Took my son for his 10th birthday with some friends. None of them had done karting before and a few were a bit nervous. The lads on the track were very patient with them and did all they could to make the feel safe and enjoy the session. Thank you!

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.
