My son absolutely loved their Halloween special event! Their new space is in a great location, it’s full of brand new toys with a huge outdoor space. The list of exciting activities they did during the day was endless with biscuit making, musical bumps, arts and crafts and movies. He had a great time and didn’t want to leave! Thanks everyone!
My son had a great time at the taster session. He especially enjoyed playing pool and playing outside!
My daughter has really enjoyed herself this week. Great location ideal for the tram route
