The upstairs area was really chilled, clean and tidy, and the staff were constantly keeping on top of things even though the centre downstairs was really busy. My little boy loved the amusements, and it was easy to find someone helpful when we had a question about payment for the games. Me and my mum ended up in a competitive game of air hockey which was great fun. A really enjoyable visit — perfect for a vibey family afternoon. · via Google [Dan Somers](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114367562048207853933/reviews) ★★★★★ Bowling was good fun.

Really clean venue and a friendly team that were helpful when needed. Good arcade, pool tables and even mini golf upstairs. Easy to lose a few hours in here and everyone stayed highly entertained. Good deals online and discounts available for morning slots if you can get there for it - recommend looking or booking ahead to make use of these! · via Google [Yvette Obeney](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112397620465219425293/reviews) ★★★★★ We came here yesterday for our Grandsons Birthday treat. It was the first time we visited, I was so impressed. It was quiet, but that suited us. We were given the VIP area which was lovely. It's great that you can wear your own shoes as well, so it's more hygienic, so that's a plus. The staff were really lovely and it was so clean, the toilets very clean as well. So overall a very pleasant experience. Thank you 🤍 · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d9050ca7b47ad1:0xdde6209f8bcebf70!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this bowling alley offers great bowling, mini golf, and arcade games, with automatic bumper lanes and the option to order food and drinks to the lane.
