点评:Weirdest business model I’ve come across!
Unlike soft plays at home where you pay to get in for the day, you are limited to paying per hour. I paid a HIGH cost price for a 2 hour slot, which I was happy to do so, as it was a day out and I understand costs of running these places. I booked 10 am to 12 pm to allow us to then use the soft play cafe for lunch after. Children had a good time playing, Office staff were extremely sour faced, But the staff out on the equipment were lovely and helpful. 12 pm came, The kids came out of soft play for lunch and we went to the cafe. I was asked what our timeslot was and explained 10 till 12, in which they replied, you’ve missed your timeslot for lunch. I assumed the timeslot was playing time, not the time that you were allowed in the building. (I completely understand if the place was extremely busy, but it wasn’t even a quarter full) and I mean, who’s going to have lunch at 10 am? She said I would need to pay for another hours play time to be able to get lunch there which would be £29. Plus the cost of lunch. So essentially, it was gonna be a £60/70 lunch for three nasty meals. Needless to say, They lost out on me spending my money in their café and I took business elsewhere. Greedy or stupid, I’m not sure which.

不像家里的软体游乐场那样需要付费才能玩一整天,这里却只能按小时付费。我花了高价玩了两个小时,而且我很乐意,因为这是一天的户外活动,我理解运营这些场所的成本。我预订了上午10点到中午12点的时间段,这样我们之后就可以在软体游乐场的咖啡厅吃午饭了。孩子们玩得很开心,办公室工作人员一脸不爽,不过设备维护人员都很友好,乐于助人。中午12点到了,孩子们从软体游乐场出来吃午饭,我们去了咖啡厅。他们问我我们的时间段是什么,我解释说是10点到12点,结果他们回答说,你们错过了午饭时间段。我以为这个时间段是玩的时间,而不是允许进入场地的时间。(我完全理解场地非常拥挤,但里面甚至连四分之一都坐不满)而且,谁会在早上10点吃午饭呢?她说我得再付一个小时的游玩时间才能在那里吃午饭,一共29英镑,还要加上午餐费。所以,这顿午餐最终要花60/70英镑,却吃了三顿难吃的饭。不用说,我把钱花在他们的咖啡馆里,他们亏了,我只能去别处做生意。我不知道是贪婪还是愚蠢,究竟是哪一种。
