"I had a lovely first 1-1 skiing lesson with Dan to prep me for my holiday in the new year. The instruction was really clear - I got a load of good tips and corrections the whole way through, and I felt like I’d made decent progress by the end of the session. All the staff are friendly as can be and put you at total ease. I’m definitely coming back!" - Google review

"You wouldn't believe this place is in the middle of Birmingham. One minute you're stuck in traffic, the next you're flying down a zip wire or paddling a kayak! We did the tubing for a birthday party and it was hilarious—great fun for adults too. The instructors are fantastic, really patient and clearly love what they do. It’s a bit rough around the edges in places, but that just adds to the 'adventure' feel. Great value, free parking, and a proper workout. Just wear old clothes because the mud and the matting are unforgiving!" - Google review

"Had a birthday here today for my son and 20 of his mates! It’s been absolutely brilliant. The staff were helpful, engaging and most of all, patient with their young participants. The management team were super helpful, and even gave us some extra time on some of the areas. It was really reasonably priced and I wholeheartedly recommend Ackers Adventure as a place to have real fun. I have not laughed so hard at parents attempting tobogganing ever before. A birthday to remember - THANK YOU to the Ackers Team." - Google review
