A smart refurb lifts this above average soft play, though the under-4s squeeze is a proper shame.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
The Jungle at Quex Park is a recently refurbished indoor soft play centre in Kent, and the reviews make one thing clear: it’s had a serious glow-up. Think bright, modern and well-kept, with a main frame, toddler zone, baby area and sensory rooms all getting a mention. Children seem to love the range on offer: climbing, sliding, ball pit fun, mirrors, sensory play and even a football zone upstairs for bigger kids. Parents were pleased by the clean toilets, friendly staff and the fact that the space feels safe and thoughtfully laid out. There’s also a café on site with snacks, ice cream and hot food, plus feeding space for babies. The main niggle is that the under-4s area has apparently been cut down a lot in the refurb, which has left some parents feeling it’s too cramped. It sounds like the upgrade has improved the look and feel, but not everyone is convinced it’s better for the youngest children. Worth a visit if your child loves soft play, but expect a busy toddler zone at peak times.
