I was reluctant to come due to negative experiences previously where my child was pushed around a lot by older kids in small spaces and didn’t have fun. But i will 100% be coming back again now! I can say that since the new owners have taken over I think its a lot better! The spaces are well thought out and utilised, giving the kids plenty of space to play. Some if the new replacement toys are a lot more suitable, and i’m glad to say those toe crushing horses have gone! My son had loads of fun! The menu is also lovely, plenty of choice for everyone! Highly recommend a milkshake! · via Google [Fenn Settle](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104773262870439079401/reviews) ★★★★★ Tired. Shabby. A lot of the items no longer work. We went thinking it would be a bit like Kidzania london. Instead it was well decorated (at one time) plywood sheds. The staff were absolutely lovely, drinks were reasonably priced, but we ended up leaving after about 20minutes because there just wasnt enough to do. · via Google [James Brown](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108976389057231134781/reviews) ★★★★★ Our little boy loves it here, and so do we. Little Lincoln is a hidden gem - too hidden in fact! This place deserves to be a lot more popular than it is, and more/better marketing will almost certainly boost numbers. They can also afford to increase their prices! · via Google [Natasha Jefferson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111715117957738811762/reviews) ★★★★★ I have visited "Little Lincoln" on several occasions with both my under 1 year old and my 4 year old. My youngest daughter loves the sensory sessions held monthly and really enjoys exploring the space and all the toys. My 4 year old and I recently attended the "Trolls" special where we were able to play, do crafts, have a dance off and take pictures with Princess Poppy. We had a wonderful time and my daughter absolutely loved it, especially when she was given a prize for winning the dance competition. The staff there are always friendly and welcoming and make a big fuss over the children. There are a variety of different play areas to suit most childrens interests whether that be the Theatre Royal, The Beauty Salon, or the local Coop to name a few. There is even a small, closed off soft play area for the under 2's. The prepared food is delicious with many choices of snacks and hot drinks and the cakes are amazing. I would definitely recommend "Little Lincoln" as a place to spend some quality time with your children and to watch them happily express themselves through exploration and role play. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48785b4869013601:0xe487ce260dc0d96a!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Witham Park House, Waterside South, Lincoln, LN5 7JN [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=53.2265603%2C-0.5251715) **Category** Adventure & Activity Centres **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (16 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor **Dogs allowed** No **Good for children** Yes **Good for groups** Yes **Booking required** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Lincoln [More attractions in Lincoln](https://staycation.co.uk/lincoln/attractions) ★ 4.6 (16 reviews) Typical price range (Google) £1 – £10 [Visit official website](https://www.childrenslinks.org.uk/toy-library?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01522 546215](tel:01522546215) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Lincoln **Postcode** LN5 7JN **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C5X6FRV+M4 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48785b4869013601:0xe487ce260dc0d96a!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48785b4869013601:0xe487ce260dc0d96a!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48785b4869013601:0xe487ce260dc0d96a!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Lincoln Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
