I have just got back from taking my kids to a place in Haslingdon.
The place is called ' Run a Mock '

It's a great indoor play area for children. It has a toddler area and also something for the bigger kids.
I didn't see any age restrictions, but they have height restrictions. My 11 year old wasn't too big for the equipment so I am guessing up to about 12 years old may be appropriate.

It also has a cafe area where you can buy food and drinks. The food is lovely and very well priced. They have several leather sofa's for mum's and dad's to relax too.

The prices are £3.00 for the first child and £2.00 for other children. It says this is for 2 hours but as we went to leave after 2 hours we were told we could stay for as long as we liked, not sure if this is just when they are quiet times though but for 2 hours play I thought the price was well worth it.
My youngest enjoyed the football area more and it's all soft balls so it's really very safe.
The staff are plenty and very very friendly. The place has only been open since July, but I can say, the kids enjoyed it and it is very very relaxed for mum's and dad's too.

So parents, if your kids need to burn a little pre-christmas energy off .... I suggest taking the ankle biters to ' Run a Mock ' It's on Carrs Industrial estate in Haslingdon.

They stay open til 6:30pm.

Hope this comes in useful for some of you.:D
 
Thanks slinky, usually take youngsters and grandchildren to old cobblers inn at Rawtenstall, Haslingden is nearer so I imagine we will be giving it a whirl, (well the kids will anyway).
 
ooooh, wonder if you get discount if you move in for the holidays? :)

Thanks slinky, will be trying that out, my lad loves soft play
 
Cheers Slinks, We usually use Little Treasures but it will be nice to have a change from time to time
 
That sounds great for people with young kids. Mine used to love things like that when they were small and it sounds very reasonable too.
 
we have places like that up here too, in fact not enough because usually they are jam packed and we have quite a few to choose from, they usually do a parent and toddler morning and also hold birthday parties just ask inside when you go, thats if your interested that is

We went on Sunday. It was hectic. Not enough seating for teh adults, we ended up sharing a table with other parents.


Siobhan loved the climbing frame and dragged both of us on it.

There were a few quite boisterous boys who pushed teh smaller kids out the way but they soon got teh short end of my tounge when they tried with Siobhan.


Food and drink was not that cheap but did look decent quality.


I'll probably go again but not at weekends.

thanks for telling us about it slinky sounds like a good place to take the grandaughters and it seems reasonable priced too.
 
BTW, those prices aren't right for weekends. It was £3.50 for Siobhan and IIRC it was £4 if they were over a certain age. NOt sure about midweek

I think it was a Tuesday when we took our boys. The price I said was the price I paid when I went, but they have just opened so it may all change.
I'm surprised you had a problem with the other kids, when we went the owner was very firm but fair with the kids and ensured safety all the time we were there.
I actually thought the food and drinks were fairly priced, but each to their own on that one I think.
 
must agree, thought it was quite pricey and we had problems with older, boisterous kids, ended up leaving in the end, usually go Giddykippers in nelson just of the motorway.:D

It's a shame to hear that!! As I said it was good when we went ...... all good things come to an end though.
 
we probably will give it another go when we get fed up with the other places and i must say the set up itself was very impressive and very spacious, not like being crammed in a few local ones i could mention.:rolleyes:

Yeah I felt more relaxed cos it was spacious! But then again, it was quite a quiet afternoon when we went. I just grabbed a coffee and relaxed on the leather sofa :D
