Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 2,195 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently share that the staff are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help families have a wonderful time. Visitors consistently praise the clean facilities, vibrant atmosphere, and excellent setup that keeps everyone entertained for hours. However, some people mentioned issues regarding the indoor climate and cleanliness.

Despite these minor drawbacks, people still enjoy spending quality time playing games and eating delicious food together.

Activity with Grandchild.

We took our Grandson & had a really enjoyable time.
The Reception Staff were nice.
The Games are set up for you.
The Amusements are fun but easily add at least £10 to your day out.
Will definitely go again.

Forgot how good it was to go bowling!

Easy to book online. It’s a bit expensive for a short space of time but it was good fun, it’s been 20 years since I’ve been bowling and this has renewed my interest!

Good vibrant atmosphere and not too traumatic considering it was school holidays and we are 2 older adults. Would book the VIP lane next time though as we were sharing balls with a family eating chicken whilst bowling, not very hygienic and left grease on the balls.

Gave 4 instead of 5 stars due to price, chicken eating bowlers and lack of offers.
