Took my 1 year old to a play area for the first time and he enjoyed it until we gave our order for our food. Half an hour went by no food and other that ordered after were getting food before us.
Went downstairs with my 1 year old only to be told that they forgot about it and missed it. Got a refund and manager was really nice and offered some chips for on the way home.

Lovely indoor play area for kids. A little pricey but worth it. The meals are lovely too. They could improve it by having a cleaner on site. The toilet was too messy we couldnt use it. The location is just 3mins walk from tram stop as we werent driving. Would go again

One star for toddlers (would give more for over 3s) but as I was taking my one year twins I felt robbed of the 9.50 charge for each toddler that can't walk and therefore can't independently use the attractions. 9.50 is the same charge as 3-11 years who have an enormously large area to play and probably more worth the money. Insanely expensive for toddlers- all under 3s should at least be half the price when they have only a fraction of the play area to explore.

My son had his 3rd birthday party here on Sunday our host was (Gemma) and she was amazing, very patient and engaged very well with both the children and adults. It was a breath of air knowing everything was hassle free and organised. The children absolutely enjoyed themselves I would definitely opt to have your party at Head Over Heels.
