To actually enjoy playing in soft play centres when I'm over 30?

[EclecticShock]

With my 2 year old, there were quite a few other parents who seemed to be having a whale of a time too... I don't think I'm alone :)

YANBU - I've often thought there's a market for grown-up soft play centres and am quite tempted to barge small children out of my way to crawl through some tunnel or go down a slide. Was going to say adult soft play but that's a whole other thing...!

YABU

The last time I took DS, he declared he didn't like it secretly proud

My ds used to dislike it... Thank god, he's seen the light, I might look a bit strange playing by myself :)

I've been considering trying to get in his little tike, but I haven't taught him how to dial 999 yet.

LOL, a friend and I were talking about this the other day while climbing around with our two year olds. She thought there might be a market for keep fit sessions for adults at soft play centres!!
I quite like it, though every now and then I want to sit down, e.g after DS says "again" for about the 30th time and I have to climb yet again through various small steps and obstacles in order to get to the slide again. Maybe it's just our soft play - it feels like I have to fold myself in half to get through some of it!!

I'm pretty short, I think it gives me an advantage.

I enjoy drinking coffee at soft play whilst the little darlings go off and entertain themselves for an hour or so

i've worked in one and would happily never set foot inside one again! (especially when i've been round cleaning it )

Germy, to be fair, I wasn't sure if I might vomit after the tenth spiral slide.

Some of them will do private parties for grown ups if you ask...

Lol, I know where to have my dps surprise birthday party now :)

YANBU I used to love it and I was 34 :)

Omg I actually said the same thing to dp! I think if gyms were as much fun there would be no obesity epidemic!!

The only thing I don't like is parents ignoring their little shits who go in the toddler/ baby sections and turn violent/ too rough etc

I might be a bit closer to 34 than 30. Prime age for rope bridges, I reckon.

I make sure I've got leggings on instead of jeans so I go faster down the slide, and I'm over 30! My Dad, coming up to 60, bloody loves them! Xxx

I agree, they would be much more fun than the gym! They should do charity races for adults. I've been getting in a fair bit of training.
