Looks amazing, less so once there. The sort of experience you’ll go to once and feel sore about after. Somehow the kids managed to upgrade their free fall experience by an extra £10 without adult approval, leading to a bit of a showdown with staff (particularly ‘Dom’) that just ruined the day and left us £40 lighter. Really poor from the staff. The assault course experience was also a bit naff. The kids had fun, though. Shame the special car park wasn’t free. The aquarium was cool to look at. I’ll give it that.

Went here with wife and 8yr old daughter using our Merlin passes. Archery was great - if a little short. The wall climbing was well run and challenging. We didn't bother with high ropes as it's outside and started bucketing it down but we will definitely return at some point to give it and some of the other attractions a go!The center is right next to a really decent outlet shopping center too with plenty of nice places to eat.We will definitely be returning with the rest of our kids at some point - we could spend an entire day here very easily!

Great place! Did not know this existed so close to me.They have the opportunity to Snorkel with Sharks and other fish, great experience, would return to do again.Also allow diving with sharks, which is next on my list. They also have escape rooms and outdoor activities as well as zip lining and jumping out of a plane sort of experience in those tubes/rooms.Definitely worth the visit!Will I return? 100%

Really nice impressive space for family and corporate activities.Plenty of things to do but needs a lot of thought and planning as to who will do whatI enjoyed axe throwing and escape rooms.

Nice choice of activities and engaging staff members who look after you well.Downside, activities we did were short, about 20mins each after the briefings, making it a very expensive experience for what we did!

We did the I fly and assault course, while the I fly was good and worth the money, I didn't think much of the assault, it took less than a minute to complete. The facilities are great and the free sanitary in ladies toilet is a nice touch.Have to say it would be nice for the staff to have it built in about validating the parking token, I actually didn't even see a sign, although my son said he did after we got bk to carpark, I had to send him back to get the carpark token validated for it was going to cost me £25 once done it cost me £3.50.

A great place with a wide range of activities. I took my Daughter who is registered blind and they were wonderful. Special thanks to Connor who accompanied my Daughter on the high ropes and literally showed her the ropes. We did archery with Matt who put balloons on the target so my Daughter could hear when she hit the target. A top notch and inclusive experience.

Came here to do an iFly session. It was really good fun. I bought as a Christmas present for my boyfriend via Virgin Experience Days and it was £50 for the two of us. The training was really good and through however, in all honesty I think I'd have felt quite ripped off paying anymore than £50 for the two of us for only x2 1-minute flights each. The place is very well laid out and 'decorated', it was lovely being able to view the aquarium too. If you'd like photos of you doing the experiences I recommend bringing an additional person along to take them because the photos sold by the place are £15 each and pretty horrendous

Great place for team player and individual activities. I like it very much. We join as about 100 people as a company, and it was so much fun! I definetely advice you to come by and try some especially high ropes and achery

Lots to do here. We came for the iFly experience only to be told it has been broken for over a month! Agency should have told us so not the centres fault. They were really apologetic and managed to fit us in for some alternative activities free of charge - great customer service.
