What visitors say
Great as a play centre, kids love it, not the biggest of places and don't think you can pre-book, so 1st come 1st served scenario, and can get busy(even full) at peaks times, especially in the summer. Great location with other ships and businesses in this historical place)area. Food good and ok price, coffee good, toilets could do with a refurb, but pretty clean. Ground floor so sound be ok access. Free car park on site, with some electric car charging stations also (paid). Overflow carparks available I think on both sides of buildings. Often have craft fairs on historical site through summer etc and there is a large park across the road. All in all a nice little kids play centre in a lovely location of history and other shops. Thank you

Lovely softplay, my grandchildren love it! The staff are wonderful too, always welcoming. I go on a Monday and Beth, Megan and Chloe are always lovely. Thoroughly recommend. The food and drink are good too.

Visited this place for the first time. It is difficult to find as Google maps will take you somewhere else and in order to get to this place. As it is inside the elsecar heritage centre. We haven't visited such a place before but weren't given any instructions in terms of if you are allowed in the play area of not as some kids need assistance. The play area for kids is great. Only negative is that kids over the age of three came in and started running around but within the next ten minutes the staff came and asked them to leave such I think was the right thing to do

I've spent lots of hours here with my grandchildren. It's a small soft play area so idea for the younger child. I would say under 8 years. There is a separate section for under 2's. There is an open ball game space at the back and a larger area for bigger children. The cafe is reasonably priced and the food is good. They have a discount / membership card scheme. The baby disco is fantastic for toddlers this is in a room at the rear and you need to book, my granddaughter loved the music and the bubble machine. They also do parties and have activities at Christmas.
