Something for everyone
Bubble ‘n Bop includes plenty of space to play, create and explore. Children can bounce on the bouncy pillows, climb through the adventure play park, explore the role-play village and get creative in the craft room.
The giant building-block area invites children to construct large-scale creations, while indoor soft play provides another option when the weather is less favourable. Outdoor activities remain subject to weather and safety conditions.
A day packed with rides, entertainment, animals & more!
We’ve been to the Bubble ‘N Bop festival twice now, during the summer. After our first visit, we signed up for the monthly memberships. Definitely worth the money.

The foam gun, closely followed by the playground, stole the show for our granddaughter. We were kept well-entertained for our whole time there. The restaurant was better than expected. Special mention must go to Holly, who looked after our granddaughter on the foam machine. She was great.
