Runaround Play Centre (Sheffield)Newest Review: ... although after their first birthday it is full price. Hence why we haven't been since he was 1 (he's now 14 months) as I just don't think he's going to get £3 or £4 worth of enjoyment out of it. This seems to be typical of soft play centres but I do think it would be better to have a more tiered pricing system. The play centre is large, bright and spacious and not the dingy, claustrophobic ... more |

I discovered Runaround when browsing the internet in frustration trying to find something to do with a 9 month old who just wanted to crawl round the front room and chew wires. Its not clearly advertised on their website but there is free entry for babies under 12 months, although after their first birthday it is full price.

I brought my grandchildren (ages 6 and 4) on Friday 9th January but as we arrived we saw a large open fire at the rear of the building.
My grandson was convinced the building was on fire !
Turns out to be someone burning packaging or rubbish. It seems stupid to be doing something like this with children about. We didn't even bother stopping as apart from the obvious safety implications with fire the smoke was awful.
It's a shame as it looks a decent place.
Anyway we went to Kidz Kingdom nearby instead and had a lovely day.

Run-around soft play centre in Sheffield is a large warehouse that has been converted to a outer space themed play centre. This is a very colourful and friendly place to take young children for a couple of hours or for their birthday party. The space theme is great and is shown on pictures of planets on the play equipment and also very well done comical alien pictures on the walls. There is a smaller section for toddlers that is slightly separate to keep little ones safe with a climbing frame that has challenging obstacles and slide, also a part with little ride in cars and some soft shapes too. The main play frame is a mountain of slides, steps, net ladders ... Read the complete review

I went in here delighted to have discovered a new play centre for my kids to enjoy, a change from the very local Kidz Kingdom. First of all you sign in, pay your money and then step inside the electronic gate. The immediate view is clean and bright, there's a space/alien theme which doesn't really work with the title Runaround but looks good enough inside. On the left is the toddler area which includes a miniature car track with 3 Little Tikes cars but it's very small and there is little room to manouevre. Beside that is a soft padded area and a small low framed climbing area and double slide for toddlers. There are also over sized Lego blocks for ... Read the complete review
