It was announced that the closure is due to a fall in visitor numbers as well as other issues. 

One person commented: "So so sad to hear this. I used to come to this soft play as a child and had many of my own birthday parties here, as did my husband.

"We started bringing our son to Whale of a Time and it has become his favourite soft play too." 

Another added: "My kids are too grown for soft play now but when they were young this was a favourite of theirs, sad to see it’s closing." 

Someone said: "Me and my little one loved this place and found it was the better soft play to travel to, I'm so gutted."
