The Zone

If you’ve got a toddler and you’re looking for somewhere to burn off some energy without losing your mind, The Zone in Haverhill is genuinely worth knowing about. It’s geared toward the little ones — we’re talking under-3s — so you’re not fighting for space with older kids charging around. The slides are a hit, the enclosed setup means you’re not constantly chasing anyone toward a car park, and there’s baby changing on site which, honestly, just makes life easier. Staff are the kind who actually seem to enjoy being there, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling a birthday party for a two-year-old. The food’s decent and won’t break the bank either.
