Soft Play in Bristol

Rain rarely stops play here. Noah's Ark in Brislington is the closest option, from £1, with a toddler zone and adventure frames, though it is worth booking ahead for weekends and holidays. Out at Cribbs Causeway, Wild Things does soft play with natural materials and a proper play cafe attached. Head to Yate and you get two choices close together: The Play Shed with its Jude's Jungle toddlers zone and a 5-star cafe, or Jungle Kingdom next door at the leisure centre, from £5, with a rope bridge and sensory zone for 0-9s. For the very small, Jungle Run in Congresbury keeps things simple, ages 0-6 only, walk in without booking, from £2.50. If your child is older, Jungle Kingdom's frames give more to climb. Noah's Ark works well for families who like to book ahead and know they have a spot. Most sites do food on site, so you can settle in for a full morning rather than clock-watching.
