I recently went skiing and when getting the boots there were none that fit around my calf, I am not overweight at all and I could barley fit in the boots. I managed to get into them but it was uncomfortable, a day later I had huge blisters all around both calf s and painful rub marks.
The skiis came of a couple of times thrououhht the day but no accidents came of this. The skiing conditions weren t great as the snow wasn t really there it was just chunks of ice, but this was due to the air conditioning being replaced.
Whilst I was there I had a pizza at the resteraunt and the prices were extautionate for the amount you get. It would be alright if the standard was better but the base and crust was micro thin and was over cooked, the was barely any sauce on the base and a moderate ammount of cheese, and as it was a bbq pizza I expected a bit of bbq sauce but there was nearly none.
Apart from all the mistakes I had a fun time as the staff there were very nice and helped as much as they could to solve any issues you may have but they are limited to what they can do with what they have to work with.

All together I give it a 1 star out of 5 as the food, ski boots and snow where all terrible for the price, but the brilliant customer service brings it up to a 1 star from 0.

The snow on the slope is rubbish at the moment ice everywhere to the point of it being dangerous!! I asked at reception if there was a problem but all they were interested in is giving me a refund when I just wanted my question answered. The place is tired, paint peeling off everywhere, the slope lift broke for 10 mins!! wish the owners would use the buckets of cash they make especially from winter wonderland to make the place a pleasure to visit, not a dive!!!!

We attended for a children's birthday party. The place was extremely busy with limited input from staff on the day. Overall it has good facilities but requires active input from parents.

I wasn't aware of SnowDome until a couple of friends recommended it to me and we all went together, we live quite a few miles away but it was definitely worth it. It was the first time that I'd been ice-skating and we had an absolutely fantastic time, our session was reasonably priced and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful- I will definitely visit again soon.

A great place for winter activities in the Midlands.

Not so sure on this years winter wonderland, delayed start hanging around with young kids, sketchy panto and rude staff at what should be a magical kids experience, only staff these sorts of things with bubbly employees, surely you know that???????
. Not what it usually is, and this year it just didn't seem worth the money.
Not 100% sure I would bring my family of 5 back next year, and from talking to others after the exhibit, I doubt I will be the only one.

Good slope, good services and food, but the lifts for the indoor slope are terrible - a magic carpet (escalator) and a rope drag lift.
They're in dire need of an upgrade to a button lift system.

Gone downhill (no pun intended) since they now remove the snow from the bottom of the slope, resulting in you having to walk around to the escalator, takes just as long to walk around as it does to ski down the slope now making it alot less convenient, would be absolutely great if the snow was kept there so you can easily glide around

Very busy. Could do with reducing the amount of people allowed in at one time. We have been twice now as a group having ski lessons. First time was great. Small number of people on the lesson and felt like we learned loads and had brilliant attention from the instructor. Second time was okay. There were more people on the lesson and seemed like there wasn't enough instructor to go around. Would be good if they could limit the number of people on the lesson groups. Understand they need to make money and make it worthwhile for the business but would have made it a more enjoyable experience.

Very poor organisation, and over priced for kinder ski starter session. Our child slid approx 10ft 4 times in 45 mins. Late for the session as sent to wrong area. However I did get a full refund.

We took the kids there for ice skating and tobogganing and they both had a whale of a time! It's not cheap but it's definitely worth the money! Our daughter also attended a birthday party there (it was tiny tubing) and again, it was absolutely wonderful and the kids enjoyed themselves so much.

Was really happy when came first time on ice skating , but next time it was a winter wonderland and the ice wasn t really glazed, also it was a disco ball witch was really annoying and every time when you pas trough it you feel dizzy and sick. Hopefully they going to investigate that and clear a problem.

Huge place with lots to do, apart from skiing, snowboarding, snow play and ice skating. You can go on the climbing walls or swim in their pool. A bit expensive but a great treat for the family.
