Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The centre was clean and tidy."
  • "Nice and clean venue. Plenty of staff about."
  • "The main arena has improved with a fab parkour area."
  • "They have changed the place loads again and it looks great."
  • "Great fun for all ages my 5yr old had so much fun. Lots of space and different types of trampolines."
  • "First time doing a kids party at Flip out, brilliant kids loved it, the food was great and plenty almost too much but rather have that than not enough."

Cons:

  • "The actual trampolines which take up the most space aren't even that bouncy."
  • "The place is not cleaned properly, always dirty in places and rubbish around, even on the first session in the morning when it should have been cleaned the night before?"
  • "Kids soft play was so dusty, like thick dust that other kids had written their names in, and drawn a rude pic!"
  • "The place was looking a little tired around the edges."
  • "Flip out has really gone down hill recently. It's really falling into disrepair."
  • "The cleaning crew don't really clean between sessions."
  • "The idea is good but the execution is very much floored because there aren't enough activity items for the amount of people."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Kids loved it and prices are reasonable."
  • "Went for mini flippers very good value for money our daughter throughly enjoyed the trampolines and the mini soft play."
  • "2hrs jumping, Hot dog, wedges and a slush plus socks for £20. I thought that was pretty good value."
  • "Go here all the time with my 6 & 11 yr olds. Especially like the after dark sessions as really good value for money."
  • "For a very good price you get 1 hour on the trampolines and then back to the party room for drinks and food."
  • "Absolutely brilliant deal here during term time. Just a tenner for two hours bouncing with pizza, wedges, and a drink to finish with."
  • "Cafe reasonably priced."

Cons:

  • "Brilliant fun for children, but very expensive for children over five."
  • "The socks alone were going to cost us £9 that's before we've even got in."
  • "It was expensive and I had to pay for socks when we got there and they cost £2.50 each."
  • "Luckily we paid half price with Groupon for our tickets otherwise its roughly £15 per person for just an hour."
  • "The party service is not the best. When they saw that some people have the socks already, they took the new one away, but its included in the package."
  • "Went for the first time yesterday (10/4/16) prices are outrageous for just an hour on the trampolines plus you have to pay for 'special' socks."
  • "For the price you have to pay it is completely overpriced."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

  • "Ample parking, viewing gallery, food and drinks."
  • "Best to get here in time to complete the registration details if you haven't been here before."
  • "Book ahead. You might be surprised by the parking you do have go around the back of the industrial units."
  • "Great place to bring the kids. Friendly helpful colleagues. Great fun."
  • "Great trampolining for the kids. Very well organised by the staff."
  • "All the family had a great time, quite a few people waiting, but worth it."
  • "Great place to let the kids run off a bit of energy."

Cons:

  • "No cafe to sit in either so parents have to stand around."
  • "Also, I spent 20 mins in the car park waiting for a space - it was manic and apparently it's quite often like that."
  • "Parking can prove a bit difficult."
  • "There is no lift to allow disabled or those with buggies to get up to the cafe and viewing platform."
  • "Chaos trying to get in! There were roadworks causing one lane being closed so was a nightmare getting in."
  • "We arrived in plenty of time to start our session but we had to queue in quite a disorganised queue."
  • "The only downside is that the cafe doesn't serve hot food in the evening despite flip out being open until 9pm on that day."

Customer Experience

Pros:

  • "It was excellent. If you like sport and you want to feel like you are 10 years old again, this place is ideal for you."
  • "Seen about this place through a chat site about it having a soft play area for babies/toddlers and was very pleasantly surprised when I got there."
  • "Had a great evening here for my son's birthday."
  • "The staff were fun and helpful, the park layout is good."
  • "A great place to take kids! My 4 year old (and I!) had a great time bouncing."
  • "Really fun place to take kids young or old!"
  • "Great fun for kids. Good for birthday parties."

Cons:

  • "The mis-spelt video is too fast for young children to hear and understand the important safety rules."
  • "Atrocious. Me and my girlfriend booked a daytime session (1:30 - 3) but it was completely overbooked- no trampolines were free due to overcrowding."
  • "Very strict on who's allowed in the trampoline area but under 5 area is chaos."
  • "Its a horrible atmosphere where you're just constantly being watched by the employees."
  • "The trampolines are so much fun but the only thing that ruined my experience is that one of the staff... was flirting with customers."
  • "The website also does not clearly state that some areas are entirely out of bound for older children which is rather misleading."
  • "It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cramped. They let too many people in at one time."
