Explore a huge range of play and sensory activities suitable for all ages – and everything is included within your admission!
Riverside Hub is built for everyone — babies, toddlers, older kids, teens, and parents too. Babies have dedicated sensory rooms, toddlers get a gated soft toddler play area, and bigger kids (and grown-ups) can take on laser tag, go-karts, two 10-metre climbing trees, and the UK’s largest indoor playframe. There truly is something at every turn, for every age.
“Yes — one ticket price covers everything. Go-karts, laser tag, the UK’s biggest indoor playframe, two 10-metre climbing trees, space golf*, role-play villages, free-play arcade games, sensory rooms, and the toddler area are all included. No coins, no extras, no surprises. Just arrive and enjoy.

“Yes — Riverside Hub has been thoughtfully designed so that almost every activity is accessible to children with special educational needs and disabilities. We have dedicated sensory rooms, calming quiet spaces, and parents/carers can co-pilot the go-karts for children who need support. We hold monthly SEND-exclusive evening sessions (6:30–9pm) with reduced visitor numbers for a quieter experience. The Access/Nimbus +1 card is accepted for additional adult carers.

Think handmade pizzas, jacket potatoes, pasta, wraps, paninis, and chips — plus ice cream milkshakes, great coffee, and kids’ meals. Everything is oven-baked, never fried. Free Wi-Fi is included (password: ilovehub) so you can relax while the kids play
