Blairs soft play center

Decent enough spot for a rainy Deal day with a toddler in tow — the enclosed soft play area is well-suited for the under-4s crowd, and the cafe does the job when you need a coffee to survive the visit. Baby changing facilities are there when you need them, which is always a relief. Fair warning though: a few too many locals have flagged the staff attitude as hit-or-miss, so don’t be surprised if you’re not exactly made to feel welcome. It’s not flash, but it fills a gap in an area that doesn’t have a lot of indoor options for little ones.
