What it’s like
Soft play sessions for under-7s with a toddler-only corner, a sensory area, and a café doing proper food, not just beige snacks.
This one's built for the smaller end of the age range, nought to seven, and it shows in the layout. There's a toddler-only soft play area so a one-year-old isn't getting barrelled over by a six-year-old going full pelt for the football pitch, plus a sensory corner if anyone needs a quieter minute. Older ones in the bracket get the football and basketball pitches to sort out who's actually in charge.
Sessions run 1 hour 45 minutes, starting at 9, 11, 1 and 3, and last entry is an hour before the final session ends, so don't turn up at five to and expect a full go. Pricing is banded by age from £2 for under 6 months up to £6.75 for 6 to 7 year olds, and it's the same price every day, no weekend markup, which is a small mercy if you're juggling a toddler and a school-age kid on different rates. Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed, and they won't happen at all if there's an exclusive-use party on, so if you've got your heart set on a Saturday morning it might be worth booking ahead with the £10 deposit rather than chancing it.
The café does a proper fresh food menu rather than just crisps and juice, and there's fresh coffee too if you're the one sitting this bit out. Parties are all-inclusive at £14 a child, an hour of soft play and an hour in the party room, with food, decorations, music and balloons thrown in, and breakfast platters if you're brave enough to book the 9am slot. It's indoor throughout, so a rainy Tuesday in Musselburgh is exactly what this place is for.
