Toni Jackson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So happy, I regularly go swimming in the fitness pool here and all the cubicles have been fixed and the staff are as friendly as ever.

Mel Ann 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So much fun here. The wave pool especially great fun. It can get busy but it's definitely worth a visit. The only thing is we visited to the end of November and it was so so cold. My little one was shivering and her lips went blue so we had to leave early. Needs to be heated a bit better. Otherwise a great family day out

Dal&Jac Mann 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Was worried after reading all the negative reviews but promised my son we'd go here last year (was packed last year), but pleasantly surprised. Booked online after telephone call. Water was OK. Rapids & flumes- minimal queues. Changing rooms generally clean. Lockers now require a number padlock which we paid £5 for (you can purchase elsewhere) but nice lad on reception helped set it for us. Will definately be returning

Fantastic experience: I last came here 5yrs ago and I'm so glad to say it's still super impressive. Loads of fun to be had flumes, lazy river, wave machine, spa/hot tub/jacuzzi areas, rapids and a lovely toddler area so the whole family can enjoy. Really well maintained, good amount of staff (life guards) around and the spectator area is very nice too. Lockers and changing rooms well maintained and clean. A lovely family day out.

Nathan Card 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Colchester Leisure World is amazing. There are 2 flumes, one slow and one very fast. I went on the fast one, the blue flume , and when I landed in the water it was very fun. The pools have lots of affect. One of them was a water river which moved you around it. It was like a nice spa day. The hot tubs are very relaxing. So come here. It will be like riding to heaven.

Scarlett Osborne 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed going to the leisure world, as did my sister however I would say that the price shouldn't be as high as it is especially for the children. I did, have an amazing time though and it was a great way to spend my afternoon. We were recommended it by a friend and glad to say it lived up to our expectations - especially the kind staff.

Patricia Karlsson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent events in the hall. Did boxing here and enjoyed it very much. Lovely that it is very close to Aqua Springs.

Richard Drozd 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff. Not too pricey for a swim. There's a fair amount for young kids in the shallow pool. The small baby pool has been out of action for a while however. It's always clean there.

Danny Broadbent 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Me and my partner has recently joined here, its absolutely great for the price we pay (pretty much come here every day now), and the Aqua Springs spa, sauna and steam rooms are brilliant after going to the gym for a good workout, the main swimming pool is great fun and our daughter loves it :D The parking for free for 4 hours is also a bonus.

Kyle “M1Kxmarshy” Marsh 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to go to. They have a huge skating rink and laser quest too. Great for family days out or just an afternoon out if weather not to great.

Aurora Woodellens 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved it! I had to get ready for my swimming gala and the wave machine was just like the sea which helps me get stronger arms and legs. The employees are the loveliest people I have met in my life.

- ̗̀A Bacchus ̖́- 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We've only gone here for swimming / splashing about. Water chutes, lazy river, toddlers section, spa and a crazy outdoor rapids-style section. Staff are friendly and parking is free if you enter your registration number into the touch screen devices.
