★★★★★Featured review by Zenki Hash

We had my daughter’s birthday party here and it was truly fantastic! The staff were incredible—so attentive and caring with all the kids, making sure they were safe and having the best time. Everything was so well organized, and it made the day completely stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for a perfect celebration

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for budget-conscious families with energetic toddlers who need space to burn energy. Staff are genuinely attentive and prices undercut most competitors in the area. The baby zone works well for under-ones. Families should verify opening hours before travelling, as multiple visitors report arriving to find it closed unexpectedly.

A definite recommendation to take your children, really very very reasonable in terms of price. cheaper than all other places I have been to. My son really enjoyed it. They is plenty of free parking outside with no timelimits.

It’s a shame really because I remember it years ago being quite nice. As you drive into Pear Mill finding the entrance isn’t signposted too well, we had to walk around a while until we found the front door. It’s clearly in need of a lot of work, the mats are all ripped and worn. Weirdly they have birds in a cage near to wear they sell food and their cage isn’t very clean. I just think it needs a lot of updating and love and attention to bring it back to it’s former glory days. One thing I would say is the food is good in portion sizes and my daughter enjoyed her spaghetti. I don’t think my three year old would complain and that’s the main thing but catering for the little ones is only part of it, you have to make the parents feel comfortable too, that seems to be the key to success because we spend hours there too. Now the staff are friendly and warm which helps but the state of the toilets made my stomach turn, I can’t see us returning when there are so many other nicer play centres to visit not far away.

Disappointed because this place is so convenient for myself with twins, it’s just on my doorstep and it allows my twins to run wild for an hour and burn of some energy which helps me have a minute and a coffee. It’s a place they can play and be independent but unfortunately they come away from their visit full of coughs and colds due to the uncleanliness. It’s so dirty, and the smell is so unpleasant. Iv had a brew from here and it smelt like perfume, like one of the women staff have dryed the cup with their top. Iv read some of these reviews and many state how unclean it is and apparently written by run of the mill themselves they are going to get it sorted but it seems this never happens. I am going to report this further as these important complaints never seem to get listened too and us as parents want to bring our children here and leave with no health issues. It needs a massive uplift also. It’s such a shame as this can potentially be an amazing place to make memories.
