- Doug KingNottingham, United Kingdom3 contributionsAmazing visit!Our girls are 7 and 5 and they really enjoy the variety of walls to climb. The instructors Dom and Eliza are excellent with them. Now they’re getting to know the girls better they are both offering tips and advice to climb better!! Thanks for making their experience so much fun!Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 19 December 2022
- MaxDerby, United Kingdom1 contributionEnjoyableBig thanks to Phoebe, Zoe, Grace. The party was amazing all the children seem to have enjoyed themselves. A nice variety in the climbing area, children wanted a second go. Climbing staff were polite and was always happy to helpVisited January 2023Written 14 January 2023
- Tasha S1 contributionAmazing and caring staff members throughoutAmazing place! We went Friday evening for my daughters birthday and Dom, Abbey (instructors), Zoe and Mia (cafe) were fantastic! Mia and Zoe were polite, helpful and made sure not only our children at the party but siblings were also treated with great respect and very caring. Dom and Abbey were really encouraging with all the kids some who had only climbed once before and my son as although he’s 11 he has a fear of heights and thanks to Dom’s calmness and experience he managed to get to the top of one of the walls! This was massive for him. My daughter, 2 sons and friend also did the leap of faith and again Dom explained everything really well and had a laugh with them too. These 4 honestly made the little party the most amazing experience for my daughter, me and my husband and to all the parents and siblings of the children that came! Highly recommended and I am honestly eternally grateful. In current situations with cost of living it’s not easy for parents to make parties really extravagant at the moment but they made it feel extra special. Your lucky to have staff who generally care about their customers over thinking about the money and that’s how it felt 🙌Visited March 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 March 2023
- hadil a2 contributionsThank you GraceThis is the second time we throw a birthday party there (derby). However , this time was exceptional thanks to Grace .

- SpinkyminkyNottingham, United Kingdom697 contributionsExclusive Hire - Excellent time down to the brilliant staffWe did an exclusive hire for my son and a group of friends on Sunday morning, the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Dom and Teyo who were on the floor went above and beyond they interacted and pushed the kids who wanted a challenge they supported and helped the slightly nervous ones. Honestly, everyone in the party commented on how much fun they had. So thank you so much to the team for making it such an enjoyable visit.Visited March 2023Written 28 March 2023

- matthew t1 contributionGreat family afternoon outAttended a child’s 8 year old party today with my 3 daughters. We only had one child Booked on the party but the fantastic staff on the front desk of Victoria and Eliza helped accommodate my other daughters a space and the climbing and a spot on the soft play, even going out the way to come and me as a space became available 👍👍 We then was professionally looked after by the staff at the cafe who was serving a wonder full coffe and cake plus some lunch for my daughters thank Zoe and team for your efforts 👍👍 Then Great Team work from all the other staff including Grace Maia and Koci who all went above and beyond to make our trip fantastic for my little Betsy Boo who loved her 2 hours on the soft play Must say the highlight of the afternoon was seeing how clean all the staff kept everywhere 👍👍 Thanks for a good afternoon after a rather long start to our morning it was just what I needed. Not one for ever leaving reviews but meant a lot to me helping today so wanted to say thank you Thanks Team great work The Taylor’sVisited April 2023Written 1 April 2023
- HelenDerby, United Kingdom1 contributionenjoyableAttend a birthday party, the service was great, followed by the party food and climbing experience. Climbing instructors, and cafe staff Zoe, Beth, Phoebe, Courtney , all friendly. The food wasn’t overpriced at all, especially the cake deal 😋 Will definitely be coming back !Visited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 2 April 2023
- JasonLeicestershire, United Kingdom5 contributionsExcellent for a morning out!Brilliant place!all the staff were superb, especially the two guys setting up the toddlers for the climbing experience. Really profession & helpful. The whole place was clean & tidy. The soft place has a member of staff entertaining & helping the children too! Really good. Highly recommended. Only thing for me is the prices of the food were high! £1.50 for a rice crispy bar! You can’t take your own food or drink so you are held to ransom a bit. Could do with some more healthy eating options for the children.Visited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 April 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We’ve celebrated our son’s fifth birthday party here with a group of his friends here.
Everything was well organised, staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating. A few of the parents & kids who who had never been previously seemed keen to come back. We would recommend for others thinking of parties here.
Thanks to Vic, Beth and Heidi!

Fantastic place. Staff are amazing especially Teo. He was so supportive to my daughter, guiding her through every step, encouraging and climbing with her so she could beat her fear and climb to the top. Wonderful experience and highly recommended

Our first visit - we had problems booking online as we wanted to do more than one activity but the staff answered queries on business facebook page and sorted things on phone the next day. We booked soft play, lunch and climbing and our grandchildren enjoyed it all.
From the great welcome to the professional and helpful staff we felt looked after. Great place for a wet day! Good value. Good for a wide variety of ages. Lovely atmosphere. Grandchildren achieved so much and are probably now addicted to climbing walls!! Special shout out to Craig who served with a smile every time. And to the receptionist who answered Facebook queries in the evening.

We had our son’s 7th birthday party here and the venue and staff couldn’t have been more perfect.
It is a fantastic large dedicated climbing and soft play location. Wonderfully themed party rooms. Helpful and friendly staff throughout the venue especially given our requests and additional needs (accommodating my 98yr old Grandad!); the climbing team, catering team and reception team (both before the party and during the party) were all great and faultless. Thank you Leanne, Teo, Lexi, Jay and Eliza - you made it an effortless and fun place to host a party.
Many of the party attendees had never been to the venue before and all of them said they would go back asap.

We came on 24th August, my son hadn’t been for a while and was a bit nervous but everyone was super friendly and helpful. After some time he managed to make it up to the top of one of the walls and became quite upset. Jay climbed straight up to him, calmed him down and helped him down. Once we got to the bottom Jay had a lovely chat with him, telling how well he’d done and encouraging him to keep climbing.
Thank you so much to Jay, he did keep climbing after that and we had a lovely afternoon :)

Just wondering if this is something adults can join in with or if it's just kids?

Yes, parents can climb or just accompany the kids in the climbing area. Or they can easily watch over them from the cafe area. It's not a big place so you can always see them.
