Place is looking really run down. Lots of areas within soft play damaged and broken. The place needs a deep clean as all filthy, which makes it look more run down.

Kids loved the soft play, cafe nothing to write home about and baby change in the under stairs cupboard was an interesting experience. Also pretty cold when you're sat and the kids are playing.

Awful customer service. Over charged by nearly 10 for food. Pointed the error out to be told that they weren't allowed to refund. Then watched same assistant give incorrect change to another customer. Avoid at all costs!!!

Good for a family evening, but hardly any of the machines work, not worth 31 for 3 games needs updating deco wise and more variety on food. But friendly staff.

Prices are great as my partner and I only pay 2 for ourselves and nothing for my 11 month old as he goes free. The downside is that there is hardly any staff presence at the reception which means you end up waiting ages before your seen, regardless of the fact that its usually fairly quiet. Speaking of being quiet, it is silent in there most days. No background music at all. As well as this by the state of the place, it doesnt seem like its cleaned in between sessions, or at all to be honest. The price and locality is the main thing that gets us to choose this soft play area.
