Been in both Falkirk play areas now and Cadwinkles is the best. Homebaking is brilliant abd the staff are really friendly and seem to like playing with all the kids. My big one really likes the drop slide and can pay with his wee sister in the wee area too.

sad to hear the odd grump re cadwinks! Been to loads of different play barns/areas. Cadwinkles our favourite. Some of the staff may be youngish as an earlier review complained of, but they are very helpfull and freindly, the owner is there most of the time I go and is very open to any suggestions put their way. We found the food as good as anywhere however the coffee is GRRREAT..which mums appreciate.Im fussy re cleanliness and have no complaints. Price is on par with most places.Big enough that they have great fun and laid out that you can see kids most of time. Secure facility,

I thought this was excellent! The food was really good and I thought the staff were extremely friendly. My three kids (2,4 and 6) had a ball and I was really happy that my six year old was able to play with her younger siblings in the under 5's area! We will definetely be going back!

Have looked at some of the reviews before and can't understand them. I have a disabled son. staff wouldn't let me into big area to play with him but gave me a very reasonable explanation why. They then gave me a very friendly member of staff to play one to one with him and offered to let us come in after closing one night so I could play with him. then they wouldn't let me play. what a difference in todays world. Well done cadwinkle!

We attended this soft play area on a Saturday mornign at 10am with a group of five two year olds. It was freezing cold and there was water dripping through the roof in several places. To top it all, there was a broken mirror on the wall directly above the baby changing mat. This could have led to a very nasty accident. For this privilege we paid £4.50. We will not be back.

Had my childs birthday party here last year in February. Kids loved the place - party as good as any. Found staff very grumpy and cheeky. I have a disabled son, he is very able but just cant walk without help, staff made me get out the ballpit in the larger section of the play area and go to the baby area. My son is 5 and all his friends were playing in the larger area - imagine how he felt!!
I only booked it because he had been to a party a few weeks before and I had sat in the ballpit with him. His party was first thing in the morning and was not even busy. I am qite small built and only 5ft tall so some of the kids were bigger than me!!
Wont ever be back - think this is discriminating against disabled children.

I ofetn take my kids (and their friends) to Cadwinkles. It's a great place for the kids to run riot without harming themselves or others--they love it. Staff are always friendly and helpful, food is good and the facilities are clean.

went with my two kids, found the staff too young for looking after children with no experience, the staff were very misrible. it was very expensive and not very well managed. Also food was under cooked and kitchen looks dirty not very hyginic for a play area for kids. As i left to go into my car i noticed that all the bin bags were on the ground and the birds had been pecking them. this is one place i wont go back to and wont recommend to any of my friends.

Fab place. Was there today. Staff very friendly and made good effort to make sure the kids payed safely and well. They were very patient when my 3 year old kept trying to climb up the slide the wrong way!!! Loved the chicken nuggets - Real chicken.

My kids (5 and 2) had a ball there. Liked the fact that you get your own table. Recommend the square sausage rolls, I had to eat 3 as the kids were too busy playing. Staff excellent, was impressed when a young woman came over to make sure my daughter was OK after she had been pushed by her brother!!!

Great atmosphere for the kids, my little boy loves it. Good they have new gates so the front doors can be open as it gets warm when the weather is nice. Had my sons birth party there and the staff were great with the kids. Great place!

I was at Cadwinkles recently with my daughters toddler group. It is one of the best soft play places we have been to. Staff very helpful, facilities excellent, food very good (made to order). My daughter loved it. Will definately be back with both my girls aged 8 and 3.

I regularly visit Cadwinkles with my sons 2 + 3 and would like to say contrary to a previous review I have never bought more than a coffee but always sit down at a table in fact I know that Cadwinkles policy is to only let chidren in to play if their is a table is available for the adults. Just thought I would jump to their defence as on my many visits I have found it an excellent place with very friendly staff.

Kids loved it, but it needs better air conditioning, as on a hot day with kids running around it was very hot. Food was good, varied choices available, but the day we went there was no baked potatoes, staff very helpful.

Excellent Play frame for under 5's. You can go in also and supervise your tot.
Food good but not much for vegi's. Loads of highchairs. Table's could do with a good clean though but floors and high chairs spotless.
Staff friendly and helpful and concerned over childrens welfare.

Excellent play facilities for the kids, and is well run by the folks that work there. It is located on Gowan Avenue (just off Graham Road). If you are not that familiar with Falkirk, make sure you know where you are going (cost me 3.50 for an A-Z today!!)
