The fireworks were the BEST I’ve ever seen. They gave me free tickets to go into the enchanted forest which was brilliant. I can not believe how much new stuff you have introduced this year it was amazing. The staff are also fantastic. Well done to you all and thank you for the best bonfire night ever, can’t wait for the Christmas adventure to start, going to do the ice skating next time.

We went there with our 5 and 3 years old children and spent around three hours. They thoroughly enjoyed the bird display and wallabies and we will definitely come back during summer so we could spend a bit more time exploring.

We held a party here for my sons 6th birthday, he had 9 friends, they played in the soft play area then we we were called upstairs for food.... fab food, a sausage, chicken nuggets, and a fish finger with chips! They could have beans if they wanted! The ladies serving were lovely! They then had ice cream or ice lollies! Then back downstairs for laser tag! The guy explained the rules then off they went through the play barn with their guns! Fab soundtrack playing to get the adrenaline going! Even the dads got to have a go! Really reasonable too, was £15 per child for all that!! We had an amazing time and I couldn’t recommend it enough! We didn’t know mini monsters did laser tag so this was a great find!! Thank you to all at Mini Monsters in Ruswarp, you have a great team!!

Admission included a FREE tea or coffee for me and FREE juice AND fruit ( banana, apple, orange or cup of mixed fresh fruit) for my grandson. Big play areas, clean toilets, lots of tables and chairs, really good choice on the menu - all reasonably priced and portions are enormous compared to other soft play places we have visited. Food was all cooked fresh and the staff were really friendly and helpful, Would definitely recommend and will be going back again.

I visited yesterday for the first time with my 2 year old and almost 4 year old. We had a fabulous few hours and would definitely recommend a visit here! It is a great size to be able to see children at all times and at the time of our visit (Monday morning) was extremely quiet. The food and drinks are lovely, basic food menu of sandwiches, toasties, mini pizzas, cakes, chocolate bars etc but all reasonably priced and what children (and Mummies!) like to eat. The whole place is kept so clean and tidy. The two ladies were amazing and were cleaning everything so thoroughly, plates were instantly cleared away from the tables when they were finished with and the floors, tables, high-chairs were all immaculate. Unfortunately, my little girl had an accident whilst we were there and split her lip. The two ladies were so kind, helpful and reassuring and helped to make my little one feel much happier.Thank you so much, I was really grateful. We will definitely be back soon and will recommend to others : )

Reviewed By Triangle84 - Norfolk, United Kingdom

Very impressed with this soft play centre we visited today whilst on holiday in the area. Pre booking was essential (did it the night before). Queue to get in (socially distanced) but we were in the building within a few minutes into our allocated time a lot. Very helpful staff who ticked our names off and showed us to a table. A lot of thought has gone into to making the centre Covid secure and it really showed, we all felt safe. Children had a wonderful time. Great value for money and a perfect activity for a rainy afternoon.

Kidzplay

Kidzplay is a great fun, clean, safe environment for the kids to explore and play without having any restrictions on where and what they can do We don’t allow our centres to be overcrowded, so whatever the weather and whatever the day you can still relax and socialise with ease Our food is all home made, so we know there is no added salt, sugar or other nasties in our food. The meat comes from the local butcher so is generally Yorkshire Meat and it tastes great! We believe in making sure you have a good time too! This is your two hours off from the daily round of breakfast, lunch and dinner so we want to make sure you make the most of it! We have loads of activities and events going on all year round.
