Reviews
My children really enjoyed the lasertag but I was disappointed and shocked that the man running it was vaping quite a bit surrounded by children playing, surely he could wait until after the game. It wasn’t nice to smell.

Well looked after fleet of karts, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A business that clearly invests in itself and actually cares about making customers happy rather than the bottom line.

Went as a family day out for my cousins birthday, 10 of us in all. What a brilliant afternoon it was, weather was really good to us and staff were super friendly. Just the 10 of us on the one track racing each other for two 15 min sessions as they have a GP track as well. May not seem much, but trust me after 15 mins you’ll be glad of a break. Carts stick like glue to the track and it takes a few laps to realise the brakes are not so important if you plan your racing line and back off the gas a bit! You also come to realise who in the group are the ones that are just there for the laugh but then seem to flip into “Hamilton” mode and will do anything to stay in front of you! Defo going back and worth every penny. Thank you.

We had a great day celebrating my grandsons 15th birthday. The karting was excellent, great track, good Karts friendly helpful staff. One of the things that impressed me the most was how clean the overalls and crash helmets were. We followed karting with bowling. Again, a great experience.
Highly recommended
