to taste re the ski trip prior to going (February 2024)

(February 2024)

Communication when booking wasn't great - I was led to believe that Snow Dome staff would be leading an ice-skating lesson, when in actual fact there were just staff on the ice, as you would expect at any public rink. The staff were very friendly and helpful when asked to do something, but didn't seem particularly proactive or prepared for a large group arriving at the same time. Getting boots given out, safety briefing and starting the session could have been much better organised and more efficient. When a group of 8 and 9 year olds, most of whom have never been on the ice before, are doing so for the first time it would be a good idea to have all of the available 'penguin' supports already on the ice, rather than waiting to see how they got on before getting them out. The trip definitely needed an experienced member of school staff to make it successful, but the children did get a huge amount from it, both in their understanding of what life is like for children in Norway and as a lesson in resilience and perseverance. They also absolutely loved the snow play session. For this reason, I would certainly go again, but with a greater number of staff who are prepared to get on the ice with the children. Recommend that A.Parkes goes as well next time! (January 2024 - Primary School)

The children enjoyed their visit. They were able to experience a short pantomime of a familiar story, see a range of animals and use snow slides. One area was too crowded due to the snowdome booking multiple school visits at the same time. (December 2023 - Primary School)

An excellent experience but the snow slides could have been better staffed and managed by the venue. It was very busy and people were falling over each other to get to the top of the slides. (March 2020 - Primary School)

We were led to believe that this was a schools only session, but members of the public were present and the sheer volume of people presented us with difficulties in keeping our children contained. (May 2019 - Primary School)

Lack of staff from the venue reduced our rating from 5 to 4 stars. Other than that the trip was a fantastic experience for our children. Exclusive hire of the facilities meant our children were safe at all times. (March 2019 - Primary School)

Too busy and unorganised. (December 2018 - Primary School)

A fantastic day out for pupils and the Snow dome catered for all pupils needs and were very inclusive. (December 2018 - Primary School)

Accommodated alternative arrangements for an individual child as needed. Staff available at all times. First Aid staff helped immediately as needed. (December 2018 - Primary School)

Well organised and scheduled through the Santa Winter Wonderland package. Children, parents and staff enjoyed their day. (December 2018 - Primary School)

Poorly organised day. Venue was inappropriate for large school bookings. Toilets were adult sized and situated in the bar/ restaurant area. No rubbish bags provided in lunch room. Snow room too busy and snow poor quality. Overall experience time for the children was 1.5 hours. Poor value for money! (December 2018 - Primary School)

We were very pleased with our visit to the Snow Dome. The Winter Wonderland - snow play, show and animals - were very well organised and kept the children entertained. This year was improved by having a member of staff meet us as we arrived and check in with us through out the day. Our only issue was that there were no chairs and tables for us to eat our lunch at - which was noted by the parents who accompanied us. (November 2018 - Primary School)

Life guards and instructors very good. They made the instructions very clear to the children. A private room to leave our things and have lunch. (November 2018 - Primary School)

Staff were extremely helpful - the visit was enjoyable, as well as giving us a room to safely store our things whilst on an activity. (November 2018 - Primary School)

The comments from adults were that the children had a fantastic time, experiencing the cold and playing in the snow. Adults have suggested that future visits to include ks1 so we could have the space to themselves. (December 2017 - Primary School)
