What it’s like
One car park, five different ways to spend a few hours: bowling, climbing, crazy golf, a cinema and an arcade.
This is less a single attraction and more a whole afternoon under one roof. There's bowling at Hollywood Bowl, a climbing academy at Rock Up for the kids who never sit still, crazy golf at Mr Mulligans, an ODEON for when everyone's legs give out, and an arcade with the usual bank of video games. You could easily do two of these back to back before anyone gets bored, which is handy if the weather's grim and you need somewhere indoors that isn't just a soft play.
The climbing at Rock Up is probably the one to save for last, since it's the most physical of the lot and the sort of thing that tires a kid out properly rather than just keeping them occupied. Bowling and crazy golf are the easier ones to slot in around a meal, and with a café, restaurant and on site food all listed, you're not stuck hunting for somewhere to eat between activities.
Parking is genuinely sorted here. Over 1,300 spaces and a ticketless number plate system, so there's no faff with tickets or barriers, you just park and go. It's open daily.
