23 Best Indoor Play Centres In Tyne and Wear

Newcastle to the coast is twenty-odd minutes on the Metro, and Tyne and Wear's indoor play list rides the same line. In the city: Active Reality Newcastle, five-star VR at £15 a session; TeamSport Indoor Karting Newcastle at 4.6; and Newcastle Trampoline Park & Gym, which publishes £10.25 and adds outdoor space to its bounce floors. At the coastal end: The Whitley Bay Treehouse and Littley Bay - Little Town of Play, the latter rated 4.8 for its miniature-town role play, both serving the seaside towns' families year-round. The list's other perfect score belongs to Retro Bay Cafe, £9 for a gaming cafe built on consoles your childhood remembers. At The Castle and Wacky Warehouse - Story Book fill in the soft play middle at 4.4 and 4.5. All twenty-three entries have indoor space — none of the county's play offer depends on the North Sea's cooperation — and four offer something outdoors as a bonus. Five venues publish prices; eighteen keep quiet, standard practice around here.
