This place is absolutely brilliant ! The size of the place is impressive to an adult so imagine what it looks like through your child's eyes. I would definitely recommend booking online and getting your 10% off first booking. I would recommend 2 hours there is so much to do Free parking is available. It was very quick to get in with a booking. We were given watch like bands that I think are a fabulous idea giving children a visual aid of what time they had left. It was green, then about 30 mins left blue then red when 5 mins left, red vibration when they had to leave. The whole place was very clean and tidy unlike a lot of soft plays. There was no "stinky feet" smell. The toilets were spotless. There was plenty of space to sit for parents. There was different spaces for different ages to play so all kids were safe. There was a large menu, kids meals were around Β£7 if I remember correctly but there was alot of options amd alot included. Hot chocolate was absolutely delicious! My children had so much fun and I would definitely return. For reference my children are 8&9 year old boys and loved it.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children from toddlers to age 12 who want a full-afternoon energy burner. The scale sets it apart from typical soft play β€” a 12-year-old and a toddler can both find something to do without crossing zones. The Hangar Restaurant makes the adult wait genuinely comfortable.

β€œJust discovered the ultimate clean and fun indoor play spot for kids β€” and honestly, parents too! (They even do adults only nights) There’s a huge bouncy castle packed with different activities, a massive soft play climbing zone, and even a dedicated football area. Total energy-burner β€” my little ones had an absolute blast! What really surprised me was the food - fresh, tasty, and way above your typical soft play snacks. There’s also an ice cream and milkshake area that was a big hit with my little ones! The space is super comfortable with lots of seating, great vibes, and really friendly staff. I also really appreciated the thoughtful safety features, like high exit buttons so kids can’t just wander out β€” it made it easy to relax and let them roam free. Decent sized car park and everting was reasonably priced, which was a pleasant bonus. Perfect for rainy days, playdates, or birthday parties. We’ll definitely be back!”

β€œMy 12 year old still rates this place. It's massive and has a bunch of different areas suited for all ages. Unlike most of these play places it all seems pretty clean and noise and heat levels not so bad that you want to lie in a dark room afterwards. The cafe area for the grown ups is good, with table service and decent food and drink options. Definitely the least worst indoor kids play venue in Lancashire”

β€œVery nice place with lots of fun and fantastic food! The price was reasonable; we paid Β£42 for 2 hours for 2 kids. The only issue was that it was very busy, and we couldn’t find a table to sit at for about an hour. This was understandable, considering it was the school half-term. Otherwise, we had a great time!”
