Despite the fact that I moved away from Christchurch a couple of years ago, I still continue to…read morecome to this Leisure Centre despite being half an hour's drive because it's so good. If you can overlook the fact that the facilities are a bit tired (a major facelift is probably overdue), the range of activities on offer is exceptionally good, and the facilities are well-kept and clean. The trampolining sessions run for both adults and children are an absolute scream - the trampolining coach is very patient and encouraging. The pool attendants are diligent and professional, and swimming teachers kind and patient with the kids. Excellent place.

It's a sort of jungle gym. with slides, tubicular twisty things and lots of balls to land on. There is a section for under a certain age, but otherwise you've got a mix of two year olds to around six. Disastrous. If I ever left my daughter while I sat to chat to another parent, she would sooner or later come out in tears. If I stayed in there with her, I seemed to perpetually need to free her from the grasp of another child or repeat 'Please don't do that to my child' like a record stuck in a groove. Daughter is too big now, and has plenty of interests elsewhere. Oh relief! It is rather expensive, and costly in socks too as they have to remove their shoes - small mercy. A good idea, but needs refining

Great place to entertain the kids whilst adults can relax and have a drink. Older children are kept…read moreaway from very young children and hot drinks are in a seperate area away from the children so its very safe.. Like all indoor play areas can be noisy and children must wear socks at all times..

There is a rumour that there will be outside equipment in the summer. The staff are very friendly and the lunches are great; all home cooked, with children, adults, vegetarians and salad eaters all catered for. Excellent chips - some people drop in just for lunch. The only downside is an overemphasis on health and safety; knitting is forbidden and pushing two tables together for larger parties earns a stern rebuke!

Nice when it's quiet, but can get a bit crowded when busy. Available for private parties. Staff are always friendly and the entrance charge is fair. They have special offers on at specific times.

We've watched the tv programme where the owners rescue monkeys and apes from accross the world and bring them back to live in sanctuary. Which is most definately a very worth while cause. Any profits made at the centre are used to help the animals that live here and that they save. So after seeing the wonderful work they do and having a camping holiday in that neck of the woods, we couldn't resist a trip. Im glad I have a digital camera as its a photographers dream to capture all these beautiful animals. I'd definately go back. My family and I had a fantastic day and its a day out not to be missed.

It was brilliant walking around and seeing what the dedication and passion a few people can achieve. Almost all of the animals seem to have a whole new lease of life, or at least a settled existance for the older ones.
