Fun things to do in Rotherham: 18 fun attractions and activities

It was the 1st time we've been to Magna this weekend and we loved it. Lots to do and see, the big melt was amazing and got my 6 year old attention which is not easy to do. My sons favourite floor was the water floor and he was drenched when we came out of it. Luckily we had a towel to hand but it was good fun. We had a mix of a picnic and food from the cafe (the cafe food is expensive). The playground adventure had lots for all ages and my partner even went on the zip line too. The water park looks lovely but my boy said it was too cold to go in.

An absolutely epic place for kids and adults alike! So interactive and interesting it kept us all entertained for hours. I loved the set up representing the 4 elements earth, wind, fire and water plus I found the big melt interesting (a little jumpy for my 2 year old). The outside park was huge and if we lived closer we would be there all the time! They had standard play area equipment but standpits I couldn't get my 2 year old out of and a water park I couldn't get my 5 year old out of! 100% recommend and we will be going back!

Went to the Magna science centre today and it was great. The exhibition was interesting, interactive and quite inspiring. The place is massive but it felt full of interesting things to do and look at. I felt like I was on red dwarf at one point haha. My niece enjoyed it and got involved. The cafe is ok, there are plenty of toilets and there is also a good park outside. The bonus is that you pay once and get an annual pass free, fantastic!

We got there very early, highly recommend getting there for opening time. It is quite dark so be aware, it can be quite noisy so if you have a sensor problem with sound take ear protection. There are plenty of interactive things to do, you will be very entertained, great for all age groups, we went with a toddler and he love all of it ( not the noisy parts of course) They have toilets on every floor and seats for you to rest on every floor and entrance. They have a cafe with plenty of seating they also have a specific packed lunch area too with is different and nice. The food prices where good not expensive at all. They have a large outside play area with a dry part and wet part. Be prepared for your kids to gey wet. Bout indoor and out. Best are is the year round ticket

Absolutely fantastic day out! Can't wait to visit again. The park and splash pad outside is a day in itself. Our 18 month old loved running round and all the interactive things. Cafe was nice, staff friendly. Only thing I'd say to improve was the baby changing facilities were a bit rough and would be nice to have some stations dotted round to refil water bottles. Otherwise really recommend Magna!

Went today with a 10 year old. He started off looking bored, but after 4 hours had to drag him out! Very good value for money. The exhibitions were great, but often too dark to see the words on the exhibits. Cafe was ok, long queues at busy times and slow service. The “Big Melt” was a little disappointing to start with but got better, although a lot of small children were taken out screaming - it’s very loud. We then were invited to tour the factory floor - probably just those with older kids- I loved it, but it went on a bit too long, just looking at rusty old machines. Be aware, it’s very cold, it’s a cavernous steel shed with no heating, it’s often rather dark and uneven floors, and the Water exhibit is, quite wet ! Outside the adventure playground is huge and suitable for a wide age group, very clean and well maintained

Wow, absolutely amazing day! If I'd read other reviews before buying tickets I may not have gone but what a mistake that would have been. Went with a 9 and 10 year old and they enjoyed every minute. So many interactive things for them to do and so much to see. We could have stayed much longer, will definitely make use of the annual pass! The outdoor play area and water area is brilliant and a day out in itself. How anyone says they got round the museum in an hour is beyond me. I couldn't get the kids out! Was definitely not cold anywhere although im sure thats different in winter months but I'd happily wrap up to go back.

A good day out looking at the gardens and museum. There's more to see than you might think. Friendly staff and excellent cakes in the café.

We had our wedding there and it was lovely. The staff where very helpful and friendly

Really nice local museum specific to the Rotherham area. We met a very knowledgeable guide who pointed out specific objects and explained their history to the family. Nice cafe space with outdoor seating (and ice creams) on a hot day. Beautiful park with lots of things to see and do if you want a longer day out.

Its still fine but its missing the museam part, there's so much over the years that used to be there, that now isn't, there's also rooms upstairs about woman empowerment, that parts just stupid, its a museum.. they need to get a grip with those rooms and repurpose them.

We went yesterday and the museum was really clean but we was disappointed at the lack of old items like it was before. . Like the courtyard has gone with the penny farthing the kitchen has been opened up my kids loved going round the museum looking at that and the old nursery and the old plates crockery etc but sadly it has gone to other displays now which doesn't really interest the grandkids

Great Park and not busy during weekday. Playing equipment and huge sand area a bonus. The mini rides for kids within Clifton Park are also great with friendly staff (you purchase a top up card which is scanned for each ride so no messing with change). Food place provides bog standard yummies and ice cream van there too who could ask for more 😊 We'll worth a good day out.

Nice looking building in a great park, staff welcoming, actual rooms and interior a bit basic but interesting, but made up for by the various displays throughout, quite child orientated, though plenty to keep an adult entertained. 5 stars because of the cafe, my jacket potato was 10/10, delicious, give that girl a raise !! Coffee good and cakes looked fantastic but I was too full to indulge. Well done all.

Open one Sunday a month so you have to plan your visit, but you can pay on the door and the ticket price includes a free bus journey. I brought my 2 year old and he loved seeing all the vehicles. Also 2 coffees and 2 pastries in the cafe was around £7

This museum is fantastic. All the displayed vehicles are in amazing condition. Loads to see. The staff are a credit to the museum. So friendly and knowledgeable. Our company held an even at the museum last week and it was so well run.

We hired an old bus from the SYTM for our wedding this weekend. They helped us out last minute after our original supplier pulled out and they were fantastic. The 2 chaps that came out with the bus were lovely. The bus was dressed for us which was a lovely touch also. All the guests were aboard and had a great time as well. Thank you so much SYTM.

Had a fantastic day at the running day. Lovely to meet all the ppl who volunteered there and Dave the rottie

Whatever your interest, there is something for you. Local history, bicycles, prams, motor bikes, milk floats, tram, train, carriages, trucks, buses, coaches, memorabilia. Well worth a visit, enjoy the exhibits and relax in the cafe.

Nice place to visit love to go at least once a year and see the bus my dad passed his pcv on

Really well run and a great day out. The staff are mostly volunteers and are really knowledgeable. The cafe is lovely and they offer a range of coffee, soft drinks and cakes.

It looks a lovely building, and I really wanted to see inside. I was disappointed it was closed, especially as all the online information said it was open from 10.00-12.00 on Saturday.

Quite an interesting experience. We took gran kids to see Museum of the Moon. I would highly recommend a visit. PS you have to book, it's FREE!!

Nice. Really good to visit. A lot of interest history to be found. Unfortunately showing signs of untidy neglect and could do with some attention. No-one in sight when we visited. Check times before visiting. Not open much really.

Impressive from the outside. Found one info board in the surrounding area about an old pub next door that was demolished. Not open when I was there around 10am.

Visited on the 19th August for the Thomas Rotherham exhibition. I joined the tour of the Bell tower which was amazing. Malcom was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. So was the warden Richard. The church is an amazing place well worth a visit.

Beautiful building. Visited when in Rotherham for the first time. Monday afternoon about 2pm, was able to access the Church for quiet and private prayer. There is no holy water available by the main entrance door (or anywhere I saw inside). Also, have to say I do not think they reserve the sacrament (couldn’t see any sanctuary lamps at the high Altar or chapel) which is a shame. The presence of Christ would have been welcome for my prayers. Did not attend a Mass / Eucharist service but would like to.

Museum Of The Moon - sound bath (event) Enjoying a relaxing sound bath under the moon! Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. Sound baths are a meditative practice involving the use of resonant music. This creates an immersive sound that fills the space, and the body, aiming to help people relax and let go of stress, anxiety, or other worries and concerns. People report feeling deeply relaxed after sound baths, which may have health benefits. This event was part of a day of programming by WOW Rotherham.

Went for a party for my son’s birthday and can say it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were lovely and interactive with all the children and made my little boy feel so special. A big thank you to the lady hosting tonight as she did amazing, ensuring to keep everything on track and the children in order whilst making sure it was fun. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Worth every penny so thanks Camelot

What a wonderful birthday party experience we had for our son’s 5th birthday this weekend. The host put her heart and soul into greeting, entertaining the children at dinner time and disco time, had the whole room in laughter and engaged and honestly did everything she could to make it an enjoyable experience for the birthday boy and his family but also individual guests throughout the night. I honestly could not have asked for anymore and this place has clearly made a fabulous impression on children coming to their parties time after time as my son asked specifically to have his party here after being a guest at other parties and he felt very special. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts we will remember this party forever and in certain we’ll be attending plenty more as guests!

My son had his 4th birthday here. He loved it! The staff were brilliant.. incredibly entertaining. Many parents commented on how good the party was. Brilliant value for money. Party bags and hot food included. Definitely recommend!!

Had my twins 6th birthday and can say it was absolutely fantastic. The party host Gemma was out of this world she got all the children involved and made my twins day really special A big thank you to you Gemma as she did amazing, ensuring to keep everything on track and the children in order whilst making sure it was fun. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Worth every penny so thanks Camelot

My kids just had a birthday party at camelot and wot an amazing time they had. Gemma was amazing. Highly recommend her espaecially when it comes to children with special needs

Granddaughter had her 4th birthday party and the kids loved it, with the staff extremely attentive to the kids as well as the adults.

Really good birthday. Better interaction than the big players

We have had my son's birthday party today and he has loved it. Ellie our party host was brilliant and so helpful. Checked we had everything we needed, and nothing was an issue for them. All the staff were so friendly and we would definitely recommend!

Monkey Bizness is honestly one of the best places to take the kids. There’s loads for them to do, it’s always clean, and you can actually relax a bit while they run around and have fun. Beth and Elisha are brilliant – always friendly, always helpful, and just genuinely lovely people. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and it really makes a difference. Also, I’ve got to mention the iced caramel lattes – they’re surprisingly good. Definitely a bonus while the kids burn off some energy.

The place is very well equipped and very clean. The trouble is the staff. Our son is an 8 year old autistic non verbal boy who helped himself to balloons that were displayed near reception. Unfortunately one of the staff told my wife we needed to keep a closer eye on him. Not very thoughtful words to an already burned out frought SEN mom. We weren't made to feel very welcomed by the staff. They should be more inclusive and autism aware. It's difficult enough with a disabled child and staff making comments like that isn't helpful at all

We love Monkey Bizness so much, it’s our favourite soft play in the area! We come once a week and my daughter (20 months) loves it and always has done! Such a good wide variety and they are allowed in the bigger section whilst supervised so lots of opportunities for fun! ☺️. It’s really clean and the staff are constantly sweeping up which is so refreshing to see! The staff are also really friendly ❤️ Also the food is really nice! Some soft plays have boring standard kids food and MB is so much nicer! We love the pizzas and the cakes 😍 Lastly, you can buy a balloon sword at the end! Which is usually how I bribe my daughter to leave 😂. See you next week!

We had our daughter’s 4th Birthday party here on Friday. It was really easy to book, the choice of packages were clear and the staff on the day were lovely. Our party host, Nikkie was a god send! 13 kids at our party and she handled everything. All the food, drinks, sorting out the cake, cutting the cake and popping them into party bags. Gathering the kids to sit down and eat. Everything. Fantastic party host - thanks again Nikkie The party food was better than expected: all the kids seemed to enjoy it. The unlimited dilute was great too as they were all very thirsty running about in the play area. All in all, my daughter and her 12 friends had a fantastic time and it went very smooth for us as parents as everything was taken care of.

Excellent experience here. Had a 7-year olds party at MB, Sheffield for 18 kids. It was well managed and stress-free. Lots of time for the kids to play, plenty of juice provided and nice private party room with lovely food (pizza and chips were really good!) The cake is cut for you and put into party bags - such a helpful thing! The kids had such a nice time. I feel like the adults were pretty relaxed too with easy access to teas, coffees and food at the cafe. Our second party here, highly recommend. Staff were lovely - especially our party host, Ellie, who was really kind, efficient and lovely with the kids. Thanks Ellie!

We had our daughters birthday party here at the weekend. The kids loved it, and had so much fun! The staff are very friendly, and nothing was ever to much trouble. Dan, the assistant was amazing, I contacted him on several occasions, and he made sure that all the requirements we had were catered too!

Attended today with my mother for the first time and upon arrival , there was a customer signing up. Two staff members were on the front desk, one was serving the lady and the other did not acknowledge us. Staff on reception were not welcoming or friendly. Wouldn’t hurt to smile. The changing rooms were for both genders and the smelt was quite unpleasant. The smell of poo/ urine hit our nostrils as soon as we entered. There was a nappy in a changing cubicle on the bench that I walked into which was not great. We only got to use the sauna for 3mins and were told shortly to leave, not sure if this had anything to do with a school swimming session. The pool water was quite warm. With the amount of filth, you would think that you could smell some Chlorine in the pool, but we couldn’t smell any at all which was quite worrying considering the hygiene levels do not appear to be the best. I thanked the staff on my way out and was ignored. As previous reviews have stated, cleanliness of the leisure centre needs improvement and staff should try improve on their customer service skills. Not sure if I will attend again.

Great facility at a very reasonable price. We took our grandson swimming. The only improvement I would recommend would be to add a few more family changing rooms as there are only 3 and we did have a fair wait.

Changing rooms absolutely stink like sewerage. They don’t tell you at reception or any signs saying you need a pound coin for locker. Had to bring toddler back through to reception in swim wear to ask for a coin but they said take your bags swimming with you instead. Floors need a really really deep clean it stinks. I won’t ever come here again

The reception staff are incredibly rude. We've been using this for over a year now with zero improvement in customer service. The changing rooms never seem to be clean with litter all over the place and a strong smell of urine and faeces. This is a community pool and portrays a very poor image of Rotherham Borough Council.

Staff on reception are more interested in chatting to a cleaner than someone looking to visit . Left after 10 minutes. Suggest you close it down and save our council tax paying their wages.

Absolute dog toffee this place.. I take my niece here for her swimming lessons, which are always late.. there's no real structure or progression to the lessons. And to add insult to injury, the reception staff are down right ignorant. Cancelling the membership, they don't deserve a penny.

It's a dull place generally and the water in the big pool is barely heated. I get so cold I have to go in the sauna to warm up. Miserable staff. People get in your way in lane swims all the time. Also very creepy mixed changing rooms and showers, not comfortable or relaxing.

Probably the saddest, most depressing place I have visited. Strewn with pollution and rubbish, not pleasant and not well looked after. There is an interesting steel henge sculpture at the top but I'm surprised this place isn't biologically dead with all the rubbish strewn in the water and leeching in from the surrounding industrial businesses.

Sadly the site is neglected for whatever reason. There used to be a large maintained pond on the top bit with a walkway for dipping, but the liner has been pulled away and of course we've had drought but had the pond been maintained, the sticklebacks may have survived. They were left in one small pool under the lily pad but it's just mud now and all the snails and the fish are dead. I know ponds have their cycles, but this has been deliberately destroyed and so it had no chance. Like so many projects, they get funded initially but can't be kept up. Sad.

Lovely hidden nature reserve in the centre of Rotherham. It was very muddy around the lake which is to be expected as it is part of the flood plane for the river Don and we have had a lot of rain. The upper path was much better and has lovely views over Rotherham. Our dog enjoyed the walk round too. The steel henge and deck chair sculptures add interest. Looking forward to going in the summer when the wild flowers are in bloom. Bonus was seeing a beautiful kestrel fly over our heads.

Small nature reserve situated on old steel works . It's not huge but it's a pleasant enough, there are significant signs of wildlife, I saw traces of rabbits and foxs, going on the amount of rabbit droppings there must be a significant population. The sculptures are nice and use the remains of the steel production in the area.

Great little place to walk the dogs although I don't recommend going after heavy rain it is after all a flood plain and the lower part is prone to flooding

Lovely place for a nice walk. No signposts, no advertisements and Satnave tries to make you walk over a railway track that's fenced off. Absolute nightmare to find.

Love this place I take my dog for 25 minute walks and take my telescope at night for darkness, it's peaceful, clean and quiet and if you do go and see a bit of rubbish just pick it up and put it in nearest bin, last time I went there was only 1 McDs cup, its lovely

Me and my daughter regularly go here in the VIP lane as she is autistic and I am dyslexic. ADHD and we absolutely love going there in the VIP lane they bring drinks over to you and then we go in the arcade after it’s a perfect little day and doesn’t break the bank also, if you have disabilities, you get a discount for Bowling. Just scroll to the bottom when paying online and click that option do not forget or take evidence with you if paying at the venue .

Love this place! There was a total of 10 of us we wasn't rushed it took a while to get through 2 games. We ordered drinks through the app and they came so quickly, no need to que at the bar. Always a working walking about if you need anything.

I had an amazing experience at this location, with two team members really standing out. The lady at reception went above and beyond to assist us, ensuring we had all the information we needed and making us feel completely at ease. Another staff member was equally helpful and engaging. Both were attentive, friendly, and made our visit so much more enjoyable. It's been a long time since I've experienced such great service, and I would happily return. The staff made the day absolutely perfect!

So today I went to Hollywood bowl to have a bacon burger when we walked everything was normal then when they served the food they forgot the cheese and bacon so we went up to say you forgot to put the cheese and bacon on and showed the receipt for proof then a few minutes Minutes later he gave us the cheese and bacon then when I took my first bite the bacon was pink and raw then I almost chocked on a piece of the bacon. And struggle to breathe so it took me A minute or so to spit it out then as we was about to leave we saw an employee with a black cooking outfit And he smashed A glass bottle by accident and that was the same guy who cooked the bacon which was raw if you were going to get a Bacon burger, I would highly not recommend coming to Hollywood bowl and instead go to Burger King or McDonald’s

Loved it we had fun once we'd actually got on the lane, too few staff but apparently that's the norm, never any about when needed, too long a queue even though we booked to 2 o'clock on a Tuesday (school hols) we didn't get to the lane til 2.15 due to the queue and only 1 staff available on the till. Hollywood bowl pay your staff more than blooming minimum wage and you may get them to stay longer and/or more sfaff

Great atmosphere, lovely staff especially on main counter. Crew member was a bit arsey when we finished our games on the VIP lane. Literally jumping down our throats to move on and clear our stuff when last ball was barely rolled. Need to check that sh!t guys. Only thing that ruined my experience with my kids on a night out. Less likely to come if that's how crew members think that's how you talk and treat people. Aside from that it was great.

They advertise that they close at 11pm so we went to play in the arcade however they had closed the change machine 40 minutes before they closed. They wouldn’t even open the till to let us get change this is unfair on the customers who want to play . It shouldn’t be shut that soon before closing the blonde girl and curly brown hair boy were not understanding and I’m deeply upset at this service.

Reagan, Steve and the team are amazing. The go above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly. We recently ran a radio controlled car race meeting here and it was awesome. The Bench Buddy Arena is a fantastic, versatile venue. The food is great value and served with a smile. What more can you ask for. I look forwards to our next event.

Never been before until today and heard great things. Needs better signage on building or on fence outside as easy to drive past. Sadly price had gone up significantly but no notifications of price change on social media or online. Still had cheaper price at the till my friend questioned it to be told it had just gone up. Skate hire Fab no problem Ring great Clean near ring Lots of dumped bags everywhere so could use some lockers or hooks. We did skate and eat. Cafe was rammed and small lots of people sitting without food or drink. Lots had left rubbish everywhere despite signs and bins. Food freshly cooked so make sure you factor that in. Chips were nice. Slush or Fruit shoot included Good selection of cakes My daughter enjoyed chocolate cake. Service changed alot depending who you got in cafe. Girl with dark hair was great. All round kids loved it would go again. Needed to open up seating upstairs would have been great.

Had a kid's birthday party here recently. Super staff, kids had a great time

Great place. We visited for a kids party. And my son loved it. A nice big skating ring. And the food was lovely too!

Always love to visit here. Very good value for money even more so with a groupon deal. Nice little cafe reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend

Kids loved it! Great atmosphere. Going back again next week.

An unassuming industrial unit that hides a wonderful roller skating arena and public rink. The staff are friendly and helpful and the cafe is excellent. They cater for parties of all ages, private functions and even football parties. They have several pre-organised functions throughout the year such as ladies nights or Halloween parties. Thoroughly recommended.

Cheap fun family day out, they have 2 x 18 golf courses to choose from, downstairs is the beach course and upstairs which we chose is the Aztec jungle course, for both adults and children and each hole isn’t too difficult and completely different from the next which is always good. Discounted price if you pay to do both of the 18 holes so 36 total on the same day.

This was a superb venue for golfing, where me and my friend got a 2 for 1 crazy golf deal along with 50% off for user of a tram ticket! One of the courses is based on a temple and begins with boxes as you move on up, followed by statues that represent the temple. The jungle course is exciting as it goes along a peaceful setting, featuring different decorations that imitate nature and some holes even have obstacles to navigate around! Golf clubs are available right away at reception, staff were really nice too.

I’m disappointed that I’ve had to give this visit 3 stars instead of 5 but had it spoiled by one of the staff members. Alex (I’m gathering by the name badge) is quite frankly one of the rudest and most incompetent customer service workers I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with. She was rude, dismissive and generally unpleasant to deal with. She ignored me and my husband upon arrival and I had to loudly greet her to get her attention as she was too preoccupied staring at a computer screen to be bothered serving. Through the whole interaction she was loudly sighing, snapping at us and slamming around items on the counter top and seemingly doing her best to drive away business. Whenever we tried asking any questions as we had never been before the receiving glare just wasn’t worth the hassle. Despite this awful experience the course we chose was fun and had a great level of difficulty that I’d recommend for all ages. Truly the only thing that saved the visit was the other member of staff that we interacted with Niamh who appeared to be the manager on duty at the time. In comparison to her colleague she was incredibly polite and enthusiastic when interacting with us and answered several questions that we asked (about their party and group offers) to an outstanding level, she went above and beyond to help us and it helped change my opinion on the visit. Although I didn’t raise a grievance about the other staff member at the time I hope some proper training can be given to staff about how to properly interact with a person and not treat them as an inconvenience when trying to have a day out.

Never posted about booking process before - But Claire (I think the manager) was helpful and polite. She made the ease of booking a fairly large event seem easy seamless. Great customer service

I decided to book here because we were staying at Gullivers and wanted something to do after closing. We arrived slightly earlier than we booked but got straight in. The girl on the front was friendly and welcoming. Playing the first couple of holes, I thought there was an issue with the course, as it seemed uneven, But after a few more we realised it was supposed to be like that and made the rounds more challenging, which is what you want. Both courses were fun to play, the themes were good too. It wasnt too busy either, so didnt feel the need to rush our turns. Next time Im in Sheffield I will definitely come back here.

I recently visited this golf facility featuring a relatively small course designed for young players. While the concept and layout are suitable for kids, the venue suffers from a serious lack of ventilation. The indoor environment is extremely hot and humid, creating uncomfortable and at times almost suffocating conditions. This issue was noticeable during my first visit in the winter, when guests were already struggling with the air quality. Unfortunately, my second visit in the summer proved even more challenging. I strongly recommend that the management address this problem by installing a proper air-conditioning system or significantly improving the ventilation. Without these changes, the experience is likely to remain unpleasant for both children and accompanying adults.

Not very good at all. The money these charge is crazy. Far too over priced. Most of the holes are the same, no air con and nothing special at all. Go somewhere else rather that here. We got a deal using another site so it was around half price and I still feel robbed.

Really interesting stop. Maybe an hour's visit. It's free and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a talk about the history, a guided tour and a visit to the roof which has amazing views across Rotherham and Sheffield. As I say, it's free and the parking is free. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended

Had never been but glad we did. The views from the castle are great but go to the viewing platform on the roof and Rotherham and Sheffield stretch before you. Amazing trying to figure out what you can see. Well worth a visit. Staff can also fill you in on the history. One of Rotherham's little gems that is so easily overlooked. Worth walking through the grounds and the cemetery just down the hill is worth a walk around. Includes war graves

Boston Castle is now a small visitor attraction with historical information and displays on the history of the Castle, an interactive touch screen, and children’s costumes and games. Large hard standing car park and free parking There is also access on request to a Roof Top viewing platform for visitors to enjoy expansive views of Rotherham and Sheffield. Boston Park covers just over eight hectares and is situated at the end of Boston Castle Grove. At the side of the park is Canklow Woods, an ancient woodland area. Boston Park was Rotherham’s first public park, and was opened on the 4 July 1876 to mark the centenary of the American Independence.

Definitely worth a visit to this little castle if you're in the area. Fantastic views. The castle is closed over winter but you can still see much of the view from outside. Boston park is nice.

Visited Boston castle on Tuesday and must say it would be great if more people took the time to go.i took a close family member who has Dementia hoping for a trip down memory lane, was not disappointed. The people who give their time to share the history are only too happy to help 😊 please use this so we don't loose it 😊

Lovely knowledgeable guides, got a tour of the museum floor and a trip to the roof terrace to look at the view. Well worth a visit

Absolutely lovely place to visit. The guides are so knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth a trip out

Terrible park must be the worst in Nottingham so sad to see 👀 😢 poor kids mine won't be there again avoid Definitely people

Good clean modern play park. Trampolines were a nice surprise.

Great local park which has recently been updated. Lots of apparatus and green space.

A large field in Carlton with mid sized football goals for older children and a play area with swings / slides etc for younger ones. Seems to be well maintained

This place is ideal to take the kids to play on the park also good to walk the dog

Nice little park for kids upto 8yrs.

We always went to play basketball and Footie when the kids were younger

To attend Wath leisure centre you can either have one of a number of different memberships or pay as you go. They have a large number of exercise classes, a gym & two pools (main & small/teaching). The main pool has general swims and lane swimming sessions. Lane swimming starts early at 6.15am which is great for anyone wanting to get a swim in before work. The changing & shower facilities are mixed but there are group male/female rooms if needed. There are separate male/female toilets. There is a gallery where you can sit and watch the teaching pool & there are vending machines and the option to buy hot drinks from reception. They always have a good selection of swim wear & accessories on sale too. Staff are friendly, the pool always has a lifeguard on each pool and whenever I've been for general swims there is the radio on. The lifeguard pays attention and pulls up any untoward behaviour in the pool. There are lockers which accept a pound coin or same sized token with keys that strap like a watch strap for safety. They have mixed size where you can get at least 3 people's worth of stuff in the large locker and a smaller version. There are also mixed size changing cubicles with changing facilities at the back of the changing room. In the showers there is a disabled seat and shower section and there is a wheelchair accessible entrance in the foyer. I haven't noticed what other disabled access facilities they have. The changing rooms have two hair dryers plus blow dryers that can be redirected to face/hair too.

I went here with my friends and family and I had the worst time of my life. I was told off for doing safe things that was no issue at all I jumped on the pool like the rules said and I got a warning Also the one with the beard kept looking at my friend suggestively and kept looking away when spotted

Very busy, took kids to have swimming lessons here, there's simply not enough seats and room, there's parents that just sit in the changing room throughout the kids lessons and blocking other people, after the lesson, kids are literally queuing to take a shower while shivering, the staff should probably move parents away from changing room, and not let them just sit there. Also it's disgusting that people just leave items in the changing rooms and "claim" it so other people can't use it while they are waiting for their kids to finish swimming and shower

Great little centre. I only use the gym Which is very clean and has sufficient equipment It is a little small but I go early so perfect for me Nice staff Good showers Nice pool Would get 5start but opens at 6.30 which makes getting to work a push Plus gym small But they do everything very well

Membership options are great and recommended if you plan to use regularly. The gym is not often full and there are gym classes to book on the app. The pool is clean and well maintained. My only issue is that the water is normally quite cold.

Swimming pool good, enjoyed it,, counter staff in reception rude, arrogant, will never set my foot in reception again.

My daughter was already having swimming lessons at the metrodome in Barnsley however I live at Mexborough so I thought I would move her to Wath as it was closer for me. Anyway she had completed stage 5 at metrodome so she had just moved up to stage 6 and thought this was the ideal time to do the switch. She had her first lesson at Wath and the swim teacher seemed to be loud mouthed and came across as a drill Sargent not a swimming instructor for a 9 year old child. Anyway on the day she had my daughter swim up and down doing lengths and then a 50 metre swim up and down non stop which she did without any issues. I was actually quite proud of her and at the end of the lesson I decided to have a quick word with the teacher and she said well in my opinion her breathing was not right and she would struggle in stage 6 and wanted to put her back to the beginning of stage 5 which she had already done and had the cerficate to prove this. This was all said in front of my daughter and upset her. I cancelled the lessons and moved her to dearne valley which is in denaby and guess what she is now at 42% through stage 6. So my gut instinct was right you lot at Wath are money grabbers and should be ashamed of yourselves! Also when I arrived with my daughter at Wath another little boy came out of the lesson crying I really would not recommend Wath swimming lessons at all.

We visit the library regularly. It's one of my 5 year olds favourite places

I am loving my time here so far. recently started swimming and the pool is great. the staff are so friendly. everywhere seems very clean and tidy. I also recently have taken a yoga class and the instructor was really helpful and understanding :)

Just swim Friday evening, total waste of money. 15 or so boisterous teenagers. No respect. Advice to staff please let people know before purchasing a ticket that you may come out with few bruises due to a big group wanting to wrestle in the pool. Health and Safety, just saying.

Went here for the family swimming pool, it was very relaxed, the floor wasn't too deep and the water was at a good temperature, plenty of lifeguards present at all times. For 2 adults and a child it was just under £16 which is excellent value. Overall a wonderful experience

Lovely facilities and the activities are at super convenient times. The interactions that I had with the staff members were very pleasant and the group I attended with agreed that they wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Always very friendly staff, reasonably clean, just wish there were a few more classes that weren't virtual!

Friendly staff, great pool, everything is kept clean too which is always a bonus.

Just came with some of my friends and got kicked out with in 20 mins for not buying a drink. The women behind the counter not going into detail (the slightly more visible human) ordered us to buy an extremely overpriced drink and kicked us out for not buying one even though one of us bought one but she insisted us all to have buy one as it’s apparently a “business”. A bismal.

Love coming here to play pool and snooker, staff are very accommodating and helpful! They will put sports on the tv if nothing is happening. The manager Karen, and bar member Joanne are incredibly lovely people and very helpful! The drinks aren’t overly expensive and it doesn’t attract the ‘riff raff’ so is a pleasant atmosphere to drink and play games. I personally will be coming here regularly to play pool and have drinks.

kicked us out because we didn’t buy a drink after 20 minutes of being there even though we did buy one but that still wasn’t enough. absolutely ridiculous

Lovely establishment lovely staff Joanne and Karen really made us feel welcome, asked for darts on the tv and got it all night, great

Never knew this place existed before tonight. Great space. Pleanty of tables and the girls behind the bar were lovely even though the place was busy and they were rushed off their feet all evening. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Expensive drinks, didn’t change my drink when I couldn’t taste vodka and expected me to pay for a new drink if I wanted a different one even tho couldn’t taste the vodka and wasnt proper red bull, for 2 vodka red bulls came up to £13 and tasted like red bull. Not good bar staff. Also found something black in the drink.

Wasn't too bad to be honest easy to get to by bus, bit expensive by the hour especially if 1 game lasts more than an hour, just reminds me of the old days playing snooker at a working men's club or the back of a cricket field to make use of space, would of liked to have seen areas of improvement such as possibly a snooker club for beginners upwards with amount of tables it's very do-able. Not like the old days and seems like a dying sport 😕

Bright Stars is simply amazing. I’ve tried the sensory, massage and yoga classes which have all been fabulous, as are the one off events like photoshoots and workshops. I’ve met some of the loveliest mum friends here too, and I can’t thank Caroline and Molly enough for the endless laughs and welcoming atmosphere. ❤️

Would definitely recommend Bright Stars Play Space! Having a baby is such an overwhelming experience but bright stars is so welcoming, never rushed after a class, even better you can stay for a coffee. Brilliant to meet other parents. The classes are brilliant, we've done welcome to the world, which is a great taster of all the sessions with tips of what to do with your baby at home. I've also met friends in the play space, yummy cake and a warm drink, whilst the babies can play and are safe. We can't wait to start aquatic Nurture and baby sensory in the new year. Thank you for making the first weeks enjoyable and a lot easier.

Bright Stars was my first place I attended with my little girl when she was 4 weeks old and it was everything I could have ever asked for and more. As a first time mum I was petrified to go to classes on my own as I had never done anything like this before however Bright Stars and Caroline made everything so much easier and perfect. I really lacked confidence and being in a class with Caroline, made me feel relaxed and calm. She is ace with my little one, everyone is so approachable, loving and caring. You can tell this is not just a business it is a family and a home. This comes across in every class they do, every interacting I have ever had with them all. I walked in petrified and I now have friends in Caroline and lots of other mums and babies I've met along the way. We cant get enough and keep going back for different classes so we get to experience everything. I can't thank Caroline and Bright Stars enough for everything they have done for me, my little one and filled my maternity leave with wonderful experiences and memories. Hayley x

As a first time mum, this place has been a godsend. I've met so many amazing mums, some like me and others being seasoned mums that are just full of helpful advice. Everyone is so friendly and whether it's Molly, Caroline or a fellow mum, I know that I can rely on Bright Stars to be full of positivity, encouragement and support. It may have started out as us just going to baby massage, but now I'm going to really miss everyone when I return to work, but I know that I will return at every opportunity! Roll on Saturday classes!

We did the baby massage course at bright stars and it was brilliant. I ummed and ahhed about doing baby massage as friends had said their classes (with different providers) were poor. Bright stars was nothing like their experiences and we really enjoyed it. We've just started baby sensory and will probably have a go at baby yoga after that. Caroline is really lovely, knows what she's doing and we even got little sheets each lesson of the massage we'd done that day so we could practice at home and really continue with what we'd got from the class.

The best place to go for classes with little ones or for a relaxed coffee and cake with friends while the kids play. Everyone is welcome. Definitely a hidden gem!

Lovely little play space for babies and toddlers. Plenty of room for them to run around but small enough that you can sit down and be able to see them. They even have a small basket of nappy change time essentials in case you're caught short. Can't recommend it enough
