Tips Before You Visit
1. Most soft play centres require socks for children (and often adults) — worth packing a spare pair just in case. 2. The on-site café means no need to rush home for lunch. Check the menu on their website or social media. 3. Check parking options near Museum St before you travel — street parking availability varies. 4. Weekend and school holiday sessions fill up quickly at popular venues — check if pre-booking is available. 5. If you have a child with additional needs, call ahead to ask about SEN session schedules — these aren't always listed on the main website.
