It is aimed for parents & children under 5, and it costs £2 per family per session. They have lots of fun toys for the kids to play with, as well as fun craft activities for the kids to participate in. They do a story time, snack time & song time. It's great fun for kids, and a great place for parents to make friends. The staff are lovely too.

If you're ever stuck for somewhere to take your kids on a rainy day this is a great place…read more It's an indoor play area at the top of John Warner Sports Centre in Hoddesdon, and attached to the Strikers Café. On entering you pay for your child and they get a coloured sticker, sometimes with a time written on it - this is the time that they are allowed to be in there until, but to be honest, unless it's heaving in there they can stay in as long as they like. This is a 'play barn' type place, with huge climbing areas etc. They're all covered with primary coloured padding that makes it really safe for your children. Each section has a set of arrows to follow - I think this just ensures that kids don't pelt into each other all of the time! Each pathway takes you somewhere different - and yes, you can go on with your kids if you don't think they can manage it on their own ;-) After clambering up some platforms you come across a darkened section full of twinkly lights, and toughened perspex hollow sphere that is like a pirate lookout over the seating area below, a rope-bridge, spinning columns, moveable shapes, net-climbers (like the rigging on a ship) and my favourites, a big bumpy slide and a huge ball pit! For the smaller children there is a separate area with large padded shapes. If going in with them isn't your thing you can sit below and have a cuppa and a chat with the other parents, there are some comfortable sofas and some normal tables & chairs. They also do parties here, and supply all of the food, invitations etc; at something like a tenner a child it won't break the bank. As an inexpensive rainy day activity this is hard to beat.

Birchwood leisure centre is not one of the best leisure centres in Hatfield…read more it does have a kids soft play area which is probably the best part. There is an cafe for parents to sit and keep an eye on the kids while they run riot up and down the play equipment but it is in a seperate room so the noise is minimalised. The gym in the centre is old and small. It really needs updating but if you don't want to join a fancy expensive gym with lots of modern facilities it is suitable for need. they do offer a good range of exercise classes and there is a large football field outside too. There is also a children's holiday club running during the school holidays which is reasonably priced and seems to offer a good range of activities to keep the kids happy.
