Parent summary

Si5 Spy Missions has a genuinely engaging laser room activity that children tend to really enjoy, and the staff are reported to be knowledgeable and helpful. The experience is well-structured, though it's fairly short (around 35 minutes for the mission itself), and there are some practical considerations around the facilities and what happens afterwards that are worth planning for.

What visitors say

Many visitors have found the laser room and structured mission activities engaging, with staff praised for being well-organised and responsive to issues on the day. Some have noted that the 35-minute mission can feel brief, with limited activities afterwards, and a few have mentioned concerns about the party room facilities and inflexibility around food options.
