Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "Thank you Luke for the amazing experience."
  • "Thank you to LLOYD and TAYLOR/JORDAN."
  • "The venue was immaculately clean and all staff friendly and helpful!"
  • "A young woman named Poppy was so helpful and friendly and she made the experience even better for my siblings."
  • "They are really helpful with children with extra sensory needs and allergies."
  • "A team member who really stood out was Poppy, she was very polite and lovely."
  • "Every single member of staff were so helpful and treat us like royalty for the whole duration."

Cons:

  • "Brought our own helmets, but the staff were undecided between themselves if we were allowed to use them, or not."
  • "Came here for a nice quiet evening karting... Unfortunately, this was one of the worst ones."
  • "Absolute shambles!"
  • "Do not go karting here! The marshalls spent 3 minutes trying to find reverse in an 8 minute session."
  • "Booking in process very complicated."
  • "Disgusting customer services and what an absolute joke the young members of staff are, they have no respect and people skills whatsoever."
  • "Just met the most mannerless young ladies ever at the karts, rude untrained and not ready to assist."

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The venue was immaculately clean and all staff friendly and helpful!"
  • "The Gravity complex had something for all, the older children enjoyed the go-karting, the younger ones the trampolining and all children enjoyed the sky-coaster and interactive games boxes!"
  • "The place is clean, well organised and the staff are welcoming and friendly."
  • "Maintaining a high standard of cleanliness is crucial for any venue, and Gravity excels in this regard."
  • "Trampolines and tables always clean and it’s a decent price given how expensive everything else is at the moment."
  • "The park itself is great. The kids loved it and an hour was more than enough for them."
  • "Well presented track and karts in good condition."

Cons:

  • "Some of the park was out of bounds awaiting repair I think. Plus there was a lot of tape over holes around the park. One of the hoops for the basketball was broken."
  • "They claim to have lockers to store your valuables but they’re almost all already broken into."
  • "Seems like a budget trampoline park without the budget admissions, poorly set out with minimal trampolines, no jump boxes or anything special."
  • "Tables full of rubbish people’s leftovers, staff don’t have a clue what they are doing really just stood about."
  • "Not the cleanest of places, rubbish all over, seems nobody tidies around or uses bins."
  • "Trampolines had big hole in covered with tape if a child fell through it honestly brake both legs!"
  • "Tables and chairs are cheap and nasty, floor is damaged, lockers don’t work."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "We had our works Christmas do here, 18 of us E-Karting, it was brilliant, even the petrol heads loved it."
  • "Had a great experience here. Nothing to fault whatsoever and a great day out."
  • "Absolutely amazing, would 10/10 recommend, very reasonably priced as well for what it is, very fast karts and an amazing experience."
  • "Booked on line cheaper if you book both activities together."
  • "The summer passes are 100% worth it, £20 for 3 months worth of Gravity for free."
  • "The bar near the karting area was another positive aspect of Gravity. Affordable drinks coupled with friendly staff."
  • "Free refill slush helps keep cool."

Cons:

  • "£33 for an hour bounce and socks for two children. It is seriously poor value for money."
  • "We went on the karts and had 8 minutes but nearly half the time was spent going slow."
  • "They slow the karts down whenever there’s an issue so didn’t feel like we got our moneys worth."
  • "Expensive for the size it is - our local one is half the price & twice the size."
  • "Extremely expensive, £11 to jump for an hour and extra 2.50 if you don't already have a pair of their socks."
  • "Absolutely fuming with this place...paid £85 to them for 7 kids to play for an hour... Nearly £100 for 45 minutes."
  • "Overall, poor value for money tbh."

Safety and Organization

Pros:

  • "A safety video to watch first then Balaclava on and pick your kart that your name is against. Had a race round with 5 others. Great bit of fun."
  • "You're shown a safety video before you're allowed to bounce and not a single child or parent pays any attention to it."
  • "Far faster than any other go karts I’ve been on before, and it felt a lot safer."
  • "They do warm up before the session and giving briefing what is genius I think."
  • "Great safe environment for all ages of children."
  • "A vast selection of trampolines and inflatables."
  • "Libby (party host) was great and very helpful and definitely deserves promotion."

Cons:

  • "Do not go karting here! The marshalls spent 3 minutes trying to find reverse in an 8 minute session."
  • "Booking in process very complicated."
  • "Wont be returning and definitely would not recommend to anyone who values their child's safety."
  • "Absolutely no protocol for any kind of distancing or cleanliness."
  • "The confirmation email tells you to arrive 30 mins early. If they are busy that isn't enough."
  • "Zero use of the flags by the marshalls."
  • "A massive safety hazard."
