What to do and see in Cotswolds, England: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers

December 24, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Cotswold Archery

A dedicated archery range for all archers to find the archer from within. A wide range of bows to use and shoot with Expert tuition always on hand, friendly atmosphere within an area of outstanding natural beauty. Just a short walk away from good facilities such as bathrooms and garden terrace cafe. Dog friendly, but must remain on the lead.

We had such a lovely day for my partner's birthday, it was great to get to use different types of bows and Neil and Jenny were so friendly and informative. I highly recommend this for a fun day out.

My son got a lesson as a generous birthday present from a family friend, and I was so jealous I booked one for myself the same day! Christina was our instructor, and helped me choose a "beginner" route from Glasgow to Belfast. I did the taxiing, the takeoff, the approach to Belfast and the landing, all in 45 minutes including a very thorough briefing. My son was less choosy (and more cheeky!) so Christina recommended a more "interesting" route - Innsbruck to Salzburg. As you can see in the pictures that meant a mountain to avoid on takeoff and a valley to fly through for the landing. Exciting and we did have to make one go-around but my son nailed the landing and declared it was "more fun than [he] expected it would be".

Zombie Shooting

Reviewed By Justin74London - London, United Kingdom

We had a great time shooting Zombies on the back of a trailer! This is a great activity with teenagers. You fire paint pellets at zombie cut outs concealed in the forest, and then score the best shots on your second round. This is a great way to spend an hour, and make part of an action packed day. Thank you to the helpful & enthusiastic staff running this activity. We will be back.

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.

Rugrats and Half Pints Cirencester

Reviewed By MrsEtheridge

We have just visited since reopening due to Covid. Booking process easy. Temperature taken on arrival before entering the building, very easy to socially distance due to reduced capacity and plenty of tables to choose from. Hand sanitizer available on entrance and at the entrance to all play areas. Children seen using the hand sanitizer regularly. The play areas were clean and you can see that clear effort has been made. Sanitising wipes available for the baby changing units so you could clean before changing your little ones. We used the cafe, food hot and fresh and easy to order. The play areas are excellent, separate areas depending an age/ability, trampoline area, and go kart area by far the best soft play we have been too and a lot fun had by our little one!!
