Caregivers around Preston often look for easy and entertaining options to keep children engaged. The soft play area at Fishergate Shopping Centre ticks all the boxes. It's designed for toddlers and preschoolers to play, move and interact while adults sit back.

Centrally Located and Easy to Reach

Placed right on the ground floor, the play area is just beside the café seating section, making it easy for parents to relax. The surrounding amenities, including shops and food options, are all just steps away.

Designed with Children in Mind

This indoor area features soft flooring and equipment built for little ones. Sanitised often, 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

Extended shopping can lead to restlessness, so this area gives them space to be active. A few minutes of climbing or crawling often results in calmer, more settled kids.

Why Soft Play Supports Shopping Centres

Soft play within a shopping environment makes life easier for parents. It encourages longer visits and supports return trips. Retailers see improved engagement, while visitors enjoy greater convenience.

Indoor Fun Whatever the Forecast

Outdoor parks are fantastic, but this covered facility 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.
