Happy Planet Play Centre

If you’ve got a little one under six in Bradford, this place is genuinely worth knowing about. The sandbox keeps kids busy for ages, and the shaded seating means you can actually sit down and relax rather than hovering the whole time. Staff are properly friendly — not just going-through-the-motions friendly — and the coffee and food are decent enough that you won’t be counting down the minutes. It’s well looked after too, clean and calm, which makes a real difference when you’re wrangling a toddler.
