Trapped Escape Rooms

Reviewed By jeremyn208 - Peterborough, United Kingdom

Our first escape room in many months, and we were proud to be the first customers to walk through the door on their first day of opening since lockdown. A friendly welcome greeted us with excellent consideration to Covid precautions throughout. We tackled 'The Butcher' room and despite being an experienced group with 15 or so other escape rooms under our belts we still found this room fairly challenging, only escaping with seconds to spare! Thrilling to see the last few minutes ticking away on the countdown timer and such a buzz escaping in the nick of time! Plenty of thinking needed to solve puzzles plus physical clues to find. Great fun though and the theming was excellent. We booked an early slot on a weekday so it was good value too. Recommended to all and we would certainly visit again for the other rooms if we're holidaying in the area again.

Popped in out of interest on the Saturday. Friendly staff gave us a tour. So impressed returned for sessions the following day. Kids (6 and 8) had first real experience climbing. They did the Mice session and had a fantastic time. The young lad taking the session was great. The kids really warmed to him and threw themselves into it. I had a play bouldering which was really fun and challenging. Really helpful, friendly staff. Good feel about the place. Well run and fun. Highly recommended.

JDR Karting

A go karting track and laser tag venue

Reviewed By Number1Jimothy

I was looking for an activity for me and my daughter while holidaying in the Cotswolds and stumbled across JDR karting while Googling. We headed off for a 2 x 15 minute race, and a 15 minute Segway experience both at a reasonable price. They appear to be on a industrial unit with loss of parking out the back, it’s all clearly signed. Hygiene was great, they had hand sanitiser in reception and various points throughout. We had to buy a hygiene pack which consisted of quality gloves and balaclava (for the helmet) and 1 week later we are still Covid free so their practices must work! After watching a briefing DVD we got kitted up and hit the track. We then had two fantastic 15 minute races with my daughter absolutely annihilate me by lapping me 4 times each race (I must have had a slower kart)! Having never been on a indoor track all I can say it was fantastic with tight and fast corners and named sides. We then went on a Segways on a mini kids karting track where the staff member placed cones and obstacle for us to ride around. I would highly recommend JDR Karting to anyone and will defiantly return if I’m back in that neck of the woods again’

Gloucester Ski & Snowboard Centre

Reviewed By RochelleB551

Children (6 and 8) had first ever ski lesson with Ian last week. They were really nervous to begin with and didn't even want to go in but Ian was brilliant and gave them so much confidence. I've rarely seen them grin so much. They are desperate to go again. He balanced their knowledge and progression with fun, games and interest. Couldn't ask for more. OK - it's not a sparkling slope but we had a great time. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. There were some fabulous skiers on the slope at the time from of a ski team which inspired my two no end. We'll definitely go back. They'll still teach when it's raining so it's all about the kit.
