👍👍 This was a great experience for me and my family. All of us enjoyed it. Very creative and a good photo opportunity. I need to mention about the lady at the ticket counter as well. She was very friendly and simply awesome. She gave some tips on how to take good pictures here and even took some pics...

    This was a great experience for me and my family. All of us enjoyed it. Very creative and a good photo opportunity. I need to mention about the lady at the ticket counter as well. She was very friendly and simply awesome. She gave some tips on how to take good pictures here and even took some pics of the family herself. That was very kind of her and I honestly haven't seen very many friendly people like that recently. I was stupid and forgot to ask her name. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that she made this experience very enjoyable for us. People like this are an asset to the establishment. Please do give it a shot if you are around Lakeside. More importantly, spend a few min to figure out how to take good photos here. Cheers Barani

    First Wonderful and new experience ever tried. Initially it was a bit strange as I felt dizzy on entering the house (was warned by the person at the ticket desk) but gradually it settled. It was fun and would highly recommend this place. Enjoyed a lot.😊

    Interesting experience in the upside down house, even though the house is kind of small. Located just outside Intu Lakeside shopping Centre, in the car park.

    Gergana was the most accomodating and helpful advisor ever. She was so friendly and helped us around, even helping to take some photos for us. She truly did make the experience for us. Thank you so much.

    Took two grandchildren 5 and 4, for a treat. You get 20min, or longer if not too busy (Our grandchildren kept enjoying for 40min. Brilliantly disorientating, a laugh a minute kids sliding, great photo opportunities. The person in charge comes in and will take a well posed pic with your phone/camera.

    Went with one of my sisters on Friday, we both had a great time and took hundreds of lovely photos. We spent ages finding the House itself, but was limited to around 20 minutes inside. The House is quite small but there are loads of photo opportunities around, both staff members at the time told us how to edit the photos and one kindly took a couple of photos of us too and explained the best way to stand/pose to get the better angles in each picture. It wasn't overly busy but people and kids kept walking into/getting in the way of our photos when we was waiting patiently for them to finish their photos then take our turn. The price was reasonable, even for the small amount of time we was in the House, easy to book online and we will definitely be going again.

    Fun day and experience for the kids and I. Halloween themed, so expect some ghouls and clowns. Dizzy at first, but the kids loved it. Friendly staff and also happy to take our photos. Overall fun day at Lakeside

    Had a fantastic time at the Upside Down House, Lakeside, this morning. Gergana made our visit so much fun, showing us how to pose, even taking photos for us. She is an absolute credit.

    Such a fun place. Affordable and interesting activity to do. It takes a few minutes to wrap your head around, but once you do, you can get some great photos. The lady there was super helpful, and she assisted us and other people to take photos and also suggested poses. She was really nice. I would definitely visit again when I go to the mall.

    It feels dizzy after a couple of minutes inside the house apart from that it's one of a kind experience. The receptionist there was so kind and helpful, cheers.

    Is not much to do. Put your imagination ahead and take funny pictures. Turn them over. Ta daaaaah. Our kids had lots of fun there due to its floor plan.

    Such a great place to visit with the whole family! The staff was so supportive and guided us the entire time, she was very kind to show us the best angles to take great pictures. She also took time to take pictures of our whole family. I felt a bit dizzy at some point so I would suggest to not eat anything just before entering the venue.

    We went to the one at Lakeside as we were there a day of shopping. We went in an explored on our own and then the main manning the booth their came in and gave us suggestions on how to pose and took photos for us which was really nice! It's only a very short thing but at just £5 entry it's a quick fun thing to do to capture some funny photos :-) We went late October so it was halloween themed and I didn't like the spiders but it was still fun!

    First experience but it was great. I still believe there is a lot of scope to improve and extend the house. Things can be improved or added: 1. Since it is all about pictures, it would be useful for visitors to know how pictures should be taken inside. 2. There should be more room or living space. It felt too short. I would be happy to pay more in future if rooms extended or made more creative. Still 5 star because I enjoyed and kids loved it.

    We had a planned stop at Lakeside Shopping centre to break up our journey and decided the Upside-down house looked fun. It was! The lady on reception said it may make you feel a little dizzy upon entering but we were fine. It is on a slight tilt though so keeping balance may be tricky for some. We were busy snapping away taking photos and the lady from reception came into the house to take some pictures of us all together and give some helpful tips for getting the funniest photos. She was incredibly helpful! You need to rotate your pictures for the best effect but the pics we have are really funny. It's definitely worth a visit ☺️

    Not worth the money should be £2.50 maximum pp. We went on a Halloween so at least it was decorated. Would of been highly disappointed if there was no theme. The staff are lovely though.

    Good fun experience, but we felt little dizzy when entered inside the house. Kids will love this place. Can get the tickets over the counter there. Good place to take tricky and fun photos

    The house is great but the experience is over too quickly. We queued for about 30 mins and were in the house for about 15 mins.

    I felt a bit dizzy when I have stepped inside because the floor is not even and all the furniture is stucked to the ceiling but the staff were amazing and overall I had a very nice experience. :)

  • 4/5 Chris E. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is really cool, and great for some pics. There's not loads to do (as you'd expect) and personally I would say it was on the expensive side. However, it made all of us smile (and feel rather wobbly!) which is worth it 😊

  • 5/5 allinone 2 years ago on Google
    I visited during last week of Oct, 2021 with my little one. It was Halloween theme in the house. We enjoyed a lot. It was relaxing and fun to be there. Took lots of pics. Everything in the house was upside down. Customer service was excellent. Staff was very helpful and took our pics. The female staff in the house was very friendly with the kids and entertained them. I would definitely recommend to visit them. It was a good experience....

    Was a little surprised at how small it is however, it is what you make of it. We (family of 4) spent around 40mins in there. Personally I think the price is OK, considering it costs about the same as a Costa hot chocolate. If there are more in a group it will take longer. We had such a laugh as a family, creating loads of ways to be effective. The young lad working there was very lovely too, even offered to take our pictures as a family. Would like to go back one day, when they change the layout. If the kids are a little bored walking around all those shops, take 30 mins out to make some hilarious memories.
