    Amazing fun day out for all the kids and even the adults too. We went for a birthday trip for the Snow fun park where there was a giant snow slide, snow area and mini snow slide and house. We had to arrive earlier than the booked slot to prepare, but also the venue was packed full, you needed the extra time for parking too. Parking is a couple of £s. The snow park was amazing, lots of fun to be had in 30 mins. We all had a great time on the slide and would highly recommend and would come back again. At the snow dome, there was also ice skating, swimming pool, skiing and rock climbing, lots of fun for everyone.

    We visited for the winter wonderland Santa experience. It was amazing and magical Real snow, sledging, Christmas trees, decorations and slides my daughter loved it. It was followed by a stage show of Cinderella and Santa then through to see a selection of animals, hot chocolate and a Christmas merry-go-round. The show was really good and entertaining. Well worth the money and I'll happily go again !

    Came this week! So no one else for the day pass of the 6 hour skiing lesson set. Adam K taught me and a family member - he was really patient and calm; a great teacher! Snow slope was good as it was steeper one end and had flat bits and a good corner. Rope system was sound but elevator could be slightly faster. Lunch was limited and basic but ok. I think it is slightly too expensive for me. There is a surprise at the entrance - a £2.50 car park fee. Make sure u bring quite a few 20p coins as the lockers require them and they’re a one use coin, so if u open the locker, you have to put a new 20p in! Overall, a great experience and will be back for the advanced ski 3 hour lesson

    We were there for winter wonderland to see Santa's show and it was just perfect for our kids and for ourselves as well. Definitely we will return there because you can do a lot of things. And we definitely recommend this wonderful place !

    We did "learn to snowboard in a day" it was quite expensive but it was a really good day out. The only problem was how busy it was, it was really hard learning to go down the slope in quite tight areas between other people without wiping yourself or others out. (We went on a Saturday, when everyone was getting ready to go on a holiday). We were recommended by the instructors to do a midweek session in the warmer summer months as nobody goes and you get the whole slope.

    First time Indoor skiing, this is a nice place especially for beginners to learn and practice. Friendly staff. Only downside is the space is not that big, 3 sections of short slopes, a bit small for intermediate and above.

    Amazing and large Ice rink. There are also a place for kids with fake snow, restaurant and you can even go skiing or snowboarding. I would definitely recommend it and go back! Only disadvantage: you have to pay £9 for a penguin if you are new to ice skating. The enter costs £12.5! They also need to refresh the ice during the day so you don't get stuck while ice skating.

    Great for the kids ...with sledges to pull and small slides and tubes to go on. Real snow on the ground and cold so wrap up warm 😁 The mini panto was brilliant and the actors and actresses made it fun for the kids...and a lovely way to warm up. The mini zoo and fairground attractions kept the kids happy and the letter to santa area was a nice addition. Great afternoon would recommend.

    Recently went to the winter wonderland experience with my 8 year old son and had a fantastic time. He loved it. Food in the restaurant as well was excellent. We also did swimming whilst there!

    We had booked for the Winter Wonderland as it was advertised for children aged 2-16. Our children are 10, 13 and 15. We were very disappointed and felt it was not value for money for their age group. Only one snow slide in the winter wonderland area was big enough for them (others were aimed at much younger children) and there were so many people going on they only got 2-3 slides. The panto was OK, about 20-30 mins. Santas village was disappointing. The animals are cute but the carousel has a sign next to it saying height restriction and all three of my children were too tall to ride. When I complained to the manager at the end she said "sorry you didn't enjoy it, everyone else seems to and comes back year on year". I did explain that I think it would be very good for younger children but recommending for up to age 16 is not ideal. If if had at least included ice skating they would have been happier but that would have cost us an extra £70+ on top of the £150+ we had already spent.

    I went with my mum and sister for a day out and it was really fun and I highly recommend it. I did the skiing section so that's the part that I'm recommending you would do as it was very fun and I find it pretty realistic. One reason why I'm giving this four stars not 5 is because on the lower levels you have to hold a rope which can hurt your hands and is quite annoying so I recommend having strong hand grip. Also the food isn't the best but the drinks are really nice. I would not recommend buying the pizzas but the loaded fries are good. I found this experience very fun and brought my confidence back to skiing

    Love this place. It's well worth keeping an eye out for the many deals they have on as you can often get a good discount. On this occasion I was doing a Fast Track 1 snowboard lesson. 3 hours of awesomeness 😁 The instructors are superb, Matt in this case was our snowboard instructor and had the whole group doing solo runs by the end of the session. There is a learning slope that is in the picture and then the main slope where you can go once you know what you are doing. Also at the dome is a mass of kids activities to have a go at (snow tubing, ice skating, climbing etc) and restaurants. You could easily make a day of it. Nearby is a large lake if you fancy some fresh air and their is plenty of parking which is £2ish. Tip 1: Make sure you have 20p for the lockers! It's non refundable. Tip 2: If you are on the slope it gets really warm really quickly. Don't out too many layers on. Tip 3: Take a bottle of water for a lesson.

    I've been looking for a venue where parents and children can learn to climb together. This is the perfect place for me and my daughter to learn climbing. The staff were amazing, they went above and beyond to help us! There was also ice skating, swimming pool and skiing, lots of fun for everyone. Car park is free for the first 30 minutes then £2.

    Good place to visit, kids enjoyed it. However wasn’t clear we needed to book ice skating ring at extra cost, was also informed on email arrive 30 min early, which we did and then was told couldn’t go in for another 20 min. The Cinderella show with Santa was good. Parking was reasonable.

    Lovely little day out. Went for the winter wonderland but would like to go back and try out the other activities they offer

  • 4/5 Rose J. 4 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    We book the ski class and went there yesterday. When we arrived we been told the parking space is full and we have to pad 10 pounds. To Park somewhere else. We do like the ski experience and the level 1 class is absolutely beginner friendly. But I really hate the rob, worse equipment ever to take you up to ski if you hand get slippery you will fail down.

    Had a brilliant day today at the SnowDome. We were there with a private party (that was fantastic - thank you to the Brain Tumour Trust). The actual dome itself was beautifully decorated inside, very exciting on arrival. On entering the Christmas experience, again well set up waiting area where helmets were there for children (compulsory) and adults (optional). As the doors opened for our slot, it's was to a snowy scene and a good supply of sledges. It goes in a loop - we went right and started with the large snow slide (you go down on rings). We then pulled the children round on the sledges, although the temptation of snow was too much, so lots of stopping and throwing of snowballs! There are two smaller slides on the way round, as well as two selfie opportunities - one in a sleigh and the other in large baubles. By the time we got back to the beginning we had run out of time and the trumpet rang for the pantomime. This was Cinderella with a cast of 4, one being Santa. He was brilliant, as was the whole show. The children loved it, from the little ones, to my older ones (age 11) as they made it modern and relevant. After this you exit at the top to Santa's Village, where there are lots of animals to see - lamas, pigs, goats, rabbits and our favourite 25+ super cute guinea pigs! There were lots of photo ops, a talking postbox you could write letters and post into, plus a carousel ride. All in all this lasted about an hour and a half. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with an 8 and two 11 year old- the only reason I've not given the full five stars is that we could have spent longer in the snow area at the start. For another visit, my kids definitely liked the look of the ski slopes too!

    We went climbing yesterday. My son is afraid of heights, but staff was fantastic, they went above and beyond to help him and he loved it! He had a great time and we will definitely go back. Thank you so much, Niko was thrilled!

  • 5/5 Jake E. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good for a day of activity. Did the Level 1 ski lesson which was thoroughly enjoyable. Equipment hire is included in the price, do heed the notice about wearing warm waterproof clothes. Food in the Aspen bar is nice and good views of the main slope. The place is well recommended and good value for money!

  • 5/5 Laurie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Learn to snowboard day. A very good experience, went from complete beginner to being able to control speed, change direction and link turns. The instructor Paul was great, friendly and gave clear instructions / pointers. Very good facilities and equipment.

    Went today for a 2hr beginner group lesson on the June promotion. Had an amazing time!! Our instructor Zadie was fantastic and made the experience fun and enjoyable! Will definitely return

  • 5/5 Corene N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for family fun. Kids did ice skating and climbing walls, but there was also skiing and swimming fun to do another day. Aspen dinner was great for quick tasty food: burgers, pizza etc. Order on QR code and food arrived promptly.

  • 5/5 Ludmila R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Santa Winter Wonderland adventure. Everything was really good organized. One way system. Take care you are starting with snow zone for first 30 min, so is really important to not be late, after are Santa theatre, after animals and carousel room. We did not know that we can not choose the rooms for ourselves. Otherwise was great. See you next year.

  • 3/5 Tanya H. 6 months ago on Google
    Went with 18 month old, 2 year old and 3 year old. Over all it was a lovely day. Only changes I'd make are being ushered through each of the experiences, which meant we missed the chance to go on a couple of the slides. The panto was a bit intense and a bit long for the younger ones and they possibly could do with a couple more rides in the winter village at the end. It's literally just a carousel. The animals were fab and visually it was great!

  • 4/5 Ralf P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic to get the real snow experience. We did Sat and Sun morning and Sat was far busier. 9-11 wasn't too bad but 11-12 was REALLY busy. Lockers require a 20p so you need lose change.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good, fun activities under one roof. We swam, climbed and played in the snow. The kids had a lovely time. All in all it was reasonable value for money.

  • 3/5 The RR Project (. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to have your fix for snow sport during the summer month. Recommend either going early in the morning or late evening to avoid crowds. Magic carpet to the top and rope to halfway on the other side.

  • 5/5 Laura K. 6 months ago on Google
    Booked ice-skating for the wrong day. The lady on reception was really lovely and managed to arrange it so that we could still skate. Absolute life saver, can't imagine just taking 4 kids straight back home!! The rink is smaller at this time of year as the speed skating part is closed for the Santa's grotto. It felt well run and not too busy. It was also very festive, if you want to get into the Christmas spirit this will do the trick

  • 5/5 Esma 10 months ago on Google
    Great place. The viewing gallery could be longer but otherwise a great way to spend a day off with or without the kids. Plenty of toilets, a dining area and a great coffee shop. This time we took the toddlers ice skating. We hired the seals for them to sit on whilst we pushed them around. There is a central rink and an outer circle to go round in. There are also ‘polar bears’ or ‘penguins’ to learn skating with and are priced per person. Note the ski/snowboard sessions come without outerwear hire. Boots, helmet and snowboard are included but don’t forget waterproof coats, trousers and gloves. The first time we went we made the mistake of not wearing waterproof and we were cold and soaked at the end of the fantastic session!

  • 5/5 Samantha S. 6 months ago on Google
    Came for a fun night of ice skating , alittle busier than we expected so had to be more cautious with 2 children and people whizzing past and cutting through them , but they enjoyed it , will maybe choose a quieter time next time

  • 5/5 john J. 10 months ago on Google
    How can it be that you're all so professional? I couldn't say anything wrong with the staff. Very well trained with customer service. I finished my snowboarding lesson, I did it a couple of times though, the instructors were so kind, knowledgeable and very encouraging. Thank you Ollie, Emily, Dean, Adam, Ben, Charlie and Josh. My anxiety is on the roof every time but my instructors were so happy with my little achievements 🤣🤣🤣 kudos 💪💪💪

  • 5/5 Samitha D. 7 months ago on Google
    Good place to learn snowboarding and skiing. Restaurant and other facilities available. Decent size car park. First 20mins in the car park is free and £2.50 for the session.

  • 5/5 Blue Bean P. 1 year ago on Google
    We love to come to this place as a family. It's worth keeping an eye out for a deal as they often have many on. We book our ski holidays through the Crystal Ski satellite desk so that we can get a few free afternoons for the kids to come and have some boarding time.

  • 5/5 Paul P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it....20 years since my last snowboarding holiday, wanted to get back into it. Had a lesson for my birthday, had it cracked in half an hour. I'll be back!!!

    We as a family of four had an amazing day out at Santas Winter Wonderland. Our boy age 4 and daughter aged 2 had the best time. Our time was 9:35am on a Sunday, and we felt it wasn’t overly too busy. Just right. The kids managed to go on all the slopes and rides multiple times. They loved gliding round being pulled on the wooden sledges! The pantomime show was fun and engaging even our 2 year old sat through it all (with snacks on tap!). Wrap up warm it’s cold! :-)
