I visited Time Twisters on a very wet February morning when the schools were off and was told it…read morewas the busiest day they had had. We did have to wait about half an hour to get in but it was well worth the wait. The play area is well designed, fun, educational and good value for money. The play area is great. I had a three year old and a seven year old with me and they both had a ball. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Although the place was really busy, they were all smiling and nothing was too much bother. And the tables and chairs were good quality and comfortable - unusual in a soft play area! There was a long wait for food because of the volume of lunch orders but the food, when it came was excellent. There was a wonderful choice of healthy options and the portion sizes were generous. When the food arrived it was hot and well presented. The play area was safe and well secure - I had no fears that anyone could get in or out without permission from staff and the toilets were clean and well equipped. I was impressed with the stickers to encourage children to wash their hands too. Overall, I cannot recommend Time Twisters highly enough. Although it is a little pricier than some other soft play areas, it is worth the extra cash as both parents and children have a great time. Well done Time Twisters!

My four kids really enjoy visiting The Happy Castle…read more It's a soft play/climbing area which is really tall! There's a separated section for tots and a huge 'big kids' section. Parents are encouraged to use the apparatus themselves, which is always fun! The cafe is very reasonably priced and the food is average quality. Thankfully they also sell cheap pitchers of squash (the kids get through loads!).

I visited this time for Puff's toddler group trip and was delighted to go back. Smudge has now…read moredeclared herself far too grown up for this sort of activity much to my disgust as I loved our trips here when she was little. This visit was a beautifully sunny day so the perfect day to wander around checking out all the animals; goats, donkeys, GIANT bunnies, guinea pigs, cows, sheep, rats, collie dogs, geese and puff's favourite a cat - we have a cat at home!!! As well as a farmyard full of animals to check out, you can pet lots of the wee ones. A whole barn full of fluffy bunnies, chickens and guinea pigs to stroke. Unless like me you're allergic in which case not touching is a much better option - puffy eyes, manic sneezing and a snotty nose does not make for a fun day out. Once you have spent a happy hour trying to teach a stubborn one year old any animal noise other than meeow, and failed, there is still plenty to do here with an inflatable cow bouncy castle, indoor soft play area, tractors to ride, trampolines to bounce, fossils to uncover and a lovely cafe to eat cake and drink coffee in. It has to be said that a rainy day would not completely ruin a trip to Almond Valley. There is plenty to do under cover and even a big picnic barn to eat in, not to brag but we used it for shade because it was so hot.

They do lots of special activities, Christmas Fayres, Easter, all year round really. they have soft play for toddlers and a new bigger area for older kids.

Shocking is the best wau to describe this place, especially if you have a party. It is so…read moredisorganised, there was no one to tell you where to go or what to do, we had to wait at least 30-45 mins to go into the party room because they hadnt set up yet and there were no special features for the birthday girl like a special seat or a character that comes to sing happy birthday. Party game was musical statues but had to be abandoned because the CD player kept jumping. The party food was simply greasy pizza that hadnt been cut up, chips and crisps. It was so disorganised, unprofessional and utterly shambolic. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Especially if you like to give them some sense of independence. We moved to a smaller area that was considered more contained...somehow two of the kids managed to slip past us! It's a great place to go if your kids are older than 5 I would say...they have no real system for monitoring who is coming and going with kids which to me is a big scary deal. Anyone could leave with a child. There appears to be no policy to ensure that that child is meant to be with the person they are leaving with. Given that my son managed to give us the slip makes the thought of what could happen here not worth bearing. The food is average. And it is kept to a moderate standard of cleanliness. I don't think I'll be going back until the kids are older.

There is a cafe but it was closed when we were there. Entry is free, and there are stations to wash your hands. I didn't see any employees while I was there though, just a couple of other tourists. It was pretty empty so I felt like I had everything to myself. I saw some cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, lambs, and they were all adorable! You can't feed them but they are so friendly they sometimes let you pet them.

Walking around seeing all the animals was great and taking some photos of my experience. The weather was so hot, it felt like my head was burning a bit. Very impressive what I saw from goats, chickens, pigs, birds and many more. The young goats where so cute, I wanted to fit one in my pocket lol. I would recommend this place to anyone, if you love the outdoors and animals. You can get a Lothian Buses number 25 from Princess Street in Edinburgh and it will take you straight there also Gorgie City Farm is free to anyone too.

So much fun and not just for kids. It's a huge warehouse that is full of trampolines…read more Because they had issues when they first opened they make you watch a video before you can book tickets, fill in a disclaimer, and then undergo an in person briefing before you can get on the trampolines. It's all common sense and about not trying things that you don't know how to do. They have loads of lockers to store your stuff in while playing that you need a pound coin for. They also have cubby holes for non-valuable things if the lockers are too small. Make sure to arrive about 15 minutes before your session to allow time to do all the above. Once you get on the trampolining area you can play dodge ball (it's really hard to pick up balls while bouncing), bounce on trampolines or my favourite the foam pit area. There are several fun things in the foam pit area, trampolines that you can jump off into foam, a slack line, ropes, and a really high bit to jump off into foam. It's super fun and you will be embarrassed at how long it takes you to crawl out of the foam. There is a cafe and relaxing area upstairs if you have those that don't want to take part but I think pretty much everyone can do at least part of it. It's quite tiring so an hour is more than enough unless you are super fit and love trampolining. I'm planning to go again and work on jumping off the high bit without squealing. You know like the 6 year old in front of me did.

Nice place, more quiet than the bowling in fountainpark It…read morealso has a pool table, air hockey table and more. The good: Nice staff, £1 per game promotion between 4pm and 7pm, but as it is a special please check in advance. Renting of shoes adds another £1. So we each had two games and shoes for £3, bargain!! The bad: So many things went wrong with the Bowling computer.. Ok, things happen. But maybe once. We at least had 5 issues. Several times somebody only had 1 throw instead of two. Also the 'arm' that picks up the pins and puts them back for the second throw knocked pins over several times (we were on on lane 5). Especially frustrating if someone almost throws a Spare and then there is no last pin! Also only 3 seats per lane which is way too few! Because of the wonderful price when the special is on, I am still giving it 3 stars, although I would give 2.5 if it was possible. But I would be not happy if I had paid full!

Better value for money than the Fountain Park bowling. If…read moreyou book on line, you can get £13 for 1 hour lane hire for up to 6 people plus £1 for shoe hire. Free parking is always good. It is a little less fancy than the other bowling, but does the job and we always have a nice time here.
