What visitors say
Great setup with so much to do, the aero trek was what we did and my 9 year old daughter was a bit nervy at first but absolutely loved it. There is a huge variety of climbing walls. The dry slope for skiing, snow boarding and rubber rings looked awesome, will definitely have to return. The staff, particularly Ellie, who ran our activity were friendly, helpful and great.

Beautiful views, great activity centre, cafe with amazing views, see the ships going up and down the Solent. Beach also, plenty of pebbles and shells 😊

A hidden gem and one of the UK's largest adventure hubs, famously housing an indoor velodrome, a dry ski slope, and the South's tallest climbing wall inside massive historic hangars. Thanks to its prime location right on the Solent, it also provides instant access to premium water sports including windsurfing, sailing, and paddleboarding. It is the ultimate year-round destination for adrenaline junkies looking to seamlessly transition from high-energy indoor track cycling to open-water ocean adventures.

Fantastic facility with loads to do for the adventurous. Great for ad-hoc visits for coffee or a rest break. There were families having fun climbing, skiing and doughnuts on the indoor slopes during my visit. The café is adequate, with good coffee and food offers. All with lovely views if the Solent and the Isle of Wight.
