Sensory Rooms & Play Sessions in Edinburgh

If your child finds noisy soft play overwhelming, Edinburgh has some proper alternatives. Clambers, close to the centre, has a layered frame split into baby, toddler and junior zones, with entry from £1. Ohana, also in the city, is built for under-5s with an 8-foot ball pit and a dedicated sensory room. Out at Rosewell, The Steading keeps things small and calm for babies and under-fives, with a café doing pastel de nata for £1.40. For a child with additional needs, Bright Sparks Centre in Bonnyrigg is worth knowing about, a membership-based sensory and soft play set-up with a sensory garden, though it runs from £160. Dalkeith's House of Fun suits a bigger family day out, with a restaurant and two free adult entries per child booked. Saltire Soft Play in Mayfield keeps it simple, somewhere to climb while you get a coffee. Cowdenbeath is a longer trip, but Little World of Play's mini town, complete with supermarket and vet surgery, is a different kind of session entirely.
