Backup Options
If the weather changes or a venue is busy, try these alternatives

Role-play themed play centre - booking required
- Wacky Kingdom (Bentalls) soft-play
Smaller but central location in shopping centre
Rain streaming down the windows? Kids bouncing off the walls? This plan saves the day.
The Plan
Burn off energy at The Pod’s soft play, then refuel with pizza before catching an afternoon film. Everything stays indoors.
Soft Play Options
The Pod at YMCA Hawker is the go-to for under-8s. If it’s busy, PICNIC Play Centre offers role-play themed areas (book ahead). Wacky Kingdom in Bentalls is smaller but you’re already indoors.
Cinema Tips
Curzon Kingston runs Kids Club screenings at 10:30am on weekends - arrive early for the best seats.
