Edinburgh’s kids have enjoyed the city’s soft play centres over the years, with some gone forever but not forgotten, including Little Marco’s at Grove Street – Scotland’s first indoor soft play area, which opened in 1980.
Since then soft play centres have popped up all over the city, including at Ocean Terminal, the Royal Commonwealth Pool and the Wester Hailes Education Centre, providing a great place for the kids to let-off steam and allow parents to enjoy a well-deserved cuppa.
