Monkey Bizness

This weekend we visited the new softplay @ Xscape, Braehead and were really dissapointed!

Firstly it was VERY expensive! £5.95 for 2-3 year olds and for EACH adult it was a further £1.00 just to be there!!

The staff were all very uninterested. Young scruffy looking teenagers mostly! Not whom i'd put my trust on for good service or care of children. The young man on the front desk was on the phone when we arrived and actually scowled the whole time and "snatched" a pen from a wee boy who was leaning over the desk touching things.

Apon arriving in the centre I was reminded of a cage of monkeys at the zoo when they see the keeper coming with food! Wild!! (maybe thats where the name has come from?? Monkey Bizness??)

The food was expensive and very much FAST food with no homeliness about any of it.

The play area itself was OK. Nothing more.

The toddler section (which was full of teenagers I may add!) had ZERO supervision!
1 slide, a tiny ball pool, and a few soft climby bits. Very boring for any child who's steady on their feet and interested in "getting in about things" like my CJ.

All in all this place has every characteristic of a large national franchise. All about the money, none about the care!

Very dissapointing! Def won't be going back when there are places like Kidzworld in Glasgow and The Big Adventure in Linwood!
