    My kids liked it up to the age of 12 ish. Couple of flumes and a river ride. Wave machine. No idea on opening times and what's available nowadays. The park over the road is decent for a run around too, and don't pass up the chance to call at Beres Pork shop for a hot pork sandwich.

    It's alright, as Fired says, it's a bit smaller than the metrodome, but it has a few slides and that.

    I'd give them a call regarding availability, as I used to use the lane pool, but it was getting difficult to book in. You might find they have a slot at 3am on a Tuesday morning.

    In all seriousness though, I've messaged Sheffield City Trust about issues on messenger before, and they're really helpful and responsive.

    They do a great sandwich. Just a shame they have a ridiculous system, whereby seemingly everyone behind the counter has to have a go at handling your sandwich before it is given to you. They also have made messing up orders into an artform!

    I've never had any issues at the one I use in Crookes. Seems to be a one person system and they're very efficient.
