The Lighthouse Soft Play and Cafe

The Lighthouse Soft Play and Cafe is a family-friendly indoor soft play in Sussex aimed squarely at younger children. Reviews describe it as bright, clean and easy to keep an eye on, with a dedicated baby area plus extra bits like colouring, books and building blocks to pad out the session. Parents seem especially pleased with the practical side of things: affordable entry, friendly staff, good coffee and a cafe that does decent food and child-friendly snacks. Party hosting also gets strong praise, with several reviewers saying the team handles everything and adds thoughtful little touches, which is exactly what frazzled parents want to hear. The main caveat is size. A few reviews say it is quite small, which is fine for toddlers and preschoolers but less ideal if you are expecting a huge soft play adventure. One reviewer also disliked the electronic screen at the back, so it is not a completely screen-free haven. Still, for the under-fives, it sounds like a tidy, well-run option.
