Would recommend anyone who has a toddler and lives within a 20min drive of the zoo to get membership as it's a great day out, with lots of play areas, as well as the animals so you can do something different each time you go.

A little bit on the older side. Opportunities to feed the animals including bottle feeding baby lambs. Large space for kids to run round. Generally quiet so you don't have to worry if you've got lots of kids with you.

One of the best free days out for early walkers. Kids can feed the animals. A couple of outdoor play areas. We've been to birthday parties here as well which the kids have really enjoyed.

Would highly recommend on a nice day for all ages. The site is split into two parts. One part has play equipment for all ages, an ice cream truck and cafe. The other is the monkey enclosure where you can get up close to the monkeys and they have gre...

A great rainy day outing. The museum is so interactive the kids are able to touch everything. The Burrow is a great soft play area for littles with arts and crafts too.

Role play rooms and nice areas for different ages. You can see most of the climbing frame from all around the room so great if you have kids of differing ages.

Really fun but you really need an adult per child as main area has 5 levels, with a huge slide and several exit points. There is a really nice big baby and toddler area.

Not regular sessions but when they have events the kids love them.

Not the newest soft play but the kids love it here. You can sit and see them in all the areas and the kids can now do it all themselves. Its freezing in the winter so wrap up.
Coco's Playbarn | Soft Play Centre | Frodsham, Cheshire

Great little softplay with a small sensory area for babies and a disco room that the kids love. Perfect if you're taking the kids solo as it's not too big. Only downside is the parking.
