July 21st 2015 - Planet Play
The weather still isn't great and my friend and her kids are still here, so we needed to do something to amuse them. So we went to Planet Play, 1of the local soft/indoor play areas.
All kids love going to soft play and being able to run about etc. My 3 sons and my friends 2 sons are no exception to this. They loved being able to go off on their own and play in safety, they knew where we were sat and came back when they wanted drinks etc.
Pics showing my 3 boys playing in various parts. There is a great pic of 4/5 of mine/mates kids all sat behind the netting and they look like caged monkeys! I won't put on here as not just my kids, but it is good.
Planet Play is really big and has a lot for them to do. There are a few slides, loads of climbing bits, a ball pit, a sports area with football goal and basketball net. The play area is over a few different heights that the kids have to climb to reach. The prices are good as well - £4.95 per child for 2hrs of play. They serve food and sweet snacks and drinks, although we didn't eat there the food looked nice and wasn't really expensive.
We had a lovely time except for 2 10/11yr old boys who thought they would push the 3yr old over (because he threw a play ball and it hit them), spit in the face of one of the 5yr olds because he stood up for his 3yr old brother and then start on the other 5yr old because he asked to have a go on the giant bouncy balls they were on. They wern't so big and brave when they met the 10 and 12yr old brothers and an angry mother! Sadly we wern't able to speak to their mother as they didn't leave the play area. However, when we left my son was reading "the rules of play" on the wall and 1 said about "no bullying" to which my son said shame that happens, loud enough for the manager to hear and asked what he was on about - so we explained and he said he would go and speak to them.
