    This place is amazing it caters from toddlers right up to 10 year olds there are so many different playparts that appeal to all ages and size so much for them to do and play here this place is an absolute breath of fresh air compared to fun galaxy clean reasonably price clean plenty of staff around constantly watching and checking the kids not ur typical play centre you can actually see that they put money back into this place this is now our favourite spot can't recommend enough 5*

    Went to go bowling today at 9:15pm as I checked online it was closed at 10pm there was only 2 of us so the game would have lasted only 20 mins we went up to the till to ask to play a game of bowling but the woman was counting the till so waited till she was done she looked up with a attitude “eh are you ok” I said yeah just want a game of bowling she looked me up and down and said “eh we’ll I closed my tills already “ the way she was speaking to us was disgusting this is my second time already dealing with her and she was been very rude 2 of the times, such rude manners will never be going back there again.

    The bowling alley was really fun. Sad that the food service was suspended and we weren’t able to order some finger snacks or drinks. The staff were friendly and kept the venue flowing well. We had a good time celebrating a birthday.

    Hello, we as a group booked for about 1h bowling. I guess we waited about half the time, because the team needed to fix something at the lane (We werent the only ones with that proablems). After the 1h we wanted to finish the game, so we booked another 1h. After about 20min the time ran out and we had to discuss with the manager for about 20min, so we could play the rest of the time. The music was really loud and there was no food. The condition of the toilets was really bad. The theme of the hall is Stuck in the 1990s what dosent makes it better! But to each his own.

    We were playing cards and drinking coffee, of course without betting any money on that. The manager of the place asks us to stop playing cards or leave because it is a bad influence for the kids as we were "gambling", but we were not. In that place there are plenty of slot machines that are quite more dangerous that just a simple card game (was not even poker or something like that). We had a conclusion; she was boring and empty inside, so she just decided to mess around and try to kick out some foreigners from her place. The other girl in the bar was nice with us, and even agreed with us about that.

    Place feels dated and could use a refresh. Bowling system miscalculated scores several times and staff couldn't really fix. System they use is from 1999 so definitely would benefit from some investment. Not possible to order drinks apart from using vending machines and no food was available.

    Honestly, not really a fan of this place, there zoo for the kids is shocking, to small to hold anything, it needs to be better to complete with the competition that is out there. They don't book party areas for the kids anymore. There is a lot of open space that would help them out going to waste upstairs. It needs a better approach.

    My family are locals and have been going here for years. Recently went with my dad to play pool. Younger staff were kinda and catered to us accordingly but the manager was incredibly rude. We were not being attended to after standing at the till for some time and others who came after us were being looked after before us. We kindly asked the manager to help us out and she immediately became rude and snappy. Completely ruined the day and left an awful image of a place we’ve been going to for years and never had problems at before.

    Went to the soft play for a small birthday party. The place is well staffed and staff are friendly too. Not alot of tables for parents though and the section for the one year olds is beside the seating section however the entrance to it is around the back so not ideal as you have to stand around the back to watch your toddler. Outside the soft play area there is tables and chairs for parties which is nice and big but the whole area could do with a deep clean.

    We brought our baby to the kids zone upstairs and they had a great time. The place is gated with a buzzer and while getting on in years is extremely clean. The staff are very friendly and there is enough fun and diversion to cater for babies, toddlers and you kids. Kudos for having and running such a well maintained place.

    Theres minimal arcade games. Decent pool/snooker facilities. Good bowling lanes. Spending too long there makes me die inside.

    I brought my four year old grandson to the play area last weekend. It was my 1st time there with him. . I was really pleased to find that ever single member of staff were pleasant and very helpful. He had a great time.

    Absolutely horrible place,, the zoo playground.. toddlers getting banged and pushed over by much bigger kids. Boys around 8 or 10 years old just doing backflips on top of toddlers and the staff not a care in the world, too busy looking at there phones or talking rubbish,, when I said it to one staff the answer was ok I’m too busy? One toddler was crying, and the mother was upset, I will definitely not be back,,

  • 3/5 Mariana B. 5 months ago on Google
    Bowling lanes are nice. Temperature and air quality is awful. Incredibly noisy with kids running around. The Starbucks staff wouldn't serve frappucinos. Got all of our orders wrong and burnt the milk. Wouldn't remake anything. Only bothered getting up and coming to the counter after several awkward minutes of us trying to figure out if it was closed.

  • 4/5 Dean H. 5 months ago on Google
    Good soft play area for the kids. Downstairs could do with some updating. Parking on site and Burger King in same complex which is good for day out and food.

    Great place for fun. The staff are very helpful and accommodating as I had a client in a wheelchair with me.

  • 5/5 Nicole K. 1 year ago on Google
    We booked for 8 children on 2 lanes. It was an extremely hot day but it was very comfortable inside. Not many people there last Friday so was perfect for us to enjoy the bowling and arcade games. The staff were brilliant, especially the young lady behind the food counter who supplied us with free jugs of cold water (don't know her name but she wore glasses :-) We all had a blast!!

  • 3/5 Stanislas Nichini (. 1 year ago on Google
    The bowling is a bit pricey and you have to pay per player and per game. The place isn't busy and the staff is nice though. The arcades are also pricey and very limited. Some of them were broken (basket ball had only 1 ball left), there is no ticket to earn

  • 4/5 Istvan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to have fun, it's just a bit frustrating that in a Saturday night don't have any type of portions to share with friends while playing.
