Walton Hall & Gardens
The reliable default: gardens, a children's zoo, a big playground and plenty of room to run. Pay for parking, nothing else.

Warrington Play and Sensory Centre is not a general soft play. The council runs it at the Woolston Neighbourhood Hub as a purpose-built activity centre for disabled children and adults, and for anyone with additional needs, whether learning, physical, medical or sensory.
There are four areas. The Active Zone is a large sea-themed soft play with a slide and ball pool. The Calm Zone is set up for children with reduced mobility, with a trampoline, a swing and a screen. Ripples is a soft play area for younger children, and the sensory room has a water bed, a bubble tube, a fibre optic curtain and an overhead hoist, with one-to-one supervision required. There is a cafe for snacks and drinks and an accessible toilet with a height-adjustable changing bed and hoist.
Everything is booked by session on the council's booking page, and if no session shows for a day it is full or not running. The council does not publish prices on its pages, so check when you book, or ring 01925 817347.

Jungle Parc
Treetop rope courses in the woods at Walton Hall Gardens. The Warrington site runs the Adventurer course, built for children from age 4 with a minimum height of 1.05m, with over 60 activities at different heights. Children £19; supervising adults walking below go free.
Gulliver's World
A theme park deliberately built for ages 2 to 13 rather than teenagers, so both of them can ride most of it. The classic full-day option on your doorstep.
Apple Jacks Adventure Farm
An adventure farm off Stretton Road built for 4 to 12s: tractor trailer rides, zip wires, drop slides, jumping pillows, roller skating and a tent full of inflatables. Despite the name there are no animals to see, and in October it turns into Spooky World's daytime Fun-By-Day.
Giggles Play Mill
Two-tier soft play frame, low climbing wall, pirate ship, crawl tubes and a bouncy slide, plus Messy Monday and sensory sessions during the week.
Jellybeans Play Centre
Bigger than the average soft play: multi-level frame, a spooky room, an astro slide, a climbing wall, two mini bowling lanes and a slot racing track. The bowling is what makes it work when you have a toddler and a seven-year-old to keep happy at once.
