Colchester Leisure world is located on cowdray avenue which has large car park but at times you may…read morehave to park near the bowling alley to get a space but it's worth it for the exercise I suppose It not only has three excellent swimming pools - one with traditional lanes for fitness, a leisure pool and a training pool - but it also has a wide range of facilities for other sports ( e.g. badminton, squash, table tennis) For adults there are also regular classes in aerobics, When children are learning to swim then apart from having fun in the leisure pool it is also possible to use the teaching pool for more formal swimming practice, or for them to take lessons which run regularly. There are swim sessions for parents and toddlers, as well as sessions for gym and dance and drama. Children can enrol for trampolining, football skills, aquafun, gymnastics, etc. During holidays and Half Terms there are also holiday schemes for children. One thing which does make me laugh is the amount of people who after working out in the gym or pools go to the Mcdonalds next door.

We took our Grandkids here and they had a great time!! Also,…read moreI was very impressed with the Crew who were watching the kids on the trampolines etc. I do want to mention the inconvenience that there was no free wifi available for us. In this day and age?? (We couldn't use our data.) This meant we couldn't use the QR code on the table to order our food or give a review while we were there as requested. Also, just wondering about the slanted counter where we sat to watch the Grandkids?? I had asked the employee at the Cafe and she didn't know why and she was also was the one who told us that there was no free wifi available for us.

The process of booking online was very simple and made it a faster process when checking in. If it is your first time you have to watch a short two minute safety video, it's animated which makes it easier to watch and will catch the attention of the younger ages. They offer free locker service which is a huge plus, if you have piercings they provide the tape so that you don't risk then being ripped out, also there is at least 1 staff member on every section of Jump street. Fully stocked with many vending machines. They also have an upstairs cafè where non jumpers can spectate with a view of the whole venue. Jump street is a great place to visit and provides for a fun and entertaining day, the hour sessions didn't seem enough at the time but one single session is enough. The only negative comment I would have to say about Jump street is that a 1 hour session doesn't seem long enough for the cost of £10.

There is a big free car park, apart from days when they have special events when you do have to pay for the car park. Next to the entrance is some portacabin toilets and a little shop that sells drinks, ice creams and some souvenirs. The grounds themselves are massive and can easily take you a few hours to walk around.
