There are lots of swings and rides, it's in the fresh air, so they can run around and tire themselves out, less chance of picking up bugs and germs than at, say, an indoor play area, it's easily accessible by car (although you sometimes have to be a little creative about parking) and moreover it's free ! There's the river nearby for feeding ducks and plenty of open space for kicking a ball around or flying a kite. Get the little ones to cycle there and they will be even more tired after a visit - result !

I want to get a Seasons pass just for the play area! You are able to purchase food in the play area and they have a nice selection for a picky eaters.

The Watford branch of Gambado is brand new, so everything is sparkling clean and attractive to look at. The whole area is large and well spaced. Taking focal point was a massive playframe. There was a large four-lane slide as well as some of those rotating slides (not sure what it's called). There was a seperate area for under-2s. Tame enough to keep older kids away but still fun for the younger ones. They had large building blocks too, a nice touch. Next to the playframe was a climbing wall. The cafe was okish, nothing too great. Food was well presented but limited in variety. The only hot meal options seemed to be pizza and sandwiches. There were some nice salads too. The cafe had nice seating, transparent rounded chairs in different colours. Very well spaced out tables, not your typical softplay cafe. Prices were a bit on the high side. They had some areas with big chalkboards for the children to scribble on. And another place for musical experimenting, different things to bang on and make sounds. They also had some magnet play. Under some clear glass thingies were magnet shavings, pins etc. that children could pull a magnet over, causing patterns. There was also a fairly large track for dodgem cars. For adults there was a seperate lounge. There were computers with internet access, newspapers etc. It didn't look like children were allowed there, the notice said Adults Only. Strange that, who'd be watching the kids while the parents sat in a seperate area? It cost £15 entrace for me and the kids. By far the most expensive place for this sort of activity. You didn't have to spend any money inside though (unless you want to eat), everything was unlimited. There were plenty of lockers, clean and spacious, to deposit your belongings. It is free to use and you only need a £1 coin cif you want to lock it (it is refunded). Toilets are reasonably clean too, but I don't know if that is because it was a quiet day. Would recommend it if nothing cheaper is close to you. Works out quite expensive for a small family even.

Hours of adrenaline rushing family fun (for those aged ten and over) which takes aerial trekking to new extremes. Swing, climb and zip at 20ft and 40ft. High up in the trees there are over twenty different elements to conquer including a 3G swing. For the more adventurous there is an 80ft platform from which a fan descender jump can be made as well as a 1000ft zip wire. Both respectively thought to be the longest and highest in the country! Forget climbing walls - we also have tree climbing (with dry tooling for the very experienced) to heights of 65ft! Do this as an "extra" or as a group outing where teams may race each other over three way courses to the top. This year we also have Segways! After you've tried all the fun, enjoy chatting about your experiences in our Woodland Cafe.

Adorable zoo about an hour to hour and a half from Central London. If you have the time and a car I…read moredefinitely recommend this zoo over the ZSL zoo. Every exhibit has multiple viewpoints here. There were plenty of opportunities to easily see all the animals here. The enclosures were extremely well kept and I think all had an indoor and outdoor area for the animals. There are multiple play areas throughout for kids here too. My kids also enjoyed the animatronic dinosaurs here (very cute). Food here was reasonably priced but we ate outside the park. Parking was free. They offer a lot of different animal interactions here. The prices for all were pretty high but for a special gift I'm sure they are totally worth it. You can also buy carrots to feed the animals in the petting zoo.

Overall great day out for the family ! I would say 50% animals 50% outdoor play for the kids (with…read moresome indoor) I did find some of the cages quite small for the animals but one of my only criticisms! There were a few extras while you were there so take additional money but to be expected at these places! ( it's set up for packed lunches which is great for families ) There is a good choice of animals to see and you can buy food which a good selection of animals to feed! They also had a lots of showing through out the day and I got to stroke a snake :). The park had a good layout where you can easily walk around and find where you are going plus you get a handy map! There have an indoor soft play at the entrance which is good and bad! Means the kids want to go these straight away instead of seeing the animals and you don't pass on the way out! The soft play was great for all ages and served your average drinks and food - one thing I will say which was disappointing was they charged me for a bit of milk for my baby! I always pay my way but this is the first place that have ever charged me for milk! Worth a visit and tickets are not expensive - look out for groupon deals!

At time of writing Logan's Den has been open 1 month. It is a 'soft play kids cafe'…read more I visited on a Monday morning at approx 11.30am and was the only person there, although we were joined a bit later by two other mums and their children. The soft play is split into 2 sections one for under 2s and the other for 2-9 years. You pay £3 for 2 hours play. When investigating this I though this sounded a great deal a nice wee cuppa for me while my 2.5 year old son had a play. In reality the softplay area is miniscule by far the smallest I have ever seen! I really grudged paying £3 and though an absolute maximum would have been £2. For over 2s there is little to provide any stimulation. The soft play comprises Ground Level a series of 'punch bags' that lead to a dead end(!) and small ball pool which has the exit of the slide. Level 1 big birthing ball type things to dodge round and entrance to a circular slide. The slide area is very very dark and my son could not be persuaded to try it. Indeed the owner said her own son thought it was too dark. The under 2s section has a small free standing slide, 'small' ball pool, rocking horse, play mat and selection of books and games. My son is only 2.5 and I can't ever imagine him wanting to spend 2 hours playing here. My daughter is 8 and wouldn't even consider taking her. In terms of the cafe there is a small selection of made to order sandwiches, toasties etc but nothing that made me think 'wow, that looks/sounds tasty'. They could do with a muck better selection of homemade cakes etc. Kids meals consist of foods that kids actual eat and at great prices too so this was one real plus. All in all I wanted to be able to say that I really liked this place because the idea is great and just want the area needs. However I can't. It was okay but nothing more and could be done so much better.

I completely disagree with last review! My partner and I take our 2 and 5 year old regularly and…read morethey enjoy every minute here. The cozy friendly atmosphere and staff make us feel very welcome every time we go. The menu is simple and great ideas for kids. It's actually foods kids eat for a change and for less than £2.50 for a little meal with drink! We always get food here as its as cheap as eating at home. And having the 2 hours for £3.00 is fantastic. All the other places charge you for going over your hour, which of your eating you always do! But here they are so relaxed they have a standard £3.00 to pay and we never feel pressured to leave even when this time is up. We have 2 hours out, food, drinks and entrance normally for under £20.00. That's unheard of anywhere these days. The kids love it and we love the fact they can play safely where we can see them at all times. We will continue spending plenty of time at Logan's Den along with many of our friends who say exactly the same as us. Amazing value for money, very clean, safe and friendly, thank you Logan's Den. A real asset to Baldock!!

This little park started out as just a butterfly park but over the years has extended its collection and now houses birds of prey, ponies, pigs, llamas and racoons (to name but a few). The tropical house is home to the butterflies (plus some reptiles and other insects). The volume and variety of butterflies is breathtaking and the tropical house is well set out so you get plenty of opportunity to see the butterflies without feeling you have walked round in circles. Outside in the park you can explore all the other animal exhibits and catch one of the daily falconry displays. There is a new children's adventure play area and if all of this tires you out and you need to recharge your batteries then there is a lovely restaurant/cafe which serves delicious homemade cakes and lunches.

Until relatively recently, Cambridge was not well served for indoor play areas for kids - the…read morenearest place used to be Planet Zoom in Ely whose facilities were fairly limited. Then, like the proverbial buses, a couple of places came along at once - Cheeky Monkeys' Playbarn and Funky Funhouse. Funky Funhouse has a lot going for it - it's big, has lots of slides & swings etc, as well as separate areas for younger ones, plenty of space for adults to sit down and serves food and drinks for those that want. It is also easily accessible by car and conveniently located just outside the centre of Cambridge. Downsides ? None really. Prices (both for entry and refreshments) are reasonable, the toilets are clean and they do not allow the place to get overcrowded. The only mildly annoying things are: - kids are more likely to pick up some kind of bug after visiting, but that's just a fact of life - occasionally (especially on a wet weekend), you have to queue to get in, but again that's just a sign of how popular and successful it is Other than that, it just makes entertaing the kids a whole lot easier - they also do birthday parties for those of us who cannot face the idea of having our homes invaded by large numbers of over-excitable little monsters who have drunk too much orange squash.

The bigger kids have a large slide and the usual climbing type of areas that are usually found in these places. All in all a good place to go for a young family. There is a ball pool area etc.
