- I could not talk more highly of our experience. With only a short amount of time from closing to the function starting, the team were amazingly efficient in getting everything cleaned, set up and ready for our party. Great venue for kids to have a ball, and parents to relax and enjoy themselves too. Highly recommend!Johanna C.
- Simply brilliant.
Super clean, great range of equipment. We've had every birthday party here for our little ones and have always had simply the best experience. Keep it up guys! Great work!!John M. - What can I say? We keep booking our daughter's birthday here every year for good reason. We love having the venue to ourselves, the team are always helpful, and the price for somewhere so clean and modern can't be beat. Don't ever change, Tumbles!Amy Z.

We've found that children celebrating their 1st birthday, up to their 6th birthday, get the most out of a party at Tumbles. There's plenty to keep children of these ages entertained and busy, and the menus suit them perfectly.
The play equipment is suitable for children from 9 months to 10 years of age (something to keep in mind when putting together your guest list).
