x-GiGgLeS-x Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi, Yes there are plenty of these in Sheffield. The Mega Centre (hyde park tram stop near town) its free for under 1's and then £2 per child over and can play allday. This has a little cafe that sells hot and cold drinks and sarnies. There is also Alpha Zoo (near Meadowhall) this is also free for under 1s and I think its about £2 or £2.50 for every child after. This has a little cafe that sells almost anything. Bacon butty, chips cheese anything really. There is also Jungle Mania (Darnall) but Im not sure on the price or anything. Theres plenty more around just a case of asking people.

angelbeast Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 many thanks for this, all the parents i know are first timers with under ones so we're all new to it, i've found one near me thanks to the link from cosywolf, i didn't find anything when i searched on this forum before as i didn't separate the words soft and play but typed softplay instead! duh! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyb35 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 any ideas for party suggestions for my daughter? She will be 8 in January. I think shes getting a little old for soft play areas really, and would rather do something with a handful of friends instead of inviting the whole class! I can't afford a lot as its literally just over a week after christmas. I tried to book mcdonalds last year but they don't 'do parties in the school holidays' and I've found a few places are the same! I took her and her cousins to the panto last year, it was good fun but I think she needs something different this year! Plus her grandma wants to take her to one on her own. Zebra do you still do party stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about bowling - I think Hollywood Bowl is about £8 per person (minimum of 6) incs bowling and a meal - or if you are near Handsworth Bowling is cheaper and just as good.

cosywolf Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Or perhaps one of the ceramic pinting places like Fired Arts? The cost depends on what they choose to paint, so you could pick out something quite inexpensive beforehand. And they'd all get a really nice present out of it. Fired Arts also do cake and drinks (I only mention them in particular because they're the only ones I've been to.) Ecclesall Woods Sawmill are also running Dangerous Club for Kids parties, which are outdoor and fairly rough and ready, so perhaps not too expensive? Good fun oudoor adventure stuff. Or have a make your own pizza and cookies party at home with a good girlie dvd to finish off with - even a pj party, if you're brave enough ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the painting one, thinking about it theres somewhere at elsecar which is very close to me, i'll give them a ring. Outdoor is a no no as its in Jan though, we'd no doubt get the worst weather in England on the day! Bowlings ok but she did that at a party very recently and I don't want to look like I'm copying, pathetic I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahknowles Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 My son is 1 on the 15th (dont ask me where the time has gone as i really dont have a clue!) And me and hubby have no idea what to do for it. His birthday is on a wednesday so was thinking maybe doing something with all my mummy friends on the day. And then perhaps have a little tea party for family and close friends the weekend after. What did you all do for your little ones 1st Birthdays? Its such a special time i really want to remember it. Cant wait to hear your ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary70 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i wouldnt do anything to much as they soon get overwhelmed and it ends up not being a nice time for them, a small family party will be nice with people your lo knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clara26 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yeah my little one ended up being poorly on his 1st birthday so all plans went to pot. But a family meal or a day out somewhere goes down well. We took my son to a farm when he was well enough and he loved it. Save the big parties for when they are old enough to understand (and demand them haha!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
