Absolutely brilliant service

Absolutely brilliant service, good fun so many activities. Friendly staff, good with children and adults. Loved the clay pigeon shooting. I was a bit apprehensive as never driven an ATB before, staff made it a lovely stressful experience. Even the knife throwing and axe was great.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your feedback. We’ve checked our records and unfortunately, we don’t have a record of your visit. For clarification, we don’t sell paintballs in cups, we sell paintballs in sealed pots or bags (the manufacturer sends them in pre-sealed bags) and there’s no reason why our team would pour paintballs out.

We’re always happy to resolve any genuine issues on-site, so if you’d like to get in touch with more details about your visit, please contact us directly at 01179353300.

Thanks,
Bristol Activity Centre

Amazing Experience

The Quad Biking was so much fun.

Our instructor Steve was amazing throughout the whole experience and worked with a member of our group that was less confident to build up their confidence to give it a go. Everyone was included.

Highly recommend the activity and the centre.

Didn't try paintballing here myself but saw a group having a go. The area where you play looks amazing with the props they have. Definitely better looking than some places I have been to before.

Will be back at some point. :)

Don't even bother!

I booked a session for a birthday party only to find out they no longer take full day bookings and can only offer 90 minutes of playing time.

I made the booking on SATURDAY and requested a refund MONDAY, surely that's ample notice giving that the event is not for three weeks. They were unable to offer that service, SO they have charged me £80+ for a non-refundable booking which is unclear throughout the shoddily built website.

When I called customer services I was met a dodgy connection with a scripted response with no apology or human touch. Its a massive shame as I have enjoyed many experience's here when they offered full day fees! Go somewhere else is my advice.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We believe this review may have been intended for a different company.

For clarification:

We run 180-minute (3-hour) sessions, and since 2018 we have only offered “half-day” sessions. We haven’t offered full-day bookings for several years.

Our cancellation policy states that bookings can be moved with 7 days’ notice, which would have allowed for rescheduling in plenty of time.

We’re unsure what the £80 charge refers to, as it does not match any of our paintballing packages or pricing?

We pride ourselves on clear communication and providing a high-quality experience, so we’re happy to discuss any genuine bookings directly if there’s any confusion.

Thanks,
Bristol Activity Centre

Great instructors and a range of activities.

Fantastic team of instructors and a good range of activities.
Very accommodating for people with disabilities -great attitudes!
Went with a group from Sportability and had fun with the quadbikes and claypigeon shooting.
Access is improving all the time.
The only reason it misses out on the full 5 stars is because the site is still a bit tricky to get about in a wheelchair.
Will definitely go back again.

I came here as part of the charity Sportability- helping people with Spinal Cord injuries enjoy outdoor activities. The guys here are great, and hearing from people who have done it before with the group have continued to upgrade their facilities so all abilities can enjoy the experience. Just recently they put in a tarmac path which leads down to the clay pigeon area which will make all the difference next time a wheelchair user goes, they really made our experience a great one by being inclusive to all our differing abilities.... great job guys
