Reviews:

J Sims ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Enjoyed a wonderful morning. Once I learnt how to use the hand held controls I was able to flit all over the world using Google Earth. Virtually sat on top of the statue Christ the Redeemer and the view of Rio below was magnificent, similar to how I remembered it but of course much higher and better. Revisited many places I had been to, and then visited those that were on my bucket list, but probably now won't get to travel to. Next time will do more interactive activities. Sat amongst the silver backed gorillas; what an amazing experience that was. Would definitely recommend to visit. I will most definitely be returning."

M Penniall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "From the greeting at the door to the assistance and explanations from the helpful staff this was such a great experience. We were all retired 'oldies' but the range of activities available to all age groups were outstanding."

S Leggatt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I took my granddaughter to The Cave for a 1 hour birthday experience. It was awesome. The guys tailored our trip to suit us both, so we had some time at the beginning doing different things (I travelled through space whilst my granddaughter did 'scary' stuff) and then we got into a game together. I had a little difficulty managing the controls, but got used to it in the end. Our hosts were amazing and I would highly recommend this experience for both young and older people."
