Doors open approximately 10 mins before allotted time, normally a queue outside but this goes quickly as they let everyone in. There is a lift to get to main level. Place is very large with 2 levels of play, they have pedal bikes there too. There is a decent cafe and seemed to be enough seats for the to sit down at. Seemed safe enough to let my 6 and 9 yr old run around by themselves, it was quite busy, but didn't seem overly packed. Toilets were clean enough and the cafe was stocked with the usual drinks and snacks for the and the coffee was decent. seemed ok, although it is up to you to police your once inside, so they need to be confident and old enough to run around by themselves unless you want to get stuck in with them. Sessions are 90 mins. Seems pricey at around £13 per child and £5 per adult, but compared to other plays it's not too bad as it is larger than others and the said it had good slides and was the best one they had been to recently. It's located in bluewater next to the cinema. Creams is next to it ask if you fancy an ice cream for a treat after. Overall recommend. Was a bit worried about the place after reading previous reviews... Fantastic place. Large with dinosaurs and a good cafe. were very friendly and there is a lot to do here in the hour and a half slot. I would highly recommend. My loved it. My loved it , also you have to book online to get in over all it’s a lovely place ❤️ A good place for to , quite big and clean as well. 3 stars because of the . £48 for 2 and two . You can go somewhere else for less than half of the price. If you take out the dinasours is no difference than other playground. So the Dinasours doesn’t justify the price😕 It’s a complete rip-off for the amount they charge! £50 for 2kids for 1hr 20 mins is ridiculous. The adult is forced to pay a mandatory £7 entry!! I have to sit there (not allowed to leave) the whole time! Why do the have to pay!! Also, the stipulates a 1-hour 30-minute but they will start kicking you out before the runs out as they close it for housekeeping! Why not do it afterwards? If I am paying this amount, I want my to enjoy the full 1.5 hours!! Gravity Children's Centre is a much better option! We always go there. Lastly, they have hired a bunch of for minimum wage who have no interest in customer service! So parents are basically paying the entry fee and also doing part of their job!! Based on other reviews, I had been avoiding it all this but are and finally caved in. Not visiting anymore and I urge other parents to think twice before spending the hard-earned money! Yes, I can afford it but I also want to be wise with my choices and this one was not!! Seemed like a large cool place for my toddler to run about. Rather pricey though for the to get in which I find weird and the cafe might as well have just been a coffee and vending machine, it sucked. Waste of having there. Bless the young girl that has to keep walking up and down the stairs to let people in and out. Up there with the best plays we have been to in Kent. I would say this and Monkey Bizz are the best however this is a lot more expensive. £24 for one adult and one child. I thought the lockers would be digital being Bluewater but they need a pound. You can buy a trolley token from the cafe inside for 50p. You get your pound/50p token back. The is clean and although fully booked, I didn't find it over packed. The dino area was also something different and Evie enjoyed it. Sand to in, fossil area to dig and also colour your own dinosaur which you can then place in the computer and it puts it onto the digital screen. Overall, definitely a once in a treat due to the but a very nice experience. were friendly. Not so much some of the allowed to roam free from parents doing whatever they wanted (saw one kid throw sand in another eyes). Did not try the cafe food. This place is lovely and fun for BUT the is an absolute joke!! Not just to get in but the of drinks and snacks wow! A cream egg and a can of coke £2.50 each! Just me and my daughter to enter was £23! And the goes up during holidays and weekends. I won't be returning because of this reason. Facilities are good but the value for money isn’t great, ie it’s fairly small and you only get 1.5 hours. The last 15 minutes of the felt like one continuous announcement that it was to leave soon, and they started trying to usher people off the bikes and slides before the end of the which was a real fun killer. My son and I enjoyed our here; it was during a that was not very full which helped. Could definitely be cleaner. were polite and helpful. Went with my 3 year old son on Sat 16th Nov in the 13:00 slot. It was just full of wild and unruly running amok all over the place. I was with my son the whole and saw them just barge past him, push him out the way and one of them even kicked him. The don't care, they just fill as many people into the venue as they can. I did not feel safe leaving my child unattended. I have a monthly pass for this place which I cancelled after this experience, it was so bad. Edit: Attended a birthday party here in March 2025, one of the had urinated on the floor. It was just left there and none of the cleaned it up until the end of the 90 minute session. I had to constantly watch my boy and make sure he didn’t stand in it. Avoid Dinotropolis – Overpriced and Poor Value for Money Dinotropolis charges more for the accompanying adult than other centres charge for children. Sessions are shorter too – just 1.5 hours compared to the standard 2 hours elsewhere. The equipment is poorly maintained. My son reported that the ball guns were either broken or an optional extra – on top of the already sky-high entry fee! Seating for is completely inadequate. If you're too slow to grab a spot in the overpriced café, you’re left perching on the shoe benches. There’s no presence to enforce rules, which means older run riot in the toddler area. But when it’s to clear out, five suddenly appear to hustle out – with five minutes still left to play! Dinotropolis seems to rely on its prime location at Bluewater to ignore complaints. It’s busy, yes – but you have a choice. Save your money and find somewhere better for your family. I was looking for a new experience to share with my daughter and stumbled across Dinotropolis. After reading some reviews I was hesitant to go but as it’s in Bluewater I figured if it was that bad we could leave and make use of the other facilities within the shopping centre. But after attending I felt compelled to write my own review as I think the ones that are very negative are far too harsh. The first of all, were fine, all very friendly and looked happy to be there despite it being ‘work’ for them. The facility itself. It was great, it’s a large space with a lot of different areas to crawl and climb through. My little one had a blast and didn’t want to go after the hour and a half was up. Hygiene wise. I didn’t notice anything untoward. It’s been around for years so there are some ‘rough edges’ but nothing too concerning, a frayed playing mat here and there or some sand missing from the sand pit, but certainly not enough to warrant it being unclean. As for the comment about the and it being rowdy and ‘packed’. It’s a play! go mad, it’s part of it, pushing and knocks are going to happen, are crazy, it’s not out of control, it’s having fun. It was busy when I went but we just made our way around the different areas and enjoyed it, no different to any other we have been to. The constant reminders about the season coming to and end are rather loud but a necessity, if they didn’t have them, every one would be piling out of the place all at once dead on their finish and it would be chaos. The reminder mean some people leave a bit earlier and some stay, so the foot traffic is managed better, I felt no pressure to leave early and me and my little one stayed right up until the we had paid for with no one ushering us out. We even got some food afterwards before making our way out, which, was a bit pricey but again, nothing out of the ordinary, if you want a cheap experience then pack a lunch and go to the park, this place is no different from any other and the actually itself is large and lots of fun. We will very likely go again. Awful customer service and unclean Our daughter always has a great here! Lots to do. Charging to go in on a child’s is ridiculous Utterly overpriced, with rude staff. member wouldn’t even let us have a look at the to see what it was like. Won’t be coming back why would I book something if I can’t see if it is appropriate for my SEND children. Avoid! Wouldn't waste my money again. The centre isn't bad but the honestly. Ruined it. The itself is good, but it’s massively overpriced — £48 for two and two children, with charged £7 each, which feels unnecessary. It’s also not very accommodating, as buggies must be left downstairs, which is really inconvenient if you have more than one child or a toddler who needs a nap. The 1h30 is standard, but not long enough to enjoy everything. A shame, because the facilities could be great if the overall experience wasn’t so disappointing. Rip off and lack of organisation, took my baby to in the baby only section, within 5 minutes there was over five 7-10 year olds running and jumping all over, knocked my 13 month old multiple times and no care from the parents at all, didn’t care and no one addressed the issue, left within 15 minutes. are only there for the pay check and seem to be all under the age of 18. Daughter loved it but it wasn’t worth the price. I expected a lot more. 48£ for a 2 and 7 years old and 2 adult for 1,5 hour. I was hoping to get something for my money but this is very overpriced. There is lot of teenagers who walks around and around chatting and counting steps:-)) They get payed to look after themselves to have their aim steps not to help or even looking out if someone needs help. Never seen anything like that. Always enjoy bringing my son here. Clean facilities, friendly staff. No investment since it opened. The dino screens where your dinosaur come to life does not work and are outdated, the coffee (your not allowed to bring your own) is like something from a second hand car dealership made from a 1 button press machine. enjoyed it for 30 minutes before being bored. The is ridiculous. Why are we paying as adults? Quiet when we were there. I wonder why. After reading some of the reviews I was worried about our visit however we really enjoyed it. Yes it’s on the pricier side for a softplay but with the sand excavation, drawing zone and dinosaurs we felt it was worth it. There were lots of around and most parents were supervising their children, we visited on a Saturday during school holidays and it didn’t feel too full or hectic. We would visit again. Overpriced, disorganised, with no seating for adults. Having paid a fortune for a 90 min session, to be kicked out 5 mins early so they could get ready for rhe next is unacceptable. were friendly is their saving grace! Very expensive which I didn't mind as a one off treat but they are very keen to get you out at the end of the and made multiple announcements starting 15 mins prior to the end that it was closing. For £24 (which included £7 for me to come in and supervise my child) I would have expected a bit more of a welcoming experience. My daughter enjoyed it but no more than any other cheaper to be honest so we won't be returning.
