Parents in Preston often look for easy and entertaining options to keep children engaged. The soft play area at Fishergate Shopping Centre fits that bill perfectly. It's designed for young children to have fun indoors while adults pause their shopping.

Perfectly Placed Within the Centre

Located conveniently on the ground floor, the play area is right by the café seating section, so adults can stay close while keeping watch. The surrounding amenities, such as eateries and restrooms, are all just steps away.

Safe and Suitable for Toddlers

This indoor area features padded surfaces and toys suitable for small children. Well-maintained and hygienic, it ensures a pleasant environment for every visitor. Remember, an adult must stay with the child throughout the visit.

A Chance to Recharge Between Shops

Buggies and long queues test their patience, so this area gives them space to be active. A few minutes of climbing or crawling often results in calmer, more settled kids.

Benefits for Shoppers and Retailers Alike

Soft play within a shopping environment removes pressure from shopping trips. It extends time spent in the centre and supports return trips. Retailers see improved engagement, while visitors enjoy greater convenience.

Weatherproof Play in the City

Outdoor parks are fantastic, but this indoor play zone remains open regardless of the weather. For days when Preston’s weather isn’t cooperating, the Fishergate soft play area gives families a dry option right in the city centre.
