Properly brilliant for older kids, though it’s more adrenaline than soft play.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
meetspaceVR ft Zero Latency in Guildford is a full-on virtual reality venue rather than your usual soft play. Reviews talk about a converted office/warehouse space set up for free-roam VR, with games like Outbreak and zombie experiences that sound suitably chaotic in the best possible way. What parents seem to love most is the staff. They’re described as friendly, professional and genuinely helpful with kids getting to grips with the equipment, which matters a lot when you’ve got a birthday party full of excitable children. There’s also arcade fun, pizza after the games, and an adult bar, so it works well as a party venue rather than just a kids’ drop-off. The main catch is that it’s not for little ones: reviews say experiences are from age 12 upwards, so toddlers and preschoolers are basically out. It’s also indoors and the reviews don’t mention soft play-style comfort, so don’t expect anywhere particularly relaxing to sit for long. In other words: excellent fun, but very much for older children, and probably not the place if you’re after a quiet coffee and a bit of peace.
