Absolutely fantastic airside tour seeing the XH558 Vulcan in all her beauty! Me and my partner stayed at the Ramada hotel across the road from the airport where we met the crew in the reception after breakfast for the briefing. Cannot fault the friendly staff!! After tea and biscuits, we boarded a comfortable warm coach and set off to the aircraft. Whilst there we were able to freely roam, take lots of pictures, go inside the cockpit, see the bomb-bay doors open and were surrounded by lots of friendly staff who were full of interesting information and facts about the aircraft! 10/10 cannot fault a single thing with the experience. Me & Steve are even going to look into coming to one of the taxi run days in the near future ???? would highly recommend!!!

Hi and Welcome to NIXIM Motorsim Ever wondered what it feels like to sit on a start line in a fast powerful sports car?, with all the fast powerful cars around you being driven by friends or family. I can tell you that by the time you get to the start line you have already practiced together and you know the car and the track and the strength of the opposition, it can be pretty intense when the lights go green. We have ten of the best racing simulators available in the UK, all linked together to provide a full on competitive experience in a first class racing environment including Race Control to oversee proceedings. You can race most types of car on a selection of tracks in a safe warm comfortable brand new purpose built facility, where else can children parents, and grandparents race safely together perhaps even with food and drink. A perfect setting for any party or corporate occasion. We recommend a two hour racing session for maximum experience. 90 minutes if all drivers are 11 or under. For your occasion we have 2-3 and 4 hour party packs for up to 20 drivers.

This is the third room we have done now, previously as just two of us and this time as a five. The three rooms we have done are very well thought through and the staff are really friendly. You get two hints if you need them (we did) but the buzz you get when you escape is awesome. Great fun for the family or friends or maybe even a work team building session. Can’t wait to do another room soon.

Heard about this company before just not got around to visiting till yesterday and I'm so glad we did. Originally booked as a treat for the children but I honestly think me and my partner loved the experience just as much if not more .. we had an encounter with the meerkats . Great to be so close and personal able to stroke and touch them to see each little meerkat and their own personally characteristics. Staff are lovely everything from booking to being there ran smoothly happy to answer any questions and so helpful . Have a lovely young and very knowledgeable son who shared many interesting facts about the meerkats and informed us of all the other amazing animals that are available to have and encounter experience with too .. loved it so much so already discussing information for a birthday party! Took many amazing photos videos added my favourite to this review as it makes me laugh soo much each time . Would deffinatly recommend ! Can tell the animals are very well looked after and are more apart of their famliy too then just an unusual pet . Thank you x

I came here with my mum on the 26th August (bank holiday) and when we arrived there was a long queue as you would expect on a bank holiday! They are very organised getting people in! When we got in we went to see the lions first (I brought my camera with me and took lots of pictures of all the animals????) we saw 2 of the 9 lions but I don’t blame them for staying out of the sun! They were so cute! There is a information board telling you about the lions! After this we saw the polar bears and tigers! Then we went to get lunch! We went to ¡Caramba! And we got 2 kids meals I got the chicken nugget meal and my mum got the vegan nugget meal, both were served with potato wedges and a drink of your choice! They were very nice!! After lunch we saw the lemurs, wallaby’s , painted dogs, baboons etc and all of which were adorable!! :) There is lots of things to see and do here and I will definitely be returning and I would recommend to any animal lovers, like myself!!???????? (my photos won’t upload :( so here is the one photo I took on my phone of the camels ???? but they were adorable!)
