Bought my 15 year old son a cd experience for Christmas, he’s had a fantastic day. The staff very helpful and friendly. I’m sure we’ll be back soon. Thank you 😊

My child enjoyed the fact they made a cd, however the customer relations are non existent. Don't answer the phone, don't answer the door, when you finally get in you are met with a member of staff who really doesn't want to be there. Bit of enthusiasm wouldn't go a miss, a smile, a bit of cheer? Considering this place caters for kids birthday parties perhaps some friendly hosts are required.

My daughter had her 9th birthday party here in January and had a wonderful time. Dressing up, singing and a photo shoot... A perfect venue with professional and attentive staff. Fantastic value.
