Soft Play

Our Soft Play area is the perfect place for youngsters to let off some steam, whilst you enjoy a a variety of hot and cold drinks and a selection of snacks available. Entry into Soft Play works on a timed session basis, allowing younger children to play for up to an hour. Our play area is currently open for the Easter Holidays 2026, and costs £2.00 per child. Soft play will be open between 10:30 and 15:30pm with last entry at 15:00hrs until the 19th of April 2026.

Nestled between our British Coasts and Atlantic Ocean Zones, kids can play till their heart’s content – and adults can take a moment to sit back and unwind with a hot or cold drink and a bite to eat in the adjacent snack bar.
