Children's space in Bristol

“We had a fabulous time at boomerang… I didn’t book online in advance as i wasn’t sure I was actually going to attend until the day.. (the centre prefers you to book online prior to your visit) but the lady on reception was so helpful, she even searched for my childminder discount code to ensure I got the discount. The new play arena is fantastic, I love love love the new addition of the bondi beach wooden play area in the under 5’s section that has replaced the old tired bouncy castle, I like that the younger children have a rope bridge now and can develop their climbing skills on the ladders to the top platform. The colouring station in the quiet area is great for children who need some down time of the hustle and bustle of the large play area. The only negative I have is that the toys in the baby section could do with some batteries to enhance the babies play. The addition of dingo dollars (reward points) is great, but not sure what they equate too and what you can use them for. I would recommend this place to keep the children entertained and definitely on a hot summers to keep out the heat”

“We was with 7y old daughter and was very happy. We was on weekend and must wait 1 hour for available tickets. But area was lovely, staff very friendly. Train fantastic. Clean toilet. Nice cafe.”

“Newark Park is a real hidden gem! We had such a wonderful time exploring both the house and its stunning grounds. The historic house itself is fascinating, and the volunteers inside were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing all sorts of interesting stories about its rich past. It felt like stepping back in time while still being warmly welcomed. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive – beautiful gardens, open lawns, wooded walks, and plenty of spots to simply sit and enjoy the scenery. We were delighted to see peacocks gracefully wandering around, adding an extra touch of charm to the day. For families or anyone looking for some active fun, the summer activities were fantastic. We loved seeing games like outdoor chess, croquet, badminton, skipping, and more set up on the lawns. It really gave the visit a playful, relaxed atmosphere. The mix of history, nature, and hands-on fun makes Newark Park perfect for all ages. Whether you want a peaceful walk, a bit of history, or a family day outdoors, it has it all. We left feeling happy, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!”

“Great amusements, combined with animals, a small indoor zoo, a mini train, a mini Jeep ride, a massive play barn for all child ages, a cafe, restaurant, shop, picnic areas, a hedge maze, playgrounds including a giant bouncy pillow thing, boats, high rope activity, friendly staff, family safe environment. WiFi is available free of charge but limited phone signal. I particularly liked the new crazy golf, amazingly creative and attractively done. Really good job everyone!!! (So much there that I've probably forgotten something!)”

“Free entry for visitors. Ground floor and first floor has the exhibition. Second floor is great for city view. They have a lovely cafe and shop. Really enjoyed our visit to M Shed, must place to go.”

“I visited an excellent production of Sleeping Beauty in this lovely theatre. Both the production and the venue were lovely, with mulled wine available on the bar and comfortable seats with a great view of the stage throughout.”

“I've been wanting to visit for a while and had no regrets, there's loads to see, the festive decor was great and we heard a volunteer give a talk about Salem Witch Trials which we didn't know was happening that day and really enjoyed! Would definitely come back in better weather to enjoy the gardens.”

“Great central location with convenient parking within walking distance. Perfect size venue for watching ABC. We would definitely come here again. They also book a great variety of artists and acts.”

“Went to grandsons party, an amazing facility with plenty of pleasant staff to ensure everything is safe and running well. Children had so much fun on the equipment with lots of choices. The whole place is bright and clean. The variety of challenges means children of a wide range age enjoy themselves. We enjoyed the jacket potatoes which were well presented with salad and a delicious coleslaw. Highly recommend.”

“Helpful Centre staff. Wonderful food from Mariam at Ababos Cuisine Cafe..highly recommend you try it!”

“Very welcoming people, Volunteers amazing. 10/10”

“What an absolutely exceptional venue. We enjoyed a great gig here on Sunday 2nd November, but by far the best thing about this place was the welcome by the amazingly friendly security staff, and the staff checking tickets. Other venues could learn a whole lot from you folks about how to make patrons feel comfortable, welcome, and safe.”

“Nice modern build. Used downstairs room which has a bar, disabled access, no parking structure in area of residential only parking. Free on street parking further up the hill, its a steep hill too.”

“Saw Good Bye Mr Haffman. From start to finish a fantastic experience very moving thought provoking and funny to boot. All the actors made this play come alive. Nice theatre sat in the stalls third row and had a good clear view of every thing. Sell out every seat taken great atmosphere.”

“Great local community hall with lots of varied activities. Accessible. Baby change and toilets on site. Tiny car park is often quite busy, spaces are on the small side.”

“Lovely little theatre I have a seen a great amount of shows in. The visibility is good no matter what seat your in as its almost every row is elevated. Building also has an intresting history to it (was once an old church)”

“Great social club, excellent for functions. Friendly locals.”

“Stunning store set out like a home with every room styled.”

“This is a community centred project hiring people who would not otherwise get able to work. Turn up on your own and I would guarantee someone would chat to you within 5 minutes. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the location as close to Southgate shopping area. Well worth supporting.”

“I’d really wanted to get into guitar for years and I’ve found Richard to be an amazing gateway and teacher! I really enjoy playing some of my favourite songs (lots of Bowie ;)) and I’ve even had the chance to play in open mic nights which I’ve really enjoyed.”

“I cannot recommend Little Foxes strongly enough. Our child has loved their two years there and has grown hugely in confidence. They have loved it in all weathers, and to be honest the HQ where they spend breakfast and tea club alone is better than other nurseries we've spent time in. Little Foxes are so creative in how they use the woods and give the kids really healthy levels of responsibility from a young age. Thank you Little Foxes!”

“Used for my son’s 4th birthday and it was perfect. All kids loved it and had such a good time. Set-up and take-down was seamless and tailored to the hall we used for best use of space. Very much recommend! Thank you.”
