Staff were incredibly rude, all food options were deliberately over priced to rip off parents. Dirty toys and lack of hygiene, wouldnt recommend at all.

The coolest soft play we've ever been to. I went with one toddler, now I go with both of my sons. It's a great place, clean, and the restrooms have everything a toddler needs. Friendly staff, great fun! Thank you for such a great place.

I took my granddaughter and was my first visit. It's a lovely place run by lovely people. It is a little town for little people, even though I enjoyed it too. Nice Cafe as well where you can watch the children play in a safe environment. I would have given it 5 stars if it had more playing time for the money you pay. Would definitely recommend it and would go again.
