Used this place for years and always had a great time with my grandson.Since reopening after covid prices have risen considerably,for entry and they even now charge 1 entry for adults which was never the case previously.On recent visits at weekends they seem to be over booking on the kids parties leading to them removing the bouncy castle and utilising the space as a party area.

Massive climbing area for the over 5s (those younger get a little token area I'm afraid) so loads to do. Main downside for me was their minimum 5 card transaction. No business should be operating like this in 2021, particularly with the pandemic shifting things to a more cashless society. Once they sort this (and fix the very tired public toilets) we might return. Until then, I suggest you got to Wonderworld in Kinning Park or Pandamonium in Erskine.

Was there for a party and they obviously overbooked as we weren't able to use the party room, has to use the bottom of the building. Worker dropped food on the floor, put it back on the plate and proceeded to give it to the children. She only took it back once we called her out on it. Also stupidly busy. The play area for under 5s is also useless. My 1 year old wouldn't even look at it.

Great place for kids to play but make sure you have cash for food/ drinks. Cafe wont take card for less than 5. I had already purchased items for 8 but then later wanted 2 bottles of water for kids (cost 2.90) but kiosk said need to spend 5. Had asked reception on entry if cafe took card, they said yes but didnt mention minimum spend.

Great place to bring young kids. They have great soft play equipment for the kids and a separate area for very young children. You can get a surprisingly good choice of food to eat. They didn't require pre bookings to visit, unlike other softplay places, and have a one way system in place for COVID
