Reviews and details of facilities:

Holidaying in York, took our little girl there (aged 6) and loved it.
Slides and ball pool amazing, and nice little fenced off area for babies.
Food very reasonable, and grown ups can enjoy a glass of wine or a beer or two as they play, keeping all happy!
Outdoor area was fantastic, with go karts and sand pits and climbing frames, and some lovely animals and a petting area with guinea pigs etc.
It probably could get very busy, but that's just the way it goes, nothing to complain about really!
No time limit, and very reasonably priced.

Oh my......what a fab place!! Full height so we all have a good run around, yes all of us- 2 boys age 4 & 8 and both my husband and i- we all think its great. Tires everyone out and is big enough to lose the boys and sneak off for a coffee and a quick sit down, b4 taking up the chase again! Very busy both times we have been but staff on the ball doing their best to clear up after everyone. In the dry the outside is excellent fun too, altho trainers are a must for climbing!!

visited half term expecting it to be busy and my god it was, but the staff were fantastic calm and in control not nice experience for very small children when its that busy but my older one loved it as always, will continue to visit as I have always found the place to be clean and friendly.

I really don't rate Creepy Carwlies at all - I don't know what people are going on about when they say it's good! I think they need to open their eyes and look around.

My 3 girls (aged 7, 4 and 3) start cheering as soon as we pull into the car park of Creepies! There's something for all ages to do here and I can sit with a (really good!) cup of coffee and catch up with my friends while the kids tire themselves out on all the fab climbing frames and toys (seems to be something new every time we come - 7 & 4 year old love the disco area with the light show and of course the mammoth slide while 3 yr old heads straight for the play kitchen). We often stay for the tea time special which is good value (the pizza is to die for!!).
It's nice and clean with helpful staff - we always bring friends visiting York with kids here.
The new outside area is fantastic too.

i visited creepy crawlies on Friday for the first time. It was the disco night and I thought it would be good fun for my kids. It was a nightmare! The place was overcrowded and I couldn't believe how dirty the climbing frame was! I could literally make an imprint in the dust! The crawl tubes were also very sticky and greasy. It was also very dark and dingy and kids were bashing into each other in the frame because they couldn't see where they were going. I was really looking forward to going but after that horrible experience I won't be going back! I was very disappointed.

wow ! what a fantastic place, cant believe ive only just discovered it !I have four children from 2 - 11 and they all get so much out of it, ive been going after school for the tea time special its only a fiver and they get entrance and a meal think its great value.Thinking of having our regular 'mums do lunch' once a week as always loads of activities going on and even the manager does a fab organised song time that my 2 year old loves even if i do feel a bit of a wally doing the dingle dangle scarecrow ! safe, well organised and really clean.

What a place!!!! This is the best of it's kind without a doubt. With the soft play, giant slides, ball pools, fab food, outside aventure play park, giant sand pit, rabbits, guinea pigs goats, a donkey, a horse, a two fat pigs. Who could ask for a better place for the price? LOVE IT!I was there for three hours and could have stayed longer but had I jobs to do. I fed my baby and did not feel self consious with other people feeding too. The staff snmiled for the whole time I was there. I genuinly felt as if i was on holiday for the day. I relaxed, played with both of the children and have well fed.

We went to Creepy Crawlies yesterday and this is our second visit the first time we went we were pleased and really enjoyed it. This time it was warm outside and there was no air conditioning so it was like a sauna, everyone seemed to be complaining about the heat. This ruined it for us as my daughter just kept complaining that she was to warm! Also there were children running around the equipment with no supervision carrying ice creams and spilling it everywhere. I was not that impressed this time dont know if we will return.

Came during the week and found a new baby area, new, with baby toys, all very clean. Came a few months back and likd it but thinkgs are much much better now. The baby change is cool, someone has a sense of fun! Liked the new food offering. Some interesting specials, I had a roasted red pepper, gots cheese with a stringy cheese panini, it was gorgeous! The lady in the black did a songtime, I sat and did the actions and tried not to sing to loud!! She was lovely with the littleo ones, she has 4 children apparently? Going back soon!

We have two lively boys...4 and 6..they run off, I pick up my magazine and they come back to drag my husband round the adventure climbing frame! He never says no...this is the best thing about Creepy Crawlies..you can relax, they are safe, and if you are a child at heart you can join in the fun.Boys will be boys. They seem to have new things everytime we visit, a hair salon, new pedal cars, painting tables...I know they are doing ROSEMARY CONNELY on wednesdays...need tostop eating the cakes first, cant resist...who makes them????? Thank you Crew...they always smile..pity about the cakes..never mind I may start climbing with the boys to burn off the calories?

As a visiting grandparent to York-this is my favourite place to visit-fantastic safe atmosphere and while my grandkids are playing safely-grandaughter boogie-ing in the disco area-grandson being Beckham in the indoor football area-and great granddaughter busy sticking and painting etc.everything they want to do and no mess for the grandma!! My only task is to enjoy a fantastic coffee and home made cake and chat with the ever friendly efficient staff-and other stressless parents/grandparents -my only adverse comment for this place is: When will you build one in Chester!!!

FANTASTIC PLACE! We love the play facilities, the cafe, the staff, the extra bits that you do not expect all thrown in with the entrance cost! My little one painted..did musical bumps...picture bingo...and, and decorated biscuits!!??? It was clean, well organised and value for money! Thank you to all the staff xx The changing area was very big and not at all smelly, they encourage mums to feed in the cafe area, there is a quiet area you can request.
