This is something that should be a sideshow at a Theme Park or in the Olympic Park (soundtrack could be "Best of British"). Not in a dodgy looking council block at the back of Tesco's. It really does look like an afterthought. The decor and the commentary is naff, and but the damp smell is the same as you'd get... More

We thought we would give it a go as it looked really good in the brochure, thought it woud be a great thing for the kids to watch. After 5 mins the kids were getting restless and bored, the adults started nodding. The music and narrating were dated and quite boring. Great if you like Roy Orboson!! Could do with... More

We live locally and when we have visitors we often take them here. It's a real novelty, appeals to all ages and they charge a sensible admission price. The show lasts about half an hour. Someone else said that the auditorium smells a bit damp, but that's to be expected with the amount of water that's in there! It's really... More

I loved this show it was fantasic it was just like an indoor firework display but with better colours and spray. And even the rain couldn't ruin it. The kids loved it too especially guessing the songs.

Well it was a laugh ,but most of our party either fell asleep or were left feeling sick due to the movement of the water The place smelt damp, the seats felt damp and i am now totally put off of Annie Lennox and Hooked on classics. This type of display may be great in the outdoors in front of... More

We enjoyed our visit to this attraction and loved the overall performance although we felt the show perhaps went on for a little too long. Good value for money and ideal for a visit on a rainy day! A discount voucher for £1 off the adult admission price can be downloaded from their website before the visit.

Having read other reviews of this attraction, we decided to go and see it for ourselves. A previous reviewer said it smells damp - we agree but as it is a water show we guessed it would be. It was fascinating to watch, sitting in the dark watching coloured water dance. After about 20 minutes, we both nodded off but... More
