Loved by Families Across Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch
Great Little Place, Very Impressed.
Good Value, and for once a Children’s Play Centre that charges for the Little ones with a small fee for the Adults 👏, Free Parking too….
I have to say we were extremely impressed with the quality of the play session, including the actor led improvisation and input with the children throughout.
What a lovely place to take your little ones for a couple of hours, for fun and interactive soft play , great value for money and the food drinks are also very reasonably priced , highly recommend!
