Just had my boy’s 6th birthday party there. Friendly staff, age-appropriate games and a really reasonable price. Toilet facilities are perhaps a tad on the functional side, but that’s clutching at straws for a negative commment. Will certainly be on the list for future birthdays.

Public gaming only Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons when not half term and can get busy during these sessions but great value for money, only five pounds for three hours and all games free thereafter. Approximately fifty retro game cabinets and every old game you can think of. Also air hockey, pool table, food and drink available. Good way to spend three hours. Will be returning.

My grandson loves this place. The young staff are friendly and accommodating and engage with him in a fun way. The seating and coffee shop are in a great position and the food and drinks are reasonable. I recommend it especially for younger children. He is nearly 6.

We held my son's 6th birthday party at Monkey Bizness today, and it was fantastic! We went for the early risers package, which was great value (£150) and lasted 2 hours. As part of the package, we could have up to 50 children, and included all activities (soft play, skating rink and climbing wall). We had sole use of the entire venue for the first 30 minutes of the party, which was nice as we were able to get settled before anyone else could come in. This was my first time at Monkey Bizness, and I was very impressed. It's huge and has something for all ages. Our 1 year old daughter loved the sensory room, and the birthday boy loved everything else! The cleanliness was great (I had several people comment on how clean it was), and its set out really well. I've read other reviews saying that the security is lacking, and that kids can get out of the gates. That certainly wasn't the case today, as the gates have a magnetic lock and need a member of staff at the desk to open it (maybe this is new), so I felt the kids were very safe. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful, and regularly came to check that we were ok. Summer was fabulous! She was on hand during the whole party and couldn't have done enough to make sure everyone had a good time. She was great with the kids to, and really got them going when it was time to sing happy birthday. Summer took the cake and the boxes for it that we provided, and cut it up for us (this was a huge help considering we had 50 cake boxes to fill)! Overall it was a fabulous morning, and I'd definitely hold another party here. Thanks to all the staff for making my son's birthday 'the best day ever' (his words)!
