A few months ago I decided to go to planet leisure with a couple of my friends. We all had a great time, and got to experience multiple facilities’ it had to offer. It is a great place with a fun and exciting atmosphere. The furniture was all really comfortable with a great colour scheme to match. The only down side was it still felt strangely like the owners other business rough and tumble, so after a while you started to feel a bit childish and out of place. But apart from that the place itself was really nice.
One of the things that I really enjoyed trying out was the bowling. It was great fun with an easy to learn start up system, so you weren’t standing around idle for 10 minutes waiting for someone to set up the scoring and barrier system. When you started bowling it was really great fun. The pins set up really quickly so you weren’t standing around waiting for your next shot, whilst the pins got cleared out of the way. Whilst other people are taking their shots there are sofas around the alley, so there is a place to sit (instead of stood up or on wooden seats). Overall I thought that the bowling was great and I would certainly do it again.
The best part of going there was the food. It was really tasty. It was as good as the food that I had when I was little in rough and tumble. It was really nice but it still felt strangely like rough and tumble so again it felt weird. It still tasted really nice though.
The final thing that I did there on my visit was the ice skating. That was brilliant fun and great to learn. The ice there was a sort of plastic which had a slippery liquid sprayed on it which was weird. I had gone ice skating before but that was on real ice so it kept you cool. But here though with special ice you got tired quicker. The spray that was on the ice was annoying. When you fell over it got stuck to your clothes, so I wouldn’t wear anything good to go in. All in all, I thought the ice skating was absolutely amazing.
There were a couple of other things that planet leisure had, that I didn’t get to try out. A high wire sort of thing had been built above the ice rink. A sort of obstacle course suspended in the air which you had to work your way around whilst being help by a rope. It looked quite good although in my opinion it was definitely overpriced. Also there was an arcade there. It looked ok but it wasn’t amazing, it definitely didn’t live up to the standards of the rest of the place.
Also there is a laser tag opening up. I’m not sure if it is open now but it will defiantly be something to look into if you are thinking of going. It should probably tell you on the website so check it out on the internet if you have some spare time.
