Reviews
The Ark is a nice place to take the kids on a rainy day. Beautiful views from the windows and an outside seating area. £9.50 per child for two hours of play isn't too bad. There are better play areas out there for the same price or cheaper. There were a few people without socks on or wearing shoes which I found disgusting. No one was there to monitor this or to tell the individuals they needed to wear them. Could probably do with better signage on the entrances to make people more aware of this. There is a sign near the under 3's play area, to the right of the counter which you wouldn't really notice unless needing the toilet and another one on column which no one really pays attention to. No member of staff asked me to read the rules or if I understand the terms and conditions prior to setting the children free. Plenty of signage about not bringing your own food or drinks into the Ark and several about safeguarding children. The staff were polite and friendly. I think the food is a little over priced for what they have to offer but this is a personal opinion - Paid just over £10 for 3 ice lolleys.nThe car park has cramped spaces and can be awkward to get small children out of the car or if one is a little larger than the average person when cars are parked so close to another when parked well within the lines.nI like the idea of a locked gate at the front of the entrance which can only be operated by a member of staff behind the counter. Means you don't have to worry about your child vanishing out of the building if you have taken your eyes off them for a short time. The only downside to that, you may have to wait several minutes before a staff member notices you to let you out...A small price to pay for security.
Had a lovely mother’s day pottery painting session, plenty of space, dogs welcome, could eat there too and no rush to finish. Everyone’s pieces came out really well too. Would recommend.
Great softplay with good food & coffee! Both my children 6 & 3 years old love it here and have done since they were very young. It's a good size, and clean! You can also get a decent lunch and/or coffee while the kids play. Throughly recommend!
I've been to the soft play twice recently with my 1 year old. On both occasions an older child has been playing in a boisterous manner in the under 3 area. On both occasions I've had to get a manager to remove an older child from the area after they nearly hurt my 1 year old. The area isn't watched closely by the staff and the age restriction isn't enforced. I will not be returning.
What a great day we had! Children had a fantastic time in the soft play with a lovely selection of food. Facilities were great and staff could not have been more helpful. After lunch we then did some pottery painting. The children had such a great time and cannot wait to go back!
