Price and Value

Pros:

  • "It is affordable I would say price wise."

  • "The kids had a fab time and my niece and i had a great catching up time. We will definitely be back very soon."

Cons:

  • "There's a variety of activities for kids to enjoy if that's what you are looking for. I would understand the high price compared to other indoor playhouses."
  • "The only thing that lets this place down is the food. It has definitely gotten worse since our last visit in September. We ordered some scrambled eggs on toast."
  • "There is a licenced café which lets face it can turn a children's party into something bearable, and the food and drink is reasonable."
  • "Great place but many extra fees: £2 per adult just to enter, not participate £2 parking £2 to have a locker to put your jackets £2 per child trampoline socks."
  • "However, the whole place felt extremely cold, not sure if the heating was even turned on. People were sat with their coats on, which dampened our experience of the place."
  • "3 months ago I would’ve given this place five stars however today we have come and the price has gone up by a £1."
  • "A nice modern space, good size with a variety of activities. Food is average. The cleanliness of the under 3 area is poor and needs a THOROUGH clean."
  • "Visited last weekend, amazing facilities and good food. However, the whole place felt extremely cold, not sure if the heating was even turned on."
