Dorset’s immersive indoor role play centre
The magic of role play
Looking for an unforgettable family experience that’s fun, educational, and totally unique? Discovery Village offers immersive play sessions designed specifically for children aged 1–8 years, where learning and laughter go hand in hand. Unlike a traditional soft play, every session is brought to life by our talented performers who guide children through a magical adventure filled with song, dance, and imaginative play.
At Discovery Village, we believe that children learn through play, and our sessions are carefully crafted to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Each visit follows our interactive Story of the Day, encouraging little ones to step into exciting new worlds. From looking after animals at the vets to keeping the community safe at the fire station, there’s lots of opportunities to sing, move, and explore along the way.

Our vibrant, themed play areas and structured storytelling set us apart from ordinary indoor play. Whether your child wants to fully join in or simply soak up the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone in our welcoming, inclusive space.
For families seeking meaningful, screen-free fun, Discovery Village delivers a rich, engaging experience that leaves lasting memories. Come discover the joy of play, where every visit is a new adventure and every moment is packed with fun and excitement.
