- SineadLancashire, United Kingdom1 contributionAmazing party venue, wonderful staff.My daughter had her party here today and it was so wonderful! The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you! Everything is taken care of and the staff are so lovely. With a party of 12 nine year olds I imagined I’d be rushed off my feet but it was quite the opposite, the girls took over everything and the parents sat back. They made the birthday girl feel very special and there is something for everyone on the play area! Price is very reasonable for everything that’s included in the patty. Will definitely visit again!Thanks for taking the time our to write us a positive review, this highly appreciated. We will feed this back to the Wacky Team :) We will look forward to you visiting us again very soon for another enjoyable visit - ThanksWritten 23 October 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 7 October 2023

I am sorry to be writing this but I also don’t want people going thinking they’re going to get a certain type of visit and be disappointed, as we were.
The place is rammed. Way too busy to be pleasant. It says on the website that there is a 25% reduced capacity at the moment so I’d hate to see it when it’s at full capacity. As an adult I was totally overwhelmed as soon as I walked in. There were also no seats in the cafe but this didn’t really prove an issue as we couldn’t have left our children alone in the chaos.
There are only 7 activities but the room they’re in is small. One is a bucking bronco which depending how good you are, you get between one second and a minute on before having to queue again. There’s a spinning thing that you have to jump over or duck under but some kids like to hang on to it so your child just has to wait it out. There’s a wrecking ball but my children couldn’t get on this as it was just occupied by groups of adults and children swinging it way too hard. There’s no queuing system for this so my children waited and waited and waited.
There’s a penalty shootout that’s fine but again just the same boys stood booting a ball over and over again.
There’s an obstacle course that my kids enjoyed.
A toddler activity. And an inflatable climbing wall and the girl staffing that was great but you only get a few minutes. And there’s a slide but loads of kids are climbing up it and all coming down at the same time.
My children are polite and will wait their turn but here there’s no point in doing that. It’s just a case of run in and go wild.
The pictures online must have been taken during school time. I imagine it’s a much nicer place when it’s quieter. If you could sit in the cafe and be able to see your kids enjoying themselves then it’s probably a great place. But half term is just bedlam!

Last weekend i took a hours drive from Manchester to take my 4 year old to wackyworld after hearing great reviews from friends who recently visited,
The session was well organised with limited session attendee’s and safety clearly explained before the session started.
Staff were friendly and polite throughout, they where full of energy and made the visit that little more personal.
All the inflatables where clean and great fun, there is plenty of space to run around and release his abundance of energy.
The cafe was clean and tidy and had a great selection of food and drinks especially for a very fussy eater.
I can not recommend wackyworld enough and i will be sure to be visiting again over the summer holidays

First impressions was the parking, very limited so spent 5 minutes driving around to find a spot. Enter to find what looks like a brilliant set up very clean loads of effort put into the place as a whole. However as we got closer to our time slot it gets busier and busier, they were telling people to go to the cafe to stop the entrance being so packed however the cafe was also full. People stood around with prams and small children causing chaos in walk ways but they had nowhere else to go.
It’s good that adults can walk around the inflatables but again with the ridiculous amount of people allowed to enter all at once it made it hard to get through.
Tables were so close together with prams and people in between, the seating area and parking is way to small for the amount of people they are letting in.
Won’t be visiting again unless numbers are reduced.

Had a party here, paid the higher rate which was around £14 per head. We were told we could exchange grip socks from other places and would have to pay for any additional for over 5 year olds. This was about the only info I was given before the day. We arrived and our party host said she was taking care of everything, and didn’t really say much else, took the party bags, cake and shoes upstairs to the party room which we weren’t allowed in until the kids got called upstairs after their play session. The kids were allowed juice in the play session but again no one showed us to the juice table that I know of, we were early for our slot so they could have showed us around and where things were but we worked it out for ourselves. Food was served and then the party games were a great touch and the kids really enjoyed it. However the end was rushed, I had labelled all the party bags discretely. The host suddenly told the kids to get their shoes on and get a party bag, after I said I had labelled them, this was 5 year olds who all needed help with their shoes, not 7-11 year olds who are independent, I had 3 pairs of shoes to put on and was faced with a crowd of kids all wanting a party bag at the same time party host had gone off duty or run out of steam. This made the ending rushed and stressful for me as if they had told me I was giving out the party bags I could have arranged them so I knew who’s was who’s. Or they could have helped me get the shoes on rather than cleaning up around me and making it obvious they wanted us out of the way. Or got the kids to put shoes on before eating.
Or maybe just not have said they were taking care of everything and then done a half job of it!
Some people didn’t get their grip socks back including us. Was a bit embarrassing when I had said they were to be exchanged not given. I can only think they were tidied away. A selfie was taken of all the kids which was never forwarded.
Saying all this it was only myself who suffered and one child who left as I was putting on shoes so I had to hand deliver her party bag at a later date. Everyone else thought it was a great party, the equipment was great, very clean and something for all ages. People said the food was great and every last piece of pizza was eaten. However it wasn’t exactly stress free for myself considering what I paid and they could have been more helpful at the end and communicated with me more.They were obviously on a tight time scale getting ready for the next party group.

Me and my partner took both of the kids here and it was fantastic, they cater for all ages and my 3 year old has not stopped talking about it and wants to go back!
From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with smiley faces and very polite and pleasant staff. We stayed after the session had finished and had food which was fairly priced and they are not shy with the portion sizes.
We will most definitely be returning in the near future

This place is brilliant for children of all ages, I brought my two children both aged 4 and 7 last weekend for something different and to say I was blown away is an understatement.
The prices are brilliant, especially for a family of 4, the entry fees, food and drink for us all were under £30 which in today's market I find amazing.
The staff interacted with the children throughout the visit which was nice. The checking-in process was very organised which is always a bonus, especially with x2 very excited children. I will be sure to return

Visited straight after school on a Wednesday with two children. Only ever been here for birthday parties so didn’t know what to expect on a weekday. I can honestly say we found the whole experience to be faultless. The staff were amazing, really happy and welcoming. The kids loved playing ball games with them and were super happy when they won some slush drinks! We paid approx £15 for two children to play (2 hours play, a free hotdog & chips each, pair of socks each. It was part of a midweek deal too).
I couldn’t help myself and bought food & drinks too- the garlic bread is genuinely one of the best I’ve had for a long time.
On the whole we had a perfect spontaneous trip. We will definitely be back

We’ve been here a couple of times and my son absolutely loves it. It can be pricey, but it’s worth it for how much my son enjoys it. The inflatables area is well staffed, which is great. The pizzas in the cafe are so yummy too.

Fantastic birthday party. Very happy 7 year old. Wacky World was easy to book and reasonably priced for my 7 year old's birthday party. They were flexible with numbers and only needed full payment a week before the party. Everything was set up when we arrived and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The children loved the time in the arena and the food was fantastic - pizza and chips. The staff sorted the party games and even cut the cakes and put it in the party bags for us. So glad we decided on Wacky World and would highly recommend.

Me and my four children came here yesterday for the first time and we had the best time ever!! We travelled a short distance (Train ride) away and defo wasnt dissapointed :) The staff were friendly, one young girl who works there was so lovely she took the time to make sure my little girl was ok as she got upset as she was to small to go on the bull. I didnt buy food there so cant comment on that but we bought massive jugs of juice which were perfect and cheaply priced too so that was good too. All the children had a fab time and so did i (mum) too we cant wait to come back and have alread planned our return and going to book it. We look forward to returning and thank you wacky world for a brilliant day for me and my children :) see you soon!!
