Platform 3 Play

If you’re local to Kirkby Stephen and have kids under 8, this place is genuinely worth knowing about. It’s an enclosed soft play setup with slides, which keeps the little ones contained and parents relatively sane. The staff actually seem to enjoy being there, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling toddlers. A few families around here use it for birthday parties and swear by it — good value for what you get, and it’s kept clean, which honestly isn’t always a given with soft play.
