Positives:

  • Indoor shelter: Fully indoors, so it stays dry and warm even in rainy Manchester weather.
  • Complimentary extras: Free lockers, visors, and spectator access mean minimal extra costs.

Challenges:

  • Age limits: Children under 3 cannot play and under-12s need a paying adult in the box.
  • Advance booking: All sessions are private and often sell out, so book online to guarantee a slot.

Had an absolutely fantastic time inside and something we would definitely do again. The only downside was when we were greeted by the lady on Reception she was exceptionally rude and dismissive. This was a shame although The experience itself was really good.

Brilliant experience! The games were amazing and the staff were brilliant. We’ve visited a few times and we always have great fun! You can order drinks to the room as you can get hot moving around! We always dress in summer clothes to stay cool :) Caitlin & Francis were lovely.
