Lollipops Playland & Cafe

Definitely agree with the other reviews! Took my 11 month old daughter and 6 year old niece and stepson over the weekend and we spent about 1.5 hours there and they were absolutely pooped afterwards! However the hygiene of the place is something I cringe about. My daughter ended up getting hand foot and mouth disease from here!!! So if you are going to take your kids, take your sanitisers and keep an eye on your little ones (she did play in the ball pit and caught her with a ball in her mouth). Be very prepared for your kiddies to catch a sickness after being here –_–

Kids go absolutely crazy for this place. It’s like what catnip is to cats. The host a lot of kids Birthday parties here so by the time the kids have gorged themselves on the fried food and sugar provided, they run around like wild things for a couple of hours, and then they are so exhausted once they get home they promptly fall asleep. Effective.
I took my cousins kids here ONCE a couple of months ago and they are still pestering me to take them back again.
While it may seem apparently simple to let the kids enjoy the facilities while you kick back and enjoy a coffee in the on site café the sound of screaming children multiplied by like 50 is enough to put paid to any ideas of relaxing, that might just be me however.

This is such a fun place for little kids! They can (and do) go absolutely crazy and wild, and sprint around with sweat actually dripping from their hair (I’m not even kidding, you should bring a towel, it’s really gross) — totally focused on having with with the element of danger (from all the climbing and obstacles and other kids also sprinting around crashing into each other).
So if you just think about the fact the kids are having a great time, it’s all ok. But if you look a bit closer… well actually it’s best not to. My main issues are that it’s a bit dirty, like for example the ball pit is full of sticky balls that pick up all the dirt from the ground, and then little kids suck on them. Plus there’s the whole sweat factor. Some of the toys and activities are getting pretty old now and could do with replacing.
Added to this is the food issue — the whole place reeks of deep fried food because you can have birthday parties there and you get huge trolleys of every kind of fried food there is. When it all come out of the kitchen at once, the stench is overwhelming. Also, you are not supposed to bring your own food, so it is not ideal for children with allergies. (they may have changed this policy, I’m not sure).
Parents are charged an entry fee. But you get a free drink.

Want somewhere that you can come and bring your baby who is crawling, your toddler who is starting to walk or for your toddler/​kid who needs to burn off some energy then this is the place to come.
They have special areas for the smaller ones and other more exciting areas for the bigger more adventurous kids — even looks exciting to me I wouldn’t mind sliding down the big air slide. There are also dress up areas next to the pretend house that has a bedroom and kitchen. They also have a small carousel and little cars for them to zoom around in
.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for under 10 months old, but anything from 10 months is fine. This place is also pretty special to me as its where my baby took her first unsupported steps after she had been walking around pushing a little baby stroller.
For under 1 year olds is free, but all adults have to pay but you get a cold or hot drink so its all worth it. Theres also plenty of parking and great meet up point for a coffee group.
