Great fun times here, tobogganing is great fun for the family. They also have a bar and coffee shop which both serve food and drink, with views over the ice skating area and over the ski slopes. There was plenty of staff on shift to ensure the safety of people on the slopes, the safety briefing was amusing. We will defiantly go here again with the family, they have a new climbing area which the kids want to try out.
Good fun, pretty exy but it was entertaining and the tobogganing was great for kids
Absolutely amazing the winter wonderland was as close to visiting Lapland as your gonna get. Without going obviously. We all had a fabulous time. It wasn't overly busy, however we visited in the morning mid week. Friends that went at the weekend had a different experience, with to many people been a problem. But personally o could not fault it.
I use the snowdome for the gym, the carpark is awful around holiday times and the place can be over run in the main entrance by adults and children.
But the gym its self is always tidy and snowdome do offer some food attractions and food.
Great fun and the best way to get back into skiing before your holiday, mud week it was reasonably quiet and that helped, I believe it can be crazy at weekends
Took my son swimming for the first time today and he loved it.
Spent a few hours here with snow play, food and swimming. Could be made more easy to follow to where you need to go tho.
Didn't know until I arrived that there was a parking fee. Directions were poor when you got into car park.
Great place kids loved the climbing walls best to book in the summer n weekend. Snow boarding courses sre brilliant
Ice skating rink is health and safety hazard accident waiting to happen. They put over 100 people on the small rink unbelievable
Visited Ellis Brigham to get new ski boots. Great service. Thank you Jack!
Very good place to suit all ages, only reason for four stars you have to pay for the carpark.
Visited on Sunday in January. Very busy with several very icy patches on the slope. Good for getting your legs back but not enough space for focusing on technique.
Santa's winter wonderland was fantastic fun, snowplay first then santa told us a story followed by a visit to the animals a very lovely visit.
Pricey but handy for me. Clean, well organised. Food could do with some work.
In ordinary time I would of given a 4 as it was good fun but as there were so many people without masks and no staff around to say anything I didn't feel comfortable at all . The kids snow bit was good fun but again while we were waiting to go in there was not a member of staff to be seen and no social distancing.
Went for a all day beginners snowboarding lesson.
The lesson itself was very reasonably priced given the amount of slope time. Plenty of breaks throughout the day and a nice lunch included. The instructor was nice and I was in a small group so got plenty of contact time.
The slope was crowed as it was a Sunday but I was told in weekdays or late evening it s usually much quieter!
Bar, spa, cafe and snow/ski shop on site.
Great, went for snowboarding lessons and the instructors were super helpful and got to spend plenty of time on the slope plus there is a Starbucks and restaurant on site
It's good for kids with several activities such as climbing wall, ice skating, sledging and snow fun. It can be useful if you want to learn the basics before going on a ski holiday. But if you are a skier or snowboarder with reasonable level it's very disappointing. The snow is very bad, they groom it a couple of times a day but there's just enough snow to cover the slope about two inches deep. It means that, on a busy day, half an hour later the snow is wiped from the busiest parts of the slope. We then start to see the concrete, and it becomes very dangerous. On top of that, some members of staff are rude, rental board bindings are loose, and the rope "lift" is the worst I've seen.
A terrible place customer service leaves a lot to be desired and staff unable to deal with minor injuries
Had a day 'learn to ski' course here and it was great. I learnt to ski and it well worth the money. The trainer was patient and very good. Food was reasonable too. All in all a fantastic day.
Great place to learn to ski, particularly around the quieter Summer period. Also good for brushing off the dust on the boots before going for a skiing holiday. Snow is good and regularly groomed. Starbucks overlooking the slope is a great place for an apres ski coffee/hot chocolate
Loved our first visit here and the snow was actually pretty good. The instructors looked after our first time skier brilliantly and got her right to the top and snowploughing all the way down with confidence. Many thanks is to all the staff there and we'll see you again soon.
Great place for a swim, the only thing is the male locker room needs a refit as there are not enough changing rooms and some didn't have a lock on!
Absolutely love the Snowdome. The Aspen bar serves decent food, there's a Starbucks, winter sports store, and of course the slope, rock climbing walls, gym etc.
Took my family of six for an hours ski on Sunday. Overall an ok experience but the whole place is set up to maximise profit.
Lots of kids on hand to hand out ski s and boots. Helmets are self serve off the shelf and are dirty and wet on the inside from previous use. If you have one take your own!
Lots of lockers on hand to store your valuables, you will need a 20p coin to use them. Guess what, yes you ve guessed it you don t get the coin back at the end!
The slopes are busy on a weekend especially with lessons. Skiing can be hazardous from beginners venturing across the slope midway down in their lessons, to those on the slopes mixed in with more advanced skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. It s a basic dog leg slope, which bottle necks at the bottom, through a small gap in the wall and over a large lump of ice slowing your ability to quickly get back up the lift. There is little or no etiquette to getting though the passage at the bottom to get back to the lift, everyone pushes in! There is no snow on the path leading to the lift so you are walking to it again slowing you down. I guess it s done on purpose to maximise numbers in the venue and then limiting the people on the slopes. I think we managed about 10-12 runs in the hour and two from mid point. Honestly, It s OK. I wouldn t book anymore than once a year for those reasons!
My son absolutely loved the snow, he was on the small toboggans
We had a amazing time here definitely worth every penny xx
So much fun we had! got a Groupon voucher, instructor were nice and great.
they have loads of the helmets and tools , don't worry of run out.
Parent can view their children in a balcony, just remember to wear you coat cause it is cold.
there is also shops and restaurant/Bar.
would recommend it
Went for santas winter wonderland was great fun kids loved it! Also staff are great we had an issue with our initial booking and somone was able to resolve and rebook us quickly!
Had a great time at Snowdome. Tobogganing was great!
Great gym with machines, cables, trx, free weights and leverage.. Lots of classes for all your needs and the PT's are really friendly.. Pool is really good and on a Saturday if has giant inflatables for the kids.
Snow play is good fun especially at Xmas when you get to play in the snow/sledge have snow ball fights then you watch a play with Santa and his elves.. After you meet Santa they have a area with lots of animals for the kids to see... Highly recommended
The winter wonder land is great for little kids. Numbers are limited so it's never too bus.
Car park is a mess and 30mins for a drop off or collection is ridiculous if there's no spaces
Swimming pool relatively cheap and easy to book online. Swimming pool could do with some investment. Looking tired in many places around the poolside that being said the changing rooms and poolside was clean. Would visit again
Well ran and great facilities.
Fab for kids too!
This is a great place for children and adults alike. Plenty of things to do. The cafe have very reasonable prices and friendly
I would recommend this place to family and friends
Fantastic facilities with everything leisure you could need under one roof.
Amazing fun, would highly recommend for families and first dates, especially the tobogganing!
Great day out. 2 hours of ice skating for just over 8 pound. Can be a lot of people on the ice bumping into you and cutting you up.
Last time we went you could skate around the outer part but this time you couldn't it was just the middle so everyone was on the same part. Shame as it was excellent last time
I purchased one of the small slopes sledge parties for my sons 7th birthday. We arrived on 24 Sept 2016. The sledging was excellent & the kids loved it.
We also had the children's food package included. We moved to a nice party room where the kids were seated & we gave them drinks from the 2 jugs of orange & blackcurrant for 18 kids. After approx 20 mins and the kids got restless I went on the hunt for a member of staff for more drinks & food? No staff! but I found the cordial, of which I went about re-filling the two jugs, a further 10-15 mins elapsed & two more trips to fill the jugs back up the food finally turned up!!! But one of the children's order didn't!!! That poor 7 year old had to sit for a further 15 mins with nothing whilst he watched the other children eat!! I spoke to the party organizer who said she would have a word with her manager. She offered us free tea of coffee!!! I'm sorry but the length of time we waited for the food & the poor boy who waited a further 15 mins & the fact I had to find the drinks & keep re-filling just isn't good enough!!! I will not being recommending this!!!
We went swimming cannot recommend enough the lifeguards were amazing quick to react and very professional
Great wall climb for kids very well supervised
Tobabanning was really good and surprisingly fast
I visited here on the 7th December with my nursery, it was the first time I had visited so was unsure what to expect. We were visiting Santa in his Winter Wonderland. You have 30 minutes to play in the snow, on the sleighs and on the rubber rings to race down the 4 different slides that are around the course. You then enter a theatre, there is a 30 minute pantomime show which is very entertaining for both children and adults. You then enter Santa's Farm where all of his animals are kept, and you can even write a letter to Santa. On leaving the animals there is an opportunity for an official photo, that can be purchased. You are handed chocolate for adults and children and then you arrive back in the foyer for food and drinks. The Starbucks is the same prices as elsewhere. The Aspen food place, is affordable but meals can be expensive, plenty of seating in both places. Didn't visit the bar or the gift shop so can not comment. The Winter Wonderland was affordably priced. Overall it was a fantastic day out, would definitely recommend and will be visiting again!
Brilliant place to go for snow as was the first in Europe
Great for brushing up on sking skills, nice food in bar area, plenty of things to do
Fantastic facility and great for the kids. Easy parking and booking.
Had a fantastic day with my grandson he really enjoyed himself
Reasonable prices and massive fun for the whole family. Also has a swimming pool, bar, cafe and shop.
Had three hours skiiing on the morning club offer. Well set up to use in the current situation. Decent equipment. Friendly and helpful staff.
Good size pool, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff.
Snowdome is a great family day out. Swimming, climbing and skiing for all. Cheap parking and close to other facilities like parks and shops
So much fun. Family friendly. Great value for money
Really good fun here, lots of a activities to choose from!
Popped in for a drink at the coffee shop and was pleasantly surprised. The two lads working there were very friendly and accommodating, making me a lovely cup of "builders" tea and my wife a great latte. Low lighting, comfy chairs and a log fire, I think this is a hidden gem. Chairs and tables too, lots of room for wheelchairs and prams, it even overlooked the kids snow play area, also the drinks were very reasonably priced.
The most MISERABLE life guards on the planet We had the misfortune of going to the pool inflatable "party" on Christmas Eve and were subjected to "death by miserable teenage lifeguard."
Hannah was a notable exception, she obviously hasn't been indoctrinated into the "don't smile at anyone" school of lifeguarding.
Christmas Eve, SMILE GUYS!!!
Great place for indoor skiing and snowboarding. My kids had a blast!
