About

Work out which ticket you need before you get to the counter, because the grid has two axes. Price steps up by age — infants, toddlers, then three and over — and steps up again from Monday to Thursday to Friday to Sunday, so the same child costs noticeably more on a Saturday than on a Tuesday. Anti-slip socks are required, and two adults come in free with a paid child — it is the third who is an add-on.

For that you get the largest and newest floor in the city, and the reviews reflect it: a five-star average across thousands of them, which almost nothing at this scale sustains. Visitors describe two birthday parties running at once without the place feeling short-staffed, and a structure big enough that a child can be busy for hours rather than forty minutes.

Two honest notes. It is pitched squarely at little ones and toddlers rather than at nine-year-olds. And the swing between quiet and full is severe: weekends run close to four times weekday levels, so a Tuesday morning and a Saturday afternoon are different venues at the same address.
