One of the rainy afternoons in Rosslare last week, we decided to head into Wexford to see what the new indoor play area was like. We brought 4 of the gang with us, ranging in ages from 5yrs to 9months.

As the centre is relatively new all the equipment looked clean and safe. There is seating and picnic type benches very near the front door for parents to sit. There is also an additional seating area at the back of the play area with leather couches and a TV.

Theres a great range of slides, climbing frames, ball pits, soccer areas and all of the kids age abilities were catered for.  

Whilst the kids had a good time playing, the day we were there, it was packed. We were unable to get seating in the front and only managed to grab a table towards the back. This meant that the entrance of the centre was obscured from our view.

It was difficult to keep track and an eye on the kids, unlike other playcentres such as Chuckies and Lumpyland on Cork, where the playarea is along the back and all the seating is up front. There also didn’t seem to be much security or checking who was leaving and with which kids.

This is hopefully just due to the volume of children and adults that were there that day and fingers crossed is something that will improve as the centre finds its feet.

The bathrooms were clean, the coffees/waters reasonably priced. Cost was €8.50 per toddling child and older for 90mins playing.
