Playmania Ltd Wath Road, Elsecar, Barnsley S74 8HJ

"I've been going for ten years now with my children and it has always been my favourite place to visit - I don't even live in the area now but still travel as it's worth it. The play area staff are proportionately mature making for a much more pleasant experience and the food is homemade - so enjoyable to enjoy a proper hot dinner :) Just had our first birthday party, frozen themed. It was brilliant. Well organized and dedicated to pleasing the children. 30 mins straight of party room fun and engaging activities suitable for a broad range of ages."

"Certainly a nice place to take young children. From about age 1 upwards it's suitable. There is a rainbow wave slide which they're not too fussy if adults use and hold young children going down. There is a gated area for under 3s. And a football type area for just running around etc. Foods average, service speed is good. If booking a party the vegetarian options are pretty rubbish, deep pan pizza and kids don't really go - no kid eats the bread and half just gets wasted. Staff seem friendly but most looked fairly miserable, customer service really could be better, wouldn't hurt for them to smile a bit more-kids area don't need to serious. All in all worth the day out, as you can visit Elsacar Heritage at same time"

"Visited this place for the first time. It is difficult to find as Google maps will take you somewhere else and in order to get to this place. As it is inside the elsecar heritage centre. We haven't visited such a place before but weren't given any instructions in terms of if you are allowed in the play area of not as some kids need assistance. The play area for kids is great. Only negative is that kids over the age of three came in and started running around but within the next ten minutes the staff came and asked them to leave such I think was the right thing to do"

"I have a gold membership for here and my son also just had his birthday party there yesterday. Cannot recommend it enough. Lovely team of ladies who run it and some great members of staff. Particularly Megan and Jack who always go out of their way to make each visit special. The best all day breakfast you will find for the price and a good range of hot drinks and snacks. I recommend the home made scones with jam and clotted cream."

"I've spent lots of hours here with my grandchildren. It's a small soft play area so idea for the younger child. I would say under 8 years. There is a separate section for under 2's. There is an open ball game space at the back and a larger area for bigger children. The cafe is reasonably priced and the food is good. They have a discount / membership card scheme. The baby disco is fantastic for toddlers this is in a room at the rear and you need to book, my granddaughter loved the music and the bubble machine. They also do parties and have activities at Christmas."
