Dalkeith Edinburgh Reviews

Great day out. Challenging at times but nothing too strenuous. The staff were very friendly, helpful and made sure that we were all safe. None of us went full blown ape, just the acceptable level of ape, sub orangutan.

First of all a massive shout out to the amazing staff you have here. Every single person we interacted with on our visit was fantastic. So friendly, attentive and overall great. Amazing to get this level of customer service. Thank you. Secondly this place is amazing. Me and my family and friends had such an amazing hour or so here. Everything was brilliant. We will definitely be back. My 6 and 9 year old loved their experience and the adults did too.

Really good fun as ever. Staff are all patient, friendly, and set kids' minds at ease. We were behind a slow family, so they let us skip ahead to a free course (on treetop adventure plus), and even though we'd used our hour on the first three courses, they let us onto the 4th. We had a go on the Fort Douglas adventure playground too, and it was tremendous - loads to do!
