Funky Monkeys Dundonald

Paid indoor play + cafe, all weather

This is paid soft play, sold as a 90-minute play session, and the price changes so check current rates before you go. Recent pricing ran roughly £7.75-£8.95 per child depending on age and whether it's peak or off-peak, with under-1s a token £1.50 (free alongside an older sibling). It's built for children up to 8 and under 4ft 5in, and there are separate baby and toddler zones so the little ones aren't swamped by bigger kids. There's a cafe with coffee, paninis and child-friendly food, plus seating so you can sit down while they play. You can usually walk in, but weekends and holidays get busy and parties are booked ahead, so it's worth checking and bringing grippy socks.
