Crazy Tykes Indoor and Outdoor Children's Soft play centre

The moment you walk into Crazy Tykes, you're hit with the controlled chaos of a proper soft play centre - slides, ball pits, climbing frames, all the kit kids go absolutely mental for. It's split between indoor and outdoor areas, so even on a drizzly Yorkshire afternoon you've got options. The indoor stuff is your standard soft play fare - trampolines, rope courses, that sort of thing - while the outdoor section gives you a bit more space to run about if the weather's cooperating.

This is absolutely aimed at the under-tens crowd, and if yours are at that age where they've got endless energy and you need an hour's peace, this does the job. Parents can sit back with a cup of tea while the kids burn themselves out. It's not going to blow your mind if you're over five or so - you'll be bored watching from the sidelines within twenty minutes - but as a rainy-day stop-off during a park holiday, it's fair enough.

Tadcaster's the nearest town, which gives you a sense of location, and if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Wighill Park Glamping or Haighfield Holiday Park, it's close enough for a couple of hours of containment without a massive drive. Best suited to families with young kids who need wearing out rather than entertained.
