This is a lovely place. My 22 month old granddaughter loves it. The only negative thing is that under 3 or 5 year old area, with ball pit. A lot older children go in this area even though poster saying under 3 or 5 year olds only. Some of the children were around 10years old and really making it messy and unsafe for toddlers. There parents just let them use this area. Should be a bell or alarm to notify staff really. Apart from this it is a lovely place.

Been here prior to the refurbishment and it was good but now it’s really great. The climbing frame is large for kids to have tons of fun and the setup still allows parents to keep an eye on their little ones. They have space for parties and it doesn’t feel crowded when one is happening. The cafe has a good selection of food and snacks. Will definitely be back.

I found the fund drum line by exploring a few different places to take the kids different to the standard places in and around Bluewater area. Initially was quite hard to find, but as long as you follow the satnav, you’ll be there. Quite a bit of parking just outside the unit, reception desk as you walk in. Large adventure play area full of everything you need all under one roof, overall wasn’t bad price for the two children and two adults. There seemed to be a lot of people walking around staff wise on the facility and all seemed to be busy enough. Lots for the kids to do but is a small amusements inside which I think should be made cheaper or removed as can make the overall more expensive. Cafe and menu was reasonably priced and toilets clean. I would recommend this for all ages from around 4+

I visited today with my daughters. We were very impressed with the refurbishment and the new areas added. My girls loved the Tiny town and really enjoyed the Nerf arena. The member of staff in the nerf area was really helpful and encouraged my youngest daughter to use the ball shooters. The staff were all very helpful and polite.
