"Great fun for a six, five and one year old. The lads running it were kind. Good value if you buy the wrist band. Only four rides but for young children, it whiled away a couple of happy hours running from one to another."

"This place is an absolute joke:
If there’s even a slight breeze they don’t bother putting the bouncy castle up. In fact I’ve never seen it up regardless of the weather.
The car/coaster can only make it around the loop if four or fewer kids are on it despite having room for 20ish which of course means longer queues. Not to mention it probably desperately needs maintenance.
Then there’s the large bloke who “runs” the trampolines. By run, I mean he sits there motionless staring at his phone whilst larger kids jump on every trampoline knocking the smaller kids out the way. All the while it says no jumping between trampolines. He is beyond useless.
It is supposed to be £8 for unlimited rides. Despite 25% of them not working they still charged me £7.
This place deserves to go out of business."
