I brought my 9 month old daughter here in Sept 2011 on a rainy day, she had so much fun (1st time at softplay)! The family is coming back to Arran this year and we will definitely be coming back to the playbarn!!

Looks and feels clean and brand new. Only £3 for an hour and with a separate toddler area you dont have to worry about little ones getting crushed in the stampede. Great rainy day activity. easy parking.
