2. Soft Play for Adults –
London, Portsmouth and Swansea
Who said soft play was just for kids? If you’re in the Capital, don’t miss the hilariously named Ballie Ballerson, an adult ball pit cocktail bar boasting over 1 million balls. Flip, flop or roll around in the waist-heigh balls for a good laugh.
At Playzone in Portsmouth and Swansea, there’s special adult only evenings where you can climb, jump, slide and crawl your way around. Great for hen parties and team building activities or just a laugh with your mates.

You pay a couvert charge and are then able to borrow and play as many games you as you like.
