We have always visited at the quiet times. We all get to join in and the last time we went the youngest child got free juice and toast. Brilliant · via Google [Wendy Milton-Jones](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112391745008404805780/reviews) ★★★★★ The kids love it, and it is a fun few hours out for everyone. Although it is expensive at £11.95 for kids and £8.50 for over 1's and I am sure adults get charged too, cos my bill was £32 plus. Food is great, so compliments to the chef. But for a family of 5, the cost can soon add up. And then u have drinks on top of all that too. So wot was suppose to be a cheap afternoon at the soft play with the grandkids, ended up costing £60 to £80 quid, which is not cheap or good for families on a budget 🤔 · via Google [Claire](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115996396259895157944/reviews) ★★★★★ Attended for the first time for a birthday party. Seemed very good value for money, and my son had a wonderful time (he's 3). It's very big inside with plenty of play spaces for children of all ages! The staff seemed very pleasant and helpful. They certainly go the extra mile for the birthday child. The party room is really good for a nice little private area for the children to eat. Inside, there was a disco atmosphere with disco balls / lights and children's music playing. Haven't rated 5* due to the toilets being slightly unclean. None of the flushes seemed to work in the girls' bathroom, and parking is extremely limited considering the size of the establishment. Would visit again, though. · via Google [Rachel Serrell](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112498506771947587393/reviews) ★★★★★ Although this is a fairly pricey for a soft play, you get 2 hours of play, and more if you don’t leave at the two hour mark as they don’t check and don’t rush you out the door… although 2 hours for us is enough tbf. The food is DELICIOUS and the portion sizes are huge. So food is worth the money. Staff are always polite so I would say 5/5 for this place and it’s worth the money overall. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487e935ee843c891:0xea4b5f2d3b90cd0b!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 38A Dukesway, Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 9LT [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.5178530%2C-1.2916008) **Category** Indoor Soft Play **Guest rating** 4.4 / 5 (590 reviews) **Prices from** £12 **Suitable for** Ages 0-12 **Setting** Indoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Stockton-on-Tees [More attractions in Stockton-on-Tees](https://staycation.co.uk/stockton-on-tees/attractions) ★ 4.4 (590 reviews) From £12 [Book tickets — from £11.95](https://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=41789956750&a=35498&m=86769) on Lovetovisit — affiliate link [Visit official website](https://www.theplayfactory.net/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01642 767588](tel:01642767588) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Stockton-on-Tees **Postcode** TS17 9LT **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C6WGP95+49 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487e935ee843c891:0xea4b5f2d3b90cd0b!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487e935ee843c891:0xea4b5f2d3b90cd0b!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487e935ee843c891:0xea4b5f2d3b90cd0b!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Stockton-on-Tees Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
