Flip Out Lakeside

Flip Out Lakeside is an indoor trampoline and activity venue at Lakeside, with trampolines, laser quest, a ninja-style course and party rooms. It sounds like the sort of place that should reliably exhaust children before lunch, and in fairness it does seem to do that for many families. The best bits, according to reviewers, are the Olympic-style trampolines and the laser quest, which one family had to themselves and enjoyed. Early bird tickets can be decent value if you catch them, and there is enough variety to keep older children moving between activities. The snag is that several reviews mention tired equipment, broken scanners, exposed wires, dirty tables and generally poor cleanliness. Food and drink are described as expensive, the seating sounds limited and uncomfortable, and staffing appears thin on the ground at busy times. It may still entertain the kids, but parents will likely spend part of the visit muttering into their coffee.
