Soft Play

Big Fun for Little Jumpers

Safe, padded soft play made for your littlest adventurers.

Some adventurers are just getting started, and BOUNCE soft play is built for them. It’s a safe, padded space where babies and toddlers can crawl, climb, and tumble to their heart’s content, while you stay close and join the fun. Find your nearest venue and let the little ones loose!

What is Soft Play?

Soft play is a cushioned, low-to-the-ground play zone designed for our youngest BOUNCE crew. Little ones can crawl, climb, slide, and explore on soft shapes and gentle obstacles, building confidence and coordination as they go. It’s part of miniBOUNCE, our space made just for kids up to eight years, so everything is scaled to suit small hands and feet.

What to expect

Picture a busy, happy zone full of giggles and first wobbly steps. The padded surfaces and soft shapes give little ones room to move safely, while you stay close to cheer them on or climb in alongside them. It’s active play without the hard edges, which means more fun and fewer tears.

Why try Soft Play

Active play helps little ones build strength, balance, and confidence, and they won’t even know they’re learning because they’re having too much fun. Babies, toddlers, and bigger kids in the mini crew can all join in at their own pace, so siblings come along for the ride. It’s also a brilliant way to burn off energy on a rainy day or during the school holidays.

FAQs

What age is soft play for?

There’s no lower age limit for the padded zones, so even crawlers and pre-walkers can join in, right up to the miniBOUNCE cap of eight years. Once they’re older, the little ones graduate to the main BOUNCE activities.

Is soft play safe for babies and toddlers?

Yes. Soft play uses cushioned surfaces and gentle, low-level obstacles so little ones can explore safely. We recommend grown-ups stay close and join in, since half the fun is doing it together.

Can parents go in with their child?

We encourage it. Soft play is built for shared fun, so you’re welcome to climb in alongside your little one and help them find their feet.

Do little ones need grip socks for soft play?

Grip socks are required across BOUNCE for safety, including the mini zones, so pack a pair or grab some on arrival. It’s part of the premium safety standard that’s earned our venues ATPA certification. Check your venue page for the specifics.

Can I book a miniBOUNCE party for my little one?

Yes. miniBOUNCE is a favourite for toddler birthday parties, with a space made just for the under-eights. What’s available differs from venue to venue, so browse your local BOUNCE page or party packages to see the full line-up.
