Crawley Reviews

Absolutely great. I'm scared of heights, but this place was just the thrill I needed. I would definitely do it again at another site for the extra thrills.

Great experience, the kids absolutely loved it and were able to enjoy every part of it. The staff were so helpful helping my 5 year old when he lost some confidence and gave tips to how he could get across easier. Really happy and would definitely go again

Absolutely loved it. As with the other courses I've done, I didn't want this to end. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. There was a little thunderstorm, so it rained a bit but, it added to the enjoyment. Highly recommend visiting if you're a thrill seeker.
