Properly improved soft play, though the party package sounds like a bit of a gamble.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Amazon Adventure Soft Play, formerly MinorMania, is a renovated indoor play centre in Kent with separate zones for babies, under-3s and bigger children. Reviews also mention a sensory room and an outdoor play area, so it’s not just one giant climbing frame and a prayer. Parents seem genuinely pleased with the cleanliness, organisation and the staff, who are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful. The café gets decent marks too, with coffee and food both improved, and there’s enough here to keep children occupied for hours rather than minutes. The snag is value and parties. One review praised the open play sessions and quick food service, but another described a birthday party as expensive and badly handled, with not enough food and rude staff. So for a normal play session it sounds strong; for parties, I’d read the small print and maybe keep your expectations and your cheque book in separate rooms.
