Being a mother to a rather wild toddler, I’m always looking for ways for her to burn off some energy. Usually, this involves us spending a few hours in various parks , but occasionally if the weather isn’t playing ball, we have to resort to soft play to stop Ivy using our sofas as climbing frames. Somewhere close to us is Safari MK , so one rainy Saturday afternoon we took our wild one for an afternoon of play.

Safari MK is made up of three jungle themed areas; for babies, toddlers and older children. The older children area has loads of sections, with large slides to whizz down. Although my bonkers toddler would probably have a great time whizzing down these, we decided to go and play in the under 4’s section instead.

The under 4’s section has lots of soft play equipment to climb on, and in Ivy’s case – jump off. There are also loads of magnetic blocks which Ivy had a great time building with, and a climbing frame with a smaller slide for toddlers. Ivy had a great time running around, climbing on everything and going up and down the slide more times than I could count.

Another great area in Safari MK is the role play area, where there’s a few themed rooms with objects in for you to play with. We spent a long time playing with the fire engine as Ivy loves cars of all kinds at the moment. There were even clothes for you to dress up in, and fire helmets so you could really play along! I really liked the construction room and the shop room too, they were great for imaginative play and I imagine children older than Ivy would love these. There was also a games room and an interactive play room, these didn’t interest Ivy as much as the roleplay rooms, but Ivy is only 1 and this is something older ones would get more out of.

There are a few other areas we didn’t get a chance to explore, including more interactive games, a football area, and a didicar race track – although Ivy did get a quick go as we were trying to leave!

It was a great way to spend a few hours on a rainy day, and I was impressed with how much there was that’s suitable for toddlers. I really loved the role play area, we could have spent all day playing in there! Safari MK also does themed kids parties, which I’m sure we’ll be taking advantage of when Ivy’s older!

I Enjoyed Safari MK, Where Can I Go Next?

If you’ve enjoyed Safari MK and are looking for somewhere similar, I’ve mentioned lots of other soft play options on my blog. One that’s also in the Kiln Farm area of Milton Keynes is MK Springers, who run Waddlers to Toddlers sessions for under 5’s several days a week.

FAQs - Parties

For further information on our parties click on your location to have a look at our party leaflets;  Milton Keynes brochure  or Peterborough brochure

What deposit do I have to pay to make a booking? You can book online or over the phone and the office is open 7 days a week.  You pay £100 deposit, which is not refundable, and the balance is due when you know your final number, 10 days before your party. Safari Super Experience bookings must be paid in full at the time of booking.

Are your party rooms accessible?

Milton Keynes: We have one party room (Jungle-themed party room) located on the ground floor, therefore is accessible. Our other party rooms are located upstairs, and we unfortunately do not have a lift. Therefore we do strongly advise booking our jungle-themed party room on the ground floor if you require easier access to the room. 

Peterborough: All of our party rooms are located on the ground floor and therefore are accessible. 

Do I have to pay for siblings that I do not invite? Your Party Host will greet and sign in all your guests (names to be provided along with final booking details 10 days in advance of your party) and will ask the parent of any uninvited siblings to pay for their entry.

Do I have to pay for babies? There is no charge for 5 months and under. 

Do I have to pay for adults? There is no charge for up to 4 adults accompanying the birthday child/children. Any subsequent adults will have to pay the standard adult entry price of £2.50 per person. Feel free to browse our party brochure on page 6 to look after grown-ups on the day with tea, coffee and food platters - Milton Keynes brochure  or Peterborough brochure .

Do I need to confirm the numbers before the party? Yes please! At least 10 days before the party please give us a call or e-mail us to let us know the final numbers and a list of names. Your final balance is also due at this time.

Do I have to pay for children who fail to turn up? The final number confirmed as above will be the chargeable amount. No refunds will be given for children who fail to turn up on the day.

Is there music in the party room? All the party rooms have music playing for your enjoyment.

Should we arrive early? We will organise everything for you. You may wish to arrive shortly before your party is due to start but please note that your dedicated Party Host will not be available until 10 minutes before your party.

What clothing should we take? We ask all the children to wear sensible clothing which enables them to be active and have fun on our play structure. We recommend clothing that covers arms and legs to prevent injuries on our slides. All children must wear socks at all times. Socks are available to purchase from our reception for any child that forgets to bring them. Depending on your choice of party room, dressing up costumes will be provided before the party banquet.

Do parents have to stay whilst the children are at the party? Parents must sign their children in and out but parents do not all have to stay.  However, we do request that at least 1 responsible adult per 8 children remain on site and these adults remain responsible for the children. To maximize your party experience we welcome the 4 complimentary adults to join the party host and party guests in the themed party room for food and the cake celebration. Whilst all other adults can continue to relax and enjoy the reserved party table in the cafe. 

Do I need to send you details of all the children attending the party? We do ask you to update the names of the children attending on your online party portal OR you can send us a list by email and our party team will do this for you (first names are fine).  This is so that your party host can sign in all your children whilst you socialise with your guests. It makes it a lot easier on the day for you as well as your party host.    Your party host will ask for contact details of the children on arrival to help you but please remember you are responsible for all the children during the party so we do advise for you to also have a list of parent phone numbers if needed.   

How long will the party take? We allow 80 minutes for children to enjoy the massive play equipment and imagination/role-play rooms and a further 40 minutes for the party banquet.

What happens if we have some guests with allergies to certain types of food? Please let us know as soon as possible, and preferably at least 7 days prior to the party, regarding any dietary requirements. Our chefs will always do their best to accommodate your needs but we cannot guarantee a full alternative menu if dietary requirements are not made known to us within the 7 days requested.

Can I bring in my own birthday cake? Yes of course. Just let us know and we will provide the matches (please do not bring your own matches or lighters) as well as arrange plates and forks for you all as part of the party.

Are party payments refundable? Unfortunately, our parties are non-refundable. We are more than happy to move your party for you if you contact us 4 weeks ahead of the party date. 

On the day Please arrive 10 minutes before your party start time.

Your dedicated Party Hosts will be around throughout your party to make sure you and all your guests have a great time.

On arrival, let your Party Host look after the birthday cake.

You have a dedicated area just for the parents to socialise - if you want to order any adult food or tea and coffee it will be served here for you all. 

We will make a tannoy announcement to gather up all the children at the end of the play time when it’s time to go up to the party room - it is amazing but all the children know when it is time for party food! 

Depending on your theme, your party host will take you to your private dedicated party room to serve your party food for all the children along with a birthday celebration and cutting of the cake (one of the few things you need to sort is the cake as Safari does not bake cakes). Laser tag does not have a themed room as you get the whole of Safari to yourself after Safari has closed!) 

Is there a full list of terms and conditions for party bookings?  

Yes, we have a document you agree to when you book online you receive these by email when you book over the phone.  You have a 24-hour cooling off period from the time we send your booking confirmation if for any reason you are not happy with these terms or you just change your mind.  We will refund your deposit in full if you cancel within 24 hours of booking. 

The full list of terms are detailed here
