Opinions please

Parents, particularly those on maternity/paternity leave

I'd really like your opinions on your socialising during this time, if you were to go to an establishment that was baby/toddler friendly where you could grab a coffee, entertain little ones with a bit of a play area, do a bit of sensory play etc would you rather;

A) have free entry to a general sit/coffee area but pay a small fee to enter soft play/sensory areas if you wanted them

B) pay a small entry fee like £2 which gets you access to all areas but limits you to say 1-2 hours entry

C) pay a fee of say £5 for all over access and stay as long as you want so you can chill wit baby friends as long as desired?

General - do you have an 'activity budget' so to speak that you try and stick to - what is this?

Thanks in advance

It costs £5 for soft play. Isn't this just the same?
We also have a free cafe with a play area near by if it's more like that. They make money selling food/coffee.

I would rather do c. Sensory play is about £5 a session anyway. I don't have a budget as if varies weekly but I try not to waste money on activities baby doesn't actually like (she wasn't a fan of baby massage but has a play group that she loves), and try to meet mum's at my place or theirs if we can.
