I'm going to make two bold statements about this place. Number one is that it is awesome and number…read moretwo is that it is one of the best places I've been to in Birmingham for laser quest. For those of you who don't know, laser quest is a multiplayer game where two or more teams shoot each other with non harmful lasers to win. The team that has been shot the least wins. Believe me it's a lot more fun that it sounds because the game uses tactics and involves a good amount of psychical work. This Quaser Elite is like a mini maze with different levels. They also supply the equipment and the friendly staff talk you through everything you need to know about the game as well as the health and safety aspects. The prices a good too and depend on how many games you want to play. I've been here with friends and always found it to be great fun so I can imagine it's great for families too. I wish the games lasted longer and the area was bigger though.

The Raceway provide a great indoor track, split across two levels - one of the best I have driven…read moreon! Unlike some tracks, there is a good combination of fast sections where it's a test of nerve to hit the corners without lifting of the throttle and tight bends which need to be negotiated with some more precision! What makes it even better is that unlike the lower level, which has a predictable, grippy concrete surface, the upper level uses a polished wooden surface! This leads to lots of sliding... and a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the great track, one of the longest indoor tracks in the UK, and large number of drivers allowed on track does mean that there is a lot of time on the yellow light (where you can only drive at walking pace :/) as it takes the race marshals some time to locate and clear any 'incidents'. Additionally, the "brand new karts" advertised on their website, have definitely seen some action and are now looking worse for wear! Despite a few niggles, the great track manages to makes up for these, and with a little more kart maintenance and a few more marshals to clear the incidents this would easily have been a 5* review!

So the first thing I need to say is that I had a hilarious evening at The Raceway. It is always…read morefunny watching other people race (and more importantly crash!). So if I was rating the evening instead of the venue then it would be a straight up 4. However I have a few gripes that I feel I need to get off my chest. Firstly, it's never nice to be told "we don't have space for your group" (9 people) when I was explicitly told by Customer Service not to bother booking for the Arrive & Drive event. Thankfully after a bit of a fuss we were told "we'll fit you in". So what ensued was a 90 minute wait watching others drive (which was hilarious!). Finally it was our turn to race and after the obligatory safety brief video; we were out in the pits. Now the Raceway's website states "BRAND NEW KARTS!!!" but I guess that might have been true in the mid -00s as the Karts we were in looked to have had a fair few miles under their belt. The track is fantastic, a great mix of slow, windy corners and some lovely sweeping corners which can be taken flat-out if you dare! One thing to say about the racing is that the marshaling was lackadaisical at best. I lapped one friend twice whilst he was stuck in the barriers before a marshal spotted him. Perhaps a walkie-talkie system between the marshals would improve communication instead of them shouting above the engines. So all in all, a great evening and a great facility but some definite points of improvement. Will I go back? Certainly!

Tenpin is at cross point in Coventry, near pizza hut and the shocase cinema…read more This bowling alley has 34 lanes, with upto 6 people per lane. They also have a bar at the far left end of the place. Next to that is the quazar, which is a run a round laser tag game, where crystal maze once was. If you go at the weekend you cannot book, but instead queue to get a lane. Once booked in you get your super trendy bowling shoes one, and someone always gets the velcro trainers, NICE!. From here its off to the lane and time to use the oh so easy peasy name entering machine, or not! They somehow make this the challenge sometimes they work and its easy other times they dont and you have to get someone to enter names from the desk. Then there is the bumpers which are now supposed to be registered to each player. So if someone wnats them up or down they will change automatically for the specific person. Which is very clever. Prices are as steep as ever, £10.50 for two games, but if there are enough of you you can get it cheaper. So for a laugh and good fun bowling is defo the place to be at!
