Rollerworld & Laser Quest

First time there. Easy to find. Free parking.Very helpful, friendly, engaging staff in all areas.Very clean everywhere. Lots of people who couldn't skate, as well as those who very obviously very experienced.Good music, lights etc.Food and drinks available. The four of us enjoyed a great two hours - if exhausting.Highly recommended for all age groups (I'm 70). Good value for money.

With rollerskating, laser quest and karaoke on site you can be sure of things to do for most. Good for groups and childrens party's or even couples and friends for a giggle. Even went there a few times as a teenager myself one or two years ago. Its a shame as I understand it could be closing down.

Really fun afternoon, staff on the door and in the kitchen were friendly and helpful, the guy on the skates less so. Good atmosphere, relaxed skate session with quieter music suitable for all. Took 8-yr-old who thoroughly enjoyed her first time on skates. Skate shop is decent for quads, inlines and skateboards plus accessories. A good afternoon of family fun.

We went here as a party of 12 to go laser questStaff were very accommodating and helpful in explaining all the rulesSo much fun to be had once you're dressed up in your laser pack with a gun in your hand. Arena is pretty big with plenty of hiding places, I was sneaking around like a ninja taking it quite seriously. Suitable for all ages.Free car parking, food and drink served on site.

1st time at Rollerworld...friendly helpful staff, nice spacious smooth rink..and good tunes playing.

Visited here after finding the venue through Google, I’m so impressed after never having tried roller skating before I had an absolute blast here! Fell over a few times but all part of the fun, friendly staff and really cool variety of music and good loud sound system, great atmosphere too. Look forward to coming back! Cheap prices..Thanks

Amazing fun on a day you want to stay away from the cold wind. The staff is very friendly. The venue is heated. There's a food court on site ( burgers, hot dogs, jacket potatoes etc). There's staff on the rink at all times, making sure everyone is safe. Free carpark. Clean toilets. The skates are sprayed after each use to prevent fungal infections. Definitely recommend it and we will go back.

Such a great venue for adults and children alike. They offer games at regular intervals during the day and a roller disco at night. Pay once and stay as long as you like (11am5pm) for the day session.Food on site isn't unreasonably priced, though expect to get thirsty, skating is hard work.There's now an outside party which is still accessed with skates. Handy to cool down.A marshall is on the rink at all times.Recommended!

I wasn't actually sure how many stars to give Rollerworld, it's a bit of a head scratcher this one, it's good and bad, allow me to take you through it;I grew up going to Rollerworld, before we all found nightclubs as teens, Rollerworld was our place, we ruled and loved it, every weekend, it played a large part in our youth, so a lot of good memories, I have recently returned to my glory days, a couple pre-covid and the rest post-Covid, but there's no point in talking about Pre-covid Rollerworld, so here are the good and bad points about post-Covid RollerworldGOODThe rink itself is still in great condition, lovely to skate on and a great size.The sound and lighting is impressive, really creates an atmosphere when It gets going.Not bad food and drink optionsSaturday night bar drinks are cheapIcecream vendor with good flavours.Price has gone up but still reasonable-ish.Can still skate up to 5 hours on one entry.BADEverything inside is well over priced, a drink from a vending machine is £2.50, not to mention price of food.The place itself could do with an update.The lockers still swallow your 20p, with the price of everything I think it's naughty that they make money this way too.The smoke machine is more like someone vaping these days, no much smoke at all.Have to wear masks when not skating, I know that not there fault but it still sucks!Toilets need a massive upgrade, they are like the toilets in Secondary Schools in the 90's.They really need to invest in new boots, even the bowling alley here in Colchester have new bowling shoes, I swear they are the same Roller boots from 25 years ago.Bar has to shut at 10pm, not there fault but whatever!Watch out for the mystery bottle of antibac that shows up on your bill if you book online, it's £2.50 and you have to physically delete it.Rollerworld has lost its magic, and I think it needs to pull a few tricks to get itself back to its former glory, but then the world has changed, hasn't it, maybe rollerworld has had its day, but i really hope not, Colchester wouldn't be the same without it.
