Great fun for active kids, but the loos and upkeep sound like they need a proper going-over.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Gravity Active Bluewater is an indoor active play venue with trampolining, climbing-style activities and party packages. Reviewers mention Gravity Rocks, safety videos, harnessing for climb sessions and SEN sessions, so this is very much a high-energy, structured sort of day out rather than a casual drop-in soft play. The big plus is that children seem to have a brilliant time. Staff are repeatedly praised for being friendly, clear and helpful, and the activities themselves get strong marks for fun. Parties sound well run, with hosts helping the children and even letting them trampolining while food was delayed. There is enough variety to keep most school-age children happy, and it seems to work particularly well for birthdays and active sessions. The downside is the same one that crops up in a lot of indoor family venues: the price, the toilets and the general wear and tear. Multiple reviews complain that it is expensive, with one parent saying £50+ for two children for an hour felt steep. Cleanliness is a concern too, with mentions of filthy toilets, shabby areas and even a poo incident, which is not exactly confidence-inspiring. Seating for parents also sounds limited, especially near the entrance.
