Event Experience

Pros:

  • "The Jungle Softplay was decorated beautifully, and was really exciting for the kids. A great idea for a Halloween experience."
  • "For 5 of us we spent £50 each but that got us the use of absolutely everything including spending money on 3 big fairground rides and the huge big wheel."
  • "If you like halloween, and especially your kids, this is the place where you can visit for a few hours and have a great time."

Cons:
