If you like a challenge this place is a must. My daughter recently had her 7th birthday party here,…read moreshe had been so excited after spending many hours viewing from the ice bowls cafe and it certainly didn't disappoint. Clip 'N Climb is located inside Dundonald Ice Bowl complex. As you enter the building take a left into the ice rink and they have their own reception just in front of you. Once you have your details confirmed you are brought into a training room where you undergo thorough training and have your harness fitted for the climbing walls. This was quite a long process so for younger kids can be a bit boring but it is a must for safety and as a parent and in charge of others kids I wasn't complaining. Once this is complete the group is led through secure doors into the climbing arena and the fun begins. You get an hour to try as many of the walls as you like, there must be at least 20 each one being different and you can time yourself for the serious climbers. There are plenty of staff to assist with hooking the harnesses on for the abseil down and adults are allowed to accompany kids in to assist as well but must wear like a high via jacket. For the very brave there are a few extra activities including 'the leap of faith' or 'the drop slide' but these come at an extra cost. Unfortunately I didn't get to participate this time as I was pregnant but I will definitely be back when able as I love a challenge. Even though i wasn't able to take part I was able to spectate from a very comfortable balcony viewing area which had lovely comfy sofas and along with a coffee from their own coffee bar it wasn't a boring wait. This was a birthday to remember for my daughter and the feed back from her friends parents was that everyone had a ball. We will be back.....

Dundonald International Ice Bowl is split in to four elements, there's obviously the ice rink, clip…read moreand climb, the infamous Indiana Land and 'xtreme bowling' - this review is primarily for 'xtreme bowling'. Firstly a note on the centre as a whole - with lots of attractive indoor facilities it's a fantastic place to take kids (I was with my nephews) and there's loads for them to do and for you to spend your money on. In my opinion the reception area could do with a revamp, no matter how good the facilities are it's your first impressions that count. Xtreme Bowling is like normal bowling but coupled with UV lights and loud top 40 chart music - these two added elements make it feel more like an under 18's disco. There are 20 lanes although I'd advise booking in advance as when we attended we got given the last lane. It cost's £19.50 for four people (family pass) and I'd say it's well worth the money! There's an in house DJ who comes around giving out spot prizes to kids which is a nice touch. If you're not too good at bowling or have young kids they will put the buffers up and provide you with a ramp so it really is suitable for all ages and abilities. My nephews seemed to enjoy it but they didn't once mention the UV lights which I thought would have been the major talking point. All in all it's a good complex and a nice twist on regular bowling.

Honestly, I find it almost physically painful to go there but my children get so much unadulterated pleasure from it that I grit my teeth and go. They don't see the heaving crowds, the film of god knows what on the top of the water and the toddlers with dangerously loose swim nappies. They don't hear the ear splitting noise or feel the cold blasts of cold air. What they see is the large pool with a Jacuzzi along one side, the water slides and best of all the huge pirate ship in the middle of the second pool, complete with water blasters, slides and rope climbs. When I describe it like that I can see why they love it so much. If your kids can swim, they will just love this place. You could still take non swimmers but you'll have to be very vigilant and follow them the whole time as they can go under the pirate ship where the water is about 4 feet deep. If your kids can be left unattended, you can have a rest in one of the Jacuzzis which are for adults only. Tinies can also enjoy the paddling pool. I am a bit of a germ phobe and thought the changing rooms and toilets could have been cleaner on our last 2 visits. Here's my top tip - if you are going during the summer hols, ring ahead and ask if they have a summer scheme booked in that day. If they say yes, then don't go as it will be unbearably busy. Ask which days there are no summer schemes expected and go then instead. You'll spend a couple of hours there so at about £16 for a family of four, it's pretty good value for money and will totally exhaust the kids for the rest of the day.

Recently updated and using the latest laser technology, the Ozone has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. I remember being about ten and being really excited about going to a party here, only to discover that the backpacks weighed an absolute ton and I wasn't going to have as much fun as I initially thought. These days, the packs are much lighter, much more compact and generally easier to use. The last time I was at the Ozone was about a year ago, and there was a quite a big group of us (fifteen or so). We spilt into two teams (you can play this way or individually), girls vs boys, and had a rundown of the game by one of the staff. After this, we selected our packs, which light up either green, blue or red (red and green it was for this game, in order to identify your team members and avoid shooting them), and has a cartoon / superhero / character name which will be used to record your score at the end. It's pretty funny when the most masculine guy in your group gets Barbie. The game lasts half and hour, and the labyrinth comprises of different levels and hiding places. The aim is to shoot your opponents on the back, front, shoulder or gun (the last option is really easier said than done), without getting shot yourself. The stats all appear at the end of the game, so you can see how your shooting was, and how many times you were shot. It's always amusing to see what place everyone came in, and there are definitely a lot of laughs at this stage. At £4.60 per person per game, it's not a bad price for birthday parties / youth events / general banter. Oooh, when can I go again?

My favorite activities of these is the climbing wall. I never knew how much fun and addictive climbing walls could be. A great way to spend an afternoon and is decently priced.

Another great activity to do here is the laser quest, for young and old I can't think of a funnier thing to do for a birthday or something. Absolutely fantastic.
