Adventure reef excellent child’s experience and good value for money, with food prices nice and fair. A Well Done Barnsley

We went to the new Adventure Reef play area today. Was very clean and the staff were friendly. The sensory room was very much enjoyed by my son! One thing I would mention is it was very chaotic with a lot of older children running around and not really paying attention to their surroundings in the baby area and sensory room. I felt quite anxious when two boys came charging over pushing one another near my 11 month old. I had to move him away from the soft play which was intended for his age. Another incident was an older boy around 10 years old was bouncing a ball really hard that came straight for my friend’s baby in his pram at force. Luckily the child stopped it before it hit the pram, but again, it was a little daunting seeing a ball charge towards a sleeping baby. I appreciate it’s the first day and it’s school holidays but I would recommend either having a warden to keep an eye on children in the play area whilst parents sit and have a chat. Or make parents aware that they are responsible for their child and must keep an eye on them to ensure everyone’s safety. Big or little children. I will definitely come back, just when it’s a little quieter so I know there’s more control over children in the baby areas and sensory room.

Brilliant for swimming has a lovely clean cafe and a nice size party room

One of the best Sunday lunches I have had. Highly recommended. 👍

I think this is a fab family outing for swimming. I visited this weekend, having not been for a while, theyve added a cafe at the front and refurbishing the bowling alley. The disappointing part of this swimming centre is the lack of showers (under 10), lack of shower cubicles, the fact the showers are on such a short timer which makes it hard for young children and that there are only 4(?) hand driers to use to dry hair for the whole place.

With the money poured in for the refurbs its a shame they havent improved the washing facilities.

Son and husband went swimming whilst I read and scrolled and watching them. Nice place.
