Best Time to Visit

From my experience, weekday mornings are your best bet if you’re looking to avoid the crowds. The place tends to get pretty packed after school hours and on weekends – especially during those rainy British afternoons! I’d recommend arriving right when they open if you’re visiting during school holidays. The early afternoon sessions usually see fewer visitors as it’s naptime for many little ones.

How to Get There

The facility is conveniently located within the Castle Grounds complex. Ya can’t miss it – it’s right next to Strykers Bowl! If you’re driving (which most folks do), there’s plenty of free parking available. Public transport users can hop on several local bus routes that stop nearby, and it’s just a short walk from the town center. But honestly, driving is your best option, especially if you’re planning to stay for the full 90-minute session.

Tips for Visiting

Listen up, cause these tips will make your visit so much smoother! First off, make sure your kids wear socks – they’re mandatory for playing. And while we’re talking about clothes, I’d suggest dressing the little ones in long sleeves and pants cause those slides can get pretty fast!

Book your session in advance, especially during school holidays or weekends. You don’t wanna show up with excited kids only to find out it’s full! The 90-minute sessions are timed, so try to arrive about 15 minutes before your slot to get checked in and sorted.

Bring some spare change for the lockers – they’re super handy for storing shoes and bags. And speaking of food, while there’s a Costa Coffee on-site, you can’t bring your own snacks or drinks inside the play area. Plan your visit around meal times or grab something at the café.

Keep an eye on your littles even though it’s a supervised environment – it gets pretty busy in there! And if you’ve got multiple kiddos of different ages, the layout makes it a bit tricky to watch them all at once if they’re in different zones.

Oh, and here’s a pro tip from someone who learned the hard way: take a photo of your kids’ socks before they go in. Sounds weird, right? But trust me, when it’s time to leave, you’ll be thankful when you’re trying to find that one missing sock in the sea of identical ones!

During summer, the air conditioning can make it quite cool inside, so maybe pack a light sweater for when the kids take a break. And don’t forget to bring your camera – there are tons of cute photo ops while they’re having the time of their lives!
