★★★★★Featured review by Nicola Marklew

Came in here early doors - 10am - and we had the run of the place! Which is great considering its school holidays and I was dreading it being a chaotic kids place like it usually is when kids are off school. It was great having the 4 yr old and 9 yr old go round on the carts together- one usually misses out on something due to the age difference. On one hand I don't want people to discover the place so it stays like a hidden gem, but on the other we want it to stay open-so would encourage others to visit, it's a lovely relaxed place! Plenty of little treats in the way of sweet bags and little toys (not all tat!) at very reasonable prices too

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 4 and up who want a varied indoor activity day beyond a single attraction. The combination of go-karts, retro arcade, PS5s, and table tennis means different ages find their own enjoyment. Staff are consistently praised for helpfulness and a relaxed approach.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Arrive early on school holiday days to get the place largely to yourselves
Bring warm layers — the karting area runs noticeably cold
🎟️Check upstairs for laser tag and Nerf if booking a birthday party package
🚗Retro arcade machines and PS5 setups are free with the session

Took my 6 year old and he had a 20 minute ride on the quad and absolutely loved it. We then played loads of the games and the basketball game and air hockey were the favourites. There are some great retro arcade machines which were a nice surprise and there are also two PS5 setups ready to jump on. Snacks and drinks are available and the prices are reasonable which makes a change compared to other places. The atmosphere is really relaxed and it is just a fun place to spend some time. We will definitely be coming back.

Went here today with my 8,5 and 4 year old... The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had read reviews before going that it was really cold ,but I was pleasantly surprised....it wasn't as cold as I thought it'd be,yh I had to wrap up warm but the kids loved it!!! and so did I.... The arcade games are great too,would definitely recommend to friends and family.

What a great place to bring children. We're from Essex and we don't have anywhere as good as this near to us. Would definitely recommend to anyone who lives around this way or if you're up here having a break away. The staff are all really friendly and helpful too. Will absolutely come again when we're next up here.
