Came here for a few hours with the Dementia Care Home that I drive for. The home has a activities lady and I'm the minibus driver who chauffeurs the residents around. It's a great place for our elderly residents to have some recreational time. The apparatus provided for them is great as they can take part in an activity that allows them normality and possibly a memory of an activity that they may have enjoyed before Dementia. The bowling alley has ample space for our small party of 8 people. Easy access to the lanes and scoring facility. There is ample seating for us all at our lane and ample room at the bowling Lane for one or two people should you need help. Although there was plenty of machinery and lights around it wasn't noisy and our resident group was comfortable with all that was going on. There are toilet facilities available for both sexes and a disability toilet with the key available at the reception counter. There is a bar area where we managed to get a coffee and a cup of tea after our game of bowls. There is a small menu for food if you want something to eat but we just had a hot drink. All in all a nice place for a few hours of fun. We will be back again for another go. 👍😁

A highly charged entertainment arcade full of machines, games and brilliant staff. Much recommended place for children and adults alike. Had a great time with the kids.

Great place to take the kids. I would advise booking bowling ahead, it can get busy and there are generally deals on line. Loads of arcade machines. The bar is well stocked for most tastes.

I took my 6 year old daughter here this afternoon and she had such a great time. Absolutely amazed by the patience and hardwork by all staff there but especially Shannon who was guiding and reassuring my daughter with the climbing. She's already excited for the next time!
