Waterworld 2000 is the best indoor water funpark in the UK. For a big kid like me, it's ideally…read moreplaced about 30 minutes drive away from Alton Towers and I've done a few fun trips to enjoy both attractions on one visit. Waterworld is located in Festival Park, a collection of leisure facilities just off the A500 ring road around Stoke-on-Trent. Fortunately, the dreadful roadworks on the A500 are gradually getting better. I aim to visit out of school holidays and so parking and overcroading hasn't been a problem but I can imagine the waterpark becoming very busy at peak periods. There is a big changing room - you'll need a 50p piece for the lockers (non refundable). There's an air of excitement as you smell the chlorine and hear the screams as you walk up the ramp to the waterpark area. There is a medium sized wavepool and a klaxon signals the start of the waves every 20 minutes. There is also another pool for swimming, splashing and which houses the assault course where you can try to get across the floasting islands. However, the multi-coloured flumes that snake round the park above your head are the main draw for me. There are a couple of twisty flumes where you can pick up quite a lot of speed if you lie down absolutely flat. There is a straight 4 lane slide where you can race your friends and family. I also enjoy the Space Bowl where a short slide ejects you into what looks like a giant toilet bowl, which you gradually circle and eventually plop out (or are flushed out) of the hole at the bottom into a pool! Nucleus was the first water-roller-coaster ride in the UK, where you ride a circuit on a raft and water jets propel you uphill as well as sliding downhill. Another great fun experience are the rapids where powereful water jets propel you round and round a loop - it's really hard to escape once you're in the vortex and there's a sense of camaradrie as swimmers help each other escape at the crucial point near the entrance to the ride. A great lesson on the power of water. There's a cafe serving some light meals and snacks. Near to Waterworld, you'll find other entertainment options including a Wedgewood outlet, cinema, bowling alley and some eating options.

Wrexham Waterworld has a lot of facilities packed into a relatively small building…read more It has one main pool, a 'baby' pool, and a toddler/younger pool. The swimming area also consists of a viewers seating area, a slide, and a 'rapids' area. Swimming lessons are also available, as well as options such as 'ladies only' night. Waterworld also has a fully-equipped gym with changing rooms and showering facilities. The gym currently uses the TechnoGym products, and all are in great condition. The gym isn't huge, but caters for everybody, and all staff are helpful and friendly. There is also a studio where exercise classes take place. Classes are very varied, from yoga to dance, and all instructors are friendly and helpful. Something to suit all tastes. When not exercising, Waterworld also have a cafe just inside at the reception area. This is a great local facility, and if the changing rooms were a little more loved, updated, cleaner, and tidier, I would have no hesitation to give Waterworld 5 out of 5.

This is an outdoor swimming pool with the most stunning views. There are shady seated viewing…read moreareas, and grassy sunny areas. The pool is heated and there are good changing rooms with baby change facilities. It is a bit pricey at £4.40 but season tickets are avaliable. You should check the timetable as some times are only for season ticket holders, and it gets very busy the rest of the time.

Have been a member here for around 4 years and it is within a convenient drive of where I live…read more The gym itself is £60 p/m for peak and £40 for off peak. For most people off-peak is the best option, it covers you for everyday at all times except 7-9 am and 4.30-7pm (approx). Big car park. The gym was refurbished last year and replaced with new equipment, has a two floors, very spacious. Big enough swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, tanning, massage, ladies extras e.g hair, beauty,creche etc. Esporta also has a large restaurant/bar area wtih service throughout the day up to 10pm, Funny thing though in the central service bar during the day, there are always lots of nice pastries and cakes on display! after a hard work out thats just temptation or Customer Retention may be!!

This 2 star rating is a real shame but I feel short changed after coming here…read more The entrance looks so exciting and brilliant and it looks like you have the course to yourselves. How wrong could we be! You end queing endlessly for holes, which aren't particularly hard or exciting. Its less adventure course and more boring course than anything. We didn't come with a voucher, after finding one afterwards which annoyed me as I forked out £16 to play some boring golf and queue. Make the course harder/bigger/ more interesting and less queuing please! Unfortunately wouldn't come here again:(

This is actually really good fun…read more Recently opened in The Trafford Centre, Paradise Island is an indoor crazy golf centre! Featuring two different courses, this is a fun place to take the kids but also good fun for a staff night out as we found out when we wandered along to it for a fun evening! It's not dead expensive (£7 per adult, £5 per child) and you get a discount if you're in a group. The courses are set out really well, some of the holes are quite challenging and it can get quite embarrassing when you're on your 15th shot and there's a queue of six other groups behind you...was that just me?! Oh right...! The novelty theme is very well played out throughout the entire place and the decor is fantastic. It's the sort of place you can kinda of go to with anyone, dads would love it, kids love it, it's a good place to go for a date (no really it is!) and we had a right laugh when I went with work! It's funny to see how competitive men get whilst playing...hehehe!
