Features

  • Baby Room: This space is an ideal retreat, separated from the main play area with a child-proof gate but still easily accessible from the main room. It is approx 40m² of safe space for only the youngest customers. It has a specialist sensory area containing lots of different features to interest inquisitive young minds, along with additional seating space dedicated to parents and babies, with maternity pillows.  We believe we are the only indoor play centre in the area with a proper dedicated space for babies, so come and give it a try!
  • Toddler Area: This is a specially designed frame comprising approx 25m² of play space, along with an enclosed padded play area to the front and lots of interactive pieces. It’s in the rear corner of the room, close enough to everything else to retain the atmosphere but far enough away to create a sheltered corner for parents & toddlers to play safely. It’s also right next to the Baby Room, so those parents with a baby and toddler may still be able to watch them both from one place.
  • Main Play Area: Our main area has approx 85m² of play space with lots of interesting features. Two separate (but linked) sections across two storeys, to keep your children entertained. Because of the layout of our play centre (custom-fitted into a traditional building rather than the typical large retail unit), customers often perceive this area to be smaller than it is, but our main play area has very little empty space, almost every cell has some kind of play feature in it!
  • Assault Course: A purpose built play area designed to lead the children through one doorway, all the way around the course and then out of another. This area is situated just off the main room, along the corridor. Both the entrance and exit to the assault course are only a couple of metres apart, so parents can easily watch their children no matter which way they choose to run!
  • Padded Cabin: This is a purpose-built inflatable, designed to fit exactly into the small room, so it feels like a padded room. This area is situated along the corridor, just past the Assault Course area. It’s a great little space for children to ‘hide’, but parents can easily see them by popping their head through the doorway, as there’s a viewing panel in the internal wall. It’s a small space (with regard to floor area: it has adult head-height), designed ideally for only 2 children at once, and it’s completely padded and enclosed so perfectly safe. 
  • Projector Room: This space has a fantastic interactive projector equipped with lots of different games! Unique in the area for indoor play, this room is situated at the end of the cafe bar, between our main room and blue block room. The projector games are on a continual, random loop for 90 seconds each, guaranteed to keep your children active! It is, in effect, just like having a giant tablet on the floor that can be played by multiple children at once.
  • Sisyfox Room: A hugely innovative and fun game! ‘Sisyfox’ offers children various game options via an intuitive menu and everything is controlled with a large exercise ball.  So it has all the fun and hand/eye coordination-building of a computer game combined with physical action to keep your children moving even when they don’t realise they are!
  • Big Blue Blocks: Specialist building blocks designed to inspire and invigorate your child’s brain. These are specialist, large building blocks designed to really inspire and invigorate your child’s brain and help them to develop many mental and physical skills. But best of all, children love them!
