Toad Hall Adventure play is open 7 days a week and offers soft play facilities for children from…read morebabies through to juniors. There's a good under 3s section with a ball pit and 2-stage climbing frame (soft). There are some sit-on soft toys and some blocks. The floor is a bit suspect and there's a bit of an old smell to the area - nothing terrible but you do notice it. The play equipment appears safe but could be in better condition. The main soft play is a triple height affair with climbing, balls, slides and chutes. It's safe and in better condition than the toddler area. At weekends and after school this place can get packed but, during the day it's not too bad. A cafe facility is available serving teas, coffees, soft drinks and snacks. The prices are reasonable. Tables are kept away from the soft play being behind a low wall. They are OK but there's not a good view of the play area meaning that it's hard to have a coffee and take care of your child. For many parents this just seems to mean that they don't watch their child and so you do have to be careful that your child doesn't get set upon by unrully kids. It's not a particularly comfortable place but it's a good local option for a rainy day. Car parking is available.

I gave this 4 stars because of that reason. I didn't give 1,2 or 3, because when we ate dinner, I didn't like the ice cream, so a very kind gentleman called Steve brought over a jelly. Overall, I was very happy with my visit, and will most definitely visit there again! I absolutely loved the whole day, and there are lots of things for small children and adults to do! A wonderful day out

While they were waiting…read morethey had glitter tattoos and face paints to keep them occupied there was a bouncy castle and at the end they were given a driving licence each which the kids went nuts over, a medal and a really lovely certificate with their names on. All the staff were very friendly and organised the children well. We held it in Parliament Hill School Camden which had free parking and had a relaxed atmosphere. Claudio was amazing with kids. I would deffinately recomend having a party with him. He gave my boy a gorgeous trophy with his name engraved on it and Jack had a lap of honour. Jack said it was the best party he's ever had. He sleeps with his trophy next to his lamp. Hes very proud of it.

Bumpis is a great place to take the kids during the school holidays or after school…read more I regularly take my 2 boys here if they need to burn of some energy (and I need a break!). The play area itself is brilliant - in my opinion, its one of the best in the area. It is split on 3 levels with lots of different areas to keep the kids entertained for a few hours. They have an air gun at the top which fires out soft balls which the kids just love. There are a couple of slides and all the othe play equipment you would expect. There is a cafe area with lots of seating so unless it's a particularly busy day, you should be able to get a seat. They do lovely lattes/cappucinos etc and cakes, crisps as well as hot food. Parties start from £7.75 and are really great fun. The party have there own party room (there are a few rooms here) so you are away from everyone else while eating party food and playing party games. Although I can't remeber how much I paid to get in last time, the prices here are pretty average and they are a little cheaper after school.

Compared to the postage stamp farms closer in to the city, this place is positively palatial, and…read moreseems to take up most of King George V Park. However it's probably just as densely populated with animals, including ponies, pigs, sheep and goats. The have hen coops where you are allowed to feed bread to the chickens, and a pond which has several species of duck and some rare geese. It's all very pretty and clean, though the cats ignore visitors and I couldn't blame them. Several visiting kids were going on about 'scaring the cats away', right in front of their smiling parents. What's that about? You've got to wonder if some people deserve places like this Being larger than the average city farm they can go a little further with the animals They have a shire horse, a very unfriendly turkey who was not happy with anyone coming near his domain, ferrets (not visible when I visited) peacocks and a kookaburra. You don't see one of them on a farm every day! Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

Though I know there is a park opposite the front gate to the farm which has a small car park. The farm itself is set out very well as soon as you enter you are greeted by a pen of goats and sheep, they look very well looked after. They also have pigs, chickens, horses, ponies and ducks to name but a few. They have special days during the summer when they have kids days out, I think they do face painting etc. Dont just pass this little attraction, go to it today, it is well worth a visit!

You dont have to be an expert art enthusiast, first of all you pick what you want to paint - a cup, or plate or vase etc etc, then you get given a choice of lots of different paints and let loose! There are books you can look at to help you, and the staff are really friendly and are on hand to answer any questions. Take your time and paint your cup or whatever - when you are finished they bake it and you come back and get it a few days later. Makes a great present!

When I came here as a child the fun seemed to go on forever and ever since I have wanted to go back because I want to actually see and remember what I was doing that made it so fun! You have to have a kids birthday here as it's perfect to let them loose for hours while you chill and get to know some of the other parents. There are a few things on as well if your a parent so if your the anti-social type then you can just go and watch t.v. I would advise to have it on a Saturday so the blokes can watch the football results come in whilst the ladies can natter for a while. Deep Breath..... For those who can't keep away from business then there is free wi-fi and for those who want their kids to be constantly learning their is age specific learning activities. A nice restaurant which offers healthy and unhealthy, what on this planet is stopping you?

Nice big space, free parking, reasonably priced. Food is quite good too, tasty and a great range.We often go in the late afternoon for a play and eat, which is fairly reasonable, although the price increases fairlly rapidly if drinks are bought on top. Could do with the tables being cleared a little more often, but all in all a great place to take children. However can become very busy at weekends and school holidays, although fab for a rainy day!! A new sensory area has been added, but already each time i go it seems to be a little more in a state of disrepair and missing computers, which is a shame.
