Wild Things Play Project

Right in Plymouth, this nature-inspired indoor play space is one of those spots locals genuinely rate — and for good reason. The sandpit and mud kitchen are the real draws for younger kids, keeping them busy in ways a standard climbing frame never quite manages. It’s properly enclosed, so you’re not constantly chasing a toddler toward an exit, and the sightlines are decent enough that you can actually sit down for five minutes. The staff are friendly without being over the top, and the food on offer is a step above your usual café fare. Worth bookmarking for any rainy Plymouth afternoon, which — let’s be honest — is most of them.
