Go Scrambling, Sliding and Bouncing at Lollipops Playcentre

With a bouncy castle and a multi-storey climbing maze with slides and ball pit, not to mention spinning tea-cup rides, there is plenty to keep the children active for hours. The separate under-4's area and baby zones ensure that there are safe play areas for little ones.
