Brilliant place! Having been there 5 years ago and having a great day out for a birthday we did wonder if it would still live up to our memory of it after the toll of the last 2 years, but it actually managed to exceed it. We came back again for more go-karting to celebrate a birthday and from start to finish we received exceptional service, as if we were family to them. Karen in the office was so kind and thoughtful and couldn't have done more for us to make it a special, memorable family day out. They really went above and beyond for all members of the family and we had a brilliant time. Definitely recommend for a fun family day out! Incredible customer service and genuinely nice people.

Had a family karting session yesterday & we absolutely loved it. Such good fun & the staff were absolutely brilliant. 3 out of the 4 of us, including 12 & 14 year old girls, had never been karting before but the guy explained everything perfectly so we were all at ease. The time flew, but hey, time flies when you’re having fun. Would love to go back.

Our group (5 adults and 7 children ages 3-14)had the pleasure of visiting Zone last week. Needless to say they catered for every age group in one site. We enjoyed, Go Karting, Bowling and soft play as well as the delicious but nessasary fresh coffee for the adults!
This was my first time to visit a facility like this since the lockdown and i was very impressed and reassured of the new protocols and safety measures the staff delivered. its clear by all the new equipment, new suits, helmets and disposable balaclava that they have spared no expense in upgrading the facility to take account of the new covid measures.
What made this place different to anywhere else I've visited since Covid was the genuineness of the personal service we received from the staff and particularly the owner (sorry i can't recall her name). Its clear from the face-lift and freshness of the facility that they not only invested hard work and energy into reopening. While they cannot facilitate the numbers and bookings they once enjoyed due to the restrictions on numbers, i truly hope they day will again some day.
Each person was required to sanitise and complete form on entry. There were sanitisation points everywhere i looks and a one way system and the bowling balls were all sanitised in front of us before we began the game. While there was extra paperwork to complete it didn't take away from the experience and we felt reassured and safe.
Our visit reminded me why its so important to support small businesses and their hard work. We had a ball, everyone had smiling faces as we left which can be difficult to satisfy when you have kids in our age range. They are already talking about when we are going back. We dont live nearby and were on Staycation in the Ancient East but will definitely drive 1hr to enjoy the fun again. #makememories thanks to Zone.

Went first week in August 2020 with a group of 4 families. I was so impressed with how clean and well managed the place was. Its clear to see that they followed Covid Guidelines and made it both safe and extremely fun! The karting was super, great (fast) karts and all suits and helmets were spotless, if not brand new! We also availed of the bowling alley which was great fun and enjoyed some delicious coffees upon leaving. Already planning our next trip back to The Zone!

Excellent facilities and all of the staff were so welcoming and genuinely friendly. The karting was awesome, my son and I can’t wait to go back and my wife and daughter loved the bowling, laser maze and shooting simulator. So impressed with our time there. Thanks very much for a memorable day!

I had my daughter's birthday in The Zone, and kids loved it. Prices are reasonable and the choice of the activities are great for kids from about 6 and up. The downside in my opinion, the place needs a good clean up and renovation. The door handle from the room we had the party was falling off, the archery room was open and kids could walk in and out any time, which I think could be dangerous.

For the third time, I brought my 3 kids to go karting at the Zone. From check in to finish they were very friendly and professional. The kids had a ball and loved the thrill of the track to themselves and the family competition. I opted for 15 minutes and for kids it’s plenty. At €45, it’s enough, €1 per minute. I’d gladly bring them back, only the cost restricts us going more often.

Had karting and bowling party today for my daughters 11th Birthday, had great time, staff lovely friendly etc only just one tiny criticism the talk before the karting could be toned down to cater for kids who are nervous no need for some of the things that were said however don’t want to take away from the fact he was a nice guy. Food and service was good upstairs and we had a large room for the food / cake kids were able to play some games with disco lights and music and we were left to enjoy not rushed out of the place which was refreshing would definitely return here and recommend to others.

Hi I'd like to book this for my son's 8th birthday party but it seems quite expensive for only 20 minutes of Kart? also how long can the kids stay in the Maze if we choose this option?
Many thanks,
Beatrice

They are a good 20mins on track but the time they get suited booted & get helmets on & carts to fit them. Then they have there race time chart winners podium photo opportunity & if you go for the food there is more them enough to fill them all & more. They will want to maths some of the next race too. hope this was a help?

Hi I was just wondering if the Zone was suitable for younger children twins of 7 and a 9 year old looks great but unsure if it would be suitable for their ages. Thanks in advance.
