Soft play areas in Beckenham
Gambados is a huge indoor play area. There are two small play areas for the under 3s. There is a huge soft play frame for the older children as well as dodgems, a carousel and trampolines. The best thing about going to Gambados is that adults are are allowed on the big play frame and the dodgems too so you can go on with your toddler. Oh and the slides are great!
Gambados is extremely popular with older kids and you can see why. It really is the utimate in indoor play and it is great! My toddler loved it too! However, the downside with Gambados is the price. Each family group has to pay a one off registration fee of £5. Then you have to pay £6.45 for a 1 to 3 year old or £8.45 for a 4 to 10 year old. Adults also have to pay £2 to enter. This meant that the first time we went we had to pay £15.45 for our first visit as a family and £10.45 for subsequent visits. I think it’s great for a one off treat now and again but a toddler probably enjoys other soft play areas just as much for much less money, so you may not want to go every week. Having said this, check out the website as they have special offers on the entry price. Older kids will definitely appreciate it much more and if you take older children it’s a break for the parents. The children can run off and play while you sit down and relax in a chill out area with a cup of coffee. Toddlers require a lot more supervision and it’s not really a break, it requires a lot of energy. Additionally you aren’t allowed to bring in your own food so if you want to eat you have to buy food at the cafe.
Try and go in the week as it is much quieter. Weekends are hectic!
