What it’s like
A space-themed soft play centre where kids climb and slide, build bears and make slime, with food deals to save you cooking.
The soft play here is space-themed, so expect climbing frames and slides done up like something out of an astronaut's daydream. Beyond the usual scrambling about, there's a bear building activity and slime making on offer too, which is a nice change from just soft play alone if you've got a kid who fancies making something to take home.
Pricing works on peak and off-peak, and it stings a bit if you don't plan around it. Peak is all day Saturday and Sunday, plus weekdays after 3:30pm, and a child over 4 pays £8.45 then versus £7.45 off-peak. Toddlers aged 1 to 3 are cheaper at £6.45 peak or £5.45 off-peak, adults get in for £1, and under-1s are free. If you can get there on a weekday morning, it's the better deal.
Food-wise there's a café on site, and the Meal Deal at £10.99 covers play entry, a children's menu choice and a drink, which saves you faffing about with packed lunches. There's also a Bear and Play combo at £18.95 if the bear building is the bit your child will remember most.
Birthday parties run for 2 hours with buffet food and juice included, and packages range from £10.50 to £20.95 per child depending what you pick. One thing worth knowing before you get your heart set on a date: the online booking form only lets you book parties at least two weeks ahead, so if you need something sooner you'll have to ring or use the contact form instead.
