Traveler reviews
Arazo
★★★★★a month agoA fantastic soft play. So clean and plenty of fun for the little ones. 2 ball pits, plenty of climbing and imaginative play available. They set out a bunch of other toys like a play shop, dress up clothes and even had tables with colouring available. So much variety. They offered a good range of food including veggie options and thank god for their slushie machine! Definitely recommend for hours of endless fun! The staff were also very kind and respectful.

★★★★★8 months agoWe brought our grandson who is 3 years old and he never stopped playing here, he absolutely loved it. At one point, we had to prise him away to have a drink as he was having so much fun. We did the build your own bear which he absolutely loved kissing the heart before it was placed inside. Definitely would recommend and would take him back
