This is a great Little Play Arena. You can see your children playing all around it. It’s clean. Its friendly staff, the food is lovely, and the kids always eat it. The staff are incredibly friendly, the curly-haired boy, and the lady with glasses. Highly recommend the music. It's good.

Out of the soft play areas in sheffield this is the one we go to most, the kids love it here. They have re-done the toddler area which is fab and the bigger kids have a great time in the bigger section. They also have a new sensory area aswell. In the week it doesnt get too busy after school, but on a weekend its heaving!!! Id avoid on weekends if you dont like busy places as it can be overwhelming. But its a really good soft play venue. Great for kids parties too, had my daughter's here last year for her 4th.

Run Around is a great playground for kids. There is an excellent slide and amazing floating balls for children under 3, which are a lot of fun. It also has a small football pitch where kids can play and be active. Overall, the place is clean and well maintained, although some of the floor mats could use repair. I definitely recommend it.

My children absolutely love it here. They've been for parties and we've recently started coming here in the afternoons. The soft play is clean and has been recently refurbished. Good prices and food is lovely. Would recommend!!

We had a lovely visiting Runaround. My daughter really enjoyed herself. They have a little baby toddler area and a big area for the big kids! There was a big ball pit in both toddlers and a big kids area, whichever my daughter enjoyed, and she really loved the blue spaced themed slide! The food was lovely, which we enjoyed. We had chips, baguettes with salad and coleslaw. The staff were so friendly and welcoming!
