What to do and see in Southampton, England: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers
Southwest of London is Southampton (Soton to the locals), a metropolitan area centered around the port. However, tucked away on the side streets are ancient gems such as the Tudor House, Mottisfont Abbey, and "God's House," a museum located in a tower in the medieval wall. The ultra-modern Sea City Museum celebrates Southampton's seafaring past and the RMS Titanic. Looking for nightlife? Travelers can dance the hours away with bars, clubs, and live music, all accessible by public transportation.

Awesome place that's always very welcoming. Their selection of games is huge, their food and drink options are really good and very tasty (though they should have more beers ;P) and their staff are unendingly helpful - If you want help with rules or a suggestion for a game they've always been incredibly enthusiastic and patient. We go regularly as a group of friends, and couldn't recommend it enough.

A great nights entertainment, we had a great host and managed to escape on time so quite satisfying, free popcorn and drinks and sweets during the pre game film and we had a few laughs while doing the puzzles, would highly recommend this for a night out rather than rotting the brain with tv.

Love Woodmill, and all the team who always make us feel welcome, safe and relaxed. This time we took part in the Easter paddle and picnic. It was great, so much fun and just challenging enough for us as newbies (we’ve only paddled a handful of times before). 100% recommend giving it a go!

Ever since my first visit after the first lockdown, I've been so impressed with the efforts of the staff to maintain the cleanliness of the place in accordance with the covid regulations. My little girl absolutely loves this place and it has really helped her development. The wide range of activities is fantastic, from a crafting area and role play area to the main soft play areas which are seperated for babies and toddlers and then for older children, this place is amazing. I regularly take my daughter along for a visit, at least twice a week. The staff are absolutely lovely and always have a friendly smile for everyone. If anyone was in two minds about whether to pay a visit or not, well just do it, I assure you, you won't be disappointed!

This was my first visit to a soft play and I was impressed. Nice and cheap to get in, seats, tables, snacks, drinks, loads to do, and loads to keep our little one occupied. The missus has been to a few soft plays and she also said it was one of the best she's been to. Really nice staff we met too.
