Little Astronauts: A Space Adventure like no other


Little Astronauts isn’t just a soft play, it’s a full space adventure! From the moment you walk in, you’re stepping into a whole new world, with lights, sounds and interactive zones bringing the space theme to life.

There’s something to do in every corner. From science walls and air blasters to hands-on games, children can explore and play in ways that keep them busy and excited every visit.

One of the biggest showstoppers of the play is The Multiverse, a huge interactive screen where kids can run, play and jump into games, either on their own or with friends. It’s fast, fun and always a favourite.

The play also has a built in Sensory Space Ship. A calm area for children who need a quieter environment with soft lighting, interactive features and comfortable seating.

But it’s not just about the kids! Little Astronauts runs weekly Baby Socials (Wednesdays 9:30-11:30am) and Toddler Thursdays (9:30-11:30am), giving parents a relaxed space to meet others while little ones play. It’s a great way to connect with other families. Parents can also relax in comfortable seating areas with clear views of the play zones and CCTV in operation for extra peace of mind.

The food here goes beyond the usual soft play menu and is truly out-of-this-world. With a newly launched menu and additions to each range, including their loaded fries, smash burgers, handmade pizzas, fresh wraps and kids’ meal deals, there’s something for everyone.

Not forgetting the AstroClub, an exclusive membership for those who want to grab those great deals and exclusive offers first. Joining the AstroClub Membership allows you to unlock monthly rewards and early access to events before anyone else.

There’s always something going on. From birthday parties to themed events, to weekly sessions and general play. Little Astronauts keeps things fresh and exciting all year round.
