Illustration of Bubbles World of Play

It bills itself as one of the biggest indoor soft plays in the UK, and the scale is the point: more than 30 themed zones, giant slides and ball cannons, a gated baby and toddler area with sensory play, and a role play mini city with a garage, a shop, a vets and a police station.

The pricing splits in two. On term-time weekdays a 3 to 11 year old is £8.50 and you can stay all day. At weekends and in the holidays it becomes a two hour session at £14.50, and adults pay £2.50 or £3.50 to supervise. Book those peak sessions ahead: they say they cannot guarantee entry to anyone without a ticket when it is busy, and that it is quiet before 11am and after 3pm.

It is a long drive for soft play, so make it an event: the beach and the prom are right outside on Kings Parade, which turns a wet-day fallback into a proper day out.

What it costs: Ages 3 to 11: £8.50 on term-time weekdays (stay all day), £14.50 for a two hour session at weekends and in school holidays. Toddlers 1 to 2: £6.50 or £12. Babies 0 to 5 months £2 or £2.50, 6 to 11 months £4.50 or £6.50. Adults and over-11s £2.50 or £3.50. Free membership takes 50p off each price. Open 9.30am to 6pm, closed Mondays in term time. Free car park, locked at 6pm.

Know before you go

  • Term-time weekdays are the bargain: £8.50 for a 3 to 11 year old with no clock running. It is closed on Mondays outside the school holidays.
  • The free car park is locked at 6pm, which is also closing time, so do not leave the car there for a walk on the prom afterwards.

A hands-on science centre built precisely for this age group - walk-through lungs and a supersize brain in the new Bodies gallery, inventions to test, and the ferry stop is literally outside. Entry converts to an annual pass, which changes the maths entirely.
