Top 30 Best Fun and interactive play in Manchester

“This is such a unique place, we have not been anywhere like it before. I visited with a 2 year old and a 3 year old and they both loved it and got so much out of it. It’s a lovely place, especially good for children who get overwhelmed in large busy places. The couple who own this business were lovely and took some lovely photos of our children playing for us to to have. Can’t wait to return!”

“We had a fantastic day at Manchester Bees forest school today. It was lovely to see my two children grow in confidence throughout the day and get involved with so much, including lighting fires and drilling! Thanks to Siân for making everything so accessible for my daughter, who is deaf. The children went straight into the bath when we got home, and the water turned brown with mud! That’s the sign of a great day!”

“I have done several escape rooms before but this company has the best attention to detail and it is the most fun room I've done before. We did the wild west room and some of the clues were so clever and really had us laughing while we were taking the part. And the girls I was with loved the cowboy accent of the team member looking after us. Would highly recommend for anyone looking gfor a more fun escape room experience or for families. Will definitely be back to try another!”

“My daughter had a great day here. She can't wait to come back! This place offers something different than your usual play center. Staff and friendly and approachable too”

“Due to being born just before lockdown, Lydia hadn't been around many people when she first started, and was a very anxious baby with new people. Since starting I've noticed a huge improvement in how well she settles now with different people, the Famly system is great, keeping us up to do date. Fantastic nursery, thank you to all the staff.”

“Our Labrador loves his days at Walkeze, he is always tired out and happy after a day there. The services are really good value and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Can't recommend enough!”

“Tumbles is pretty much the only soft play centre we go to. Our 2 year old daughter loves it and is so excited when we pull up in the car park. The staff are really friendly and recognise us every time. Food and drinks are good and the menu is varied. Love getting a bacon muffin on an early Sunday morning! Staff keep a close eye on the apparatus and everything is really clean. There's lots for the kids to do, and capacity numbers are such that it doesn't get overrun/unsafe unlike other soft play centres we have visited. We'll be back again very soon, no doubt! :)”

“Had my daughters 5th birthday party here today and she loved it as did all her friends. The staff were great, especially with the party games. The party food and party bags were also enjoyed by the kids. Thanks for providing a great day for my daughter!”

“My sons absolutely loved it!! Neither of them are climbers and don’t like normal soft play as they can’t access it so to have all areas of the soft play be accessible was amazing! We didn’t need to assist them in their play at all, they could do it all themselves.”

“Just the most gorgeous little place and on my doorstep too!!! Googled more local play areas to take my grandson to and when this popped up I was a little doubtful as my experience of pubs with play areas has never really been good. How wrong could I be! Firstly the staff were so chatty and friendly and acted like they actually loved what they do. It was super clean with great coffee and as for the passion fruit cake well..... Mary Berry move over! We will be back. My grandson absolutely loved it to and he was 3 1/2”

“Want to say a big thank you!! Lily had the best time!! For her glow party All the staff was so friendly, helpful, customer service fantastic!! The manger, should be very proud of their staff they worked their socks off!! I hope they see this we are so happy with everything they did, they are a credit to the company. I’ve had so many message saying it’s the best party the guest have ever been to!! Thanks again!!”

“Fantastic birthday party, facilitated with ease from inception to fruition. Totally stress free, kids had a fantastic time, everything ran like clockwork. Would highly recommend. Special thanks to Leah and Eloise, our party hosts, who worked tirelessly to ensure it was a great experience for all.”

“Had my daughters 6th birthday here today…was so well organised and can’t recommend enough. The party hosts Elliot and Tonisha were really helpful and clearly enjoyed their job. The whole trip was a great experience and all our guests really enjoyed themselves…thanks”

“We had my sons 5th birthday party here and it was fantastic. Everything ran so smoothly and staff were incredibly helpful. My son and all of his friends had a great time. Would definitely recommend for a hassle free party venue.”

“We had a great time today (11th Feb 2023) for my daughter's 6th Birthday. The children liked the play centre, the quads, and the food. It was clean, busy but not crowded. I liked that there was an area reserved for parents as well as the party room. The party was well-managed and the host was informative. We also hired Funky Faces Manchester face painter, who was excellent, and it was good of the venue to let us do that. They were good with getting health and safety information such as ingredients and allergens of the cake we brought, and insurance details of the face painter. Everyone had a lovely time and we would definitely recommend it. Thank you!”

“Great play centre. Nice and clean with lots of different activities for the kids to enjoy. Attended a party here and it was expertly organised, the staff were extremely friendly and made the kids feel very welcome. The centre also includes a lovely cafe area for the adults to grab a drink or some yummy treats. Will definitely be bringing my kids back here.”

“Excellent open space with sports facilities. Two good football pitches Basketball courts Play area Worth a visit”

“Fantastic place, super friendly staff, cafe reasonable priced and so much for the kids to do they all loved it.... this is the 2nd visit now and we will defo be back again...”

“Very good play areas. Clean areas. My 13 month old grandson had a great time. Hot and cold snacks available. Children's and adults breakfasts available too. Very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Would recommend.”

“Good place to take your kids to use up some energy. Staff were friendly. Seemed to be plenty of choice on the menu. Glad when we went it wasn't busy. Can imagine peak times it would be madness in there. Not that the zip line was open, but personally I think I should be included in the cost along with the trampolines. Definitely recommend.”

“Nice relatively quiet playground (at least when the weather is a bit chilly). There is lots of space for kids to run around but it is for slightly older ones.”

“We have just finished our first term of Adventure Babies with Hannah and it has easily become our favourite class. Hannah is so creative with the props for class, and she does a brilliant job at engaging all the babies and parents. It's just such a lovely group to go to, and we look forward to it every Tuesday. Looking forward to another term coming up for more adventures!”

“My daughter loves this place, she has so much fun here. The staff are amazing, you can see it's more than a job to them, it has a magical atmosphere!”

“Myself and my son love Jen's story and sensory sessions. Jen is so lovely and personable with each and every child and adult.”

“Great school, helped me through my childhood! Would recommend to anyone!”

“I've sent 3 of my children to this nursery and they've all loved it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking around for a nursery in the area,, 10/10”

“My son absolutely loves it here, he always comes home with a smile on his face. The staff are amazing and very helpful, easy to talk to and help in anyway they can.”

“Excellent online shop good selection of toys for my dogs. Ordered and delivered next day. Great service, Highley recommend thank you will be back. Julian”
