Welcome to The Play Cafe at Sandown Park - a soft play for under 5s. We hope you and your little ones enjoy being here as much as we do!
The Play Cafe isn’t just about your little ones! As a family with young boys, we wanted to create a fresh and modern space which appeals to us Mums, Dads and Carers too!
We know your little one won’t notice the ice cream colour palette or chairs but we do know a modern soft play needs to be a balance between kiddie and adult friendly! More importantly we have plenty of coffee! There is never enough caffeine in our day! Plus a delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch menu! The Play Cafe into so much more than a soft play with events and workshops to help support us parents weather the parenting storm.
We are open for 4 play sessions a day at set times, allowing us to clean the area, disinfect the toys and reset for the next session. On Friday afternoons, we have our most popular slots ‘Fizz Fridays’ with a free glass of Prosecco with every £6.50 entry (one per £6.50 entry). Prebooking is advised to avoid disappointment. Drop ins are accepted when we have space!
