Sutton is the newest and most exciting bouldering wall that we know of, with hundreds or routes with something for everyone, also housing a fantastic caving adventure experience ideally suited for children. So - young or not so young, male or female, big or small, fit or a couch potato - come and enjoy the total thrill of climbing at Craggy Island to get fit and of course, to climb to new heights!

Highly recommend this place. The staff are really really nice and chilled and there's a really fun…read moread friendly atmosphere. The cafe is nice too - they sell a variety of smoothies, paninis, fruit and granola type bars. They sometimes have some hot soup and jacket potatoes too. Great when you've been climbing for a few hours and are hungry. Great for climbers, families and children's birthday parties too. Definitely family friendly. Only down-side is that they aren't too good for parking - you might have to go back to the main road to find a space.

I've only been here to ice skate though the whole leisure complex is much larger, comprising tenpin…read morebowling and swimming among other leisure activities available I came to the Friday night Extreme Ice Disco with a friend. It cost £5.30 for two and a half hours skating with a resident DJ playing tunes. The hire skates were in reasonable condition and using my usual trick of studding handkerchiefs down the side of the skates to stabilise my ankles, they fit quite well The rink is Olympic sized but was still busy on Friday evening. It was mainly a young crowd here but the behaviour was quite good, probably as alcohol wasn't available. Although not the best or most experienced ice skater, I still had fun and was even able to have a few forays into the middle of the rink with the aid and support of my friend. By the end of the evening, there was quite a lot of melted slush on the surface but for the number of skaters, the ice held up well.

So this is another of our summer holidays leisure pool options. Train to Guildford then bus to the…read moreSpectrum which is outside of town. Fairly easy trek and you pass a lido close by which I keep meaning to visit when the suns out. So Spectrum is an ice skating, multi leisure pool and ten pin bowling experience - we normally get a combi ticket for ten pin bowling and swimming. Pools first - in fact 4 pools to cater for everyone's needs. The main pool is strictly leisure plus a diving pool with springboard, 3m, 5m and 10m boards, a 25m lane pool, and a kids shallow pool. Good selection of slides for all ages but none of them contenders, The kids enjoy the three lane race slide best. This is geared for family fun - the slides are all pretty slow and short - they snake around the pool within the building which means they are never going to be long enough for any speed. Shower jets, wave machine, bubble jets,inflatable ring slide. various little kids slides. Main pool is simply too small and is always uncomfortably busy - pretty poor wave machine. Sessions are 90mins (we always mange to overstay) - not really long enough but good value at £15 for an adult and two under 10's. Unless your kids are in swimming clubs its pretty hard to find a pool where they can dive in London any more. Over the last 10 years practically all of them have brought in diving bans for health an safety reasons. Pools we used to dive at wont let us now. But Spectrum is like no other for diving. So kids can dive in the 25m lane pool - a great start - perfect for my 9 year old to practice her racing dives. But the diving pool is the wildest of all - 3 boards in action at the same time - you can somersault, run, jump, dive, spin - yes actually have some fun - all the other diving pools we know are really strict about one at a time and what you can do. Awesome - worth the four stars alone. You get lots of people just watching and the queue that snakes around the pool show how much the kids love it.. Grim Wimpy burger bar (yes they still exist) - this is really, really awful - and a Costa upstairs - they do pizzas in the basement bowling area. Loads of green space outside for picnics - which is what we normally do. We probably visit a couple of times a year - the main pool looks good but kind of flatters to deceive - but the diving is just the best. Skating rink ls large and we will use one time we visit . Its great having the bowling as it makes for a proper day out. Recommended - despite the main leisure pool probably being best suited for under 10s with not much thrill factor.
