The 30 Best Children's entertainment in Reading

“I took my son here yesterday and David and his colleague were so accommodating. My son was a bit worried about dark and loud noises but they warned us when this would happen and kept on a little light. Hints were very good and welcomed without telling us the answers. The room was so well themed, clean and so much fun! Can’t wait to go back and try an other one! We did the pharaoh one! 5 stars - would recommend!”

“We had the BEST time playing Outbreak at Zero Latency VR in Reading. The massive playing area was a breath of fresh air compared to our last VR experience, where you stood in a tiny square and couldn’t move around. It made for an extremely immersive experience where you’d have to physically walk to an objective and navigate the map, which also helped with motion sickness. We found the website and the booking system very user friendly. Each game had a detailed description, number of players, length of play time and a short video trailer. This made game selection very easy and stress free. We were impressed with the safety brief, the equipment demo and our games master, Will. He explained everything in detail with a bit of humour to make it interesting and easy to remember! Outbreak, a co-op zombie shooter, was extremely fun, fast-paced and kept us on edge the entire time with plenty of screaming throughout. Our group of four ranged from experienced gamers to complete newbies, and regardless of the level, everyone had an absolute blast. We loved the game result email sent to everyone afterwards, which included two highlight videos, breakdown of team/individual performances and stats compared to other players. This definitely added a competitive touch to our VR experience! This was a fantastic group activity, well priced and highly recommended. Easy 10 out of 10.”

“We has an AMAZING time it was so fun exciting and hard at times but it was all a buzz definitely going to try another room . We did Alice and wonderland . Jack was amazing very friendly and nothing was a problem for him. Thank you”

“Last minute called and they kindly arranged ut for us. We did Dirty Money. Challenging (2 of us) but great fun and a good range of interactive puzzles. The host was friendly and we had a good time.”

“Did the Jumanji escape room today with my wife son and daughter, absolutely amazing time and the host was also brilliant polite and friendly, he's a great credit to your team! It was the perfect balance of not to easy and not to hard. Genuinely I do mean this, whoever designed these escape rooms are an absolute genius, very very impressive!”

“We had the lovely Agent Lucy look after us at our Escape Room adventure. We were welcomed at the entrance by Lucy and she was polite, smiling and made sure the group had a great experience. There was a slight issue with the bulb going so we were offered another room but the team decided to continue with the room using torches to see by instead. It made it harder but they all said how much fun it was. Will definitely come back to do another room, the team have even said they’d like to make sure Agent Lucy was the one running their room again.”

“Fantastic time had! What a brilliant kid free evening. Such a rewarding and really fun experience. With huge thanks to Summer and Jordan who were brilliantly supportive. Will be back!”

“What a blast! Dizzy Dean is a wonderful party entertainer. He had a room full of four-year-olds and adults alike belly laughing – no easy feat! Parents were raving about how much fun their kids had and, even better, how engaged the little ones were, giving the adults a much-needed break. The birthday girl hasn't stopped talking about the show since. If you're looking for an entertainer who can captivate everyone, Dizzy Dean is your guy!”

“I had 5 friends visiting and did the Big Hangover Escape Room. It was a hoot, there's lots to work out and you really do need to work together. Harry was our Games Master and he was brilliant, lots of fun. We needed help a couple of times but rather than just give us the answer, he suggested where we should look for ourselves. It was challenging and very enjoyable. This is my second visit (having done the Last Testament) and we'll certainly be back.”

“I had a great experience with Dreamztime while setting up my new home. They designed my kitchen and wardrobes exactly as per my requirements. The best part was their personalized approach. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the finishing gives a premium look. Their team is super professional, and the coordination was seamless. I’m very happy with the end result!”

“To the Veo Events team, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day extra special! Nicola and the team provided us with amazing finishing touches to our wedding day and I would highly recommend them if your planning your wedding. Throughout the planning, Nicola was great to work alongside, super responsive and even came to a venue visit with us. The team were so attentive on the day and went above and beyond to set up the staging, aisle runners, lighting and a beautiful dry ice shot for our first dance. Thank you so much! Mr & Mrs Mustafa”

“My kids absolutely loved the dev centre at Garth Hill, had the biggest smiles on their faces when they left and can't wait to go back. Big thank you to Alan for making them feel so welcome!”

“My daughter has been going to MonkeyMoos since September and I cannot praise it enough! The setting is bright, colourful and welcoming and the staff are all so lovely and enthusiastic. My daughter adores her key worker and willingly goes to her when I drop her off, which is such a relief for me as, like most Mums, I easily suffer with 'Mummy Guilt'! I cannot express how reassuring it is to know that my daughter is happy and well looked. I go to work happy, knowing she's absolutely fine and probably not missing me at all! It sounds cheesy but at MonkeyMoos you really do get a sense that each child is treated as an individual. When I drop my daughter off the staff are pleased to see her and when I pick her up I get a detailed run down of what she's been up to during the day, so it's obvious that she's had personal attention all day. The Tapestry is FAB! To get photo updates throughout the day is every Mum's dream come true! You feel like you're still involved in your child's day and again, it's reassuring when you see a photo of your child smiling and having a good day. My daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds since she's been going to nursery and we're almost wishing we'd sent her earlier! I would 100% recommend MonkeyMoos. I'm already dreading the day she'll have to leave :-)”

“My son had a wonderful 5th birthday party. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the children were engaged the whole time. Ben was brilliant with the children and they all made very exciting Lego models based on superhero’s and dinosaurs theme! The time of the session was perfect and we had to kings so we could sing happy birthday, then cur the cake while the children completed a final task! A wonderful birthday party MC would highly recommend.”

“We loved our first visit to Dragon Sensory and will definitely be back! The play area so clean with high quality toys. The music and lighting made it a hugely relaxing experience for me beyond just my baby’s needs which I wasn’t expecting! I loved that I was offered a cup of tea on arrival - just lovely to be taken care of. Thank you - what a fantastic business for the local community.”

“My 2 year old son and 7 year old niece enjoyed coming to play here together. It was something different from the usual softplay, I like the fact it was one free adult for each child entry. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. The place was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the baby changing facilities being in the only mens toilet, could do with one in the ladies changing area. Hidden gem.”

“Took six 10-year-olds to the Escape Room for a birthday party and they had a great time! Was initially worried they might be too young for it, but definitely not. Janos was a great host - really entertaining and fun, and was very good at keeping them moving/providing hints when necessary. Highly recommended!”

“Our son has been going to Teepee for 5 months now and his development since he started is amazing. The staff are so caring and personable and it is clear that the children’s development, well-being and happiness is so important to them. We have no concerns whatsoever about leaving him. He absolutely loves being there and he always has the biggest smile when we pick him up...the array of facilities that the nursery has for the children to use and benefit from is amazing. He gets to eat a variety of lovely home cooked food and whilst he’s enjoying all of that, we are sent updates and pictures through an app which is lovely and much appreciated! The staff have always been willing and able to speak to us about any questions or concerns we may have and that has been the case since day one. Choosing Teepee was the best decision we could have made!”

“A fantastic centre for SEN kids which isn't just for the younger kids like many similar centres. Plenty of space and activities inside and outside Highly worth the drive out”

“Jade was fantastic, really helpful and dealt with our request really last min. Everything was perfect. Thanks”

“It is atmospheric here. A good place for a children's birthday party.”

“We have had 3 of our children attend BB at Norden Road and they have had the best time developing whilst having great fun. The staff are just amazing and always greeted us with a huge warm smile in the mornings and gave us great feedback on how their day was. We have felt like they have been like our extended family and have had an the most happiest memories at BB. Marzena is just superb!”

“This was our fourth time this year seeing Zippos Circus in Blackheath, and it’s officially become a tradition for my daughter and me! We’ve loved every single moment - the show is thoroughly entertaining, beautifully engaging, and full of heart. It’s such a joy to see performers from all over the world sharing their incredible talents. There’s a perfect mix of suspense (some acts had us watching with bated breath!) and joy - with lots of laughter, awe, and memories made along the way. You are truly inspiring - so much so that my daughter has now decided she wants to join your troupe when she’s older… but only if I come along to clap for her on tour! Each time we see an artist from my country of origin, my daughter gets especially excited - it’s such a lovely and unexpected connection. Genuine entertainment at its best. Thank you for the magic you bring to the ring!”

“Forest segway was super fun. However, 1hour felt very short and we've wished it was at least 30mins longer to fully enjoy the ride.”

“Such a cute place .. I was more excited than my one year old daughter.. I managed two trips on different trains. Loved the experience. I will visit the place again whenever possible.”

“A really fantastic venue on the outskirts of Maidenhead. I only had time to attend a gig in the studio which was converted for the evening into an intimate theatre. Very friendly staff and very well curated.”

“This venue has many purposes I understand. It’s a fabulous site and for me, I attend a weekly painting class. The room we use is airy and overlooks a lawn and the river …..”

“Fabulous little theatre group. Great at doing Terry Pratchett's plays. Players fabulously characterful, reflecting closely the characters in the books. Sets were very innovative! Loved them!”

“Mother goose was great all Everyone really enjoy it The cast were fantastic”

“Last Saturday I had a Inter County chess tournament in this wonderful hall. Venue is superb with excellent parking space, easily rechable via maps. Hall has good space and eminities.”
