Runaround Play Centre (Sheffield)

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. 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, ...  Read the complete review

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.

It's a shame as it looks a decent place.
Anyway we went to Kidz Kingdom nearby instead and had a lovely day.

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
