Indoor play across Merseyside: soft play, trampolines and climbing

Soft play, trampoline parks, climbing walls and the other places that save a wet Saturday. Prices are per child unless the venue says otherwise, and sessions at the busiest ones need booking.

FamDays has checked 24 indoor play centres across Merseyside and nearby: 18 listed by the venue as suitable for under 2s. Opening times, prices and ages come from each venue's own website and every card says when it was last checked.
