  • "Staff were polite and accommodating."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "They supplied everything for my daughters cake, food and drinks plus 4 hours of non stop play."
  • "Good opportunity to earn money and spend it on learning new skills."
  • "Highly recommend purchasing tickets via KidsPass App for a bit of discount, only £7.50 but definitely makes a difference as it's not the cheapest day out."
  • "The entry price is very reasonable and as parents of 8 and over do not have to stay that can make it even cheaper if parents wish."
  • "Worth the money and kids have a blast."
  • "You get KidZo credits when you arrive, which you can use to 'pay' for some activities."
  • "The passport and lanyard are worth it if you can afford it."

Cons:

  • "I would describe it as the opposite of value for money."
  • "The prices are ridiculous and the staff are shocking, just take your money and throw it in the bin and save yourself one of the worst days of your life!"
  • "Very poor value."
  • "Not cool, especially considering how much we paid for the visit."
  • "This place is NOT worth the ticket price."
  • "The child credits are a joke considering the rip off prices in the shop after the event."
  • "Photos at £12 for one! extortionate better off to introduce a photostrip for £5 as a keepsake."

Facilities and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "The area was quiet spacious and lots of different things for the kids to do from window cleaning to being a pilot, veterinarian, nurse, courier, artist, spy etc great selection kids really enjoyed it."
  • "Every location was greatly enjoyed by the boys, and I was particularly impressed by the accessibility for the wheelchair as well as the staff’s interaction with the 12yr old, he was fully involved in everything he chose to do."
  • "There is a nice chill out area for parents only if it all gets a bit intense."
  • "The design of the city is high quality and kept clean, you do feel immersed in it."
  • "Facilities - they had clean toilets and many benches to sit whilst the children do their activities."
  • "The layout is good and it’s easy to navigate, main areas are very clean and tidy, as are the bathroom facilities."
  • "Nice place for kids in case it’s raining. A simulation of a real city dedicated to kids."

Cons:

  • "The inadequate signage and lack of clear information on how to navigate the venue were yet another added frustration."
  • "The lifts were not working, so someone with a pram and a younger child it was difficult to get around."
  • "Everything had a queue even to go to the toilet and to leave, which caused one of my kids to wet themselves."
  • "Lifts where not working, so made it impossible for any disabled and pram users to access the 2nd floor."
  • "Ceiling is hanging exposing bits on roof was concerned it could fall."
  • "An absolute nightmare. There is pretty much nothing to do if your kid is younger than four."
  • "Toilets are awful, smelly & disgusting!! With no soap or paper towels (no hend-dryers)."
