Sycamore Adventure — Attraction in Dudley

My friend and I brought our children here today. Both have complex needs but are very differently abled. There was something there for both of them to enjoy and to be able to access whether inside or outside. Some of the outside equipment is old and certainly in need of some TLC and some money investing into it and it would be much better if the outside was more wheelchair friendly as it was difficult going over alot of the uneven terrain with my Daughters wheelchair.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Unlike a lot of places they genuinely look happy to work there.

Parking isn't the easiest, the site is on a narrow street tucked at the back of an housing estate. Some food and drink are served, I didn't see a full menu so I cannot go into details. The coffee was nice though.

Its fantastic. I always take my kids here. Lots to explore. The only thing is it can get really busy sometimes and with lots of bigger children running around you can find little ones get trampled over sometimes 😅 but that's no fault of the centre. The workers are always super helpful. Extremely affordable and a fantastic community space. Some of the play equipment is a little run down but again the centre runs on little money and the local authority should plough a lot more money into spaces like this. For the price, it's a...
