High Rise family adventure centre in Lisburn has this week (12 October) opened a new extension to its soft play area. The expanded soft play area, which is designed for toddlers, features new soft play equipment including a mini slide, crawl and paly tunnel, caterpillar rocker as well as a number of ride on vehicles.

Marie Marin, Chief Executive of Employers For Childcare, the Lisburn-based charity which owns and runs High Rise, commented: “We are delighted that, in response to feedback from our guests, we have been able to extend the soft play area at High Rise to offer more to keep our youngest guests entertained. Our soft play is incredibly popular with parents, grandparents and their little ones, especially during toddler mornings on Thursdays and Fridays in term-time, and now there’s even more for toddlers to explore.

“So we look forward to welcoming lots of returning guests to try out the new soft play area, as well as many first time visitors. As a Social Enterprise, every single visit to High Rise helps us to continue the vital work of our charity, supporting parents locally, and across the UK, to be better off.”

Soft play at High Rise Lisburn is open Thursday-Sunday from 9.30am and opens late (last entry 7pm) on Thursdays and Fridays. A SEN/autism friendly soft play session takes place once each month on a Sunday morning with fewer people and a quieter environment (click here for remaining 2023 dates).

Guests are advised to pre-book all soft play sessions at High Rise Lisburn.

Due to demand from guests, High Rise will be open an additional day – Wednesday 1 November – during the upcoming school half-term holidays.
