SnowDome

We as a family of four had an amazing day out at Santas Winter Wonderland. Our boy age 4 and daughter aged 2 had the best time. Our time was 9:35am on a Sunday, and we felt it wasn’t overly too busy. Just right. The kids managed to go on all the slopes and rides multiple times. They loved gliding round being pulled on the wooden sledges! The pantomime show was fun and engaging even our 2 year old sat through it all (with snacks on tap!).Wrap up warm it’s cold! :-)

Came this week! So no one else for the day pass of the 6 hour skiing lesson set. Adam K taught me and a family member - he was really patient and calm; a great teacher! Snow slope was good as it was steeper one end and had flat bits and a good corner. Rope system was sound but elevator could be slightly faster.Lunch was limited and basic but ok.I think it is slightly too expensive for me. There is a surprise at the entrance - a £2.50 car park fee. Make sure u bring quite a few 20p coins as the lockers require them and they’re a one use coin, so if u open the locker, you have to put a new 20p in!Overall, a great experience and will be back for the advanced ski 3 hour lesson

The wheelchair experience was mind-blowing and the various photo opportunities were fun. Highly recommend

Recently went to the winter wonderland experience with my 8 year old son and had a fantastic time. He loved it. Food in the restaurant as well was excellent. We also did swimming whilst there!

Lovely little day out. Went for the winter wonderland but would like to go back and try out the other activities they offer

I got me and my partner a level 2 snowboarding experience as we'd done the level one in Manchester.Turned up on a wet Dec Sunday and had a brilliant lesson all in all. The staff at this place are brilliant, especially Sam (I think that was his name) who ran the snowboarding lesson. He helped when needed, made jokes to make you not feel too silly, answered all the questions we had and was genuinely just great!The other instructors in that area were also great and helped if they could when Sam was a little busy.The site however was run down, the slope was very small and really busy at points (got taken down by another boarder who didn't know what he was doing) and the lockers take only 20ps every time you want to shut them.I think you will get a much better time and deal with the Manchester slopes but if you can't get there this place will do. The Tesco value of options but still an option you'll get if that's all you can do.Overall okay, the staff made it a really great time and definitely need a Christmas bonus.

Had a brilliant day today at the SnowDome. We were there with a private party (that was fantastic - thank you to the Brain Tumour Trust). The actual dome itself was beautifully decorated inside, very exciting on arrival. On entering the Christmas experience, again well set up waiting area where helmets were there for children (compulsory) and adults (optional). As the doors opened for our slot, it's was to a snowy scene and a good supply of sledges. It goes in a loop - we went right and started with the large snow slide (you go down on rings). We then pulled the children round on the sledges, although the temptation of snow was too much, so lots of stopping and throwing of snowballs! There are two smaller slides on the way round, as well as two selfie opportunities - one in a sleigh and the other in large baubles. By the time we got back to the beginning we had run out of time and the trumpet rang for the pantomime. This was Cinderella with a cast of 4, one being Santa. He was brilliant, as was the whole show. The children loved it, from the little ones, to my older ones (age 11) as they made it modern and relevant. After this you exit at the top to Santa's Village, where there are lots of animals to see - lamas, pigs, goats, rabbits and our favourite 25+ super cute guinea pigs! There were lots of photo ops, a talking postbox you could write letters and post into, plus a carousel ride. All in all this lasted about an hour and a half. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with an 8 and two 11 year old- the only reason I've not given the full five stars is that we could have spent longer in the snow area at the start. For another visit, my kids definitely liked the look of the ski slopes too!

I went with my mum and sister for a day out and it was really fun and I highly recommend it. I did the skiing section so that's the part that I'm recommending you would do as it was very fun and I find it pretty realistic. One reason why I'm giving this four stars not 5 is because on the lower levels you have to hold a rope which can hurt your hands and is quite annoying so I recommend having strong hand grip. Also the food isn't the best but the drinks are really nice. I would not recommend buying the pizzas but the loaded fries are good.I found this experience very fun and brought my confidence back to skiing
