Good places to go with an 11 month old?

My brother is coming down to York to see me this weekend :-) He has an 11 month old DS and I need to think of stuff to do with them. Apparently, my brother's DS just wants to crawl all the time, so I was thinking that the soft play that was formerly Wacky Warehouse Riverside, would be a good bet, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of where a small child could crawl around without being trampled on by millions of people (what with it being half term.) The weather is also a bit pants, so I don't think that outside would be a brilliant idea...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated :)

There is another soft play called creepy crawlies which is v popular and not too vile. Fairly clean most of the time anyway. It's further round the ring road near Tesco.
Crawling places aren't easy to come by tbh. You could go to Waterworld and swim?

Thanks for the reply :)
We found that Creepy Crawlies was quite expensive last time we went as we had to pay for the adults too Shock I have never known a soft play to make the adults pay before - surely they get enough money out of my coffee addiction while I'm there!
I'll suggest swimming - didn't think of that. Thanks :)

Or the new library in town? Has a great kids section which is really big and right next to the coffee shop bit.

I wouldn't go to the Hungry Horse (new name) - we went for a birthday party and it wasn't that good, or that clean. Much more for older children I thought. If you want a good soft play, try Crazy Tykes on Thorp Arch trading estate - very clean, lovely food (the kids food is especially reasonable, £1 for beans on toast, pasta etc), nice coffee, and a good under 3s play area with a little slide, ball pool, big foam shapes to crawl over etc. And they don't charge for the adults!

Otherwise, Waterworld is OK but I don't think much of the cafe tbh, or you could try the swimming pool in Tadcaster which has a very nice toddler pool completely separate to the main pool so not too splashy.

If you are in York then the Spurriergate Centre is a very child-friendly cafe with a play area.

HTH and have a lovely time.
