Had a lovely few hours here with my family! My 3 year old had loads of fun in the soft play and outside areas. Not sure what's dangerous like other reviews have stated... I felt it was very safe. The food was really nice too and reasonably priced. Overall it's a great little place for little ones!

It's a good place for 2 to 3 hours for under 7's. All the animals have been gone for several months as well as some other play things. It's still worth a visit and very fairly priced but it could do with a bit of investment.

I want to warn other families about taking their young children here. Unfortunately the place is quite dangerous in some areas, which is a real shame as it has amazing potential and may originally have been great for small children. The outside play areas particularly are outright dangerous, thin artificial grass directly over hard concrete right outside a soft play area where children expect to be able to roar around is irresponsible. Additionally, following a small accident with our child related to the above, staff were very apathetic. Recent reviews/ tips on trip advisor align with this. I sincerely hope the owners are able to perform the renovations required, but until then would warn against taking young children there.

Lovely place but due to price which went down to £8 as no animals then a week later went back to £10 still no animals!!!!! I think ut needs a repaint replacement carpets outside. TLC to buildings at back of property. Very scruffy and dirty. Weve stopped going rip off
