Me and my family attended here on Sunday afternoon. What a great time we had! Staff were more than accommodating and so helpful and super friendly. Our harnesses were checked regularly and thoroughly throughout our visit too. We felt really welcomed and safe. We will be going again soon, thanks so much

Had a wonderful time at the Axe-throwing yesterday! I have to admit I was a bit anxious about it and how terrible I would be, but actually…it was super-fun! The lady that was there from the team to teach us and support was also very nice. I’ll definitely be back :)
