The Pavilion by Mytime Active

The Pavilion by Mytime Active is a multi-use indoor leisure centre rather than a dedicated kids’ attraction. Families seem to come mainly for the pool, soft play and bowling, with gym and spin classes also getting a mention. The pool is described as large, warm and sometimes calm enough for a proper swim, which is handy if you’re trying to avoid full-on chaos. For children, the wave machine is the standout feature, and younger ones in particular seem to enjoy the soft play area, which is described as large with plenty to do. A few parents also liked the general layout and the fact that the site feels organised, with a lounge area and easy parking. Staff in the café and gym are described positively in some reviews, and a couple of visitors felt the place offered good value. The snag is that this is not a universally loved venue. The flumes have been removed, which will annoy anyone booking specifically for them, and several reviews complain about poor communication, tired facilities and cleanliness problems in the pool, changing areas and gym. Bowling also gets mixed feedback, with booking and service described as frustrating. In short: useful if you want an all-in-one indoor option, but not one to book blindly if the flumes were the point.
