   Soft play is definitely NOT worth it. Massively overpriced and arbitrarily split up by age ranges so kids under 5 have barely anything they can actually access that’s fun or challenging and if you’re there with kids of multiple ages you’ve got no chance of keeping an eye on everyone because it’s not easy to navigate between frames. The area for under 2s is also very small to navigate as the parent, making it hard for everyone to enjoy comfortably. Cafe also had lots of items unavailable which didn’t help. Won’t bother again personally

   We had such an amazing visit today. My two year old is an avid climber and loves jumping a complete dare devil. The bounce area was great fun, the soft play offers both junior and baby and toddler areas. It also has a sensory room. My little Investigator explore all areas and loved it. We will definitely be returning and bring a few friends. We highly recommend this place. Staff were warm and friendly too x

   Great Soft play with 3 different sections. We used baby and toddler and junior play. Want to try bounce next time. Kids had great fun.

   Its just not that fun... it looks amazing, but my son of 4, (who knows and loves his softplays) was bored in under an hour. Its well put together, and very clean. But overall it feels a little too clinical and structured to the point it's not that interesting. The little track area was empty.. was there not meant to be some cars there!? The ball cannons didn't work, as no balls were there. Left over foam balls were left. But I dont think it's ever checked. I asked someone about it. And got a none answer. The sensory room is like out of a hospital. Some stuff also not working. All in all. Very disappointed. Won't come again. And wouldn't actually reccomend it. Maybe if you had 2 kids or more, they may (probably will) have more fun by bouncing off each other.. But my son is normally happy going about with me. But here he was just bored. £6 each for socks also adds up. All in all. £20 entry doesn't justify it at all. Rather gutted. I want to give it 3 stars. But it was such a disappointment, and the interaction with the staff reduces it.

   Fab! Set in the old swimming pool, the Toddlers Park was just brilliant. Only let-down? For me anyway, it was the lack of healthier options for kids in the café. Staff were great though! Thanks, we’ll be back :-)

   We had lots of fun. My little one is 10 months and loved exploring. I found the food quite expensive for what it was but then there are lots of nice cafes in the area if you really wanted. It is very convenient to be able to have a chat and a snack mid play.

   We booked a party at Exploria yesterday for my daughters 9th Birthday. My daughter and her 15 friends had such a brilliant time. The staff were lovely and accommodating as soon as we arrived and made the whole experience really fun for the kids. Our host was really lovely and so professional. Food was great and the whole party ran really smoothly. Overall a great experience and we would definitely consider another party here in the future.

   I took my niece here, I thought it was good quality for the price. We had booked from 3pm until 5pm, I liked the fact there is something there for all ages as well as abilities. The only thing that did let it down was the state of the toilets, my disabled mum used the disabled toilet where one was flooded with toilet paper all over the floor and no hand dryer, the other was dirty and unable to be used. The main toilets were also in a shocking state of rubbish and toilet paper all over the floor as well as some toilets unusable due to not being cleaned. I know that this is because of certain people not caring about how they use a toilet but it is up to the business to keep and maintain the cleanliness, I've run pubs so have seen all sorts in the past. However I will bring my niece back as she loved it and it is a great place.

   Awesome experience, I would really recommend. I really liked all the natural light. Great facilities, kids had a blast. The section for toddlers looked really impressive. I can't think of anywhere I've seen such an impressive facility for really small children, and babies.

   The baby sensory area is great! My 11 month old loved it so much that she went to a nap right after this. The place has lots of space, the cafe serves good coffee and the price is fair.
