The 45 best things to do with kids in Exeter

I don't usually give 5 stars out, but RAMM is well deserving of 5. Firstly, the admission is entirely free, which is always lovely. The exhibitions on show are fascinating to look at and learn about, and the staff are remarkably friendly. To top it all off, the café was unbelievably affordable, which is a marvellous addition. Therefore, if you are local and looking for a day out or simply in the area looking for something to do, it is a must do!

Awesome museum with free entry. This museum covers not just the natural history of the local area but also an extremely wide range of different exhibitions! A must see if you're staying in Exeter or the surrounding area. I visited twice in one week!

The renovation work done on the museum was well worth the time and effort and there are lots of well thought through additions. The museum is vast so you could spend hours there but, as entry is free, I quite often just pop in to spend a few minutes in a lunch break or when waiting for the train (it is just next to Exeter Central Station). It is worth noting that there are lockers at the museum where you can leave your belongings while you walk round which is great for those who are passing by and perhaps have more bags etc that they would like! There is a wonderful model of Exeter within the museum which is so interesting to see and the taxidermy (although it might not be everyone's cup of tea) is also a big draw. The museum often has really wonderful exhibitions such as the BBC wildlife photographer of the year so there is always something new to see. I haven't eaten in the cafe there but have heard good things. Everything in the museum seems to have some sort of link to Exeter (however tenuous) & just gives a feeling of being there for the people. It was friendly & relaxed & the information is suitable for the younger/casual interest & also anyone who wants to read more about something. It's laid out in such a way that most of the rooms & exhibits 'flow' & connect together. You could probably spend half a day there (we ran out of time). However, the reviewers who've said the café is reasonably priced, probably come from a more expensive area than Exeter (personally we thought £6+ for a ciabatta & a bit of salad is fairly steep)

The staff are definitely the best thing about this place. The volunteers show a genuine interest in the exhibits and are very helpful. There's really lots to see in this museum, even if it is a bit like most other museums. Plenty of vases on display. All in all it's quite well run and well worth dropping in.

came here to start of my birthday as i do love going to the museum to see the animals and all and it didn’t disappoint it was much bigger than i thought it was so cool! i had so much fun i would definitely recommend you to visit!

As other people wrote, this museum has a large collection of artifacts and specimens, and considering the size (someone wrote it is vast, but if you have visited the great museums of the world, you can’t quite call it vast), there is a lot of interest. I enjoyed the prehistoric portion of the museum because it complements my visit to Kents Cavern and the Jurassic Coast. I appreciated the sensitivity about the acquisition of many of the artifacts and the peoples they belonged to, and therefore was disappointed that no sensitivity was shown about the problems of hunting (and the resulting “taxidermized” animals). I mean, is it still so admirable that King George V shot a Bengal tiger (and donated it to the museum)? Wasn’t that whole hunting culture one of the reasons some of these beautiful species are endangered? (Hunting is still a threat to Bengal tigers, though conservation efforts have improved their situation in the past decade). The museum should have some comment about conservation efforts today.

This was a lovely museum to visit, telling the industrial stories of Exeter many years back! The manufacturing market of the likes of carpets and clothing is delved into, as is the expansion of the railways and how they entered the city. Love the exhibits with miniature trains and the old artefacts like books kept, geologic section is interesting with the relics and stuffed animals give an insight into life way before our time!

Unlike most cathedrals, this was wonderfully peaceful and free of crowds, when I went. Lovely staff. The 'Treasures tour' is well worth the £5 - includes the 'Exeter book', which is oldest manuscript of Old English literature/poems/riddles.

Who love the architecture must visited and the interior is filled with fascinating details. My visit to Exeter Cathedral was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped through the grand west front, I was completely captivated by the sheer scale and beauty of this historical building. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England, which feels like a vast stone wave frozen in time above you.

A wonderful and interestingly colourful example of an English Cathedral. The painted bosses in the ceiling and carvings on the end of the Choirs seating are excellent examples. Look out for the patron saint of Dentists and her story and the historical Cathedral Cat.

One of the ancient cathedrals, however the architecture is unbelievable and must be seen in a tourist spot in Exeter. Anytime welcome, and there is a £ 5 ticket price for adult visitors. When you compare the architecture ticket, the price is nothing. It was built between ADs 50 and 75.

Absolutely love it here, a glorious space. So disappointed that the statues have gone from the café, they framed the amazing ceiling so beautifully. Admit I haven't been back since x

Stunning cathedral and the surrounding area is quite magical. The inside is amazing when you have the chance to go in - well worth the visit and very impressive.

Home to the longest vaulted ceiling in the world, Exeter cathedral was completed by ~1400 AD. In 1942, a german bomb destroyed part of the church, causing substantial damage. The church has since been restored. The interior is beautifully constructed with awe-inspiring architecture and amazing attention to detail. Unfortunately, erosion is degrading the exquisitely detailed stone carvings on the exterior. Admission is £5 per person, and children of a family who are under 18 get in free.

Awesome and unique maintenance ducts that once held water pipes for Exeter. I really struggled due to how small and crapped it is in places; you really feel claustrophobic in here!

Excellent experience ,me and my wife loved it , Katie the guide adds a great bit of humour to the tour , a section of the tour , you get offered to do a section as walk or crawl , do the crawl option proper funny 🤣 👏🏻👏🏻

Worth the trip. Very interesting place to visit. Funny tour guides who are passionate about their work.

Very interesting and educational visit and excellent value for money. Built to get water into the town without having to keep digging up the roads and town walls. Current planners civil engineers etc should take note!!!! If you're claustrophobic you may struggle. Tickets/entrance are timed, we just missed one time slot so poped over the road for a drink

We had a fantastic time exploring the! Dimitri was a fantastic guide. He was super charismatic, enthusiastic and helpful. We will recommend to friends and family!

I went to the Exeter Underground Passages, on Sunday 14th September 2025. There is a good, little, free museum, with realistic replica passages, if you want to get a glimpse of what the passages are like. After seeing the museum, I decided to take the tour. Adult ticket - £9. Prior to the tour there was a short informational video, which was good and useful. The tour lasted 30+ minutes. Helen did a good job guiding us, with some useful information. I thought it was worth the money. A good bit of niche history, ie getting clean water to the city, which made me reflect on conditions for most people back then. As well as the history, it was pretty exciting being down there. The passages are well lit, but they are quite small, as so a bit of an adrenaline rush, pushing the comfort boundaries 😉 I would recommend this tour.

The tour guide was awesome and funny, and very informative. An interesting but short experience. Now I know more about the ground below which I walk.

We were shown this amazing little place as part of a guided walking tour, but popped back later in the day to have a proper look and I'm so glad we did! Amazingly well preserved building which was occupied for nearly 800 years. Interesting displays and a nice little scavenger hunt for the kids. The toilets on site were a practical bonus!

What a great place to visit. It's been there almost a 1000 years and you can see some wonderful Tudor decor from when it was tarted up by new owners once HenryVIII closed it as a Priory. The decorative plaster work with Tudor roses looks amazing as does the original traces of wall paintings. Plus it's free to visit and bookable for events such as weddings.

We attended a ghost evening on Halloween and had the best time. I won't spoil others' fun, but we got to visit four or five of the rooms inside the priory which are stunning. The stairs are a little tricky so I would advise caution, but it's a true hidden gem and I'd love to go back. Mobile phones had to he physically turned off so I only managed to get one picture from inside I'm afraid. But I'll share one or two that I took outside.

It was the first time I'd been to this wonderful historical place. The children's concert was a lovely idea and I really appreciated the opportunity for them to hear classical music. Unfortunately I had to take them out because the two-year old wasn't coping but the staff were super helpful. I love learning about the history of Exeter and I will be returning to look around properly.

Now this place was a revelation to me . I've visited Exeter many times before and never found this gem of a place . Hidden away on a trek into the back streets of Exeter. But Well worth the seeking out . This was a monestry a beautifully Tudor home used by the Roman's etc etc the history is amazing . This place is now lovingly cherished and the ladies who run it free of charge are more than happy to share their passion for this place . Seek it out it's well worth the effort .

Great place for a visit. It is small and out of the way but full of interest.

I went to st Nicholas Priory for sit a down performance and entertainment. It is an ideal place to enjoy yourself with beautiful surroundings and a peep into it's history. The building is full of artefacts of great interest and it amazes you with its architecture. Friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff are willing to help.

Fine and withs visit as is full of great curiosities, memorabilia and hands on items - but sadly arranged in a confused and disorderly way that makes little sense as you stumble from exhibit to exhibit. After 15mins you really need to get out and get some air

Interesting collection but quite a bit smaller than expected- just 2 rooms. Some signs i could not read as high up in cabinet. No logical route round.

Definitely worth a visit if you're seriously interested in film history. It's fairly small, based around a bequest by Bill Douglas to the University of Exeter. To display as much as possible, the exhibit cases are a bit crowded but the items are of great interest. The second gallery has a good exhibition of pre-film moving image makers. Nice people in charge, and not too far to walk from the city centre (we did, ages 73 and 76).

Tiny but cute collection with surprisingly good items from 'non-Western' cultures. Really friendly curator. Not a fan of audiotours and my favourite thing about museums is reading the descriptions next to items, so just getting a few words on each piece here is a bit unsatisfying. 😂 But it's free and right on campus!!

Marvellous exhibition of cinema nostalgia. Very modern displays with exhibits ranging from magic lanterns to spin off toys from modern films. Well worth a visit.

really interesting collection. lots of interactive stuff like optical illusions, cool visual effect toys, dioramas, and flick books as well as film memorabilia.

Very small, interesting. Only deals with very early cinema and magic lantern.

A fun experience with friends! A bit far from the town center but the walk was decent. A really easy process and we did walk in on a weekday evening so that was very accessible. Would definitely go again and getting to add our photos to the board was a nice touch! Also got an arcade area with games but you need coins! Would go back for sure

Nice bowling alley, really appreciate the £9 deal for 3 rounds on Sunday evenings. Always a good time with the lads. The lane conditions aren’t the best, with uneven oil distribution and a general lack of maintenance, but for the price, it’s hard to complain. Great for a laid-back night out.

The manager and his team were really helpful, friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the air-conditioning wasn't on and it was sweltering, the gulley barriers were intermittent, the system occasionally moved on to the next player before the 2nd bowl was completed. There was very little space and not enough room for bags, food and drink etc. Very cramped for a group.

This is the second party we have had. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Very cheerful and organised. It made my twins birthday extra special. Thank you!

Good bowling alley with good social distancing measures in place. You can order food and drinks to the alley from your table. Large car park here. I wouldn't visit this one again, just because the atmosphere wasn't as fun as it is at other bowling chains. It was good to pass a bit of time, but with 2 people and 2 games, it was done in 30 minutes. Staff were very friendly and helpful. High standard of cleaning.

We often take our students here and it’s always a good time!

This was our first time at Tenpin on a day out to Exeter. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very clean and pleasant environment. We'll be back next time we're in exeter.

We go to Exeter when on holiday and when the weather is not looking good. The Quayside is a short walk from Exeter shopping centre and is a really nice place to have a 1/2 hour or so stroll. A lot more could be done to make it more of an attraction, hence 4 stars. I imagine it would be great on a night with all the bars around.

Wonderful place to wander round, lots of pubs and places to eat from cafes to restaurants...we enjoyed a good fee hours here!

Gorgeous setting with restaurants round a square near the river. Boat launch near by and also antique shops and more restaurant options on the other side of the river. The walk there over the bridge and then by the riverside is also beautiful.

There are places in Britain that pretend to be charming and places that actually are. Exeter Quayside, mercifully, is the latter. It’s a beautiful, meandering stretch of water and cobblestone, where the past hasn’t been redeveloped into a Costa and a Nando’s. Instead, it’s been allowed to settle gently into a place that smells faintly of riverweed, hops, and the distant memory of trade. Here, you’ll find what’s left of Exeter’s mercantile swagger—warehouses turned into art galleries, cafes with oat milk on tap, and a pleasingly cosy pub or two. Topsham Brewery’s taproom is especially worth your time. It has that curated roughness that says, “We brew things,” and, unusually, they actually do. The beer is rather good—bright, hoppy, unapologetic—and the garden seating offers a fine view of joggers, dogs, and toddlers in miniature wetsuits being shouted at by parents with paddleboards. Now, about the cyclists. Exeter Quayside east side has been rather given over to them by the council, who in their infinite and unfathomable wisdom, decided the best place for a high-speed time trial was a narrow path used by pensioners, toddlers, tourists, and anyone still mourning the death of walking. Still, there’s something properly delightful about the whole place. It doesn’t try too hard. The food’s better than you expect, the beer’s cold, and there are boats to nowhere, which is exactly where you want to go on a weekend in Devon. Give it a visit. Just bring shin pads. Or at least good reflexes.

An underrated jewel in Exeter. The Quay combines history, nature and leisure. Plenty of cafés, restaurants and artisan shops.

A lively and lovely setting. Jazz band playing and people out on boats .

A wonderful vibe here, plus wide variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Plenty of seating. Not that far from the city centre if you're fit. Meanwhile, a riverside walk takes you to the valley park: look out for kingfisher, as well as various species of water fowl.

Been on a number of these tours now. All have been very thoughtful and informative about Exeters history. The are FREE and highly recommended to anyone interested in knowing more about the history of Exeter ✅❤️🙌🙌🙌

I love that the council has this free volunteer program for tourists to learn more about the city and its history. We went for a Sunday 11am tour of the Quay with Pete and about 12 ppl, and it was wonderful! Easy walking pace, great information about the quay and Pete bought in his personal stories of living in the city. Engaging and informative- I highly recommend!

Walking tour around Exeter, which was interesting and informative. Easy pace with our guide Peter who was very knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend, well done Exeter for providing this free service. No tickets required, look for advertising around the city, we met Peter outside the cathedral.

I went on several of the free guided tours in my last few weeks of university. I learnt so much about the city I had lived in for 4 years during university, it really gave me a new view on Exeter for the better. I wished I had done these at the beginning rather than the end as there are lots of hidden secrets in Exeter that you just have to discover for yourself with these tours :)

We went on a tour of the city wall with our amazing guide, Barry, and it made our vacation in Exeter so worth it. It lasted for two hours, but the sights, stories, and the trivia made us forgot how time passed. It leaves you with a much better appreciation for the city. Definitely recommend!

Ann took us on a fantastic ghost tour of Exeter last night. The tour was fun, interesting and amazing to learn things about the City that I was born in. I saw things in Exeter that I've never seen or known before and can't wait to tell others.. Thank you Ann I look forward to my next tour. Sarah

We had a great tour around Exeter learning about the medieval history of the city with Dave. He was friendly and informative and made the tour really interesting for our 7 and 9 year old daughters. I would highly recommend anyone to join a red coat tour group!

I took my 4 year old to the kids session, 16/8/25. There was a good variety or climbs. He enjoyed the Swiss cheese climb but climbed a little bit too high for his comfort and had a 'moment' when he looked down. The staff were great and one of the young guys climbed up and was very patient talking my son down. Thank you very much.

Awesome afternoon climbing solo here while on holiday. I normally boulder, but they kindly gave me a quick auto belay induction so I had loads of routes to do. Huge amount of top rope and lead available too.

Always like a climbing centre that has a selection of auto belay and roped climbing. There were good lines in the 5 to 6c range. Some holds were super polished but generally not a problem. It wasn't too busy on a sunny Sunday morning. Coffee was good. Staff were friendly.

Getting back into climbing after a break for a few years. Enjoying auto belays with my son (15) who is also getting back into climbing. Great for all the family. Great off peak when less busy. Cafe isnt bad for a chill. Plenty of options here. Boulding room. Hire your gear. Become a member use the small gym and get discount off your climb, plus other discounts in Taunton leisure. Only downside for me is travelling to Exeter, the traffic is a pain in summer on the M5.

The Quay Climbing Club was the favourite above all the other sports clubs and activities we tried for our son. He started when he was 8 years old and he is still loving it 10 years later! Climbing has helped our son to be confident, have courage, be physically and mentally strong and has developed his balance, focus and attention. He has also met some really friendly like- minded people of all ages.

By far the best climbing gym for miles around. The route setting is excellent, the vibe is great and the cafe has delicious cakes and good coffee

I've been here a few times now and the facilities are brilliant and the staff are always happy to help/advise and it's genuine not just because they're at work. I'm grateful to have this in Devon!

Love the Northcott. It's just the right size to feel cosy and intimate but still offer a great night out. The bar is always well run. On this occasion it was another trip to see the latest show from Stewart Lee, and the fact that this absolute god of comedy is happy to return here time and again should speak volumes for the venue too.

A Great place to watch plays or see great comedians such as Stewart Lee.. To get the relevance to the property you need to be there from the start.

Visited the Northcott Theatre on Saturday 11th October to watch a performance of The Ex Men. The show was brilliant, very informative and funny. I’m registered blind therefore my son asked if they had audio description sets I could use. This was also amazing, I would not really have known what was happening on stage but the audio description brought the whole thing to life. I really enjoyed the evening, the show was excellent, the staff was very helpful, prices in the bar was also good.

Went to see the Rock Orchestra. Great building although actually getting up staircase seemed very chaotic and claustrophobic as very narrow. Seating was good and fairly comfy. Service for drink was fast and freindly. I checked car park info before we left on uni website which advised visitors to use car park C. This is tiny and was obviously completely full. We decided to head to car park B by football pitches - it was empty - information was that we would still need to pay via app even though this was 8pm.

Went to see, "Pride and Prejudice (sort of)". We were thoroughly entertained! The theatre itself was excellent. It had a real community feel, wasn't pretentious and had everything you may need. Although the parking was a little ambiguous, we eventually found plenty of it. Our understanding is that there may be public transport available. If you're looking for some culture, there are many events, performances and "other" at the theatre. It's a proper champion of the arts.

I attended the Lost N Music show on Nov. 6 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The singers and their band were great! It was almost sold out from what I could tell. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing along. Excellent show!

Lovely venue. Steep seats mean you can get close to the action without someone's head blocking your view. Friendly staff.

Beautiful place to visit, visually striking and emotionally engaging, worth seeing if you're itown, n and hopefully the renovations will be finished when you visit. I'll have to come back to see the rest.

Security and maintenance department is extremely quick and helpful. Thank you so much for saving my life and helping me unlock my bike! I managed to get the broken key bit out of the lock at home.

Going downhill. QUICK…. i used to go couple times a week- now there’s Too many empty stores. Too many student flats….Drop the store rates-pop up shops needed. No shops no public ….Too much bedding left around from night shift people. - they need to leave securely at the cathedral…..Bins need regular emptying. I now go once a month- it’s a shame.

The carpark is expensive but clean, tidy and well staffed. Good selection of shops, just a shame so many of them don't open until 9:30 or 10am.

One of the best shopping centres in the uk. It has a shelter where you dont get wet whilst shopping and a great range of shops

Quick scoot around Exeter, always some interesting sites but difficult to park if you have a car around 1.9m tall. Managed to find somewhere in Prncesshay hence the review. Beautiful day. Totally loved the boarding around the Ivy, wish all mundane things were made this beautiful. Lots of work going on around the Green, but plenty of people out. Tried to spend some money but want inspired.

positive aspects such as the variety of shops, cleanliness, atmosphere. it would likely receive a high rating. Overall, Princesshay in Exeter tends to receive positive reviews for its range of shops and pleasant atmosphere

Screen experience absolutely fine, always love the chairs and seemed clean- but everything else is pretty poor at the moment. The pick and mix station (which costs a small fortune anyway) was only about 30% full with loads of boxes empty, the popcorn is always on the stale side and the toilets were absolutely abysmal. Have seen cleaner portaloos at a festival. Last night was a warm evening but air con wasn’t on in the foyer or the screen, which meant any chocolate purchased was pretty much melted and the initial experience in the screen was uncomfortable. This is supposed to be the premium cinema! Step it up Vue!

They changed my seats without my consensus (due to the change of Screen from 3 to 2). In case you don't know the whole point of choosing the seats position and buy the tickets early is for us to find the best seats that we want. Your act really disappointing me in the sense they you just change your products whenever you want. It is like you giving me chicken when I am buying the beef from you. I have attached the proof as the reference.

Disappointing. Back to the bad old days of being robbed blind for concessions and poor selection in the pic n mix. £13 for a drink and a fairly small amount of sweets - much more than my local cinema. No air con so unbearably hot. "Luxury" seats really not comfortable - either had to lay down or my feet didnt touch the floor - I'm 5'6" so not short. My husbands didn't work anyway. Only tried as my local cinemas weren't showing the film we wanted on the day we wanted. Won't be returning.

Your new pricing of £12 a ticket for the bulk of good seats is a rip off! For a family of four you are pricing yourselves out of the market...bad decision View leadership!

No Air Conditioning at the cinema. As soon as I did step in the room I knew straight away there were no air con. I reported it to a member of staff who said she will call her manager. Everyone was suffering and sweating for 2h30 (the long mission impossible movie) I had difficulty breathing , my heart was pulsing , I had headache which has been a Very Unpleasant experience. After the movie I reported it to another member of staff and have clearly complained so other people as well. The member of staff admitted they had air conditioning problems. You should have offered Free Drinks to your customers... even just water bottle. It is infuriating that you have not informed customers before as we could have buy more drink.. REALLY Unhappy about your attitude especially when you are in a full room for 2h30. I should get a refund for my 3 tickets .

Unfortunately this cinema isn't very clean. Dirty soiled toilets. Sticky floors downstairs, escalator, upstairs and exit stairs (these are really sticky and covered in dirt and grime). Some screens like screen 4 are very small so I would recommend booking in advance. I like the reclining seats. However, these hadn't been cleaned properly (if at all) between screening and was also sticky. The neighbouring seat had crumbs and dust on it. Unfortunately during the adverts and trailers if sat in the first 3 rows there is a really bright light shining in your eyes. Although, the sound proofing is much better than the Odeon so you don't end up hearing films in the neighbouring screens.

Best Vue I've been too. Been to a few in London and the south. But the seats were reclinable sound etc all good. Was a sold out theater for Captain America which added to the atmosphere!

I like the building, the movies, and the idea of this cinema. I don't like the chairs on the screens. Vintage does not mean uncomfortable. The coffee shop has a nice layout. The food has always been a bit uncooked in my experience. I don't feel the staff at the cafe are very caring

Very nice cinema, with very friendly helpful staff. My only slight issue was the seats weren't overly comfortable but that was only a small issue. But that being said I'd go back.

Excellent small picture house. Friendly staff and very clean premises. The cafe above serves an excellent pizza that's well worth a try. Heartily recommended.

I visited the Picturehouse for the second time yesterday, attending the baby showing and it was fab! On both occasions, the staff have been polite, helpful and welcoming! The facilities are clean and the seats are comfy. It's lovely being able to go to the cinema with my baby. Thank you!

Saw North by Northwest recently on screen 2. The sound volume is very low, so all one can hear is people talking, moving around in their seats, and loudly munching on their food... crisp packets, popcorn. The volume issue is extremely annoying, and looking at other reviews, seems its a problem with screen 2 at least, for a number of years... Its quite simple Picturehouse Exeter - Turn the volume up! We left the film early as it was so bad. First time I've been in Exeter Picture house. The seating is too small and hardly any room to squeeze past others to get to your sit comfortably. The seats seem to be attached to a platform, so if someone moves around further down, it seems to rock the other seats. Also people behind you kick back of seats alot due to lack of room. Even though the room appeared to have air conditioning, it wasnt turned on, so the room was very dusty and still. Shame as I once was a member of Picturehouse, and compared to Norwich and even Brixton. Exeter Picturehouse, or just the screen 2, seems very run down.

Feels like going to an old -but modernised- cinema. One of the best pizzas in town ♥️

We were very comfortable and enjoyed being at Exeter picturehouse

Absolutely great! We had a fab time. Our little one had so much fun bouncing around and there was a variety of things to do in the trampoline section. Staff were really friendly and nice and will be coming back when on holiday this way again!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Staff were welcoming and really helpful. The place is well looked after. The children had fun, but it was very hot. The fans are not effective enough on a hot day. The children got far too hot and we could not watch from above, due to the heat in the viewing area. Air conditioning needed!

Selling multi pack cans of drink individually at ridiculous prices. Im sure trading standards will love this! When i tried to buy a drink at reception when booking in I pointed this out to the staff member but when leaving the cans of drink were still sat in the fridge!

The staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The facilities were excellent and the Cafe suplied a most acceptable glass of latte coffee. My extended family had a super time. My only regret is that I live too far away to be able to treat them to regular visits.

We visited iBounce today and, while it was nice and quiet, which we appreciated, there were a few issues that made our experience less than enjoyable. It seemed like the lack of facilities and the grumpy staff were the main reasons behind the quiet atmosphere. We were there to have fun with our kids and respect the health and safety guidelines, but the staff member on duty seemed a little too intense. We were simply playing tag with our kids, trying to encourage fun and laughter, but the staff member kept shouting at us for what seemed like silly reasons. It honestly felt like we were singled out, and the approach wasn’t consistent with how other guests were being treated. This staff member appeared to take satisfaction in telling people what they could and couldn’t do, which really took away from the whole experience. We won’t be returning anytime soon. It wasn’t fun at all. We usually go to Flip Out, and that's where we'll be headed in the future. Maybe iBounce could take a note from their more relaxed and friendly approach.

The staff were very militant and I felt on edge after they pulled aside a child to tell them off without their parent there - saying they were going to take the child off to watch the safety video on their own- so the child was very scared. Not sure il be back. Also- now only allowed “ibounce” branded trampoline socks and these socks they charge a small fortune for …absolute carnage getting in and out as no space tween booking so hundreds of kids getting on / shoes etc in a c small space/ corridor. not worth the money for the experience in my opinion.

I was a big fan of iBounce when I brought my under 5yo to parent and toddler bounce sessions and would also spend time in iPlay afterwards by upgrading for a few quid. We came today for the first time since turning 5 and it felt far too busy. I really felt ripped off having to buy an adult ticket just to supervise as it was too busy for adults to be taking up trampolines that children wanted to use. My son got pretty fed up after just half an hour so we went over to iPlay but discovered the upgrade for £2 isn't on offer at peak times. I really couldn't justify paying full price on top of the iBounce tickets. It would have cost about £30!

It's so easy to book online, click click click and pay. Lots of children but there are adults who climbs as well. This brings my inner child back 🫂will definitely come again for difficult one. It would be great if staff share more tips of how to get down... it was very scary for the first few times, but once i get use of coming down, it's purely fun. don't hesitate don't look down just climb. 😙

Great day out for kids and adults. Instructors very attentive, supportive and motivating for the kids. Overall a great setup, length of time and challenge, even for first timers at 5yo! Book ahead and choose a slot with most free slots available to avoid crowds.

Took my 10 and 8 year old for their first go at climbing and they loved it! Helpful, friendly staff and great safety instructions. Overall worth the money and we'll be going again

The kids had a great time at Clip n climb for their birthdays. All the staff were lovely especially Tom who helped and encouraged them along the way.

We had a fantastic time at Clip ‘n Climb! The staff were so accommodating — when half our party got stuck on the motorway, they kindly moved our booking back two hours with no fuss. The climbing itself was great fun and the kids had a brilliant time. The food was excellent too, and everyone left feeling full and happy. My only small suggestion would be to make the climbing session feel a bit more like a party. The was no mention of it being my sons birthday at all and no real fuss made. When eating, we were put in the corner of the cafe which was absolutely fine, but some balloons or decorations would have been nice. Also more inclusive access to the climbing area would have been great but I understand costs need to be taken into account here. That being said though, it was a really positive experience overall and we’d happily come again.

Took the family to Clip and Climb on the 5pm slot today (14th) Fraser and the team there were brilliant. Really attentive and encouraging to both children who had an awesome time on the walls and made huge progress in the short time we were there. Thank you to Fraser (and his colleagues who we didnt catch the names of!) for their brilliant service.

We visited on Friday and Miro made my 6 year old son Robin's experience really special. He went above and beyond for him and we truly appreciated it. He's also inspired me to give it a try!

Purchased two bikes last Saturday after much deliberating. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable every time i went in. The handover of the new bikes was great and the staff made sure everything was setup correctly. Cant recommend them enough for quality, service and a welcoming team.

Heather provided exceptional support in helping me return to cycling after 30 years. Her professionalism, patience, and reassuring manner instantly put me at ease, allowing me to feel safe, calm, and confident throughout the ride. She thoughtfully adjusted the bike and saddle to ensure comfort, which transformed the experience into one that was truly enjoyable. I greatly appreciated her expertise and encouragement—she turned a daunting step into an uplifting and memorable milestone. Thanks Saddles and Paddles and thank you Heather!

Very easy process to hire. Locks and helmets available. Value for money. Bikes excellent. Cycled from Exeter to Dawlish. Wonderful day out.

Friendly easy going staff, gave great instruction and made it so easy. Hired kayak for 3 of us followed route to double locks pub had lunch and back. Overall such an easy stress free trip through saddles and paddles! Highly recommend, thankyou to your team.

Hired a couple of e-bikes midweek - got excellent directions, a map and suggestions for places to stop along the way and have some lunch. Such good recommendations in fact we dawdled back and were a little late returning the bikes. We expected to pay a little extra but were very pleasantly surprised to be "let off". Maybe because it was a little quiet, maybe they took pity on us plonkers. I can't promise you'll get the same treatment, so please try to be more organised than we were. But it was a much appreciated gesture. I enjoyed the E-bike so much I asked a whole bunch of questions and received patient, helpful and knowledgeable answers, all whilst other customers popped past saying hello to "Harry" by first name. The place gave off good vibes all round. Basically brilliant. Would recommend.

I have hired bikes from Saddles and Paddles many times when we go on holiday in Devon. Just wanted to say thank you to the shop assistant who gave first aid to my daughter when she came off her bike and also for a part refund after my other daughter had a puncture, thank you so much. Fantastic service as always.

Cannot rate the staff and service highly enough at Saddles & Paddles! I was on a ride on Saturday and discovered I had a slow puncture, popped in to see if there was anything they could do and there and then they took my bike in and fixed it and gave me one of their bikes whilst they were fixing mine. Reasonable price and very, very friendly staff!

I haven’t been here in many years, and we really were surprised with how many more attractions had been added. There’s something for everybody, especially younger children with a few large play areas inside & a massive one outside called Crealy Fort. Devil slide, curly slides and Vortex water slide. Ideal for wheelchair users and also have a wheelchair seesaw. Also there’s farm animals to see, and plenty of picnic benches. Overall I’d highly recommend 10/10

Very centrally located, a short distance from Exeter Central Station and the high street. There were already a number of tables occupied even before 9am which was lovely to see. The seating area is upstairs so re accessibility, would recommend calling them to check before going (there was a long bar and 4 high stools downstairs too). Staff were great at explaining what could and couldn’t be modified to coeliac-safe and it was so reassuring that we went back again the following day. Food menu for kids also available.

Very good food and service. I got the salmon, egg and avocado, very fresh. Will not give it 5/5 due to atmosphere as it is cute but nothing extraordinary. 👍

I can’t say enough great things about the staff at BTP, everyone was very helpful and kind. My niece has tree nut allergies and they were all so careful to let us know which menu items she should avoid. The food was amazing! It was my first English breakfast and I am now hooked! The beans and bacon were the highlight. If you go here I hope you have the pleasure of meeting Emily, she really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even made us a list of where we should try to go while visiting Exeter! 10/10, go here you will not be disappointed

The Boston Tea Party is worth a five star rating. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The service was really good. The breakfast was amazing. Even the beans tasted great. Definitely would recommend.

Excellent food and easy location. Very busy but it wasn't too noisy and the service was efficient and friendly. Highly recommend

Lovey brunch this morning. First time trying the Sweetcorn Hash and OMG it's to die for. New favourite breakfast I reckon! Thanks Emily for the lovely service too. A fellow enthusiastic appreciator of my meal, she understood the assignment and delivered main character energy 👌🎉 love this place, highly recommend

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. We go out to cafés and restaurants every day. We sit down, we order, we eat, and we leave. Most of the time, it’s fine — good food, decent service, nothing more, nothing less. But every so often, someone comes along who changes that routine. Someone who takes what could have been an ordinary meal and turns it into something you actually remember. For me, on this day, that someone was Meg. From the very first moment, Meg didn’t just serve. She welcomed. She paid attention. She carried herself with a kindness that felt real — not rehearsed, not mechanical, but heartfelt. Every interaction, every check-in, every word she spoke was filled with the kind of care that makes you feel not like a customer, but like a guest of honor. And that matters. Because it’s easy to overlook the impact of service. But think about it: food will fill your stomach, but people — people like Meg — they lift your spirit. They create moments. They leave you walking out the door with more than just a receipt in your pocket. You leave with the memory of how you were treated, how you felt. And that’s what lasts. Boston Tea Party has good food, yes. A welcoming space, yes. But Meg — Meg is the reason today stood apart. She turned coffee and a meal into something far greater: an experience worth remembering, worth talking about, worth celebrating. So here’s my word to Boston Tea Party: recognize her, appreciate her, because she is the heart that makes the whole place beat brighter. And here’s my word to anyone reading this: if you’re lucky enough to be served by Meg, know this — you’re in for something special.

Pizza is good as always but expensive we came back for the nostalgia but the place is seriously filthy. The baskets looks like they are never cleaned. Table 23 had rotten olives and food bits that smelled absolutely terrible and disgusting, toilets are nasty, chairs are dirty, no ventilation and smells like moist morning breath inside. Looks like they just don't care anymore about the place cause they know people will keep coming back anyways for the memories. Please don't reply to the review and just clean the place

Really disappointed to be writing this. We're working in Devon for the next 6-9 months, so I'd had a look online where was recommended. Here came up as a good option on a Sunday (we'll all be travelling down Sundays and staying for the week, & Sundays are always hard to find somewhere decent). I was on my own this evening, as the first one down here, so thought I'd give it a try. Its always fairly intimidating going into a place on your own, but this looked alright. I ordered a pint (very well kept Estrella) & was enjoying the place. Decor is good, nice atmosphere and decent choice of drinks. A group of staff (some working, others not) were sat at the end of the bar, playing cards and having a laugh... all good to this point. I'd noticed on the food menu (photo attached) that it said live music on Sundays, so when I ordered a second pint I asked the lad behind the bar if they had anything on this evening. He said "not tonight" and I thought that was it. Next thing I know, he goes back to his colleagues at the end of the bar & starts making a joke that I'd asked about the music. "live music tonight. is he joking?" ... "live music?" followed by sniggers and people having a laugh at my expense. It only stopped when somebody said "did you want to say that any louder?" when I expect they realised I was in earshot. It made me feel really uncomfortable, unwelcome and just went against the whole vibe of the place and the reviews I had read. I quickly finished my drink and left, I'm sure if you're a big group, or a regular, this would be an alright place, but as a person on your own I would absolutely give it a swerve... unless you want to be mocked by staff and openly talked about behind your back. We'll find somewhere else to eat / drink the next few months.

I’ve been coming to this pub for the last eight years, ever since I moved to Exeter, and it honestly feels like the end of an era. When it changed from private ownership to being part of a chain, there were already big differences, no more jugs of cider with syrup, a much smaller selection of local ales, but I still kept coming back because the atmosphere was so special. After the most recent refurbishment, though, the pub has been completely stripped of its personality. I understand that new electrics or bar improvements may have been necessary, but what made this place unique and cozy is simply gone. The warm, rustic feel has been replaced with something cold and clinical. Outside, the long benches and the iconic candles in the wine bottles are gone. Instead of soft yellow fairy lights, there’s now bright white glare that feels more like a waiting room than a pub garden. Inside, the rich red walls have been painted plain white, and all the quirky old furniture has been replaced with generic pieces you could find in any chain pub. It used to feel welcoming, cozy, and full of character, you could believe the stories that JK Rowling was inspired by the Old Firehouse when imagining The Leaky Cauldron for Harry Potter series. Sadly, no one would believe it now. Now it looks and feels like every other chain pub geared toward late-night student crowds. The magic, warmth, and individuality are gone. All that’s left is a generic shell. Unless they hang some TVs and turn it into a sports bar, it’s hard to imagine how it could lose any more of its former charm. I never thought I’d say this, but after so many years, I don’t see myself coming back. It’s just too sad to see what it’s become.

What a brilliant pub. The staff are so friendly, great atmosphere. We had a 14 inch sharing pizza. They are massive, delicious and great value for money. We are visiting from Wales. But it's a must visit pub

This place is brilliant. I don't know where you will find a better pizza, a better value pizza, a tastier pizza. The pizzas are 14" square, more than enough for 2 people. Decent price at around £20 and loaded with toppings. We shared a Cajun Chicken Pizza which was so tasty and stacked with Cajun Chicken, Pepperoni, ham and cheese. Absolute first class, with lovely staff and great service. Can't fault them.

Went there Sunday lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised by the new changes. They have kept the character and charm of the pub whilst adding some modern touches. The drunk chicken pizza was really nice and the selection of gins and beers on tap was great to see. I’m not in town very often but when I am, this will be my place to go for lunch. Isobel and Donna were very welcoming when we arrived

Staff is friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is great. An old beautiful building! And the pizza is delicious! Great selection of ale and cider!

This was Second Visit. Clean, Tidy, and a Well Run Hotel 🏨. Great Food 🥘!!. The Main Restaurant, is on the 8th. Floor. For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner 🍲. Also some Music 🎶 in the Evening. I had an Issue, with the Air Conditioning. They Changed my Room, Immediately !!. All the Staff Were Attentive. Thank You for S Great Stay!!.

Women's world cup match attended Good atmosphere. Reasonable refreshments, very friendly stewards.

My first visit to Sandy Park for the Women’s World Cup, it all went very smoothly. Caught train from Exeter Central Digby & Sowton Station then a gentle 15min walk to the ground. Stadium well layed out, comfortable and clean, good food concession even catered for my coeliac wife. Only downside we were not allowed to take metal drinking bottles in to the venue. Looked on Chief’s website and they allow metal water bottles,apparently the women’s World Cup organisers decided to change the criteria.They feared them being used as weapons, thus forcing us to buy plastic bottles. Advertising at the ground says refill not landfill pity authorities do not take more notice of their own publicity.I do not think 10,000 adolescent girls are really a safety hazard?

Great day out, fantastic atmosphere, good food choice options if a little pricey. Really pleasant staff that are very helpful and really help create the family atmosphere. The place is spotlessly clean and puts to shame some indoor venues I have been too. The only little negativity is the parking but that’s not a major problem.

Attended Sandy park as an away fan on a game day. Place was very welcoming, toilets very clean and plentiful. Lots of bars and food outlets to choose from (quite pricey but that's to be expected) Seating was spacious (in the West stand where we were seated) compared to other grounds I've visited. All in all a lovely day out, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a game day trip here.

A well laid out modern stadium. Easy to get to, with plenty of parking on site and within walking distance. The amenities within the stadium are well though out and are practical for a large crowd. Best of all are their own brand pasties, expensive but worth it. If you need to stay over, the nearby hotel is just the otherside of the shared carpark. We have now been twice in the passed couple of weeks for Women's Rugby World Cup games, and have had a fantastic time.

Thank you all at Sandy Park I attended womens world cup rugby today. Saw New Zealand Japan and France Brazil Well organised professional. All staff at all levels amazing.

Decent looked nice.It was relatively clean, but there was a couple unkept areas, and there wasn't enough benches or bins, and there was so little benches.We ended up having to sit on a small wall that had leftover cigarette buds and other rubbish stuffed in the corners. The view was pretty good and those nicole castle wall thing still relatively recommended if you're in the area

If you are looking for nice peaceful place to walk then don’t look anywhere else and come here. Very well looked after place by the local council. Central and close to the city and comfortable to eat your lunch within. Have seen many people having their lunch and reading book. Young students were having their picnic in the summer. Lush green park with awesome colourful wild flowers. Castle ruins are just next door thing. There’s a lot of reasons to visit this garden so just do it.

The oldest public open space in England. Lovely park in the middle of the city, beside Exeter Central Station and near to High Street. Free to visit. Calm and peaceful place to read a book, relax, or spend time with yourself, with nature or with family. Beautiful in the autumn. Clean. Impressive war memorial in the center. The gardens incorporate a stretch of Roman wall and the only length of Saxon town wall to be seen in England.

Nice elevated gardens adjacent to Exeter Central railway station, free to enter, huge impressive war memorial in the center, impressive views of the city. Likes - Quiet, Views, Memorial. Dislikes - not enough seating, unkept, Worth a visit though.

Nice peaceful place to walk, very looked after place by the local council.. super close to the city and comfortable to eat your lunch within.. can easily take a picnic in the summer..

A nice & beautiful place for relaxation. Garden is just near the exeter central railway station. Calm and quiet environment to sit for chit-chat . Entry to this place is free.

Calm place to have a walk. Neat park.

An interesting place! It was locked inside, but this part of the castle was still nice. There is also a beautiful park nearby. It was interesting to learn historical facts about it!

Went to see The Ibiza Orchestra here, it was a well organised event with friendly staff.

Had an exam here but the venue itself made it feel much more regal, and I can imagine how if an exam had this spectacle how a wedding or a ball must be, lovely place.

We were here for the food festival. Nice big area. Lots of seating.

What an amazing night for my bday reasonable price drinks and food

Historical building and grounds available to hire. Private residential apartments and an airbnb is available. Great venue for a party or wedding.

Historic Castle and former court in the centre of Exeter. It features two large function rooms and has an adjacent park, which adds to its attractions as a wedding venue.

Absolutely loved my visit whilst away with work. Took part in the “Nutters Club” session at Topsham pool. Enjoyed the rain whilst doing my swim session. The pool was a lovely temperature, the volunteers were really helpful from enquiry to my visit. I will be back! Couldn’t take a picture on poolside for obvious reasons but it looks exactly as seen online - great spot!

Very friendly staff very clean changing rooms and toilets. The pool is very clean and perfectly chlorinated. The pool was not too busy so great for a good swim . It has a shallow end perfect for small children then it is 3 m’s deep at the deep end . The price represents good value for a heated out door pool , £13 for 1 adult and 2 children .

My sister and I enjoyed a lovely swim today, Thursday 22nd August. The water was a perfect temperature for a swim. Only four boys to share the pool with at 2pm with a few more attending later on. We managed 30 lengths with very few obstacles. Really lovely pool to visit whilst on holiday.

It was a bit overcast today but don’t let that put you off. We attended a family session with a littering of floats for the kids. Started quite busy but the kids had an amazing time. The pool was a perfect temperature, not too cold. It’s 3m deep at the end so you can really get your dive on. Perfectly clean, polite staff and ample parking. Truly a gem in this beautiful little sea side town. Love it and will be back in the next couple of days while we are visiting friends.

No soap in the hand soap in the toilets despite us going in as soon as they opened. Only went this morning for the inflatable thing for my son to play on but it was split yet again !!!

Lovely and clean. Very warm water. Highly recommend

A fabulous heated outdoor swimming pool. Clean, tidy and with the friendly helpful staff. The morning “Nutters Club” is an inspiration! What a fabulous way to start the day!

Its ok. Nothing special. The outside looks better than the in. The staff were friendly enough, but the displays were very boring to me. It was good information, don't get me wrong. And the history was very interesting but I just think they should be displayed better as right now it is just large posters with information on. No artifacts or anything to add context or make more dynamic.

Very interesting to read about the history and watch the video presentation. Guide was also very helpful ☺️

In process of being decorated but still a fantastic old building.

The history of Exeter is presented in great 15 minutes movie in Custom House. The information center now is only here. A lot of leaflets with interesting places, maps, upcoming events for all ages can be found there. Friendly atmosphere, excellent attitude, remarkable history.

Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff! They have lots of information about all aspects of Exeter, maps and souvenirs, just to name a few.

Very historic place. Beautiful decorated ceilings. One of the oldest custom houses in England. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

I just go for the cannons outside, No seriously if you like to know about trading via the canal during the 13th and 14th century then this is the place to go. Staff are really friendly and helpful too.

A quiet and poignant place. It's redevelopment into a memorial is quite clever, although sadly a little run down at this stage. Despite this, it is rich in history and archaeology, and the ruins of the burnt out chapel make for an interesting visit. It is reasonably wheelchair friendly and has disabled access, although in some areas, the ground is uneven.

St Catherine's Chapel is a Grade II Listed Building in the centre of Exeter. The Chapel was built alongside the former Almshouses and is the most striking part of the ruins. Originally a two-storey building it is still standing to its full height, though of very small dimensions (about 6m by 3m) and now with no roof or windows. The Chapel eventually fell out of use and was later used as a carpenter's shop. The whole structure was destroyed by fire 4 May 1942 and the ruins remain as a War Memorial.

It's a very calm and serene place to be at. Makes you feel so much better on a sunny day. Definitely pay a visit when you're in Exeter.

This is a wonderful part of Exeter. Just behind the center of town. Just a special place to visit and gain and understanding of how the church influencing life in Exeter. I found this to be fascinating. I think you will enjoy this spot

Interesting area to walk through. Could do with the info being closer to the things on display and they need to clean the stones on the floor as they're difficult to read now.

Hopefully lit at night

Nice rest of old chapel

Went to see the Carole King Tapestry evening with songs from the Laurel Canyon era. The young band were all excellent musicians and the vocals were brilliant and the passion for the music of the era was obvious!! I had never been to the Barnfield before, but what a delightful venue!! All in all, a truly memorable evening!!

I went there for an audition for an acting role and I just wanted to review and say how lovely and warm the space was; especially the rehearsal room. The bar looked nice and a decent front desk as you come in. Lovely little theatre.

Friendly helpful staff. The building has some lovely features but the facilities could do with an update. Toilets cramped and over heated. Theatre seats dreadfully uncomfortable and really spoiled our enjoyment of the talk we went to see

1st visit to Comedy Store. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Unfortunately the first couple of acts the sound was quite distorted and I couldn't hear the jokes and punchlines. The last guy however was brilliant and hilarious

Great new year's eve spent here watching jack and the beans stalk. Apart from the actors for getting there lines or telling jokes there weren't really ment for kids. The chairs are very uncomfortable and very close together. I know it seems like I'm putting it down but all in all a very good experience. Friendly staff easy access, alright for parking.

Lovely old building with amazing ceiling. Cafe and bar. Staff are friendly and helpful. Set designs are amazing and the performances are perfect.

Fantastic theatre, really good staff. Just ask to go around to side entrance if you struggle with stairs as they can let you in there

(Translated by Google) Approximately 6.5 meter high stainless steel sculpture with various writing puzzles. (Original) Ca. 6,5 Meter hohe Edelstahlskulptur mit diversen Schrifträtseln.

A bit busy but a lovely place to visit. There were lots of different kinds of stalls, a real variety and lots of gifts that were quite reasonably priced all things considered. A lot better value than our local Christmas market in Bath. Apparently the huts there are really expensive, but this market is organised by Exeter Cathedral and are obviously more reasonable for businesses to hire a hut.

Loved the atmosphere at the market. Such a diverse range of shops to explore from and can't resist purchasing them! The food stalls were outstanding too!

Brilliant cathedral nice and big however some of it was closed off and yet the admission price is still the same no toilets disabled access available staff very friendly and knowledgeable very nice well worth the admission fee 👍 keep up the good work

It was early April when I visited, according to Google. It was all packed up, and even the grass had recovered. All the armed police had gone home, or back to London transport or wherever they go when not prowling Xmas markets. Just a little old cathedral left, and a tree where I used to sit in the shade on a sunny day, but that's roped off now. People can't dodge branches like they used to. Still nice, though.

This market has gotten better in recent years, with many local independent businesses being represented. It's nice to see something relatively different, and also at more price points for all budgets. Unfortunately it has been the victim of its own success so time your visit well if you're not good with crowds as it can become very claustrophobic when busy.

Really amazing crafts and art

Lovely Christmas market with plenty of variety and excellent food selection. Will definitely be back next year as the atmosphere is so good and it's never unpleasantly busy. Also, it's worth visiting the smaller stalls in the Chapter House courtyard.

Only paid a fleeting visit and were unable to gain entry to the church itself but a very attractive exterior.

My local church of England home for 11 years. So much history! Great for all ages. Lots going on. They help the local community. And there are dozens of events held in the hall!

I attended a Remembrance Service held at this location yesterday. It was organised by the staff of the Cooperative Funeral Service for the bereaved families who had used the CFS for their loved one's funerals. An excellent event for which one can only offer grateful thanks.

The Church inside and out is very nice and welcoming. The grounds are kept very well and there are some very good sized trees, including some more of the unusual ones such as a Turkey Oak and the Lucombe Oak. There is also a large Beech tree and quite a few Yew trees.

Lovely historical old church with pleasant green and mature church grounds. Bell ringing practice often heard with great delight from the tower, sounding all the way along the main road in St Thomas.

Visited the Community Hall to attend a coffee morning held by Coop Funeral Service for bereaved. Monthly event which is a great service by local Coop staff. 💜

A place to visit and worship the Lord and a time of prayer

Pretty big park so close to the centre - large areas and some more secluded ones. Good playground for a wide age range. Also some adult exercise equipment.

Typically park with circular path going around, basketball court, children's play area with swings, slides, monkey bars, etc, a community house to rent functions equipped with kitchen hall rooms and toilets. There are a few attractive exercise machines as well forming an outdoor gym. Good park for picnics, children's play, exercise and sports. It also hosts the Respect Festival every year.

Belmont Park in Exeter always seems to be busy & popular. Outside play area for kids, plenty of space for dogs to run. Lots of things happening here. Yesterday, two groups of dancers were performing.

A pleasant garden to walk around. Good playgrounds for children of all ages and outdoor gym equipment for adults to use. Sensory garden that would probably be enjoyable in spring and summer but not much to see in December, understandably. No public toilets in gardens.

Leafy, green, large fenced urban park area with play areas and multiple use options. Dogs allowed and most humans!!

Great local park with a community feel. There is an annual Music and Diversity festival with good food stalls call 'Respect', it's dry, and surprisingly good. Just a small charity donation to enter. It's held around the end of June.

Great space just looked alittle unkept the sensory part was a nice suprise

Lovely park, large fenced area around play park, and also fenced shallow paddling pool area. Lots of large picnic tables and beaches too. Cafe and toilets too. Spent a very pleasant afternoon here.

Fantastic playground, 3 paddling pools and cafe. Lovely day!! 👌

Large playing area, with a lovely swimming pool for kids. There are lots of picnic tables to seat. The playground is located inside a large green park. It has several tennis grounds and basketball field to play. There is a place for skate. Lovely plave to spend time and kids with all ages would enjoy here.

Living just around the corner we love to walk here every day. The park is kept tidy and is always busy with dog walkers, children in the pools and tennis. The hub is lovely to sit with a coffee and people watch and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Brilliant open space with lots of areas to walk and explore. Mini dirt track tennis, basketball hoops, bowling green, play park, splash pads (not currently working) to name a few. Cafe is fab too

Great playground, love that it has 3 small pools, could do with 3 more the otherside as they gets too busy in the summer holidays. Great field for a walk or game of football or others sports/ exercise. Parking is a little hard due to paid parking and it being alongside homes which also use the spaces.

Wonderful local park and play area with kids paddling pools open in summer. Next to the wonderful Park Life cafe.

Enjoyed a gift of a Spa Day starting with tea on the terrace, a really lovely attentive full body massage followed by a 2 course Spa Day Lunch with a glass of prosecco. Lovely few hours. Food was great and atmosphere very chilled.

Played here during a trip to Devon. Good open course with wide fairways. Damp conditions combined with slightly long grass impeded ball travel. Greens were in good condition for the time of year. Interesting to find a friendly group of Foxes in and around the 12th and 15th holes watching us play. Will be back to play the course again in better weather. Facilities very good for food and the Golf Pro shop well stocked.

Since joining the club it’s really made me fall back in love with my gym routine again. It’s a pleasure to come in, the facilities are immaculate, the staff super friendly and I love how you can come in during the day and work. Really great place. Caitlin Chard x

I held a luxury travel event in the Mews Room at the golf club and it was great. Very helpful team, great refreshments and the presenting facilities were spot on. The help I received when planning was also helpful too. Thank you to the team involved, I will be back!

The afternoon tea is fine and a good price. We were not given a choice about drinks other than basic tea or coffee. Nice restaurant area though, with lots of parking. The service was really poor, we were ignored upon entering, the food took 40 minutes to arrive and we weren’t visited again. No drink top ups, check ins, or opportunities to ask for the bill. In the end we cleared up ourselves and paid at the bar - and we were ignored there too!

Amazing staff throughout the whole areas of the club, beautiful well kept grounds, wonderful pools, both outdoors and indoors, always improving its premises. The food in the members bar and restaurant are very good and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

Great Sunday lunch, and decent service. Could've done with a wider range of gluten-free dessert options, but the main course was so generous I'm not sure I could've managed another course!

My first time in the stagecoach.. Normally I stand on the bank, my son wanted to come, so we chose to sit. Good view nice atmosphere! No swearing or songs about pl****th😉 the game........ Well😱

Have to say, I really enjoyed my visit to St James Park, as an away fan. Super organised, everyone cares. Got handed a voucher for a free cup of tea as soon as I walked through the turnstiles. Stewards were friendly, and cheerful. Young away fans were invited to get involved in the halftime activities. Prices for refreshments weren't horrendous. It's not the most luxurious of grounds, however it's one of the most welcoming I've been to, which made the experience enjoyable. Toilets are a portakabin, but we're reasonably clean. Home fans were welcoming as well Look forward to coming back

13th stadium ticked off ✅ Great stadium, the people in the museum were lovely and we chatted about Exeter FC and their match against Brazil in the 40s. The club shop was good, however shirts were pricey. I purchased a pin badge, two match day programmes, a water bottle and some goalkeeper socks for only £17.50 The only thing that I do not like about the stadium that it is extremely hard to find parking around the stadium. I would recommend getting a taxi down to the ground on matchdays so you won't have to deal with the hassle of attempting to find a spot

St James Park is a decent ground to visit as an away fan.

Poor atmosphere but a tidy little stadium, parking is decent and the stands are nice, the away end looks a bit poor but it does the job. A slight snare is In the family stand people seem to sit wherever they want.

First time visiting Exeter covering the Wycombe match, and the members of staff were very friendly. Lovely food, a great view and a nice ground surrounding by local houses.

Feels like home. Love the stadium and the atmosphere

Out standing company and customer support Dan at As water sports super knowledgeable Very good with customer service in shop bought couple boards from him last 2 years .bought last week red co compact 11 , never issue at ASwater sports dan always help with making sure what your buying is right great customer care .your looking buying board check out AS water sports good as well you can demo boards thanks Dan ASwater sport .

Great experience all round – excellent service, good canoes, and fair prices. We booked in the shop, and Dom was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole process took less than 10 minutes, and we had two canoes ready for four people the next day. On arrival, we got quick advice on where to go and what to avoid. The canoes were in excellent condition, and we had a lovely time paddling down the canal to the Double Locks pub for a pint and some food before heading back.

Needed to get a last minute item for a beach based holiday & they came up trumps with a quality product at a great price. It's easy to forget that we do still have a proper sports shop in Exeter having lost so many over the years but AS is the real deal.

Love this place! We bought the kokopelli moki ii in August 2020 and absolutely love it It was a big investment for us so we spent a very long time looking at this boat and being showed how it worked and what it came with. The chap that was helping us was so patient Staff are always very friendly

Recently popped in looking for open water swim Goggles and the guys introduced me to Orca Killa Comfort goggles - thank you. Great fit, super comfortable and the first goggles I have had that do not leak. Add to that superb vision and I can see me using these for while to come.

Recently purchased a new sea boat and cover from this shop, both items reasonably priced. The staff are really friendly and the service was superb. I will definitely visit again. Thank you!

This shop has everything you need for paddle sports. I was served by Dave, who was most helpful and knowledgeable, and even helped me load my new kayak on the roof of my car. It's nice to go to a shop where the staff are passionate about the goods they sale. I will be back shortly to purchase a new kayak for my wife.:-)

Beautiful place to fish, walk, cycle and birdwatch. The nature is amazing and it's lovely year round, but I especially recommend it in summer.

Great but not what I needed, the beach for the dog. The edge was not right for him to get in.

This is a wonderful place to walk and cycle. It has a good surface by the water, with views over the fields. In winter there are lots of birds to watch.

Lovely and peaceful for a walk on a Winter's afternoon

Nice walk along the towpath. Popular with canoeist and paddle boarders. Diversion currently in place if you wish to visit double locks follow the signs from the 'Basin' at the top of the Canal

I love the canal for paddle boarding. There's free parking with good access to launch and it's beautiful and serene on the water. You can hire boards and kayaks from the quay and then there's always the incentive of the Double Locks pub. Fantastic.

Lovely canal, enjoyed the 4mile walk along, past Double Locks pub, good pathways for walkers and cyclists, flat pathways and stony path on opposite side just for walkers.

Awesome, after a fantastic, fun welcome from our host we were given clear instructions and we were on our way, we had 2 teams trying to get out of identical rooms and we escaped within 10 seconds of each other close to the hour. The puzzles were taxing but not overly complicated and there were plenty of interactions where the results of our actions created a real buzz. We all left really happy and cant wait to return. Thanks again :)

Really fun. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Really fun activity for Teenagers and adults so perfect for good family activity. Sy hosted and was really helpful and great fun.

Took a team of 6 last weekend, who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves! We were greeted at the door promptly and looked after from beginning to end, even more impressive as the team was an excitable group of late teens....1 of the group is a big escape room fan and it certainly lived up to his expectations, we'll be back soon for sure!

We had an amazing time at Locked in a room Exeter, hosted by Jack and Amber! They were so kind, funny and attentive during our visit and really added to the atmosphere of our experience! We'd definitely like to revisit to try out the other room as we had so much fun completing Parallax and would love to try out 'Time lock'! Thank you both so much for such a fun time!

What a fab experience to share with friends. Corey was a fantastic host, really friendly and informative. It was all really well done, with enough clues and hints so the team felt they were progressing well. Totally recommend

Played the Timelock game here as a group of 9, split across two teams as part of our work Christmas party. Absolutely loved it. Excellent puzzles with just the right level of difficulty. The guy who played the part of the Scientist was very amusing, channeling a bit of The Crystal Maze's Richard O'Brien in the theatricality and enthusiasm of his part. Our host Emma was lovely, and explained clearly how everything worked before we entered the room. All in all, a polished set-up and a great experience. Very grateful to all involved, and would heartily recommend booking here to anyone.

amazing! had the best time, Jack was a great host!

We have activities here every summer with our students :) Can highly recommend!

Went with a school group. Staff are always very good with the children. Equipment is always excellent and great facilities for changing/showering. Update. Last event before Christmas, absolutely hammering down, so Christmas paddle was changed to caving and archery. Santa costumes provided for all, followed by a mince pie, hot chocolate Christmas song along in upstairs function room. Great effort thanks

We turned up on spec to hire a double kayak on Friday 2nd august. It was clean, the buoyancy jacket was in good shape, the staff were friendly. We are in our 69th year, and we paddled to double-lock Pub in 30 minutes. It was fun. Thank you Haven Banks!

I really enjoyed my time raft building, and surprisingly, the raft actually floated, which was nice. I didn't get wet. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It was great fun the whole time, and I would highly recommend paying a visit!

We came here with a group of Algerian students. The staff we're very friendly & patient with the students and the activites (wall climbing, canoeing & raft building) were all orangised and very fun. We had a great time and the students really enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend this training provider!

Great staff. Great price. Great communication. Great day out canoeing the Exeter canals for my brother's stag! Staff were so chilled and friendly! Thanks HB.

Absolutely brilliant place and fantastic staff. They couldn't be more helpful. We have had a brilliant SUP experience today and will be back. Thank you guys for being outstanding.

Both pools are clean and well managed by the team. I feel safe using them.

Love swimming outside. Very well organised and very friendly staff and swimmers.

Excellent meal in lovely surroundings.

Love the pool.

too many people.

Very limited hours 10.30 - 2 and hardly any food - staff chatting to each other and ignoring customers. A real let down in an excellent museum!
