What visitors say
Absolutely fantastic, so much going on. It also has air conditioning! It’s very safe, calming environment but enough for all children of all abilities and ages. There’s lots of photo opportunities and meet and greets, little dance party, story times, small baby area safe from bigger children. Sensory area, fantastic ballot area. My 2 and 4 year olds love it. Would definitely recommend.

Visiting here was the reason we stayed near Blackpool on holiday. Julia Donaldson is my son's favourite. He loves every one of the characters and stories and this visit made his year. It was very well organised and the staff were super friendly, as you'd expect... And the gift shop is well stocked... Lol 🤣

Had a great time here. My little one was only 9 months so wasn’t sure if it’ll be suitable for him but there was lots for him to do. He got to meet the gruffalo and the mouse. They also do a little show before meet and greet. There is a small sensory room for little ones which my boy loved and then also a soft play area for them to explore.

SO AMAZING! It’s set out beautifully - cafe, meet and greet, dance party area, witch, woods and dragon soft play. Lighting is so beautiful, it’s clean, staff keep on top of everything. It’s so organised with all the events running seamlessly even a fun ‘find the gold balls’ in the play area. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond. My daughter adores witch and was dressed as her, the staff took the time to make sure witch came out for the meet and greet in our slot and let us know what time. The characters are brilliant and attentive and so on point to their personality!! We are so grateful to all the attentive caring staff. Even down to choosing the photos and the gift shop area, all the staff are so kind and accommodating. We had a fantastic time and will be back. For such a reasonable price too, highly highly recommend!! No complaints at all. Also we arrived late but they were able to accommodate us at the next time slot available. Thank you so so much everyone at the gruffalo and friends clubhouse!!!
