Went there today with our 3 year old and 11month old and absolutely loved it! Spent most of the time in the splash zone with the water fountains as it was the warmest place and the youngest could crawl around in the shallow water. The big pool was also good as it is like the ‘shallow end’ the whole way across, but it was a little on the cold side for the baby. Wasn’t too busy but we have just squeezed in before school holidays started : ). Didn’t venture in to the outside sections as it seems more for older kids.
Good value for money in my opinion, will hopefully come back one day

Website states you need to pay full price (£18) for a spectator.. yet they’ve replied to a complaint on here stating there is a spectator fee.. website states not.

So I’ve tried calling them. 4 hours later, several phone numbers, no answer at all. How can a business not even answer a single one of their phones?

So I’ve tried reading some more reviews to see if I can clear this up, I read bad after bad stating parents are not allowed to even take their younger children down the slides with them? Pointless for us as my 3 year old son won’t go down them without me.. and if I’ve got to pay £18 per ticket, why is the parking so expensive? Seems this business is after money and not good customer service.

Haven’t even visited yet my experience is poor. 1 star from me.

It’s a shame because it looked good and I would have paid the ridiculous ticket prices and parking if someone could have picked up the phone and spoke to me..

Took my daughter for a day out, she definitely had an amazing day. Plenty of options with the large pool, kids indoor pool and slides and the outdoor kids pool with slides despite the cold wet weather, they still had this open, although it was very cold everyone I saw out was having a good time. Never got chance to test the big slides, but they were all busy so next time I’ll be definitely having ago on them

Had a nice morning here in the soft play. Good value for the money. Plenty of seating area for th adults and toilets where clean. As tou can see from the photos plenty to do. There are plenty of slides and soft play equipment for all. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Would highly recommend booking tickets beforehand to ensure availability. £4.50 to park the car, this is on top of the tickers. Reason for 4 start the place it’s self was good. We booked 9.30 to 11 30 slot, we expected to be in for the full two hours whe toj pay for it. The doors to then soft play didn’t open until 09.31 even though the staff were there and the rest of the park was open. I just found it a bit hard when everyone stood outside in the cold with children. The people at the back must have taken 20 minutes to go through, so they lost this time. Again, staffing issue, they where going around hoovering the small soft play area when the first children were going in there, it was like it hadn’t been done before everyone arrived. And to top it off with staff, got to the food and café part, and the lady behind the counter couldn’t find the milk jug for the milk when asked for an Americano and milk, it’s not good when her college starts shaking her head at her and says just use something else when there’s a que of 20ish waiting. Other than all of that, the place it’s self is well worth it.

I have a yearly membership which costs £135 and includes free parking, I mainly go to the 9am session, which lasts for 45mins,personally i would prefer the session to be an hour, as 45mins is abit tight to get in all that I would like to do, especially if your running abit late. The pool is 25m in length and the same depth for the entire length, appx 1.2 mtrs so ideal if you would like to walk.The staff are friendly and it is clean and tidy. I have not used the slides or park so cannot comment on that part of the splash.
