That Fun Place Bolton

Visited during half term, this was extremely busy! There are plenty of tables to put belongings on and a cafe available. Food was typical of what you would expect at a soft play centre. Playarea is a decent size and suitable if an adult needed to go in, (not like you will break your back). Large slide is steep, our kids loved it but not for everyone. The under 4s area is ok, more suited for babies. Our 2 year old could climb out easily and preferred the larger play area. Downsides is cost, better paired with combo ticket (trampolining). Cleanliness, there was food on the floor and no one cleaned during our 2.5hours there. The toilets are outside of the play area meaning you have to get buzzed back in every time.

Came here last week with a group of friends all with toddlers. We were in the central play area (below 4 years old) and it was almost impossible to keep older children out. I spoke to staff three times for support, and at one point someone offered to watch and manage - but that didn't last for long. My son was getting upset and I was furious that he was in a situation where older kids could hurt them. I spent a lot of my time asking older kids to move away from my son as some were playing rough and not watching for those around them. I shouldn't be doing this. In the end we ended up sitting in the cafe, as it wasnt worth the stress. The area for toddlers should be entirely separate, but instead its central and surrounded by low walls that older kids can climb into, or use as a cut through. Disappointing, won't be returning. Total waste of money and an afternoon.

The staff are ok, not very polite or attentive. Our children were constantly having altercations with some very challenging children that the staff turned a blind eye too. The play center is not worth paying for and the cafe is run by one staff member so queues develop quickly.

Avoid peak time. I was here on Friday noon. First we were met by a long queue outside. When we got inside after 15 minutes of waiting, the staff ensured that we would be able to stay an extra 10 minutes (I paid for 2 hours).It turned out that the room was overcrowded and there were no seats. I will only add that at the entrance I had to pay an extra pound as a fee for monitoring adult capacity. After half an hour of standing, we managed to sit down. Before I ordered the food, someone from the staff approached me, asking to leave the playground. When I asked why, he explained that I had a green armband and it was my time to leave. I explained that I was here only half an hour and I paid for two. It turned out that we were handed the wrong color of the bands.I didn't get an apology. He just threw me a different color of bands on the table. After less than two hours after entering, I was asked to leave the building again (the staff did not grant us the promised 10 extra minutes).I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. For that reason it's only one star- for tasty food.
