Including which soft plays are open near me
Soft play areas are a great way to let your toddlers and older children run free. Soft play centres are more than enjoyable gyms, they are a great place for your child to play, use up their energy, and do all the things they may not be allowed to do at home.
Indoor soft play is not only for the children. On rainy days a good soft play can be a great family attraction that encourages movement and creative play.
We have split this post into regions so you can find the best soft plays near where you live.
As always, if I have missed your favourite soft play centre off this list then please do let me know!
You may have to book so please make sure you contact them before you visit.
