Couldn’t rate this highly enough!! We had an absolute blast! Our operator Ian made the experience the best it could be. We took our 9 year old boy and he couldn’t stop talking about how awesome it was, nor could we. Great value for money, worth every cent and then some!! Highly recommend this!! Thanks Ian 👍👍👍
