Before you set off

What to bring

  • 🧦Grippy socksA pair of anti-slip socks per child — most centres need them on the frame, and often for adults too.
  • 👕A spare topBall pools and big slides make for warm, mucky kids — a change of top saves a soggy drive home.
  • 💳Card or cashFor entry and the café — the coffee is the grown-up reward.
  • 🚰A water bottleClimbing and sliding is thirsty work, and there is a wipe-down at the end of it.

The story

About the centre

Gulliver's Soft Play is the indoor play area inside Orchard Leisure Centre, the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council leisure facility on Folly Lane. The three-level frame is designed for tots, toddlers and primary-age children up to 134cm, with a separate toddler zone for the youngest.

Sitting inside a full leisure centre means a cafe and a pool are on the same site, and the centre runs autism-friendly additional-needs sessions at weekends with restricted numbers, no flashing lights and a calm space for children who need it.
