Soft play
Soft Play is a fun, safe, and stimulating environment designed for younger children to explore, climb, crawl, and slide. It’s the perfect place for little ones to burn off energy, develop motor skills, and enjoy active play in a secure setting. Ideal for playdates, family outings, or just a fun-filled hour of adventure!
Children must be supervised by parents at all times whilst using the soft play area.
