Hi. These indoor padded play areas are springing up all over the place in the UK. Not the pub attached ones so much, moreso the separate toddler death arenas you can let them loose in for a couple of quid. All manner of padded things they can move about, jump on, slide down and attempt to knock each other out with small plastic balls in. My little daughter absolutely loves our local 'Fun Factory" one in the UK. We move out to the Catalunya region permanently in August. I wondered if the bods with kids know if she'll have anything similar over there? Cheers.

I don't know where you are going in Catalunya. But there is a soft play place near us in Vilafranca called Planet Magic.

They are all over Madrid. They usually run after school activities as well (music, theatre, art, languages, etc) and toddler groups in the morning.

Yes, they are usually called "ludotecas"

There is a giant 10,000m2 children's palace here in Oviedo. The child has to be three though to use most the installations. Can't wait until my eldest can go!

Thanks for the info. We're going to be anywhere between Sant Cugat and the lower end of Maresme. We wont know for defo till we have our second reccy up there in July. So I think we're more the other side of Barcelona's cachement

Really appreciate your response tho. Thanks.

Thanks for that. Really interested to hear about the extra things they put on. That sounds perfect news. Thanks.

Ahhh...a name to google. Perfect. Now I know what theyre called Im sure I can find the nearest one to where we live. Although mine is uder 3 also. But as you say 'most' of the installations, it sounds the same with the UK ones. Where they have a toddler area (which she still loves to be in!) So that'll do nicely. Many thanks.

Unfortunatley this isnt a chain, it only exists in Oviedo.

I suggest googling "ludoteca barcelona" or the actual town you will be living in

t2uds

Yes I did that thanks. I found a chain of ludotecas called Aventura Parks thats all around the area there. Cheers.
