    Great place for little ones to burn off some energy.
    My son lived the football pitch and didn’t want to leave.
    Food was lovely and we all enjoyed ourselves!

    A brillant sports and recreation facility i used the baths. However On my first and visit i felt some of the staff a bit abrupt when i asked for the direction to the swimming pool changing rooms on my second visit. Quite a few of us arrived a few minutes early and were TOLD to sit in the cafe until it was opening time. They wouldnt even take the payment until the time it opened. I found this a bit regimental. And controlling especially with the way we were instructed. A bit of politness and a nice explanation would have been in order. Especially when there was a person there with special needs. Apart from that the experience was good and yes i will return

    Great place to meet friends. Good atmosphere and great food. We had fillet steak from the specials board. It was cooked to perfection

    We only live a 5 minute walk away from this place but it's probably only about 2 months ago that we decided to give the 1955 Bistro a try for lunch.

    I would recommend booking as sometimes when we've just turned up during the week, they've also been hosting business lunches. Other times, the place can be quiet-ish but for me and peace of mind, we tend to book.

    The staff are very friendly and the food is pretty good value. I usually opt for a sandwich & chips which is more than enough with good portions; I recently tried the burger and although the burgers themselves were good, the brioche bun fell apart (brioche isn't a good burger bun) and because it had been served in a basket, the bits just fell out all over the table. I did mention this to the staff so whether or not they'll rectify the serving suggestion, only time will tell.

    We do try and go here every couple of weeks or so for lunch (they only serve until 3pm) which is self explanatory that this place is worth a visit.

    Forget the cheap tacky bowling alleys and the like when visiting Preston. This is the place to be. Ideal for our 3 year old. The facilities are amazing. Easy to park and the staff are very helpful. We woupd recommend and return

    This centre is super for swimming and lessons, it is always spotless and the staff are very helpful. You can actually swim here rather than dodging people constantly.
    The learner pool is a super facility and the lessons for youngsters are very good.
    The car park could be larger- its always a struggle to find a place after school times.

    We had a family day out during half term at the request of our youngest as it’s her favourite place. We played the crazy golf this time. It’s a great course and every hole brings something different. We ate lunch in the Ocean restaurant. It was very busy but service was still fantastic and delicious meals. Special mention to Yi, she was so friendly and excellent at her job.
    We went back into Knickerbockers for ice cream afterwards, and again, delicious and great service from the young lady there.
    I love the flower bowl it’s such a well kept venue and the brilliant staff really make the place.
    Unfortunately today I’ve marked them down one due to the completely miserable member of staff, Liz, in the oasis cafe. The last time we went she served us, and was miserable then. But, everyone can have an off day so we didn’t make anything of it. But obviously this is her standard demeanour judging on today’s visit. She is not anywhere near the standard of staff we are used to at the flower bowl and really shouldn’t be in a customer facing role. I have never met anyone so rude.

    My child has swimming lessons here so go every week. No fault at all with the service there, swimming teachers are excellent.

    However they need to get some staff to keep an eye on the changing rooms. The cleanliness isn’t the best and there are pre teens running riot every time we go recently in the changing rooms and the complex generally. The other week some were covertly trying to coax me into letting them know my PIN number for my locker as if I’m that stupid! Others I noticed were trying the locks.

    Outside there are kids running riot on scooters and bikes mouthing off to all and sundry (great parenting, you should be proud).

    Needs a few security guards and a regular staff presence with a mop and bucket in the changing rooms in my opinion!

    We visited Pendle Waves today and it was ok. The water wasn't freezing but not warm either. The inflatables were busy but they did open the slide after a while which was the reason of our visit. The place was a little messy and I had to clear my own table which was unfortunately in a puddle of water but we managed to move it a little out of the way. It was unfortunately ruined when we went to get dressed by some children screaming but that's not the fault of the facilities and the staff did try to sort it but couldn't work out which cubicle it was. In all it was a good afternoon but I wouldn't like to go when it's really busy as it just dosen't have the capacity to hold that many people

    I really like this place. The staff are great, the food is always good and the atmosphere is nice. Because of this it pains me to leave ANY negative comments but I have to say the last two times I have been the floor has been filthy - Like never been hoovered up filthy!!

    I don't know if you have an external company come in and do the cleaning or you are responsible for it yourself but it needs sorting and quick . Because I have been plenty of times I have overlooked it but first time visitors would potentially be put off or worse leave bad reviews!

    Please take this as constructive criticism and keep doing everything else as well as you normally do !

    I will be back soon 🫡

    Brilliant sports village with an absolute wealth of equipment, from football pitches, to bars, to restaurants to other sports activities you name it they've got it. Mill Farm is definitely worth a visit and even better on a match day as AFC Fylde are based there!

    I had my grandchildren aged 13 and 10 over for the week as it was their half term. Michelle went over and above to put a special clip and climb session on. She couldn’t do enough and the children’s confidence has now gone up several notches. Thank you so much.
