Now you walk into the caves and I was gutted! I even told the staff member that was with us. He explained that it had been removed fir health &amp; safety reasons. Whilst I can (in part) appreciate that, I was just so miffed! Especially since now (if you&#8217;re tall like hubby) you have to duck when you walk in &#8211; I&#8217;m sorry but I&#8217;d say the risk of concussion is higher than a health &amp; safety risk of the train!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6007\" src=\"http:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4310.jpg\" alt=\"Walking Around Bounce Below\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4310.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4310-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4310-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/becster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4310-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after going in we saw that they&#8217;ve now installed nets in Santa&#8217;s grotto &#8211; it&#8217;s the Junior Bounce bit. However you have to be over 3 years old to go on it so of course Little Miss wasn&#8217;t allowed on. Oh and I should add that there was no discount to compensate for the fact that she wasn&#8217;t allowed to participate in the full experience.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 62.5% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\">With #Santa at @BounceBelowUK today! #25daysofchristmas #christmas<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A photo posted by Rebecca (@becsterdotcom) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2015-12-19T16:12:44+00:00\">Dec 19, 2015 at 8:12am PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still reading, you may have gathered that I&#8217;m disappointed with the whole experience.
