1 / 2House of Fun Soft Play
📍 Scotland
Indoor soft play centre in Dalkeith for ages 1–12, with toddler and older-child play zones, a cafe, and private party rooms offering themed packages including jungle, pirate, princess, Cars, and Spiderman.
My almost 3 years old loved it. She went to both areas, enjoying both. Snacks are fine, I haven't tried the food yet. Staff was great and the place was clean. My only criticism would be that the toilets are not adapted to children (at least on the men's side), no changing board and only one stool to reach the sinks. Update : on my next visit, I was told that there are toilets adapted for children on the ground floor, next to the cafe counter. Much easier!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families planning a birthday party for children aged 3–8 who want professional theming and a venue that handles the detail. The soft play works well for everyday visits with toddlers and young children, and the secure door policy reassures parents. Book party slots well ahead — themed dates fill quickly.

“Hailey recommended ⭐️ We’ve had a great experience at our 6th year boy football themed party ( see the photos). The decorations were top 🔝 and food was decent. The staff was so friendly and our boy had a lot of fun with his friends at soft play area. Also I founded very safe as the doors are locked all the time and there is nowhere to go so you can’t miss a child in there.”

“We had my daughter's 4th birthday party at House of Fun. They provided a great set up and were really accommodating with the request for a Spiderman theme. They provided lots of balloons, including a '4' balloon, and decorations for the table. The food was good and the portion sizes were excellent. We had our own private space. I would highly recommend them.”
