I had a great time during my taster session because I felt safe in the equiment and my instructor Ben gave me encouragement and the confidence to push myself a little bit further. At the end of the session I was very pleased with what I had achieved with Bens coaching. I would definitely recommend the taster session to my friends. Thanks Big Rock.

My son had his 18th Birthday Go-Karting yesterday (24/04/2021) Jacob is really unique- he has autism & is very particular about certain things. We were helped by Charlie who was simply amazing from start to finish. He helped organise, plan, prepare such a brilliant party. Even during the (end of thankfully) the covid pandemic we couldn’t have asked for more. The strict covid rules were applied at all times & the karting is of a real high standard. Jacob is absolutely beaming at coming first (obviously pre arranged) and spoke for the whole rest of the day about it. What an amazing experience- thank you Charlie & FF team. Five stars from us all!!

Locked In A Room

Locked In A Room is the home of the UK's largest escape venues. Participants are locked in a room with a series of tests, puzzles and clues that combined allow the unlocking of the rooms mystery and hopefully a successful escape, challenging them every step of the way. As you enter the room you will initially stand there bewildered and then... IT BEGINS!

It was our first time trying this and it was great fun So much more fun than the Xbox or PS4 This will separate the leaders from the followers Be warned stay patient pay attention and keep calm and you may just about escape , we did on our first attempt but with only 4 seconds to spare , I must admit I lost my way in there you need a strong leader this can easily test you

This has been labelled as my 10 year old son's best birthday party ever. The team at Vertigo couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating- special thanks to Gareth and Lewis. The focus really was on the kids having the best experience possible and they spoke with the children with great respect and patience. The VR pods, the VR arena and the 5D cinema have been talked about for days after and the fact that there are Playstations in the party area amazed the party guests. The space is clean and really well looked after. My 13 year old son and 8 year old daughter have now both requested their parties there for next year I can't recommend this place highly enough, we will be back as a family for rainy afternoons too

Our 2 children aged 11 and 12 took part in a Kids Climb Taster session at the Bletchley Centre, they had a great time. The instructor, Abbie, really engaged with them, they felt confident enough to challenge their fears and have fun. They both want to learn to climb on their own.

Milton Keynes Theatre

Reviewed By 28stever - Lincoln, United Kingdom

We recently went to see The Jersey boys at this lovely theatre. The show was fantastic music and songs very professional . The car parking in the multi-storey was excellently situated and very reasonable. However do be warned that the price of a small tub of icecream at £4.50 and a small wine served in a plastic container at £8.10 very expensive.
