Great place, with excellent facilities and friendly, caring staff. The only constructive feedback I would provide is to have better policing for small child area. Appreciate you cannot check each childs age individually, however this afternoon it was full of children aged up to 10, trampling over little ones. Of course shame on parents for letting this go unmonitored. Well be back for sure

My 9-year-old wanted to come so we turned up and it looked pretty nice inside. The staff first asked us how old he was. Of course we said 9. They said we cant accept children over the age of eight. I had a right go at them.

This is a great indoor play area for babies to around 10 year olds. They base the play on height. 3.50 per child (if you are staying in the cabins) for two hours of play. If you stay longer they can charge an additional 2.50. You need to bring socks to play. There's a cafe and snacks which were reasonable and tasty and toilets with easy access. This is a great rainy-day activity!

Great soft play for kids by the peak district, serving delicious food and a wide range of tea. There is an under 3s section and a bigger area for older kids. My son loves their slushy ! At busy times, the wait can be quite long for food.

Great place to take your young ones. It has a good sized play area suitable for kids aged 1 up to year 6 at school. There is plenty of seating a few comfortable settees. We paid9 for 2children. The food is good and well presented for 3adults and 2 children lunch was less than 30. Highly recommended.
