This place is a gem to visit with as a family we've visited Apple Jacks a number of times last…read morebeing yesterday for my daughters birthday inviting a few of her friends and there family's and every time we've been its been an absolute pleasure. Not only are there plenty of activities for the kids with the ability for adults to share the fun there staff presence and customer service is excellent with someone always available to assist. Although it's quite a large open place you have a sense of security that the little ones can stray that little further as they are generally within eye shot or failing that yelling distance :) I highly recommend Apple Jacks as a fun family day out as long as the weather is on your side..

I took my partner and her 12 yr old daughter to the scary night event on Oct 31st Oct. This is…read moredefiantly NOT one for younger children. Positive aspects: Very entertaining for adults and older teenagers. Food and drinks available at reasonable cost. Toilet (portacabins) on site but these are in typical portabin hygiene standard. Negative aspects: Narrow, very dark and constricted walk ways would make it impossible for disabled visitors to get around. No warning of stroboscopic lighting being used in very narrow and constricted walk ways in the haunted house is a potential hazard to photo sensitive epileptic suffers. Staff within the haunted house wearing horror character costumes and weapons do not listen to concerned parents as they push and push to scare accompanied young children to tears of terror. Un-illuminated and no signs in car park. Very muddy in parts (but this is a farm) No reply to emailed enquiries post visit. Telephone enquiries are directed to an orange answer machine and get no reply. At £52 for three this is a bit expensive for a low budget in apearance scare. Summary: If you want a potentially hazardous but defiantly scary night I would recommend the event. But I would not recommend the Oct 31st night time event to anybody with mobility difficulties, photo sensitive epilepsy or those with a vulnerable disposition. And no way would I recommend this for young children below 16 years. The event does things in the old fashioned way post health and safety commission and disability legislative requirements. In other words they maximise the scare factor but this may be at the expense of other considerations.

Do you ever wish that you had more trampoline fun in your life? I know I do…read more Jump Nation claim to have Europe's largest indoor trampoline area, which I dismissed initially as marketing garb, until I saw the place with my own eyes. In need of somewhere suitable to take two hyperactive nephews, when I saw a billboard advertising their opening in Trafford Park I searched for them online and booked us in for an hour's slot (it cost £30 for three of us). When I told them we were going I got serious 'cool points' I tell you, it's the current big thing to go here apparently... Though located in an area of distribution warehouses (watch out for the articulated lorries), the centre is easy to find. It doesn't have many parking spaces, but you can leave your car on Textilose Road. They recommend you arrive at least 15 minutes before your time slot so that you can book in and get the rubber gripped non-slip socks (you're required to wear these and can keep them for next time - there's a £1.50 charge for each pair included in the booking fee). Free lockers are next to the ground floor cafe where you can leave your belongings. Once you're ready you're asked to queue up for the safety briefing before being let loose into the 'arena'. I have to say the staff were excellent, professional yet with a sense of fun. Ensue the carnage. Picture dozens of kids and a small number of hapless adults bouncing around on wall to wall trampolines. My only quibble was the number of people allowed in at one time - you really had to keep your full attention so as not to send some unfortunate seven-year-old catapulting into the roof space. As well as the trampolines there's a large foam pit where you can practice your tricks - this was the most popular area and the staff were diligently supervising. I have to say I had way more fun in that (long and exhausting) hour than I expected, but I wish I wasn't wearing jeans as they restrict your movement so I couldn't be as 'gazelle-like' as I wanted! Needless to say they both want their next birthday parties here - they absolutely loved it and didn't realise they were getting exercise: win win! Tip: you're allowed to take photos but only from the side of the arena (no phones or items in your pockets whilst you bounce). Tip: you can bring your own bottled water / soft drinks.

We showed up at noon at what we thought was a schoolday to find the place full of kids, which was a…read morelittle surprising, but it's very well organised and they stagger entry so you don't have so many kids around you're at major risk of kicking one of them in the face by accident (although keep an eye out, because you will if you're not paying attention!). I don't think I saw any other adults here by themselves (which was not surprising, given it was the middle of a weekday) and overall I wouldn't recommend it for a adults-only outing. The trampolines are small and don't have a great deal of bounce - my 6'4 boyfriend got a sore back pretty quickly! There was a massive queue for the foam pit so we didn't try it. It also doesn't have much atmosphere/aesthetic appeal. For kids though, it's good.

The church hall is really big and can hold a lot of people. There is a seating area upstairs that looks onto the stage too. It was a really nice change as a live music venue and my only complaint was that it got extremely hot and uncomfortable. The sound was great and even without any alcohol in the whole building, I had a wonderful time.

Visited this for the owl experience and also got to handle some of the hawks. It was absolutely…read morefantastic and I would re visit this again. The owl experience involves using the gloves to handle a variety of different owls. You can feed and pet them and they look pretty happy in themselves! None of them are aggressive they all appear used to human contact with no evidence of nervousness etc. The Hawks are slightly less personable but still really interesting. Again they can be fed and flown but not petted. There is the option depending on which option you book to take the Hawks into the field and see them in their natural habitat. They quickly become distracted with animals in the surrounding area and it's really interesting to watch how they hunt naturally in the wild. Handler was really knowledgable and managed to get all of the birds to interact well. Definitely worth a visit !

'The children enjoyed it too!'. Fairly reasonably priced , we paid £24 via groupon and thought it was worth that. Food is available in the form of ,chips , burgers, jacket potatoes and pizzas etc; all served in a tented inside area., again reasonable prices. A sucessful attraction that is worth a visit if you have little one's; Although they do have Halloween nights for 'grown ups' in October!

spooky world is absolute rubbish! 4 attractions, at least an hours wait per attraction. You can…read moreonly go on each attraction once. The few actors that we saw were boring, with standard zombie style trick or treat make-up, no rubber or any real effort gone into it. Whilst you're waiting to go into the Slaughterhouse you get to listen to upbeat dance music coming from the huge, brightly lit gazebo in the middle of the park, which isn't used for anything by the way. All I expected was a bit of imagination, maybe some dancing zombies or at least a bit of spooky music and low lights. Spooky World was a massive disappointment with the scariest thing being the slow, poor service to get a drink. When you walk into Slaughterhouse it's pitch black, so you might be expecting something to jump out at you. You'd be wrong. Anyone that you see is well lit and just pants. Apart from a guy running round with a chainsaw this place has no redeeming qualities. Don't waste your money. Buy a creepy mask and go and tell stories in a graveyard. Would be much scarier than this place. p.s if you have a buggy or a wheelchair forget about it. It's so muddy you'll be dragging it around. Visited October 26th 2013
