Bounce Play Centre

Rainy day salvation in the form of trampolines, soft play and enough bounce to tire out the most energetic kids. This indoor play centre does exactly what it says on the tin - provides a proper workout for little legs while parents grab a coffee and recover from another day of holiday chaos.

Families staying at the nearby Haven parks will find this a godsend when the Lancashire weather turns. The bouncing area caters mainly to under-12s, though older kids usually find something to occupy them for at least an hour. Toddlers get their own dedicated zone, which is sensible given how enthusiastic bigger children can get on the trampolines.

Location-wise, it's well positioned for most of the holiday parks around Blackpool, with Newton Hall and Haven Marton Mere both within easy driving distance. The staff generally keep things running smoothly and safety seems well managed, important when you've got dozens of children launching themselves about.

Best visited mid-morning when it's less crowded, or early evening if you need to burn off energy before bedtime. Budget at least 90 minutes - any less and you'll have disappointed faces, any more and you might go slightly mad from the noise. It's not going to win awards for sophistication, but it serves its purpose well for families needing an active indoor option near Blackpool.
