Soft Play in Belfast
If you're after soft play in Belfast, there isn't a long list to wade through, but Roar and Explore does the job well. It's out at Dairy Farm, a bit out from the centre, and it splits into a junior frame for the bigger climbers and a toddler zone for the smaller ones, so both ages have their own space rather than colliding on the same slide. Entry starts from £2, which makes it an easy one for a wet afternoon without much planning. There's a cafe on site if you want to sit with a coffee while they play, parking so you're not hunting for a space, and it's wheelchair accessible with toilets on hand too. It's set up for children up to age 10, so it suits toddlers through to primary school age rather than teenagers looking for a bigger challenge.
