What visitors say
Super clean, welcoming, plenty for babies up to say 8/9 but then they also have things for a tad older. Awesome sensory room and swings. Lovely food, staff are friendly too. We love coming here. 1 set of stairs to go up for anyone who needs to know 🥰

My grandsons absolutely love this place, nowhere as cheap and more fun to waste a few hours with your kids in Halifax. We've been coming for a couple of years now and they're still excited to visit. The games arcade is a huge draw for young boys, the fact that it is paid for in your entrance fee, if you want to use it, is a huge plus and you don't dread the outlay of other arcades.The entrance fee is cheaper if you don't want to go in the arcade. There is also no time limit on how long they can play for. The girls who work there are always smiley and helpful. The food is very reasonably priced and perfect for an easy lunch aimed at little people taste buds, you can also get a decent adult lunch, which is fresh and tasty. Above all, the coffee is good, tasty and hot. If you've not been, give it a go and the Parking is free . In fact the only downside is the car park, drive slowly, it's full of the biggest potholes you will ever see and swimming pool sized puddles .....

The Play Mill Cafe hosted Charlie’s 4th birthday party and it was great from beginning to end. The children arrived, made pizzas and cookies, then had a lovely play before coming back to the party room to enjoy their homemade feast! Staff were friendly and attentive and would always recommend. Thank you x

A lovely place with a wide variety of sessions available. Many places only cater to children up to 5 or 6 years old, so it’s great that this one goes up to 11. It’s one of the few places where my children feel comfortable enough to play freely. There’s plenty of space, and the food is too good not to order!
