why should kids get all the fun? aibu to think soft play for grown-ups would be wicked fun and just as good as a gym session? Grin

I once went to an engagement party held after hours in a playgym. It was fabulous. :D

YANBU.

Race you to it...!

TitsalinaBumSquash · 26/02/2011 21:44

They have one fairly near me, I would lose so much weight if I went to one a few times a week, I love playing in soft play Grin

YANBU. I always use every change I get to go to softplay areas (The one at the National Army museum in particular) Too good my mindees were quite young and did need help :D

With wine!

JockTamsonsBairns · 26/02/2011 21:45

There's an adult one in Hull

pozzled · 26/02/2011 21:45

I've always thought that. There are some great high-ropes course type things out there which are similar but they only ever seem to be used for corporate training events or hen weekends.

There is one near me that opens after 8pm just for adults! it is very popular fopr the over 18's.

I had my 18th at a soft play centre and my dad had so much fun that he had his 50th at the same place Grin

RamonaFlowers · 26/02/2011 22:08

Oooh, I would LOVE this!

Cies · 26/02/2011 22:09

There's one in Plymouth that's open after hours for adults!

gapbear · 26/02/2011 22:10

Googled 'adult soft play'.

Really wish I hadn't Blush

Vallhala · 26/02/2011 22:10

morethanyoubargainfor, are you willing to tell me which one please? I took a peek on your profile and spotted that you're in the same neck of the woods as we are. :)

Vallhala · 26/02/2011 22:12

PS EauRouge, your dad sounds like my kind of man! I like his style. :)

DD1 will be 16 soon. Guess where she wants to celebrate her birthday now I've read this thread to her? :o

Scootergrrrl · 26/02/2011 22:14

Whereabouts is the one in Hull? Am not willing to take my chances with Google.....

pigletmania · 26/02/2011 22:14

YANBU at all, why should kids get all the fun totally.

Doha · 26/02/2011 22:16

Very difficult for owners to get insurance to cover adults. There was a case in Sheffield where an 18year old broke his neck as the equipmwnt is primarily designed for children. The owners got taken to court.

BitOfFun · 26/02/2011 22:16

How about something like this?- I think it looks amazing.

thingumybob · 26/02/2011 22:18

I went to a 30th birthday party at a softplay place. There was Wine. It was fun Grin.

mamaGool · 26/02/2011 22:24

BitOfFun I've done "Go Ape" (v. similar) & it was SO much fun! Grin
