took on various challenges. It really is well run and great fun. Definitely recommend.

We visited the new high ropes course for the first time yesterday for a birthday party and found the whole experience fantastic. The staff were all friendly, professional and helpful (Elliot was amazing and patient up on the course). Both my children (age 9&11) tried both levels of the course and loved it. We will definitely be back. They also loved the Dino golf too.

My son was invited to a birthday party, it was well planned and staff were excellent with the 18 children! They had food which was included and squash. Lovely clean play area for the toddlers and there is a snack drink area for the adults to use. Very friendly and easy to find. There is parking too (which is a bonus) I highly recommend as staff can't do enough. especially for birthday parties!

Visited for the first time today with my 18 month old and her friend. My daughter had the best time! Fully recommend. The place was very clean and there weren't many people there which was nice. Staff explain covid requirements on entry and are friendly. The food was reasonably priced and very tasty. As we were leaving, staff were thoroughly cleaning everything ready for the next session. Will definitely be coming back, thank you for a lovely experience.
