We had a fantastic day here with our six year old, we spent nearly the whole day here from 11am to 5pm. There was so much to do, each floor was so interactive and had something for all of us. There is a lovely cafe serving sandwiches, pizza slices, wraps etc onsite or if you wanted to eat in the Sse complex there is also a lot of choice, you can come & go as you please from W5 just keep hold of your receipt to enter and exit. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Dino show and our child loved the soft play. A great way to end the summer holidays.

Great place for kids to let off steam for a few hours, so interactive and child friendly

Nice place for the kids
