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.

- kate W6 contributionsWe had such an amazing time doing The Crystal Maze! Nate the paper boy took us round our 4 zones & made our day - it is adrenaline fueled chaos but I would thoroughly recommend it!

- sarahk0008Greater Manchester, UK7 contributionsThis experience exceeded my expectations!! We chose to do the squid games, and each mini game was so fun and interactive. The time absolutely flew by.

- Paul B1 contributionThe VR experience was incredible. I went with my 10-year-old, and he absolutely loved it. Great for a gamer. We were guided through everything by Silas, so that we could play a whole bunch of different games without any prior experience. Great value for money. Highly recommend.Written 1 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Steve GWallington, UK1 contributionfor a group of 12, we had a great reception around 14:00, we received our suits and paid for gloves and balaclavas. The suits have seen better days and were very grubby. The safety video was watched, and we were informed that some times on the races were not working properly, but the staff were monitoring and poll positions and winner would be seen and recorded just in case. We moved round to the racecourse. We had a great service with the selection and fitting of our helmets. The guys on the grid were not loud enough, nobody could hear any instructions, when were let loose for the qualifying i was last and was held back, the team didn't realise i was in the same group, therefore i lost 1-2 laps.
When qualifying was over, all the timings and averages were released, all wrong !! we had between 11 and 14 laps between us, some had 3 min laps when the average was all other laps ranged from 36 - 50 seconds throughout the 12 of us.
The main race was the same, the lead member of our group was put into a second vehicle as his original wasn't working correctly, this meant his race times were not recorded. also the top 5 were all wrong.
Eventhough we all enjoyed ourselves and all felt safe, the whole point of qualifying and racing a GP are then results. Yes, we were told there were some timing issues but not to the extent that it would record the wrong times or not at all register. When we mentioned this to staff, the girl said shed talk to her manager to get the correct winners. We never saw anybody again.
Also, after one of us had a headcam included in the package, he was sent the wrong race video. this also took another phone call to get rectified.
Overall, a great experience but with a massive downward spiral of disappointment at the end.Written 4 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We'll definitely be back to do another room soon!Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- paul r1 contributionTook my 6 year old son at the weekend for a first time visit. Just loved the place. A really good vibe. All abilities but everyone seemed tolerant and cool. Great park. Viewing areas. Food, drink (including alcohol). So a flyer while there for the adults coached session 7-9pm on Weds. went this week as a complete novice and could barely stand on a board. Session split into separate groups dependant on ability and requirement. Lucas was awesome. Great guy, patient, explained every element. While nowhere near a smooth comfortable skate yet. Was really happy with the progress in one session. Will definitely be going again. Couldn’t find a negative.Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David L12 contributionsPossibly the best venue in British Speedway. Excellent view of the track, great facilities, food and well presented throughout the event. A great afternoons (if bank holiday) or evening (regular time) entertainment.Written 29 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sophie SEngland, UK38 contributionsRead the reviews before coming and felt a bit deflated but it actually wasn’t bad at all. Not over crowded, a fair amount to do. Any damage had been patched up safely and the staff were lovely.
There could be a bit more to do, and the price is average for the hour.Written 3 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

our group was comprised to 7 people, which felt like a correct number; any more of us and it may have been a challenge to try and get round without bumping into one another or having to overly pump the brakes and take away from the ‘go karting’ experience.
we didn’t have any issues booking in either with the front desk staff or the booking in system, and everything ran pretty much on time. as we were a larger group we didn’t need any extra attn or input from staff, so for us the staff did what they needed too and didn’t bother us too much / we didn’t need much from the staff, but all staff we interacted were polite and high energy!Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

George, our instructor, was fantastic - patient, supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable - superb with my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
