Nice area and lots to do. Pricing a bit steep for under 3s in my own opinion, as they only have their own little area but it’s ok. Only issue was parking

Went here today with kids and friend with kids. Clean in all areas and saw staff regularly cleaning tables and play equipment Kids enjoyed the soft play and arcades Kept them occupied for 3 hours. Food was decent, we had a long 30 min wait but I think that was just our issue as I saw others get food much faster than that. Toilets were clean

Great fun for the kids. I have been taking my son to the baby zone since he was about 4 months old. Lovely to have a section just for babies/toddlers. Amazing selection of food and drinks which aren't over priced. I was very happy with how many vegan options they had for us too. Clean place and good changing facilities for the littles

Best play space in the UK. Big claim but I've been to enough around the UK now and this is the best with everything considered. Gated areas for the littlest ones with the right level of physical Vs electronic interactive items. Friendly staff, clean, lots to do. And all for a reasonable price. So many of these play places are out to rinse the parents wallet but this place seems fair. If I lived near by I'd probably frequent it a lot.

My kid loved it especially electric bike ride. Soft play area is big and they have separate toddlers area. Arcade area is pretty good too. Clean toilets very decent and affordable food and drinks polite staff. Parking is a bit congested but probably its school holidays thats why parking was quite jam packed so was the play area. Very affordable in comparison to other available places. Definitely recommended.
