From quad biking round our mud-splattered course and kart racing on our asphalt racing circuit, to hitting the bullseye on our fully automatic archery range and breaking a clay at our clay shooting facility. We offer something for everyone from 3 years to 80 years. At the park there is also a coffee shop, conference room, children's play area and 3 self catering cottages. « less

We signed up for half day activities. Starting with digger moves, digging a hole and filling it up again and spinning round, we moved onto axe throwing (too hard!). Had a go at clay pigeon shooting (became easier once I kept my eye open when pulling the trigger!) and finished with air rifle shooting, which was easy!! Fun day out... More

Dropped by while visiting good friends in the area. We were on vacation near by for the new year. Our crew of 2 dads and one each 8, 11, and 13 year-old boys got their fill go carting, shooting, and quad biking. Staff was super and showed great humor in the chill as the flurries came down. Boys and dads... More

3 of us went quad biking and it was excellent, we started off just going around the field and we all thought this was as adventourous as it was going to get but then we went off into the forest and around their 4x4 driving track, it was pretty hard going, huge boulders, long muddy tracks for sliding and massive...

As a group of friends we were looking for a selection of activities for an afternoon, and these were catered for in the form of Karting, 4X4, quads and clay pigeon shooting.... All commented on the good choice of venue and would go again.. And the Aberdeen Angus Burgers will become legendary! More

I booked an hour Quad Biking at Deeside for my husband and 4 friends, we all had a great time with excellent tuition before we ventured out. Advise you to take Boots and Waterproofs and ideally your own helmet if you have one - they are supplied though so not a priority. Not really able to take a large camera... More

Stopped off for a quick lunch....simple menu and your typical country cafe style but it was very tasty. Lots of activities on offer so a day here would be well worth it. Small cafe, restaurant, brewery and cheese making onsite.....it's a good local business. Intend to come back and try the Sunday lunch, word on the street is it's great. More

We participated in the events organised for children less than 8 years old which included archery, quad biking and karting. My children were supervised by an instructor who was very attentive to their needs not forgetting Fiona who was very accommodating scheduling our visit given the changeable weather. A very enjoyable hour followed by the unlimited use of their indoor... More
