I recently visited this attraction for the second time. It's a great place to visit to see all of the layouts of which most were working. On the large layout there was a wide range of model trains going around the various circuits. It is a wonderful layout but in certain areas, it's starting to look a bit tired and perhaps could do with a bit of a clean. This Model Railway is situated a small distance from the Car Park which is fine for most people but people who are less abled or struggle with walking would have a problem. I would certainly visit this place again.

Great day out for the kids and adults too. It was our first visit to Clip n Climb Derby. Ace variety of walls to climb, amazing setup. Tyler and Harrison were on hand for the safety briefing, helping with the harness and in the arena throughout, lovely boys, brilliant with the kids. Lovely friendly staff especially Victoria on the reception desk. Real good variety of food, clean premises, all in all a fun day out, already booked in for our next visit. The girls loved it would definitely recommend.
