Dorset’s Unique Alternative To Soft Play in Bournemouth
If you’re looking for a soft play experience in Bournemouth that’s a little different, Discovery Village offers something truly special. Our role play centre is designed to support learning through play in a calm, welcoming environment where children are free to explore, imagine, and create at their own pace.
Unlike traditional soft play centres, which can often be loud and overwhelming, Discovery Village provides a gentler, more enriching alternative. Our beautifully designed mini village features realistic play spaces — from shops to construction zones — that encourage children to step into real-world roles and develop key social, emotional, and problem-solving skills.
An indoor play experience with a difference
At every play session, a live actor or performer brings the village to life, guiding willing children through a new and exciting story of the day. This storytelling format nurtures imaginative thinking and adds structure to each visit, while still allowing plenty of time for free play. Our stories are full of fun, featuring songs, movement, and themed activities that change regularly to keep little minds engaged.
Role play isn’t just about fun — it helps children make sense of the world around them. They learn how to collaborate, build confidence, express themselves, and develop language and communication skills, all through meaningful, playful experiences.
Real Play For Imaginative Minds
Whether your child is dressing up as a vet, delivering post, or helping save the planet with Captain Recycle, our sessions are carefully designed to offer both enjoyment and educational value.
So if you’re looking for a calm and creative alternative to soft play in Bournemouth, Discovery Village is the perfect place. Come and see how magical learning through play can be — with stories, songs, and smiles waiting in every session.
