SnowDome Ltd. Reviews

I was going on holiday with some very experienced skiers in a few weeks and needed to get the basics learned before I headed out and made a fool of myself. I decided to try the "ski in a day" lessons. The lessons went at a really good pace, and the instructor ensured that everyone was continualy progressing. As members of the group started to get better she spent more time working with the people who were struggling while allowing others to practice freely. As we got better, she'd ensure she came up and gave us something else to work on. The final hour and a half was down to us what we worked on. Some members of the group continued at the bottom of the slope improving their technique wiht the instructor while others attempted some parallel ski work, something I managed to start to get by the end of the day (albeit with inevitable bad form.)

All in all I was incredibly impressed by the day. I had gone from struggling to slide 3m down a small slope to the early stages of parallel ski-ing (and I even went over the small ramp) in about 5 hours. Not everyone's progression will be the same, and I wouldn't recommend changing technique without instruction of course!

Function at the Tyrol Bar, service so slow as got minimal staff working....... 2 hours to serve a standard 3 course dinner with bossy announcements not to go to the bar and to sit at your nominated table during the wait. Group of over 100 and only 2 bar staff. DJ should have known better than to play the loud Christmas rock tunes at full volume whilst we were eating. Asked to ask DJ to turn music down a notch but apparently that was not up to the staff Asked for jug of tap water for our table but apparently that was impossible too. Best part was the cheesecake pud

Tamworth snowdome is great fun. I learned to snowboard on a beginner 2 day course here and I've done the freestyle in a day course too. Maybe 2 or 3 other recreational visits.
The main slope is great for boarding, always been a ramp or two and a rail or pipe setup when I've been, the rope pull is a bit savage and you know about it the next day but it's quicker than the pole type ski lifts so pros and cons.
Staff are helpful and friendly. And the facilities are clean and modern.

Evening out taboganning. High class facilities and would highly recommend.

Great place. Did one of the 3 hour group coaching sessions and it really helped better my parallel turn technique.

So much to do, you could easily spend a couple of days there without getting bored... However it is over priced... We would go a lot more often if the prices were more reasonable

Great fun and good changing facilities and equipment hire.

30 minutes on the toboggans. Was great fun and got about 9 runs in total. Takes a couple of runs to get familiar with the steering/brakes but after that you're away!

Awesome place to visit specially for kids and young adults

Great fun, actual snow period is short but the Christmas group arrangement was definitely worth it

Great Family day out for either swimming, ice skating or other snow related activity. Not cheap but still great fun.

Great place to get some snow under your feet before going away. Can't wait to get back here.

Great place for all the family , good place to learn snowboarding!

Awesome for adults and children my kids loved it.. it's changed so much over the years from what i remember.. but its brilliant for the children..must visit!

Great skiing and recreational venue with cafe's and bar, good variety of food & drinks.

Great as always, a little pricey but where else in the Midlands can you go sledging or ice skating with the kids at any point in the year.

Always a great day, plenty to do and friendly staff

Great fun. Lots of activities. Needs more car parking machines.

Had a really fun packed day. Lots of things to do mostly enjoyed the Santa show. Definitely recommend

Shame you have to pay to park when you use facilities

Fabulous taboganing, staff really helpful fabulous time had by boys....

This place is great entertainment for all the family so far we have been to the winter wonderland (Christmas time only) which gives the kids chance to just play in the snow with sledges and sides. We have been I've skating which is great with the large track they have that goes around the rink along with the ability to hire a skating aid if needed. Tonight we are going tobogganing which should be fun for all the family.

Went there for an outing for my sons birthday. We chose to to tobogganing. We booked the tickets online and went the following week.
There was a safety briefing beforehand which relived my fears, especially when taking a child with special needs. You watch a video and then you are off. They don't offer helmets but was told that you could ask for them if wanted. The toboggans fit two people and a child sits between your legs. You go up an escalator to the top and then sit on the toboggan and your off. It's quite fast and stopping can sometimes be a problem as I had problems reaching the handles with a child sat between my legs. The main thing was that we had fun. It was a great time out but could have been longer as you only have half an hour.

Awesome day out and great value- shame I cant ice skate

Excellent facilities with friendly staff and great instructors!

We d really like to thank our instructor John C for being patient, understanding and an excellent teacher

Cam, Josh and Adam

Great place to learn to ski or snowboard. Friendly instructors!!

Good real snow slope. Not a steep slope so good for beginners. The curved slope is a nice change to going up and down a straight slope. Large Ellis Brigham shop on site. There is also a large pool, climbing and ice skating. Bring coins for the lockers!

Unique sports and leisure centre with swimming gym and winter sports

Fantastically fun place for everyone. It is expensive but worth the money

great but busy and difficult to park when we visited

Nice place, I brought my girlfriend there fpr her first snowboard lesson and she enjoyed it!!

Excellent venue...well run and lots of activities for kids. The snow slopes are the best!

Took my daughter tobogganing for her birthday. She had a great time and would love to return. Be aware that the place gets crazy busy and a disabled person would struggle through the ignorant masses.

Nice place for fun with family but really overpriced and timed very strictly. So not so much flexibility.

Pretty amazing had a great instructor called Olivia made learning agian easy

I'm from Leicester so I can only wish my home city had any thing like show some
A superb place for indoor fun for all ages

Don't go on winter weekends as it is manic. People are parking everywhere! Cafes are rammed. Now they have a climbing wall in the foyer crammed in...

We went to the pool. The slide was out of order, water fountain next to the toddler tool does not work as well, the toddler pool is nothing but a boring separate pool with nothing to play for the kids. Also, the roof over the slide needs repair and paint. I must say the pool is not well maintained in general on the downgrade. Has seen its best days.

Have only done the ice skating but so much fun, would highly recommend.

Attended winter wonderland with our 6 year old son absolutely fantastic from entrance to exit, my hubby and son also did tobogganing which was awsome. I am limited to walk as i have multiple sclerosis i was able to use the lift the staff were so accommodating and nice. Returning tomorrow as my son is climbing and ice skating fabulous place we travel over an hour to get here so so worth it.

Great to ski on 'real' snow, but quite expensive. However, we took a group of teenagers and the ski instruction was excellent.

Used swimming pool. Water was warmer than usual. Ladies changing rooms still being misused though!!

Great activity centre and winter wonderland for little ones is good. Wrap up warm.

Went ice skating here and I must admit it's probably one of the best place to ice skate I've been it has a track for you to skate round witch Is a really nice difference to other places

Didn't look after us properly when my sister in law broke her back in a sledging incident

Whilst it is a nice experience, I feel that the time that you get in the snow is not long enough. The Santa show was really good though... my three year old thoroughly enjoyed it.

My son had a full day snowboarding lesson with kasia she was amazing and a really nice instructor to talk to spoke about many different things well worth the money will be back soon

Good deals and quiet on weeknights. Snow isn t as good as at other places and the rope lift takes a lot of getting used to.

In their defence the car park was flooded which made this a much greater faff than I had hoped for but the main issue i had was we did the winter wonderland experience, the snow and sledding was fab and I loved it just wish there had been easy access refillable hot chocolate. Hated the Santa show it was loud and intense and too much for my two and three year old, the older kids seemed to really enjoy it. Personally I care about animal rights and I had serious concerns about the animal petting zoo at the end including the complete lack of natural light available to the animals and the intenseness of the enclosed space. Go for the snow!

Amazing snow play and toboganning/ski slope, the food is really good and would like to go there again. Although a couple of staff can sometimes be a little rude but the majority are really family friendly and help with the activities. Another thing is that the ice skating boots are quite uncomfortable. Overall it was really good.

Fantastic facility with everything you could possibly want. Great instructors and very kid friendly.

Entered the premises and was accosted by staff demanding I wear a mask. I said no I'm exempt. I'm nearing the area to swim and I'm confronted by the girl who challenged me. She said, can I chat with you a minute sir. I said no, since I'm not in the habit of explaining myself. Upon leaving I'm confronted by a small minded little jobsworth who also asked to 'have a word'. I said no to that as well. He said in that case I'll have to ban you from the snow dome. So, since I take my two children swimming there I agree to his little chat. He explains that I've offended his staff member, I said how? all I said was no to the mask? Well if my staff are offended then I take it seriously. Not sure what ever happened to 'The customer is always right' - that appears to have passed their small minded ways. So I end up having an argument with the little security man at which point he threatened he would have to get the police to remove me (not big enough to deal with it himself I guess). I asked him what the problem was, perhaps his staff are a little sensitive, for which I couldn't care at all. Sorry but they were quite happy to accept my cash - just no actual customer care. Not too mention that it's actually an offence to confront me about it. Not sure why I had to explain 3 times the same thing. Clearly have nothing else to do. Poor service. Boycott this place. Other venues to swim. See ya SnowDome wouldn't wanna be ya.

Great place to visit. Amazing ski slope and great lessons available. If you are spectating, remember to wrap up well. The place is very busy, so be prepared.

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday as he likes ice skating and we had a great time. I do think the Snowdome lets too many people on the ice at the same time though.

Great Fun loads to do!
Great fun loads to do!

Excellent considering its in the middle of England, however it is quite costly and the snow is quite slow
