Drive Tech, is actually nearer to Chippenham than Bristol but it's only a 20-30 minute drive away…read moreso I thought it may still be useful to pass comment! There are two levels of car driving available - a modern go-kart racing track for juniors and adults, and a more serious off road driving course only available for people holding full driving licenses. One of those things which is great for an expensive birthday / Christmas present or simply a treat of your really into cars and driving. There's a junior Birthday package available for an hour and a half of fun for up to 10 little drivers, it costs £350 so isn't cheap but promises to be an exciting experience all round.

Opens at 10am every day, so best to get there for then to beat the crowds, then you can get a coffee at one of 2 or 3 cafes dotted around, and browse the shops and garden centre.

This is a soft-play area inside Studley Grange Garden Centre.. in amongst all the craft shops…read more Great location although probably difficult for those who have no means of transport other than public as there are no bus routes that way and there is no footpath to get into Studley Grange. This would be no good for the older kids. But for toddlers and smaller children it would be perfect. There are two sections, each section has tables for the adults to sit and relax. There is a security gate to stop any children from escaping. One one side is a little climbing area, a see-saw, a ball-shooter.. and on the other side is a big area for babies and toddlers to play in, plus a big ball-pit with a slide and other fun things. You pay for the time you spend there and it's usually calculated by the half-hour. So if you decided to pop in there for an hour, it will work out cheaper than if you went to Kidz About or Jolly Rogers for an hour. Café facilities are good, they don't do hot food although there is a bigger café in the building that does do hot food. Staff are always lovely and friendly.

My boys attended the Hi5 Kids club in the holidays and were very impressed - they were allowed to use most of the facilities - so it felt like a treat for them not a childcare solution! The ice rink is home to Swindon Wildcats ice hockey team. Another reason to visit!

I have only ever used the Link centre for its swimming pool, which is gala size (25m with 6 lanes)…read moreand is great for swimming training. The changing facilities have a lot to be desired, very small and cramped with not much locker space available. There is an amazing climbing wall available here to all those climbers out there. They also have squash courts and a large ice rink. This is more of a competitive sports centred leisure centre than a fun day out kind of place. If you want to train/exercise, this is the place to be.

We went as a team building exercise and great fun was had by all. There were no glitches with the machines, as can happen. We also had a meal, which was not bad at all.

For teens they have 3 tennis courts (i tink they also give lessons) and a large feild for football. only little let down no toilets, but they do have a hall so would make a great place to hire for a party as you'd have facilitiues to use.
