A surprisingly good experience for two child-free grown-ups in what is essentially an indoor play park. A slightly bewildering combination of pirate and dinosaur themed play areas with the usual ball-pools, slides and tunnels but with the added bonus of a chocolate factory. We spent a happy hour filling and decorating truffles and making a chocolate lollipop. The member of staff who supervised us (my husband does need to be kept an eye on where chocolate is concerned!) was great. I was also impressed by those who were wrangling the gaggle of small children behind us and managing to make it fun while not descending into chaos. The chocolates, I'm pleased to say, were delicious.
