I recently had the pleasure of visiting Big Rock Hub in Milton Keynes, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The facility itself is top-notch, with state-of-the-art climbing walls that cater to climbers of all levels. The staff members were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance and support. The routes were challenging yet well-maintained, providing a great workout and a thrilling experience. The variety of climbing options ensured that there was something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned climbers. The facility was clean, well-organized, and had ample parking available. I also appreciated the convenient location, making it easily accessible. Overall, Big Rock Hub is a fantastic climbing gym that I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their climbing skills or simply have a fun and adventurous time. Google Maps made it effortless to find this hidden gem, and I'm grateful for the accurate directions that got me there without any hassle.

Booked at fairly short notice for my 3 kids (17, 15 and 12) and myself on a bank holiday. The only option available was a private family climb session, which wasn't the cheapest, but in retrospect was very much worthwhile.
The centre was easy to find, had plenty of parking along with decent climbing walls, bouldering area and facilities. The harnesses, helmets and boots were all of a decent standard, clean and in good condition.
I had climbed a lot in the 1990s, but barely at all since, and my kids had only a small amount of experience. Our instructor Steph did a great job of ensuring we all had a safe and fun time without the safety aspects being overbearing. She quickly assessed my level of experience/rustiness, corrected a couple of mistakes and got me belaying my kids. Her instruction and encouragement had us all climbing at a more challenging level than I had expected, really quite quickly. The 90 minute session was more than long enough for us, with some very tired forearms by the end.
Recommended, would definitely go back.

Always a brilliant place to boulder. Love the new comp wall (not that I can tackle much on it!) and the changes to the main bouldering area are a big improvement, offering so many new opportunities to practice all types of dynamic, technical, strength and flexibility moves. And a lot requiring good commitment for the full send! Almost always a brilliant route set here, always enjoy coming here, my only *slight* bug bear (personal wish really!) is that it would be amazing if at some point it mirrored Bond in its opening hours and off peak times e.g. weekends after 6pm. Totally understand the staffing required on this is a big factor, but it's the only thing I'd change about Hub! 🙃

Good indoor climbing venue. Nice bright coloured holds on light walls to make routes easy to see. I have colour vision issues (as do 10% of the male population). I would just like the setters to avoid Blue and Purple routes on the same board!

Booked the adult taster session as I am complete beginner. At start of the session you are given all the safety equipment including climbing shoes and then taken to the climbing walls. Everyone in the group takes turn to climb starting from easy to harder levels. Instructor Michael was brilliant with words of encouragement and advice throughout the session. Had a brilliant time and thoroughly recommend as this place caters for beginners to experienced climbers.

Fantastic place. Used it twice a week while working in the area having not climbed for many years. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good supervision and advice. Good selection of walls and grades with a great bouldering section and gym. Kids very well catered for too. Watch out for early evenings when it can be busy with groups.

The best climbing centre I've ever been too. Massive central walls. The staff are knowledgeable and polite. I liked the routes. It was busy but there's enough there if you are waiting to try a route.
Formula Fast Indoor Karting is a leading destination for adrenaline seekers with one of the biggest indoor tracks in the UK, spanning 500 meters and housed in a tall building complete with a mezzanine gallery. The facility boasts an impressive professional yet friendly atmosphere that has transformed over time. Drivers will find it easy to navigate but challenging to master, and the karts deliver consistent performance despite their unique designs.
An amazing experience, visited a few years ago and the place has transformed since then, has a really professional but friendly atmosphere. Track is easy to drive but difficult to master and despite the karts all feeling different they all performed incredibly consistent which is so rare to find. Will definitely be coming again soon! :)

We went to do the axecelerate axe throwing and it was so much fun.
Think it is quite new to the venue & there were a couple of technical issues but overall the set up looks great & has a really cool arcade feel.
The staff member who was with us explained the safety measures & kept us safe. Highly recommend especially if they get a beer licence.

We had a brilliant time at Formula Fast. Really easy to book, and from the moment we arrived, Abbie S did a brilliant job of hosting. Joe and Casey did an excellent job getting us set-up and comfortable in the karts and the racing itself was a blast. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Was surprised how good this was. I have visited quite a few karting tracks over the last couple of years but had never heard of Formula Fast until recently.
Visited yesterday on a whim and was very impressed. Excellent facilities and staff were really friendly. Track is a little tight in places but last third is all flat out and is really fun as a result. Karts were powerful and they have an excellent blue light system which works really well, so slower drivers don't hold you up.
Would definitely recommend Formula Fast and will visit again.

Visited Formula Fast as Two for one of their practice sessions on 9/8/23, the third time we've been and the experience was as brilliant as ever. The track is quick and exciting and the staff are consistently brilliant, helpful, and welcoming (Regrettably I did not get the names of the staff, however the staff working 09/08/23 at 19:30 are a credit to FF). Will certainly be back soon!

Had an experience session here as a Christmas present. The place is fab, although the parking and entrance are confusing to find. As it was my first time karting I wish I had a much more detailed briefing rather than just the safety basics. Also help adjusting my seat would have been good as it was too far forward meaning I was inadvertently braking for most of the session!
Charlotte Kenton — Google review
It was amazing😁.
I planned to go to outside track. But the weather was miserable. So, I decided to try this place. I worried that karts might be slow or track too short. However, that wasn't a case. It didn't felt that i needed more power on this kind of track... one nitpick, it was a bit slippery on some corners. To be honest, I enjoyed that😅. And i believe that was more related to overall ambient temperature. (Warm up your tires😁) So that shouldn't be a problem in warmer weather..
I would suggest booking in advance to guarantee your time slot(i didn't. And I almost had to wait around for another half hour) But staff got me through on track in no time. All of them were professional and pleasant. I would like to say special thanks to Abbie. She quickly established my level of experience, and on health and safety briefing, she answered my questions quickly and clearly.
Just heads up. Please arrive a bit early because i struggled to find a place.
I'm definitely coming back 🙂

My son, now 12, came a couple of years ago and loved it.
He was back this week (after finally being up to it following a very complicated wrist break).
I booked entirely the wrong thing this time, rang up in a panic and it was changed to the correct session very easily, didn't get the name of the lovely lady on the phone, but she was brilliant. Just popped the remaining balance on our account for drinks on the day.
Amazing experience on the day, all staff were very friendly and so helpful on both visits.
We will be back again (sadly not every week as he'd like though, as it's too far away!)

Place is great. You're welcomed nicely. Provided everything you need and the track is fun and feels fast for an amateur like myself. The only reason I have down rated it slightly is because it's expensive. You only race for approximately 30 minutes and it's £50. To some that might not be much but for me it's pricey. If it was cheaper I would go so much more often because it's such a fun time.
Stables Theatre Ltd is a music venue and performing arts theater that hosts concerts, shows, and educational activities. In addition to its main function as a performance space, the venue also houses a café. The theater is highly recommended by patrons who praise both its friendly staff and the quality of its amenities. Despite being intimate, the space never feels cramped thanks to careful design in its layout.
Lovely, well presented venue.
Nicely intimate and yet not cramped.
Friendly staff.
Was my first visit but won’t be my last.

I attended a wonderful debut concert here in the stage 2 venue. It was brilliant.
Seated comfortable, sightlines good and the audio mix was spot on for types of instruments. I really enjoyed it and would like to come again. Hopefully 'The Beggs Sisters' might be in stage 1 next time! (They are new and I think will come up very fast).

Lovely venue, intimate feel to the performance.
Well organised car parking with plenty of stewards.
Lovely foyer with seated area to enjoy drinks.
Bar forms part of the foyer and plenty of staff available for efficient (not rushed) service. Good selection of soft drinks (alcoholic drinks also available), and small selection of crips, etc.
Likewise, the coffee station which had a small selection of sweet snacks.
Very friendly venue.
Modern, spacious toilets (I only visited the ladies) clean and well stocked.

Excellent venue. Saw Wishbone Ash and Mostly Autumn. Thoroughly enjoyed both. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.
The only downside is the fact that acts have to finish by 1030 due to new houses being built next to the venue and the house dwellers complain!!
Why would you buy a house near a music venue if you don't like loud noises.... Idiots
Update.. Mostly Autumn performed on the 6th December and played Christmas songs until nearly 11pm. I expect the local residents will be up in arms complaining! There is only one word to say, really..... HUMBUG 🎅🎅🎅

The venue is great place to see artists that have earned their place in popular culture. I would perhaps sort out a couple of things...
Stage left: near the disabled and mens toilets. The front row seats to this side are uncomfortably close to the stage. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but I noticed that on a couple of occasions that it was not easy for wheelchair users to get by without front row patrons standing. This isn't right for either parties really.
Parking. If it's a busy night and you hit it with a good half hour before the warm-up at starts, the ingress into the car park is slow. Painfully slow. We'll organised, but slow.
I didn't bother with ordering a drink as the queue always seemed long; so I've no idea on bar prices.
Other than that, this is a great venue for artists and patrons alike. I enjoyed the shows but found myself leaving early as I wasn't really feeling the vibe- though plenty were and did.. so.its probably a me thing and not an artist thing...

A really nice venue run by great people.

Easy to find, easy to park (free!), loved my visit to this intimate (400 seater) venue. Everyone gets a great venue.
It was a hassle and stress free night.
Peter Cox from Go West really knocked it out of the park.
A star lost due the expensive drinks, the member of the staff unable to work the scanner and a crazy ban on cameras. They need to wake up to the 21st century.

Bletchley Park was the site of World War Two code-breaking, and today it's an important heritage attraction with a good museum.
A great exhibition of life behind the scenes of the propaganda machines of the world.
Regardless of your thoughts on a war, this is a great story of humans solving problems, interactive, informative and worth a days ramble around the site.
We'd just like to thank everyone for an outstanding day, my daughter bought a Virgin Experience ticket for myself (I have been trying to get here for the last many years), we popped in at 12:00, bought a guide book (which turned out to be back to front, I liked that more, followed the form of Bletchley), we then left at 17:10 (apologies), our guide was amazing, informative, humorous and got the group working, 14:00 tour, 24/03/21.
We were so pleased that Bletchley Park staff/volunteers all seem to enjoy their work and it is noticeable.
Thanks again for a great visit.

It was my first time at Bletchley. The history was fascinating. The tour guide option is worthwhile as it is a confusing array of buildings although a map is provided. There were lots of interactive displays and lots of personal lived experiences narrated. I was surprised at how well maintained the house is with lots of arts and crafts designed woodwork, ceilings and plasterwork. The cafe was pleasant and efficient too. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing day. Very very interesting place, all the staff and volunteers were great, filled with loads of passion and knowledge and willing to share all of it. 5hrs it took to go round and I will be visiting again to learn much more. I thank all the staff and volunteers for keeping this history and memories alive from the gate on the way in, through buying the tickets, all around the the park, the restaurant (hut 4) the shop and on the way out. I will remember today forever.
Steve Lee — Google review
A really fascinating place to visit, more of a focus around the Enigma machine of course. We found that unlike other war museums there is less here about uniforms, weapons, medals etc which is a nice difference.
We visited on one of the hottest days in summer, so some rooms/buildings were incredibly hot. It goes to show the kinds of conditions they would have been working in at a time of war too, humbling.
I also particularly liked the art exhibition focusing on data. There were a few that you could contribute to.
Lots of green spaces, so great for a picnic if you bring your own lunch or snacks.

An excellent day out. Hard to believe we were there from opening time (10am) until closing time (4pm). Worth signing up for the free walking guided tour (outside). The headsets cover much of the same. Walking tour lasts for about an hour. Lunch in hut 4 - pretty good selection. A lot to see and your tickets are valid for a year to return anytime. Free on site parking or train station a couple of hundred metres away.

The tour guide gave us a very interesting view of the place and the story, which is always welcome. The family audio guide for children is welcome but not enough to keep them interested, despite the embedded games. Maybe some scoring board system or progress bar would have helped -"getting hired as a secret agent" thing. The interactive screens scattered in the huts do a far better job at keping them interested.

Loved our visit which has been known a must visit for ages. We arrived @11am & left 4 hours later not having seen all the exhibits. Some will br more useful than others data capturing is not my thing but loved being in yhr place where history was being made. We tried out hut 4 cafe for lunch..very tasty & also the free guided tour. It would be helpful to explain the guided tour is just outdoors not around the exhibitions & and for us it was a bit long winded & too detailed. Looking fwd to the new exhibitions they are planning and will definitely return. Highly recommended for junior school kids & upwards.

Bletchley Park was the UK biggest secret during WWII. It still remains one of the best secrets as a place to visit.
If you thought the movies were good you really need to visit Bletchley and see how really amazing the truth actually is. It is totally staggering what they did in those small huts.
But what is great about Bletchley in 2022 is that they have restored the site, and kept the 1940’s feel of the whole site. Everything from the huts to the cafes and toilets are in theme. There are lots of video, interactive and information to make it a great visit.
As other people have said keep the tickets, they are valid for a year. It may take 2 or 3 visits if you want to read everything.
One of the best sites in the UK to visit, even my partner who hates “war stuff” loved it.

Attracting visitors from all around the world, Bletchley Park has something for everyone, from absolute novices who don't know anything about WW2 to certified expert military historians. You can have the self guided tour with headphones and commentary in different languages, or pay extra for a human guided tour, which is probably going to be the best experience. There are original enigma machines, along with replicas of various other code breaking devices. The site isn't too big, so you can walk it all. There are lifts / elevators next to most staircases and access ramps everywhere, too, so older visitors are looked after. There is an impressively sized gift shop, with almost everything you can think of, including Bletchley Park gin, beer, puzzles, t shirts, etc... there are a few cafes, indoor and outdoor seating and picnic tables. The short movie clips they play in the cinema room are very informative and well put together, and the original huts with 1940s furniture are particularly impressive. There's plenty of parking and lots of staff on hand to help.

Lovely historical building, absolutely a must visit for anyone with an interest in the Enigma machine, and the first ever built Alan Touring world computer. This is a fascinating place that transcends history with the great display of artifacts used during WW2. Highly educational, and a great day out for anyone. Open Monday to Sunday, from 09:30 am to 17:30 pm. Paid parking available, wheelchair access, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Good day out with friends and family. If you get there when it opens and leave when it closes there is loads of history on codebreakers and enigma to see. There is a cafe, pond and all the machines that they used. Some of the machines are interactive with lots of touchscreen tablets so good for young children. (Under 12s go free).
James Coop — Google review
Visited on a Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Arrived as it opened at 9.30am and no queues, was recommended to take the included 1hr tour of the grounds with a guide (book at the information desk) and that was really informative.
Cafe and restaurant on site, food was very tasty with reasonable prices (London influenced?) and in the end we spent over 6 hours there. Believe we saw most of not everything but you could definitely spend longer there.
Great thing with the tickets is that within the next 12 months you can return again as many times as you want, so excellent value.

If the allied code breaking exploits during WW2 is of interest then this is the place. Lots of information about code breaking with interactive exhibits sprinkled in. Options of going along the guided talks or going solo. If you chose the latter, don't forget to pick up one of audio description packs (you can bring your own headphones if you wish). A great day out for the whole family.

Went on a school trip, Amazing visit. The mansion and huts really make you feel like you were one of the code breakers. The vehicles were very interesting, you had some which were used during working hours, then you had one caravan used in the 2000's. Would visit again.
Ashton Hegde — Google review
Overall, it isn't as good as it used to be, because Colossus is no longer included as an exhibit and they didn't make this clear at all. Also, the Winston Churchill room no longer exists.
They have improved what they do have, including a very good video when you walk in and a cinema area with another good video.
£7.99 for the bath ducks in the gift shop is a rip off, but other items in the shop were valued okay.
The children's playground needs some more items. It would also be good to have learning material in the museum for young children.

I had a really great experience. The site was well kept, lots of good modern exhibits, guided tours by volunteers and generally a lot of WW2 history. There is a play park and eating areas too. The tickets are valid for a year allowing for return visits. Well worth a visit.

A very immersive experience. So much information about very dedicated people with pictures around the buildings making it more personal . A lot to see and interact with . There are facilities to eat and sit down. Benches outside around the lake are a welcome break from the huts. One can only imagine what an 8 hour shift was like ! A lovely day out 😊

Visited on their 1940s weekend, it was really nice to see and hear all the different period clothing and gear. Bletchley Park as a museum was informative and interesting but not my cup of tea. Felt it was like reading an uninspiring textbook, very knowledgeable but rather tedious which, is why I suspect the ques for the few interactive exhibits were long.
Joseph Pinter — Google review
Very interesting place of historical significance. If you already know the history there isn't that much more to learn, and there is a lot of repetition. It's still great to see it all in person. Do follow the suggested order on the map, it really helpful and goes in a good order to understand the timelines.
Sadly, It's a bit on the expensive side and the food is very pricey so maybe bring a picnic and sit by the pond, it's a very charming spot.
I think very young children might not enjoy it but slightly older or teens may find it diverting enough if they like museum. There are lots of interactive displays dotted around. We spent about 2 hours here, so wear comfy shoes.

We had a great day at Bletchley Park! Even the security were happy and informative. All the staff were really helpful and polite.
We went on a tour which was 1 hour and it went so quickly, his name was John. An hour wasn't long enough tp talk about all the amazing things that happened there.
The exhibits were interesting, some were interactive. I liked the fact it told you how long until the next showing of a clip or movie. The D Day movie was great.
Pros: great day out, good shop, informative tour guide, good facilities.
Cons: expensive food (no peas, as they run out!), I'd like to see more of the mansion set up to how it would have been,
Overall a great day out and you get visit as many times as you like for 12 months after your visit which does include some events.

So much history so many unsung heroes and so little time. I was a bit time poor today but really wanted to visit this bastion of WW2 secret war winning legend. I got a taxi to the Park from Milton Keynes Central station with a quick stop at the hotel on the way. Driver agreed to pick me up there 3hours later and I was not disappointed. It is only a short walk from Bletchley station however and not much more from Bletchley Town Centre. This venue is very wheelchair friendly and is packed with information. The staff are incredible and go out of their way to make the visit special. As usual I spent too much in the gift shop but just couldn't resist as the items for sale are very relevant and not the usual fare. A gentle stroll around the grounds takes you through the actual buildings where democracy was saved by dedicated people who worked tirelessly to glean the intentions of the Nazis and give the allies the upper hand from early on. Without these heroes the world might be a different place today. The grounds are kept in immaculate condition and there is even a play area for the children, however on my visit many of the kids were enthralled by the interactive exhibits. A pair of older children (early twenty somethings) were having a great time trying on some of the authentic 40s apparel supplied for the purpose. Photography without flashes is welcome and the cake and tea I had in hut 4 was superb. There are guided and self media assisted tours available but I chose to go it alone as I'm familiar with the history. I would recommend this as a must see activity.

History at its best. We didn't realise how big the site was and how much information was available regarding the very important,if not crucial, work that was carried out leading up to and very much during the 2nd world war. You could easily spend two days here and still find things to read and discover. There are interactive code breaking opportunities for both children and adults, just a bit of fun for us but could well have saved lives during the war, well worth a go!!! Food was also available from a couple of sites and plenty of space for picnics if the weather is nice particularly around the lake in front of the house. Tours are available but get in early to book as they fill up quickly, if you miss those though, don't worry as a full audio guide is available and is very well put together and informative. Good disabled access too. Have a great time code breaking!!!!

The history of the site is presented in really interesting ways with quite a few interactive options along the way. The site is huge & fairly sure we missed bits 🤦 there was also work going on up at the house so it was covered in scaffolding so I'm really glad that the tickets are valid for 12 months so we'll be able to go back 📷😎

We’ve been wanting to head out to Bletchley Park for a while and so glad we finally did! What an amazing place. The code breakers did such amazing work and the curators of this museum have done an amazing job capturing this part of history. The grounds are also beautiful, even on a rainy day!

Excellent experience. Very informative and well preserved and documented. You need a full day or two to get through it all thoroughly. My ticket provides a second visit, so will have to go back to finish. A self listening tour is provided.

Excellent museum - held my kids attention for 3 hours (11 and 13) which is no mean feat. The 13 year old asked to visit after learning about Alan Turing at school. The exhibits are structured in a very accessible way and there is a nice balance between human stories and the more technical story of the code breaking. Would highly recommend, book in advance, allow for 3-4 hours - there is a lot to see.

Prepare to stay all day. We arrived for our timed entry at 11pm, took a tour, and then started on the exhibits. So fascinating, didn't even notice we'd missed lunch, and then it was closing time and we hadn't got to see it all.
Will definitely be taking advantage of the buy once visit many times in year ticket.

Before traveling to London, friends of ours urged us to visit Bletchley Park where Britain’s most brilliant code breakers played a very critical role in helping to speed up the end of WW2 by one to two years by intercepting German transmissions that were being sent by secret coded messages. The guides who led the tours were well informed and touring the grounds was absolutely fascinating! We took a train to Bletchley Park and the trip from London took about an hour but it was the highlight of our vacation and well worth the excursion.

Very interesting. History of the second world war code breakers. Phenomenal people. The site is very well kept and clean and tidy. It does somewhat lack in exhibits and furniture. Lots of empty rooms with story boards

Lots to see and learn on this sprawling estate. The guides are very informative, although you do have the option of picking up your own "listening guide" if you're in a smaller group.
You can easily spend the whole day here and still not cover most things. I was so engrossed in learning about this place, I completely forgot to stop for lunch - don't make that mistake, as there's a wonderful café here

Brilliant, educational fascinating glimpse into the work that helped end WWII two years early. Well laid out with audio and visual aids. Suitable for wheelchair access but there is quite a large area to cover if you want to see it all. Small but adequate cafe and interesting gift shop
The Milton Keynes Museum showcases the growth of the new city and surrounding area through its Victorian farm featuring horses and gardens, as well as hosting heritage days. The museum offers a variety of hands-on activities for all ages, although some visitors may prefer to explore independently rather than participate in presentations by volunteers. Ongoing improvements are being made to enhance the visitor experience. Admission prices are reasonable, with an annual pass available. Overall, it is a pleasant family-friendly attraction with something interesting for everyone.
Beautiful place, lots of things to see and experience, many interactive exhibitions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can easily spend a day at this museum without getting bored. Thank you to all the volunteers for making it such a lovely place to visit. 100% recommend

Great place for children. They have telephone, transportation, music, toy, and England in the past sections which children can explore. The cake at the cafe is delicious. Toilet is clean. Outdoor, they have big green yard which is great for kids to run around in summer, play ground, ship train, and concrete cow display. It's a fun educational place! They now have little city as well!

We had a great time here! Took my girls - 5 & 9 and one of their friends. It was full of surprises and lots of fun, hands-on things to do. Staff were great - a little clingy at times (sometimes you just want to explore things on your own and not get stuck into an exhaustive presentation) but they are all volunteers and very kind. Some ongoing improvements are being made, and so it is a bit of a “work-in-progress”, but what they do have on offer was pretty neat for all ages. Plus the price of entry is good for a whole year! So, yeah. A very pleasant family day out.

*****A hidden gem!*****
When looking for things to do with the children during the Easter break I stumbled across the MK museum on a Google search.
At first I was a bit unsure, to pay £40.00 up front for a family of 5 I thought was a tad expensive. Considering most museums are free and rely on donations I left it and didn't continue to proceed to book out.
However as the days passed, I kept going back to the Google page and after reading the reviews I thought nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Off we went on our travels. Travelling from Northampton by car we were there in no time (which was a bonus for the kids) and we pulled up at the car park. We were greeted by a very nice man who told us all about the boat sitting in the front of the car park. Going through the main entrance the people at reception were very polite and then explained that our ticket gave us free entry again and again for a full 12 months. 🎉
After a quick pic with the snowman ⛄we were told that their was an Easter hunt and the kids would be offered free chocolate in return for finding the coloured eggs around the grounds. This in itself was enough to make my 3 children happy, but we were all blown away when we opened the doors to the house and went in to what I can only say is like an Aladdin's cave.
The volunteers that work there are beyond lovely. They have a true passion for the objects and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with us. Usually in museums you aren't allowed to touch anything, but I loved when they said "please do touch, just don't break!". They wanted you to examine all the musical instruments, didn't mind how many times we turned a dial or pressed the keys of the piano. They let you look at the old fashioned Hoover's, play with the toys in the toy area, heat bread on the old fashioned stove and yes, eat the toast too.
We loved how everything just flowed from room to room. The post office with it's tuck shop was a huge thumbs up and we all loved going through the old fashioned shops. Everywhere we went there was always someone to talk to.
I think my children enjoyed the old fashioned school very much and of course the fantastic telephone section.
The grounds outside were very open. We took a picnic and managed to sit on the benches provided. There is a tea room which was lovely and the hubby enjoyed a cake whilst the kids played on the small play area.
For me my favourite place has to be the transport building. There was lots to see and again the kids were allowed to touch and play with certain objects.
The final building we went to was currently being used to display items/facts about Paralympics. We didn't spend as long in this building, but we all enjoyed carrying out a few sports and the children loved the colouring area.
After a good 4 hours and after finding all the hidden eggs, we decided to call in a day.
Going through the exit they have a very small gift shop, which made my youngest happy. The staff asked if we had enjoyed ourselves and if we were aware of the event days they have there. We were told that as we had paid for entry today, we were allowed to go to the event days free of charge for the full 12 months. 🎉🎉
I can't recommend this museum enough. There is something for everyone and I don't think you will come away disappointed.

Great place to visit. There is something for every one. The volunteers are all good for answering questions and giving information. We had a lovely time with Neil in The Print Room, he was so engaging and explaining everything. Not expensive to visit. We took a picnic. Lots of parking. The only thing that could be improved is admittance. It needs 2 people when first opening to admit everyone.

Different kind of museum I have seen in uk inside of the museum is made like a small ally with shops and all the victorian shops are there with actual people, the cobbler , post office , victorian kitchen , cinema and lots of interactive things are there.

There was a new gallery but unfortunately it was closed when we visiting it

The National Museum of Computing houses an extensive assortment of vintage computers spanning from the Bombes utilized in WW2 to present-day internet technology. The exhibits include functional artifacts, and knowledgeable staff members are available to explain them in detail. Guided tours are offered for visitors interested in learning more about the rebuilt Colossus and other noteworthy displays. It is an extraordinary destination that can be explored over several days due to the vast amount of content available.
This place was a great place for a family day out during the half term. I had 5 kids with my (all under 12 so they were all free) with the youngest being just 4 but the activity packs (which were £1 each but really well made and well worth it) and the handheld tablet guiding them around from place to place kept them engaged for well over 4 hours as they learned about some of the amazing work that was done in the Second World War and the important contributions to modern computing.
They absolutely loved the code breaking part of the activities and it was really engaging for them. We didn’t get to see all of it but the passes are annual passes so you are free to go back anytime within a year. I highly recommend it for an engaging, fun and essential education for the whole family.

Lots of reading and helps if you have a mathematical brain. Great to see how far computing has evolved in such a short time. Kids loved being able to play with some of the old computers towards the end and I enjoyed reading about women in computing throughout the ages. Took a couple of hours for us but if you have a real interest in learning about each piece could take a lot longer. Very small cafe area but great for a warm drink and snack.

The National Museum of Computing…
This is a very significant to British history and history in general. From computers the size of double bedrooms built in WW2, to modern tech such as iPods and the evolution of digital computing. There’s something for everyone in house. Staff are extremely helpful and educating. I would strongly recommend visiting to gain a greater understanding of the history of our digital world.
Cheers for reading - Nathan.

Amazing place if you are interested in the Enigma/Bombe or Lorenzo/Colossus as the volunteer guides are very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject and bring it all to life. Plus all the machines are shown in working order.
If you have any interest in computers and technology you will love the museum of all things techy and the retro area where you play some of the old favourites like Atari. Only a small place but with lots packed into it.

Wonderful experience back in time when computing began. Impressive museum, very friendly and passionate stuff. We played a great escape room game and learnt more about the development of the museum. If you want to have a corporate meeting, function, or team play, don't hesitate to go book. If you are also passionate about volunteering and want to support the museum, please express your interest and support the museum and its mission.

The collection of computers on display from all eras is absolutely unreal, and for £10 it's hard to miss.

This museum has some exceptional pieces of computing history. The admission charge is very reasonable and the staff are all very passionate about the machines on display. We had an excellent tour around the Colossus computer and the oldest digital computer the Witch. Would have spent hours here if we hadn’t also crammed in the Bletchley park next door. Plenty of entertainment for the kids as well with the 1980’s retro area.

Good range of computers and tech stuff through the ages. Have some old games you can play on as well. If visiting Bletchley Park on same day access to the NMOC is via a road up from Bletchley Park car park so you could effectively walk there or drive up and park there. There is money off entry if you have visited Bletchley Park.
Sharon Johnson — Google review
A truly fascinating museum and well worth a visit for all, but doubly so for anyone who can remember first-hand the machines of the 1980s and earlier. Lots of 'hands on' machines where you can play games on the home computers and consoles from the 1980s, as well as examples of 1960s/70s mainframe computers. In addition to the machines themselves, the museum charts how technology has progressed, for example the size and scale of memory devices - the truly massive hard disk platter in the photo could hold just 4Mbytes (each side!) which now wouldn't be sufficient to store the photograph of if that I took. The catering facilities are a somewhat limited (prepacked sandwiches and tea/coffee from a machine) but don't let that put you off. The only downside is that their website directs you to buy tickets through Eventbrite who add a 15%-20% 'service charge' to the ticket price. I wouldn't begrudge parting with the additional money if it went to the museum itself, but it's difficult to see what value Eventbrite are adding here - it detracts from the time and energy given freely by a large number of volunteers. Well done to all those volunteers, a truly splendid preservation of both fast-moving technology and memories from my teenage years.

This museum is an absolute must visit when going to Bletchley Park. It is a separately run museum requiring its own entrance fee. We were escorted by Robert, a highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Robert took time to explain the techniques and algorithms used in code breaking. Highlights of the exhibits are the Bombe and Colossus replicas, and the Enigma & Lorenz cipher machines. However, the history of modern computing from mainframes mechanical calculators is also well covered. Notes: the exhibition is closed to the public on Fridays. A discount voucher is provided for visitors to Bletchley Park.

The staffs are very knowledgeable and provide a few 30-minute explainer sessions on topics involving Enigma machine, Bombe, Tunny code system, and more. There are a few rooms and some corridors showing those very old computers, and you can see some black and white screens, screens with big green texts, and computer screens with only 16 basic colours. You can see devices/computers including really old Apple computers, old IBM computers, old Compaq computers, old model Ericsson/Nodia phones, floppy disks, disk readers, joy sticks, electronic circuits. Xerox, NEC, etc are just some old brands in electronic devices / phones that you can see. A large box of computer is labelled with Portable Computer. Some of the old computers are not simply for show. The museum made them available for visitors to play retro games (such as Pacman) on them. At the end of the tour, there is a small cafe / gift shop area.

Loved this place and actually preferred it to the more famous Bletchley Park museum, which is next door. Having worked with ICL 1900 and 2900 main frames it was great to see them again after 49 years. Also enjoyed seeing Collosus and Pheonix. Seems such a pity its not in a more accommodating building as I'm sure there's much more that the centre has to offer. Would I return, yes and would I recommend, yes.

Great little museum - we spent a couple of hours here with our 13yo and 10yo. Lots to see and plenty of working exhibits to look at. Some rooms are noisy, but I believe they have ear defenders available to lend for young visitors who might need them. Friendly, helpful volunteers are on hand to chat to you about the various large machines on site. Plenty of hands-on activities and working games computers to try out. Nice little cafe/shop offering sandwiches and drinks and a selection of books and merchandise at the end. It was a highlight of our trip!
MK Snozone is an indoor ski slope complex offering ski and snowboard lessons, group parties and kids' programmes. The staff are always friendly and communicative, ensuring that every lesson goes smoothly. In addition, instructor Matt is fantastic - patient, calm and attentive during the lessons, he helped son reach a new level up. Additionally, Josh - who looks after the children's programmes - was also great with son.
Excellent real snow slope, had an absolutely amazing time on the snow slopes with family and friends, very family friendly atmosphere, total blast, my kids loved it too. Highly recommend this activity, you can't beat real snow slopes, however this gets you as close to the real snow experience as possible without leaving the country. The facility as a whole is fabulous, lots to do.
Our host James was great, really got involved, and made our time there safe and awesome for us all.

Took my boy sledding the other day and he loved it. It is like disappearing into another world, a pretty cold one, but great fun. A bit more comfort in the seated area would be great. More activities for the kids, like an arcade or a play area beyond the hamster-sized soft play would be great. They definitely have the space! Best to shop around to get kitted out, as it can get pricey!

I always love this place - great value and is always a fun time! Ski and boot rental is always efficient, and the staff are always ready to help. Only one small issue was that the lift kept stopping from all the beginners, which caused a long queue, however it was to be expected. Halfway through they opened up the second lift, which resolved the problem brilliantly and had a great last hour! I really recommend it for beginners or people who need to practice before hitting the slopes! Thanks for a great day out :)

Shout out also to Josh for keeping an eye out for our boy 😊 he’s mentioned you a few times 😊 We drive over an hour for these lessons so it’s satisfying to feel that the time, effort and cost is justified!

Real snow and decet size, you can have fun there, and it's also a great place for kids to learn. They have classes for children at different levels, book online. The only issue with classes is you should book in advance, you may have to wait a few weeks for a particular class. The waiting area is big and there is a cafe. You can also rent all the gear on the spot.

We really enjoyed our visit to snozone, we went on a weekend and it wasn’t too busy. The slope was wide and spacious so you have lots of room if you’re learning or perfecting your technique.
The snow felt quite sticky under the ski’s and there were a few random icy patches on the slope which can’t always be avoided but a little extra caution needed to be taken for beginners.

Good learner experience for my 11 year old. Snowboarding levels 1-4 being taught by instructor Archie. It’s a shame the teaching earlier is almost out of view for parents that attend to watch from the cafe. Facilities are great, equipment in good condition and friendly staff. I’d of preferred if the groups were maybe 4 or 5 people instead of 6 for more time to practice but it is what it is. We shall return for sure 🏂

Although it is not very crowded, it is very good that there is a real snow, the presence of such a place is very successful, the washbasin and dressing rooms were very clean and hygienic.

I did a level 1 & 2 lesson which lasted 3 hours. The instructor was very knowledgeable and encouraging.
As the lesson went on he differentiated the class so that everyone was improving on what they had achieved so far. I was happily surprised at how much I developed in the time and came away with a card listing all the skills I had gained and what lesson level to try next to move forward.
All equipment was included in the price. I just needed to wear long trousers and sleeves (I wore a thin layer plus waterproof trousers and jacket so as not to get too hot when exercising).

Thought I'd try the Milton Keynes slope after visiting the Snow Dome at Tamworth many times, the size of the slopes is larger, longer and good to have button lifts over a escalator. I did feel the snow didn't quite flow as well here and mainly felt more sticky especially the lower third down you went. Possibly the chemicals used or down to the hired ski's, although saying that a friend was on his own board and made the same comment of how 'sticky' it felt.
Paul Screen — Google review
Not skied in 27 years so needed to test muscle memory
Slope is obviously not huge, and the bottom definitely flattens out a lot. Snow is a little sticky, But the skiing is worth it. Had an exceptional time skied without being rushed for 4 hours. Highly recommend it if you prepping to go away or (as my daughter did) taking lessons. She did the 8 hour plough to parallel course and I was really impressed. Instructor gradually built the technique explaining fully. End result my daughter was skiing really well ready for our ski trip
Food is a little meh in the cafe. But everyone’s we met was super helpful and nice
Price wise think it was great value. My session was £45 all in (with skis, boots and helmet). Daughter was £200 and included all equipment, lunch and instruction! Bargain !

I've been to this theatre a couple of times for Cluedo (pic) and Dream girls to name a couple of shows!
Can't say I've had a bad seat at the theatre in any visit really, having sat in both the Stalls (front) and the Circle (front and back). Each seat I've had, has had a pretty decent if not perfect view of the stage and plenty of leg room each time!
The theatre is massive, so I think, unless you're in the rafters, you can't really find a terrible seat.
There is, however, one fairly big issue with the theatre!! When it comes to the interval, it just feels like there aren't enough staff working on the bars. Every time I've been, the queues have been pretty large at every bar. While the staff are working tirelessly to get through all the customers, it still feels incredibly slow, to the point I'm sure some people miss the start of Act 2?! While there are pre-interval orders and order to your seat options available, I still feel more staff would help.

Went to see Greatest Days, really enjoyed the show very uplifting, with good Take That music. Had good seats with a great view. We ordered two glasses of wine 175ml and 2 ice creams for the interval and was shocked by the price £28.50!!!! The two glasses of wine cost £19 which I think is very overpriced and they were served in a water glass. One of the ice creams was missing from our order and I had to go to the bar area and find out what had happened to it! Would give the show 5 stars and the cost of drinks and ice cream 1 star.

We got to the seats with plenty of time but as the carer ticket was on the end of an aisle my grandad had to keep standing up to let people past. As he isn’t as mobile now too and the carer of my grandmas ticket this wasn’t ideal for him to keep getting up as not enough room for them to pass. The show finished and after getting ourselves ready for our journey home we were sat at the front of the building inside. My mum didn’t manage to get a disabled parking space outside so was about to leave to get the car and park at the front so that my grandparents didn’t have to walk far. The security then asked for us to leave the building. My mum then explained she will be about 5 minutes just to get the car and bring out the front so not as far in wheelchair and for my grandad to walk. He then said I understand but you need to leave. We were appalled by the lack of empathy from him to my grandparents to make them wait outside in the cold. There were still people in the bar but he didn’t have the decency to let them wait inside for a matter of 5 minutes. Not acceptable.

Going to MK Theatre is as good as going to the West End, but without travelling to London.
Saw Aladdin and a terrific production, especially the magic carpet sequence. Brilliant cast, particularly the actor playing Genie. Bravo

Attended the first pantomime of the year and what a fantastic show. It was extremely funny start to finish. The theatre is well run with COVID protocols in place. I would give it a 5 star rating but the price of the refreshments and snacks are ridiculous. Plus I think its unnecessary to get people to come in so early. All that aside, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back.

Both myself and my partner went and watched The Play That Goes Wrong
OMG it was fantastic non stop laughing from start to end.
The location of the theatre is easy to find inside the building its clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful.
If I had to have a moan it's the parking it would be lovely if they opened the car parking again to make access easy

It was our first time at this Theatre but will definitely be back. Staff were very helpful and quick at getting you in. Lots of little bar areas to get drinks and you can pre order and get them delivered to you in your seats. We parked in the multi storey which is very easy and a 2 minute walk to the Theatre and if you get there early and want to eat then there's a really good choice of places to dine.

Watched Stuart Lee, excellent performance by the legend.
The seats are limited view as if you were watching a full show you may miss the top corner of the set design (didn't matter for Mr Lee).
Quick entry, bag search and ticket scan. Ushers quick at directing you to your seats. Seats comfortable enough. Bar service as quick as you would expect in a busy theatre. No complaints.

Lovely theatre. It did get very hot in there once everyone arrived. The view from circle was good. Parked in the multistorey across the road and it wasn't too expensive. Good atmosphere.

Looks fabulous from the outside and plenty of room in the foyer. However we paid £150 each for seats in row d and were very disappointed. So little room to manoeuvre into seats. Although I am quite slim found it really hard to reach my seat. Don't go if you are slightly overweight!
Also, the majority of people had coats on as the theatre very cold. Mentioned this at half time.
The show, however, was brilliant.
Strongly suggest if you are attending theatre to find another as have been to many and this was the worst one ever!
Sheridan Wheeler — Google review
It's a nice venue. Thought the security asking to search bags was totally pointless from the looks of it. The bar area is too small for this size of event. Seating was not great. Especially when you have a head in the way. I swear I had the tallest person in MK sat in front of me. Missed the first half and moved to watch the second half. I prefer the pitch seating at Derngate in Northampton.

We went on a bus trip and were in the Stalls for I Should Be So Lucky - The Musical. Pleasant view but a little cramped. This is the only theatre which I haven't had to queue for the toilet at interval. I would have given it 5 stars but had to pay £7.60 for 2 bottles of Sprite which I thought was ridiculous because it was HOT in there!!
Mark Anthony Blades — Google review
Disappointed that any ambulant disabled patrons are sent to door 4 where there is just one seat, obviously taken by a mother and get kids. The doors never opened until way after 7pm for a 7.30 performance so I had to sit on the stairs. Likewise, just one disabled toilet meant using to queue. Not sensible when been sitting for a while watching the first half.
Overall, disabled provision in the foyer is very poor.
The show Aladdin was awesome but this review isn't about the show.
Also, nowhere near enough disabled parking and obviously no checks who parks in what is provided

I love MK Theatre, it’s a good size and easy parking. Bar area is very busy, and I believe only has one bar that sells hot drinks. Watched Aussie Floyd which was great, however, had two tall blokes arrive late and sit in front of us in seats that were not theirs, one wearing a hat! They did nothing but put their heads together talking throughout the show, blocking my view of the stage. What’s the point of paying for a ticket and then talking the whole time, spoiling the show for others. A very strong smell of weed around us after the intermission! 🤔
The Stadium MK is a fantastic modern venue for concerts and events, boasting excellent views from Block 5 Row X with good sound quality throughout. However, parking can be difficult to find as there is limited space around the stadium; alternatively, shuttle buses are available at an additional cost. Inside the stadium, there are numerous small bars and food options such as Papa John's pizza. Prices for drinks may be considered expensive by some people.
Had a great day watching the Lionesses vs Portugal. The game wasn't great being a 0-0 draw but the full stadium made for a great atmosphere with a real family friendly crowd.
Unbelievable ground for a league 2 side, just a shame they don't have the fan base to come close to ever filling it!

Phenomenal night. Lovely weather and even better music playing. There is hardly any parking around the stadium. There is next to tgi Fridays but it gets full early. The shuttle bus service for £9 per person makes you find and pay separately for parking. Inside the stadium there are plenty of small bars and there are some outside. Premium prices though.

Went to England Lionesses v Portugal friendly.
Real mixed bag. Loved the stadium, very open, light airy with great views and padded seats.
Getting in was chaotic with longs ques.
Getting a beer was chaotic with long ques
Trying to get food was chaotic with long ques and very limited options for food/drinks available when you finally got to the front. Separate ques for alcohol and food.
By halftime there was literally noting left at the catering kiosk apart from chocolate bars and crisps.
Provably not used to bigger crowds maybe? Still, pretty poor for an international match.
Great stadium and location though.
Matt Bolton — Google review
It's a nice stadium. Easy access. Good parking. Great views. The food was very good, mini papa John pizza for £6 was good. Beer was OK but you are huddled in the dankest most miserable Bar area I've ever seen. Like having a drink under the concrete stairs of a 1970s tower block. It's like your being punished for wanting a drink. Honestly it was shockingling bad. The bar looks temporary. The staff were miserable. They wanted to be thier less than us. Not what I'd expected at all. 4 stars stadium. 1 star bar.

We stayed at the MK stadium hotel and had a great time. The hotel itself is wrapped around the pitch so you get a great view. The room was of an excellent standard and my son particularly liked the fresh warm cookies gifted on arrival. We also visited the on-site Marco Pierre-White Steakhouse and had a great meal as a family treat.

Visited Stadium MK for a Tuesday night football match. Would recommend booking parking in advance to save a bit of money. Restaurants need booking too so we ended up in McD. Great stadium but very poorly attended and no atmosphere from the home stands. I was impressed with the number of flag bearers who did a great job before the match.

Free cookie on arrival free items available at reception razor tooth brush etc.
Worth staying 8.5/10

I recently had the pleasure of visiting MK Stadium.
One of the standout features was the ease of access – getting in and out of the stadium was a breeze. Plus, the availability of on-site parking for a reasonable fee was a welcome surprise in today's world of pricey parking lots.
We booked online ,Ticket prices for the football match were also reasonable for family.
Once inside, I found the seats to be particularly comfortable, providing a pleasant viewing experience. What impressed me even more was that no matter where you sat, the view of the pitch was excellent.
However, I must admit that when it came to catering, there was a slight downside. The food and beverage options were somewhat limited, and the prices were on the expensive side. That said, it didn't overshadow the overall positive experience I had at MK Stadium.

Great stadium with brilliant facilities and helpful staff. Location isn’t the best for away football fans due to the distance from the train stations and nearest pubs. Guinness is only served at 1 of the away team kiosks so ended up queuing for 10 minutes to get to the front and be told to go to the other kiosk.

Fantastic stadium! Was very impressed by the quality and the size of the ground. Watched MK Dons vs. Notts County in the 32°C Heatwave. Shame there were only 8,000 fans in the 30,000 stadium however, I was much more impressed with the atmosphere than expected. Although the ground is a bowl, it was much prettier than I expected. Padded seats were a bonus.
Loads of retail facilities in the area, with plenty of places to eat.
Car park was a farce. Do not park in N1. Took over an hour to get out. Have found it easier to get out of areas in London quicker.
It's worth a visit if groundhopping. Ticked off my list

For a stadium so big the lack of facilities and the lack of available refreshments at half time was terrible 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ the toilets were disgusting and the toilet roll holders were falling or had fallen off.!

Not for the single parent driving!
The twin beds are teeny tiny. Do not dare to roll over, which means no sleep for the driver, thats fun for the morning (fyi you have to pay extra to park your car). You cannot sit up in bed and read - 0 support in the pillows and no extras in the cupboard.
The 'USB' TV is redundant as they've performed some mastery which declares - 'unavailable' when you try to access and takes you to their programmed hotel menu, so leave your Firestick at home and be ready for a tantrum if your kid likes the TV on to sleep as most regular TV channels are not appropriate for kids to sleep to!
There are a handful of tea bags and coffee (4 mini milk pots) but you'll want it black after no sleep and you may be handed a complimentary cookie on the way in which is yummy!
The clientele can't have much class as everything is nailed down including the batteries in your TV remote which after 4/5 commands locks and you have to power off the TV and reset the remote - you can't wiggle the screwed in batteries!
Every entry and exit from the surrounding rooms will vibrate through the wall you are sleeping against and shake your brain.
However, it is very clean and very spacious and the staff are lovely. I'm sure if you are a drunk football fan travelling by train it would be perfect.

SI5 Spy Missions is an exciting indoor adventure facility that offers spy-themed missions for families, parties or work events. It is suitable for children as it allows them to be active while using their brains. With a host named Chloe who ensures the experience is enjoyable and fun. The complex also features a cafe which adds some convenience to the overall experience.
Superb experience - family of 3 with 11 year old girl. Very active and using our brains. Lovely host Chloe - if we loved closer, would come back again!

I held an 8th birthday party at SI5 Spy Missions in Milton Keynes for my daughter & 18 friends. The booking process was easy and I was able to find all information that I needed online. The party table was set and clearly marked upon arrival and the staff were helpful with us setting up.
We had 4 groups for the mission and the 'agents' were brilliant. The kids were all around 8 years old and the 'agents' were patient, clear and made the mission so much fun for the kids.
We had a couple of nervous kids in one group who were a bit anxious about the dark and some of the smaller 'vents' that had to be passed through. the allocated 'agent' for the group was very understanding and caring and assisted those round via an alternative route. By the end all kids were reassured and participated in passing through vents/passages and corridors.
The kids enjoyed the food and had a good variety of options to choose from. The only thing worth mentioning is the lack of space - it really was quite tight as there were quite a few parties. However, we were pre-warned that there wasn't space for all parents to stay so it wasn't an issue.
I would definitely recommend SI5 Spy Missions in Milton Keynes

Not very good at all.
One of the staff members thought it was OK to wear his trousers round his thighs displaying he bum and pants to all the kids... even after we asked him to pull them up... the place was dirty and dingy totally un organised we had to remind them to bring the food out and then again to get the kids drinks.. it was a real shame.
This is a definite never go back it was truly awful and ruined our daughters day.

I booked this as a corporate event for my team for a Christmas party. We all had a good time and thought the overall experience was enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and we were greeted very nicely. However the missions itself could have been made better, with a lot of things broken in the rooms it was not hidden very well with staff saying “ohh this is broken we will skip that bit” or “you have the right code but it’s not that I’ll have to put in another one” just seemed a little unorganised and unprofessional. Also, the ‘agents’ walking around with us didn’t seem to know what a lot of things did or what was going on as we’d ask questions and the reply would be “I honestly have no idea”. Understandably things break and go missing overtime but things like printouts are easily replaceable and codes on laminated bits of paper could be changed to reflect the correct usable codes. The experience could have been tailored more towards adults by having the opportunity to figure out what we needed to do rather than getting into a room and told exactly what to do to move on as this would have made it more of a team building activity. However, like I said we had a laugh we just feel it could have been made better and a bit more enjoyable.

The spy course is designed for KIDS ONLY. As an adult, the only thing you'll find challenging is fitting through tight spaces designed for children.
In my opinion they should make it clearer that as an adult you won't find any of the tasks/challenge difficult. I expected it to be more like escape room. Our guide was very helpful and tried to make it as enjoyable as she could.

Disappointing.
I had my son's birthday party here.
There is no opportunity to spectate the activities, no video and no photographs.
Communication with the staff was minimal and rushed.
They had 1 member of staff rushing around for the full 2 hours I was there. They clearly need more staff to provide a professional service.
The food looked like it was Tesco economy, just pizza and chips.
Everything about this service was at the minimum standard.
There is very little car parking, so I suggest parking in the B&M car park.
It isn't easy to find - half the parents got lost, circling the gym.
The room where there parents sit (and children eat) is very noisy as there are about 8 groups at the same time. This isn't a significant issue, it just makes it hard to have conversations.
They could improve the service significantly with little expense (and even make money on photographs), instead, they are choosing to do the bare minimum.

The Centre:mk is a vast indoor mall that primarily houses chain stores, departmental outlets, and eateries. The shopping complex boasts of outstanding baby changing and feeding areas that are beautifully designed and well-maintained with utmost care for the little ones.

It’s a whole new world in there! An entire day is barely enough to cover the place. You can get anything you need from there. They have Primark, H&M, M&S, River Island and a lot more clothing stores and a variety of restaurants. They also have a market just outside the mall, where everything is super affordable and fresh! Plenty of parking space. Restroom facilities are also great. For those who use public transport, bus station is just outside the centre.

Having lived in Milton Keynes in the 1990s I remember the Centre:MK felt like some science fiction future of shopping. now the world has caught up, and it’s another shopping centre. The pandemic has clearly been an enormous strain on the retail economy and there are lots of competitive places around in a 20 minute drive. Give it another try, because it has one of everything, it is exceptionally easy to use, the new parking facilities work well, and this is beginning to get a little bit of its buzz back as people return to the real world. I paused for coffee and to enjoy the Christmas displays – and the memories of taking tiny children to see them. They may all be adults now, but we need to vote with our wallets if we want to keep marvellous things open.

I love to come to this mall because there's plenty to do, I can go in the outside area, but I can also stay inside, there are so many types of food, clothes, stores, benches to sit if you get tired. I can conveniently come with a car and to park it or by bus. The big hall is always made to add up to customers' great experience - from indoor sand beach to a fashion weekend with lovely models and dancer that are presenting the brands amazingly. My kid also enjoys our visits here.

We really love spending our time here and we are visiting anytime we can. The centre offers a wide variety of shops, from high-street brands like Marks & Spencer, Next, River Island, massive Primark, and John Lewis to independent stores. You'll also find plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from. Definitely go outside and sit and enjoy your meal,they have a brilliant area which we love.The shopping centre is quite big, well-organized and easy to get around
Convenient parkint with a lot of spaces, you shouldn't have much trouble finding a spot to leave your car, it's around £2 per hour at the premium car park, but you can find cheaper areas.
Centre:MK is a great place to spend your day shopping and eating out. The baby change area is just lovely, and for toddlers they've just introduced some cars called KiddyCars which they can enjoy while you shop our little one loved it. Up to 3 hours you will pay £5 and they also require £15 deposit.

This is a fantastic place. The Centre:mk has every type of shop you could possibly imagine, and loads of places to eat too. I’ve always found it easy to park here, and it’s clean and comfortable inside. There’s also a cinema and places to go skiing/snowboarding nearby. There’s also a cinema too, as well as a great park. I’ve been here dozens of times, and it’s never disappointed. They also quite often have events in the main concourse. This includes craft markets and job fairs, one of which directly ended up with me getting a job offer, which isn’t something you’d expect from a simple shop. I also regularly bring friends and family here as a day out, and I bought many Christmas gifts here too. The Christmas decorations this year were great. The centre even had a Santas grotto, Xmas stalls and a Christmas themed train for people with children. I hope to keep coming here for many years to come.

One of the biggest shopping mall in UK. You will find most of the brands with full stocks than other outlets. For eg. I have been to TKMax stores mostly in London but this has a huge store with ample of stock and fresh items. Washroom is such love.
You will find plenty of places to relax and sit even if waiting for someone.
Plus point, lots of food stalls out here. Even wanna grab a beer and chill, here its possible.
An all time favourite place whenever you feel bored at home and wanna do some shopping with chilling. 😁

Toilets are always clean and well maintained. Lots of things for kids to do- I only wish the ride on toys in the mall like the octotnauts gup A and paw patrol fire trucks would take our international credit cards--my kids didn't get to ride on them because it wouldn't take them. Or at least have an option to insert coins.
We enjoyed the amusement park rides in the foyer next to John Lewis. Lots of options for eating places. And tons of small eats/treats . We enjoyed the chocolate drizzled Smarties Pretzel 🥨 and slushies!

It was decorated for Christmas when we visited and it was still quite busy in the early evening.

Tickets for the theatre ranged from £19 up in the gods with limited views to £60 at the front for the show we saw.

Enormous shopping centre with a wide variety of stores and restaurants. It currently has beautiful Christmas lights and displays. There’s also a temporary train and roundabout located inside too.
I was also delighted to see a band performing Christmas music during my visit to the shopping centre.
It can get quite busy especially around the Christmas time of the year however it is very spacious so you don’t need to worry about bumping into people.
I recommend using a map if it’s your first time visiting because it is relatively easy to get lost in this shopping centre.
Overall this is definitely a great place to go shopping in general and is especially great for Christmas shopping.

This shopping centre has a lot of different varieties of shops, it's clean and the staff are friendly.
The only down side is that you have to walk a lot if long distance as the shops which you might want to go to not all close by which wastes a lot of time and energy especially if you have a pushchair or wheelchair with you. Make sure you bring comfort walking shoes. Even the car park is a good walk away. Especially if you want to find a cheap tariff one.

Perhaps one of the biggest shopping centers outside London.
We had a great day out here. It has plenty of food shops around.
There's almost every high street shop inside.
Lego shop for kids too just outside the building.

Lovely Christmas feeling, the centre is really well decorated, Beautiful decorations, and the Christmas market was the best we have seen locally. Real nice outing. Lots to do here for the family. The santas groto and magical train, will definitely come back. The best shopping centre around locally.
Aqua Parcs is an amusement park located on Willen Lake, featuring inflatable obstacles and slides that are brightly colored blue. The facilities provided are complete, with changing areas, lockers, wet suits and buoyancy aids available for use. A combination padlock can be purchased for 5 pounds to keep personal items safe in the lockers. The water park experience lasts around 50 minutes and is well-organized with plenty of challenging obstacles and fun slides to enjoy.
SUCH A GREAT DAY!!!!! Me and my family travelled up from near Bristol to see some friends who live near by. They had recommended we all go to the aqua park, and it was great. Iggy was the name of the girl who ran our group and she was more than amazing!! I can’t really speak for the others but she made our time there awesome! :)

Not sure why Google says it's closed - it's not!
Really helpful, friendly staff, and the facilities were clean and well maintained.
Only downsides were the showers were sensor operated which meant they were difficult to control, and the lockers didn't actually lock, so not very secure. Also the signposting to the reception could be better!

Fantastic way to spend your day. There is a lot to do - picnic, walking/running, cycling, adventure water sports, dog walking, maze, bird watching and sports. There is always something going on in the swollen Lake/Park. Kids love this park. Car parking available all around the park. Good connection to public transportation. A few mins walk to shopping centre and main Milton Keynes Hub. Best place to visit in Milton Keynes.

My son went on the inflatables and loved it. He went with a friend and said it had always been good but the new course was amazing. Everyone was apparently super kind including the people there and the lifeguards. A group of men and a lifeguard called Ethan convinced my son to do all the slides and the mammoth ( a big vertical drop ) and he loved it. He also said how funny and brave Ethan was flipping of the drops.

Me and my friends had such a great time, we spent the whole session laughing. The lifeguards looked after us very well, especially Grace who was a lot of fun. The course itself was brilliant and we will definitely be back ti try it again.

Absolutely amazing, had such a great time, would definitely recommend and will go again, wish we'd done the 2hour session, buy the socks and be prepared for the initial cold water shock, seriously take's your breath away!

Fantastic day out, staff are really helpful and the whole checking in process is smooth and easy. Bring your own small bore padlock (40mm pin) if you have one or get a combination one for fiver.
All the kit they provide is top notch, beach shoes are good addition unless you are prepared to to let your feet go from under you with comedic effects every time.
Time in the each area is just enough, a giant Inflatable bag for sending friends or family skywards would be a great addition if the depth of the water would allow it.
Parking if the main parking is busting then park at pagoda Park. £4 for five hours is adequate enough, there is a two hour park option but it would not cover it and best to be safe side. It's only down the road and is a 15 minute walk via the underpass.

Brilliant fun. Excellent lifeguards who were really reassuring, helpful, & fun on the course. Water was 11° but the guards gave us two wetsuits each and although slightly chilly we had the best time and barely noticed the temperature. MK.

Fab time! Lots of fun on various obstacles and felt very safe despite not liking to swim when i can't see or feel the floor/ground. All the lifeguards were really cheerful and helpful, but Grace was amazing and went above and beyond when taking our group through the new game station. Venue in general is great and there's a spectator area if you want to come along but not actually participate.

What an amazing day out. I must admit I was dreading it, as I hate the cold.. but the lake was 18-20 degrees and with the wetsuit it was fine. The whole experience was fantastic. To a succint and to the point briefing, to the very helpful and reassuring staff, the simple check in process, I really loved my experience. The actual 'course' was wonderful, it really caters for different age ranges and bravery ranges..lol.. The staff and lifeguards on the course were always there to give a helping hand with big smiles on their faces. One hour was just the right time for the whole course which is divided into separate tracks. I really loved it, as did my little 9 year old. Good value for money too. I will be back! Thank you

Fantastic day at Willen Lake Aquaparcs.
Timed entry means no ques, not over crowded. We had fun all through without waiting in lines. Staff are friendly and run the operation very well.
We are all good swimmers and reasonably fit which is recommended to enjoy this activity to the max. Lots of running, balancing, jumping, sliding and falling in water. Lots of laughs!

I haven't even attended the booking yet but have received the best customer service from Mel! From helping me change the date of the booking to then changing the time, confirming all the waivers were received and everything all done!
Mel has gone above and beyond every time I have been in touch. You just don't get that kind of customer service anymore! Highly recommend speaking to Mel if you have any queries. Can't wait to get there now!

Absolutely brilliant day out, facilities were great and had everything we needed.
Not knowing what to expect, we were pleased there were changing facilities, lockers, wet suits and buoyancy aids. Had to pay £5 for a combination padlock for the lockers to put our phones in etc. which you can keep and take home with you to use on other things.
The 50 mins or so we got on the water park were great and well organised. Loads of challenging obstacles and fun slides. They were also quite varied so if you aren’t as agile or brave as others, you could still have fun.
The day was absolutely lovey at 21 degrees and falling in the water was very welcome!

We had a great experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We were a group of 11 ranging from 7 years - adults and we all enjoyed it. We booked the 1st session of the day which was quiet but meant we could go round the course easily and without any hold ups, which suited the younger members in the group. We all really enjoyed it and I hope we can go again in the future.

Was a brilliant fun time. However, the number of people on one session with such little space to run and bounce was slightly frustrating, especially with tiny kids running around also. I've been to places where they don't allow smaller younger children to go on as it is a big risk..
The time on each section is tight with the numbers it was difficult to navigate to what u want to do next..
I would recommend here to anyone. The team brilliant. The area in general is wonderful to walk. Lots to see and do.
Gulliver's Land Theme Park Resort is a traditional amusement park that caters to families and children aged 2-13. The park features numerous rides, shows, and play areas for all ages to enjoy. Visitors can experience classic attractions such as carousels, roller coasters, and ferris wheels while also exploring themed sections of the park such as Adventure World and Discovery Bay.
Quick advice, buy the tickets ahead you'd save a fair amount. 👍 Gullivers land is such a delight for families who have more than one under 10 kid. It's not for older children, but we have a 6 year old and a 4 year old. So as you can imagine we didn't skip a single ride! There was soft play areas for babies, sandpits, lots of climbing frames. The food courts were amazing too for a theme park, with many halal options (to whom this applies). There was a selection from fish and chips, to burgers, grills, to chips. Fab honestly. We spent a good 5 hours there. Its definitely a good day out for one or two family groups. We had a blast.

This family destination might seem fun and interesting at first, but seems that no investments were made through the years to keep it to a high standard, lots of statues are chipped and dirty, they should look seriously into improving their maintenance of the entire resort to bring it back to life.
There are many activities for older children, but for my 4 years old daughter wasn't that much to do, therefore spend only 2 hours including our lunch.
Food court should be improved as well.
Don't think we will be back again, sorry, not worth the money. There are better options available somewhere else at other parks
Attached are the best pictures we took on our visit
Ramona Rusu — Google review
Value for money, great for kids around 2-12.
Queues were no to bad on a summer holiday weekend.
Park itself is not huge, all rides very close together. Food court and slushies etc available.
Issue is cleanliness around rides/park, it really could do with a little TLC. It is not nice when waiting in queue and you have cobwebs touching your face.
The park could do with a revamp, looks a bit outdated.
Nevertheless the kids enjoyed it, and it’s great value for money.

Very nice experience for the whole family. Will come again in the future. Good selection of rides for kids above 90 cm tall. It was worth the one hour drive. Managed to get parking as well (nearly full the car park). Used blue light discount. Good vibes.

Visited Gulliver's Land in Milton Keynes. It caters towards younger kids so the rides are not too extreme. The place felt dated and looked like it needed a refurbishment in lots of areas. The toilets were very dirty and needed to be cleaned more often. There was only one dryer working in the toilets. On the plus side, the queues were not that long for the rides and they offer concessionary tickets which allow queue jumping. Overall, I would say there are better theme parks.

We had a brilliant time here, was our first time visiting and we were not disappointed! I have a 2,7,9 and 13 year old and they all had so much fun!! So much to choose from, plenty of rides for everyone, we took a picnic so can't comment on the food, but the kids wanted to go in the sweet shop at the end of the day and well.. took a life time and £30 later to get them out haha! Also plenty of ice cream and much needed coffee stalls! Staff very friendly and helpful, plenty of toilets around. I very much recommend to all families!

Alittle nervous after reading negative reviews. But I had such a great day!! Prices much cheaper than merlin theme parks , not overly fancy but clean and just what you need for a nice day out. Smallish theme park, all rides next ti each other which is great don't have to walk around too much to get to the next ride, it was a Saturday in summer holidays and not much ques apart from the log flume. Nice grass areas and benches to have lunch, few soft plays dotted around. And most importantly FREE PARKING!!
My daughter went on a total of 10 rides.

If you want to waste your whole day queueing then this is the place to go to. Thank god we paid very little due to the discounts we got otherwise I would have walked out and asked for refund honestly takes 30min to 1h of queueing per ride we just gave up in the end. The 2 stars above are purely because on the day we went they decided to extend opening time by 1h which gave us the chance to go on few more rides otherwise 1 star is too much for this place nonetheless I do not recommend this place Of course people are still going to come here specially the British because they love paying money to queue but for me I’m OUT PERMANENTLY. Worst thing is a live walking distance from it so every time I go past it I’ll think about the 5h of my life I wasted queueing here which I’ll never get back and that hurts more than the money I spend. ADIOS

Convenient to visit as I live only 10 miles away,place looks like it could do with a lick of paint and a bit of a spruce up but that should have been done over the winter months when they were closed.Disappointed with digger land as most of the diggers and cranes were not in moveable working order and crazy golf also. Good time of the year to visit as still pretty quiet so hardly any queues and when there was it would be 5 minutes at the most.The only thing I brought was a cup of tea inside the park £2.75! Hot dogs £6.95(way too expensive) slush puppies £2.50. Plenty of seating and picnic tables and restaurants.

We visited here and stayed for the night in a pirate cabin. As we booked for the night we got entry to the park for two days. Price was around £350 for five of us. The cabin was clean and had a microwave and fridge but no television. Wifi was supposed to reach the area we stayed in but it never did, despite best efforts.
The park is probably (in our view) best suited to younger children. Our 11 year old and 14 year old didn't have much to go on yet the four year old had stacks to choose from. So definitely would recommend for a younger family.
The lines for food in the park went on for about an hour so either get food earlier than you normally would or bring your own!
Staff all seemed very friendly. I would take the time to return with my youngest.

We took our son for his 2nd birthday and his siblings aged 13 and friend aged 10, they all had a fantastic day. All of them had lots of fun but I would say that it is best suited to children 3-11 the most. They did all have a great time though.

We did an overnight stay at Lodge.
Lodge: Loved the surroundings, the atmosphere, the cabin. Went with a friend and his family so thought when booking we'd be side by side but this wasn't the case. However, we were three cabins away so wasn't too bad. Our main issue was the toilet/shower which we had to get the maintenance man in. We felt disgusted using the toilet/shower after seeing the shower drain overflow with previous mess (dirt, hair) but soldiered on as it was only for a night. The cabin itself was nice and comfortable with TV, fridge, microwave, kettle and spacious fir 6 of us. Note, it was advertised as having space for 6 using fold out sofa which we didn't use due to the hassle.
Gullivers Land Theme Park: Having a 12 yr old autistic child, a 13 yr old and 5 yr old, loved it. Plenty of rides and things for kids to do. It wasn't overcrowded and the SEN provision was amazing. Staff were engaging and supportive with those with SEN/Disability access passes. Food wasn't great and quite expensive but you expect this.
Dinosaur Land: Kids loved it. They were intrigued with the Dinosaurs, enjoyed the few rides there, loved the reptile section (lizards, snakes, tarantula's), the climbing wall and also - the cuddle corner where they held the rabbits and also saw the sheep, cows, lama, pony's etc.
Overall - very enjoyable experiance and would defo recommend.

Caldecotte Lake is a serene location that offers visitors an opportunity to unwind and take in nature's beauty. This lake is one of many in the area that provides a scenic route for long walks or leisurely bike rides. The tranquil setting is perfect for picnics, birdwatching and soaking up some sunshine. Although the restaurant hasn't been tried yet, Caldecotte Lake has much to offer those looking to escape from their busy lives and enjoy some relaxation time outdoors.
Is a great place to have a long walk after a busy day . I’m not try the restaurant yet.

Alders Farm Fishery is a serene and picturesque location that offers a shooting range as well as fishing activities. The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing tea and coffee while explaining the simple processes of gun handling and fishing.

Went here last minute and was not dissapointed. We were greeted and offered drinks followed by a demonstration as to what to do.
All this was done in a professional timely manner and we were made to feel welcomed. We were then left to shoot numerous targets with the occasional checking in if we were okay. I didn't fell rushed and felt very relaxed this added to my experience.
The facilities were ample spacious and the set up excellent. Thank you to Micheal and his wife we will be back as a group.

Thank you!
(And if you're left handed no worries, they can adjust your booth to either side)

Great fishery and tackle shop Son caught first ever fish
However, missed the sign on entrance saying closed at dusk. It was the first time there
Most people would not assume that means a hidden iron gate will pull out and lock you in the property if you are slightly late
Emailed to ask about this but received no reply. We were not told about the gate when buying the ticket in the tackle shop
We were locked behind a gate in the middle of nowhere at 6:25 checked dusk is at 6pm right now and you would have thought they would have, noticed my car was still in the car park. When drove past the building we got tickets from there were no lights on.
A car eventually turned up going back in and someone claiming to be 'a resident' not the owner let us out.
Perhaps would have just put it down to experience and been the butt of my wife's jokes but not with an 8 year old with me and no reply

Planet Ice Milton Keynes is a popular destination for friends and family to enjoy ice skating. Novice skaters are encouraged to hold onto the side of the rink for safety, with helpful staff on hand to provide assistance. While the slippery surface can be challenging, visitors are advised to take precautions when falling in order to avoid injury. It is recommended that tickets be pre-booked in advance in order to avoid disappointment at the rink's entrance.

Our recent visit to Planet Ice for a birthday party was a cool experience, to say the least!
The kids had an absolute blast, and it was great to see their smiles and excitement throughout. The staff at Planet Ice delivered excellent customer service, which made the whole event even more enjoyable.
Now, let's talk about the food. They have Papa John's pizza available, which was a hit with both kids and adults alike. It's always a win when you can grab some tasty pizza during a fun outing.
However, there was one minor hiccup in our adventure – parking. Finding a spot can be a bit of a challenge, and we ended up paying £4 for 2 hours of parking. Fingers crossed we don't get a ticket!
Just a quick update: after paying for parking, we still received a parking penalty. It's odd that they don't offer mobile pay parking; instead, you must receive your ticket from a parking machine or make a phone payment. I saw people use the 3 hour free parking at Morrison.

The best place to have fun with friends and family. For beginners like me stay safe by holding the grill in the side. There are people to help you. I was falling down for around 10times and all the time the helping guys where supporting me, thanks for that emergency handlers planet I’ve team.
I would really suggest you people to go there and have fun with the slippery floor 😅. But be safe when you are falling down don’t fall straight backwards try to avoid it.
Make sure you prebook the tickets so you don’t need to get disappointed at the station.
Ok friends thanks for watching my review go to planet ice and have fun 🤗. Stay safe

A warning to any person going to Planet Ice and seeing the car park located next to it to drop off or pick up someone - DO NOT ENTER THE CAR PARK. Your number plate is automatically recorded by camera and you will likely be fined (£100) if you there more than a few minutes. Whether or not there is the grace period of 10 minutes is unclear as it is only a requirement for council run car parks and this is privately run by Premier Park. Planet Ice really needs to sort the parking situation out with Premier Park. I am not the first person to complain about it. The parking may not be run by Planet Ice but they should clearly see that it is a part of being able to use Planet Ice and definitely affects their customer's experience of Planet Ice. The current situation is a very good way for them to lose customers.

Terrible when they charge you £100 parking ticket despite you paying £2.00 for 2 hours parking covering period there. Dont risk it. Not worth it.

Tickets prices are not too expensive including hiring a skates.
Polite staff, 2 separate ice sections for little ones and older.

After skating you can enjoy pizza from Papa Johns. Recommend to anyone who wants to go ice skating with family and friends.

Car park at the front with MyRingGo app (£5.20ish for the day). Inside food place. The skates/gloves/socks can also be rented for a small extra fee. Best to purchase in advance as can save you around 10%. The time is not limited, and the tickets can be used over the full timetable. We do recommend them (the children want a membership now 😍)

Loved this place had a blast first time ice skating and I rented out some skates fairly easy. Big enough space to skate in and was fairly priced also would definitely be coming back. Only thing is was a struggle to park due to location.

Really enjoyed family time here, would definitely go again, worth taking some change with you for lockers and vending machines
