Soft Play in Plymouth

On a wet Plymouth day you're not short of options. Plymouth Soft Play Cafe sits right in the centre on Eastlake Street, and it's worth booking ahead. Ocean City Soft Play YMCA is close by too, with city-themed frames and a cafe for the grown-ups. Out at Estover, Drakes Den has free parking and prices from £1.75, which helps if you're going more than once a week. If you'd rather make a trip of it, China Fleet in Saltash is a short drive over the Tamar and works well as a day out rather than a quick stop. All four have baby change and a cafe, so toddlers and older siblings can both be kept fed and happy. Drakes Den and Ocean City also do birthday parties, useful if you're planning ahead. For a quick city-centre stop, the Eastlake Street cafe is hardest to beat.
