[Tina](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106452965319192126780/reviews) ★★★★★

Flying Fortress is a brilliant place for kids to burn off energy. The play areas are spacious, well laid out, and kept clean, with loads for children of different ages to enjoy. There’s plenty of climbing, sliding, and soft play fun to keep them entertained for hours. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the seating area is comfortable for parents, with decent food and drinks available. Great atmosphere, good value, and perfect for parties or a rainy-day activity. Highly recommended for families. 👌

This is a fabulous place for kids. If, as an adult, you are still a kid at heart, great for you too. I went in and really enjoyed myself. The only thing I didn't do was the almost verticle slide although I watched the kids fall into it and laugh all the way to the bottom safely. Cafe was great and lots of space and tables to sit at while either watching the kids play or relax with a strong cup of tea.
