Currently at a new, rather 'trendy' children's play centre (can't really call it soft play as nothing is really that soft! All trendy wooden shelves to climb on instead of foam steps etc ).
Very odd but my little one likes it.
I'm really short on cash at mo but thought I could stretch to coming here, despite knowing it was half term. (My child isn't of school age).
Prices gone up from £4 to £6 for a 2yr old and (£5 per adult) because of Half Term........ Annoying but fair enough. They have a business to run.
Get to ordering a cuppa (can't come without getting a brew! That would be torture!!) - £3.50 Caramel Slice - £3.50..... I nearly fainted. Instead I ordered some hot Ribena @ £1.20 and a Unicorn shaped Shortbread @ £1.70 & made do. Was quite nice to be fair.
They've actually put the prices up of food & drink by at least 40% by my reckoning.
AIBU to think they're taking advantage of Mums desperate to run their kid's energy off but whom don't have the funds to pay what is probably a pittance for Boden-clad gang?
Before I get flamed, I totally get that they have overheads to pay and it's perfectly normal practise to increase the entry fee slightly during school holidays but £18 for my daughter to go down two slides, a quick go on a tethered indoor swing and....well that's it. A cuppa and a caramel slice for me (If I'd succumbed and paid the price they were asking) £18??

AIBU?
To think £3.50 for a Caramel Slice is extortionate, even for Soft Play?!
