Reviews of Banana Ben's Play Centre + Cafe

D. S.

Nice place. Plenty of activities for the kids and slightly different to other soft plays. Prices are reasonable and food and drink are good

B. J.

I have a 4 month old and it was free for him today, I have had to pay for him in other venues. The 0-18 month section was great! He had a good time and was tired after it. I was really impressed with the baby changing facilities, really clean and smelt lovely (not all do). We’ll definitely be back very soon!

J. W.

Food & facilities are superb but the staff do not enforce age / area policies at all. Often bigger kids are allowed to open the bonded toddler area which allows the younger ones to escape. Granted its the parent's responsibility to keep an eye on the kids but who am I to judge the cumulative parental standards of the clients who attend of which I am one? Still, a great place to visit.

Went with my mum and my 2 year old son, it was his first time going and he loved it. They have a play frame for older kids but they also have a section for under 3 year olds and a section for under 18 month olds. It was very toddler and baby safe and I highly recommend it. Only thing I can complain about is some older lads went into the toddler section and trashed it and blocked the tunnel with foam pieces and the staff I told did nothing about it so I went and dealt with it myself..... Other then that it was fantastic and I'll take him again.

E. D.

First time visiting since lockdown started. They are doing such a brilliant job. Tables, floor and equipment is all spotless. They are offering table service through the website which is easy to use. Food and drinks are great. As usual my son is having a blast!

M. L.

Not overly priced. Large playzone with little role play rooms (market, vets etc) good food offering with reasonable prices. Toilets are always clean. Play area its self is clean and very well maintained.

k. H.

Nice clean place. Good choice of activities, good food. Only BAD thing is the policy of pictures/videos. The whole idea is to be creating memories for YOUR child/children. Unfortunately you are strictly restricted to be taking anything of any means. If you are videoing YOUR child, he/she is going to be move around, so instead of capturing their fun and enjoyment ( for your own memories ). You can't. Which I've never experienced before in all sorts of soft play centres. Which is why this visit is my 1st and last visit. But.. A lady is allowed to film a kids party walking and enjoying themselves around the whole vacinity, and nothing said.. Double standards springs to mind.

Had my granddaughter's birthday party today. Staff could not be more helpful. Took the stress away and granddaughter absolutely loved it. In her words 'Best birthday ever!'

c. r.

So glad for banana Ben's to be back open. My son loves it here. It's clean and safe and has lots of things for the children to do. He loved how chase from paw patrol came to visit when he was at a party. Lots of parking here. Friendly staff. Table service at the moment due to just opening up. Nice place to visit

B. F.

Good place to take under 9s.Clean and food easy to order. Kids enjoyed all the equipment and rooms to play in.

D. G.

Always clean with friendly staff. Make sure to pre-book during summer holidays to ensure a spot for your kids. Also available for kids' parties.

Took my godson, and he loved it there. The play area looks like one I'd have loved as a kid myself, and it's quite large. There's also a separate area next to it for littler-ones. Staff were operating table service while we visited, and you can order a large selection of drinks and food at a decent price. It also thankfully doesn't feel too loud there either, so you're quite comfortable sitting while the kids go play.

L. T.

Visited for the first time and will definitely be coming back. Banana Ben's was perfect for the six and four year old we visited with. We had to book in advance, so there was just the right amount of people allowed in so that we had somewhere to sit without any problems. The play equipment is huge and everything was really clean (which is quite rare for places such as this in my experience). We ordered food and drinks via their website, as it was table service, and it all came really quickly and was really good. The hot food we ordered was very tasty and came hot, so it was clear it had been freshly cooked (again this is rare in my experience when visiting places like this). Honestly I wish we'd eaten there instead of going on to a local pub. It was reasonably priced too. Overall it was great, the staff are friendly, welcoming and really pleasant to deal with. A brilliant first experience, which was down to their excellent staff and their standards.

S. D.

We booked in a larger group and it happened to be disney weekend. The whole place was spotless and the staff couldn't do enough for us. It was a brilliant couple of hours for all the kids. Highly recommended play centre.

B. H.

One word 'Excellent'! Been to one or two 'soft-play' facilities to date and by far the best. Friendly staff; well managed & clean facility and good quality, well- priced, food.👌👍

H. W.

Little one loves Banana Ben's... the dress-up; the super market and restaurant and the climbing frames are all fantastic!

A.

Kids love it here. Nice food, good service, plenty in the menus

N. A.

Our experience at Banana Ben's was awesome. Our kids loved it and we all had a lovely time.There are lots of fun things for kids to do and really good food. I feel it is worth every penny paid for ir

P. J.

What a truly superb play centre this really is. Streets ahead of the competition around Wrexham and Chester for cleanliness, food standards, play centre activities, staff friendliness and atmosphere. Hot day when we visited but inside it was cool and plenty of space. Wouldn't take my grandchildren anywhere else. If you are going to pay for child play this really is the place to visit. Been to others in the area and staff seem miserable, unhelpful, not the cleanest and food mediocre at best. Hot enough for children running around and climbing without a hot building to play in. Banana Ben's does not have these issues.

N. O.

Great children's play area for young children of all ages. I went on a weekday morning when it was relatively quiet however it can get very busy on weekends. There are 3 segregated soft play areas for babies, toddlers and juniors as well as several imagination rooms in the themes of a shop, cafe, school, building site and theatre. There is plenty of seating which is well positioned enabling you to keep an eye on the kids and a good selection of food for both adults and children. Everything is very clean and good quality and staff were friendly. Overall highly recommended.

J. W.

Recommend absolutely! Staff its fantastic, nice ! Place very clean and menu its brilliant!

A. M.

Kids had a brilliant time, daughter said her burger was nice. Seemed clean and no sticky tables! 😁😁

M. T.

Nice play area, table service and lovely sandwiches for the children.

G. B.

Great venue for grand daughter's 6th birthday. They all loved the play area and the mini disco. We enjoyed watching and also the paninis.

N. J.

My little girl loved it here, she was 14 months at the time and it was her first time in a soft play area. The staff are friendly enough but your abit rushed with your food if your still eating near the end of your session time. Also they do clean the areas as they state but I wouldnt say they have deep cleaned for a while as the tunnel in the toddler area iv very dusty. Also when you book it said we would be able to use the £5.00 or whatever it was in the cafe as this was for a child's ticket but this isnt mentioned when you do order food. All in all id recommended this play centre and will visit again once they are open after the covid19 lockdown.

T. B.

Brilliant for the kids and lovely coffee. Food is good and party's for the kids are fantastic. All staff are amazing.

A. H.

Very nice place to get a break for you and your loved ones. You could see and keep and eye ob on the kids while you have a break your self Nice staff. Nice kitchen

V. M.

Easy parking, 2 hrs free and one extra providing you register your car reg once inside. Lovely clean and bright play areas. Plenty for all under 10 to choose from. Such a variety of activities to enjoy. A good and varied quick grub menu for all ages and most enjoyable when food arrives. Staff always friendly and helpful.

M. E.

Great place to tire out the young uns. A good cafe for the grown ups. Breakfast till 11:30. Tea, coffees and soft drinks.

A. D.

Great day staff where lovely and helpful food good my little man run his leg off

N. R.

Took my 1 year old and 3 year old here on Thursday after winning a gift card. My boys loved it and my 3 year old has asked to go here every day since. The whole day was great and we had 2 bowls of chips which we all enjoyed but my 1 year old dropped the bowl on the floor and smashed it (again. I'm really sorry about that) but within seconds a staff was there with a dustpan and brush at the ready. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Thank you for giving my boys a lovely day. Very tempted to book my boys' joint birthday party here now 😍

J. A.

Went with our nearly 4 year old grandson. Excellent play areas with lots of different activities such as shopping, dress up and a reading area. Great food for kids and adults and the staff were brilliant. All in all we had a great time. We would highly recommend

N.

A little expensive, not much food option, but great fun for the kids

D. G.

Really good place, not much for the older child but it is well priced, drinks and food are cheap also. Plus blue light cards discount if you have one

B. C.

My kids absolutely love this place, there's so many different things for them to do there. I love the food and drinks they serve in their cafe. Great place.

S. D. R. W.

Was in today with my girls, they had a superhero theme, everyone was really helpful with questions etc, special mention to the girl who was Wonder Woman who was really helpful and enthusiastic. Good place will definitely be back soon.

A. W.

Great for the kids. Lots to do and enjoy. The open plan helps for easiest monitoring of your own little ones. New business so teathing problems. The food service is not great. 40mins for toast that comes partially burnt and the table service could be improved. Waitress wandering around looking for several minutes.

R. B.

We went to Banana Ben's for the first time with our 19 month old grandson yesterday...what a treat. The place is super clean with people cleaning tables frequently and making sure everything is in the right place. Parking is easy and we will definitely be back. Well done, such a pleasure to find somewhere clean, efficient and fun.

E. J.

Great place for kids, gets packed pretty quickly so best to get there early.

S. J.

Good new venue in wrexham Town centre. You don't have to pay for adults in this venue either.

K. E.

I had booked my daughters party for July. But unfortunately due to the pandemic it like many others couldn't go ahead! But I was happily surprised to have received a phone call 3 days ago from a lovely lady apologising for the party being cancelled and offered me a full refund. It was a relief as I was worried we wouldn't get it back! But the lady who rang was very friendly.

A. D.

Really good soft play area, very clean! kids loved the role play areas. Good range of equipment in soft play. Although I didn't eat anything the food looked appetising and would eat next time. Good value for money.

M. S.

This place is great for kids but as an adult a bit of a nightmare, our Grandson has a great time but it took me nearly 20 mins to get 2 teas and a Pepsi Max,seemed to be enough staff but 3 of them were more interested in chatting while making teas,coffee etc,no urgency! There must of been 20 people waiting in the queue with one girl taking the money,I nearly didn’t bother to be honest!

S. B.

A lovely new play centre in Wrexham. Play rooms excellent for younger children but mine was not interested (7). Queued for ages for my drink (large cappucino) which was taken by someone else so left with a (cold) regular latte by the time I'd realised someone had taken my order. Not overly impressed for the price.

A.

Had a great visit with the kids, ideal place for them to let of steam in a safe environment. Plenty of all ages too, including adults with the good selection of food/drinks.

j. m.

Great service. Briliant place, very clean, music for children,a lot of place. Very comfortable and great location. I was here first time today, I am really impressed. We will back here for sure. 👌👍 P.s. I forgot to say that is cheap. You pay for child not for hours. I think price is correct to high standard of place

C. L.

Really clean play centre. Amazing breakfast. Staff are super nice with the kids. Great theme days. Highly recommended.

C. W.

Great place to take the kids and the smaller babies lots to do there not a bad price for what they offer. Theres little off rooms where there is a disco in one dressing up in another building blocks in another and reading which is great to break up the play area overall a good experience

P. M.

Good play center for children but some parents take sick children there and nobody doing anything about it . I think employees should tell parents they can't go .

k. w.

Love taking my 21 month old granddaughter here, she loves it and gets excited as soon as she sees BEN, shes up and down everything like a yoyo, loves all the rooms especially the role play shop, cleanest place I have ever been and the coffee & cake are fab too!

H. W.

Great for the kiddies. Nice and clean. Good staff. All I would say is I think they are short on staff, either that or there letting to many in...

B. S.

Spotlessly clean, reasonably priced food and drink, friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't fault it and the little ones had a whale of a time. Keep up the good work :)

D. D.

My 5 and 7 year old granddaughters loved every minute of their 2 hour booked visit , brilliant place x

V. R.

Very busy, not enough tables but the children had an awesome time. The food was good and well presented 👏 my tea was in a teapot. Great. Thanks

p. o.

A bit pricey for kids for the session they have if they did it £5 they should have a longer session if they didn't do a longer session kids should eat free all the adults

K. B.

Good variety of play equipment, my 6 year old, 9 year old and 12 year old enjoyed themselves. Decent food too.

J. J.

The play areas are good, clean and nice bright colours but EVERYTHING from entry to food and drinks is far too expensive and a put off

t.

Get there early as it gets very busy. Gents toilet layout is a bit poor as the door opens from the concourse directly to the urinals.

K. J.

Brilliant place. Best play centre in the area. Clean, great customer service, well worth a visit.

(Original) Super miejsce aby dziecko mogło pod okiem rodzica wylądować nadmiar Energi,dodatkowo miejsce fajne w pochmurne i wietrzne dni.Polecam 👌👌👌
