Indoor Play Centres in Henderson

Whoa! Studios is Henderson's flagship (4.4 stars from more than 850 reviews) and genuinely one of a kind: a working film studio whose Urban Playground, built for ages three to twelve, runs alongside live theatre shows and a restaurant on site, with seasonal inflatable extras when they are up. Playground entry is a paid casual rate, and it comes free on the same day as a show ticket.

Running Grid on Railside Avenue is the new-school option: private gaming rooms where your team jumps across hundreds of glowing floor tiles, floor-is-lava style, through a rotating library of game themes. It suits kids from about five, kids three and under join free, and under-13s need an adult with them. Booking only, no walk-ins.

Chipmunks Playland on Central Park Drive, the classic soft-play centre for babies through to age eleven, is currently closed for a full refurbishment, so check its listing for reopening news before planning a visit.
