Great for kids of all ages - even those 50+ years old. A detailed review….
This isn't a cheap experience (£75 for 2 children & 1 adult including £6 for a pre-paid photo at the end We went at 6pm on Good Friday and as it was later on, there were less queues. I can imagine that any time from 11am-4pm on a weekend the entire experience would get VERY busy and I would book outside these times if at all possible WARNING - remove all items from pockets and jewellery first & put them in your bag (before you go in) and put the bag in the cloakroom for £2 (for multiple items) It is a short 8-minute walk from Wembley Park tube station (on Jubilee & Metropolitan line) however you do feel like you are going into a slightly dodgy area with lots of high-rise buildings close together and fenced off building sites. T The service was polite and professional & there are lots of bright colours and electronics to immediately engage young people and help them feel transformed. To be honest, even the inside does have the feel of a warehouse that has been transformed with some cheap partitioning and curtains - so for adults it can feel a bit shoddy - however, the rooms are so immersive that if you 'go with it' you will be transformed too. The experience includes approximately 8 bubble-themed rooms. 1st room - a projection of fish and other marine life swimming around brightly-coloured coral on the floor. As you walk on the projection, your feet leave a trail of digitally-generated splashes. 2nd room - a walled space in which there are hundreds of large inflated latex balloons into which you can wade & kick balloons 3rd room - a giant white dome, on the floor inside are some cushions to lay on and you see that some trippy, mind-bending images are being projected onto the dome itself. Great chillout music. 4th room - include is a massive sunken rectangle filled with clear plastic balls and an inflatable head, elbows & feet with an inflatable rubber duck all floating on top. It is designed to look like a man is in a bath and the balls are the bubbles from his bubble path. This is a LOT of fun. 5th room - interactive elements including one where you can use a bicycle pump to inflate digital bubble gum being 'chewed' by people in famous paintings (Mona Lisa etc) The people in the paintings faces change, they go cross-eyed and their cheeks expand and then the bubble bursts over their faces.The digital mattress is supposed to be relaxing and there is a sign saying not to jump on it. In my experience, it looks too much like an inflatable bouncy castle for the younger children to resist jumping (despite the protestations of the staff) and so it isn't that relaxing but you can just lay down and go with the flow. 6th room - fun optical illusions. 7th room -100s of vertical strings of light bulbs that change colour & create disorientating effects enhanced with the mirrored walls. Like you are in The Matrix movie! 8th room - includes 2 robotic arms that dip loops of strings of various sizes into bubble water and create bubbles of various size and number. It is great fun for the children. Other element is a very 'Instagram-able' installation where you stand on a circular platform and pull on a rope to raise a loop of string from a 'moat' of bubble water around you. You end up with a bubble film entirely encasing you from head to toe which makes a great photo or video. Virtual reality headset room - This is good fun but not essential. As you leave the room, you are corralled into the gift shop where you are encouraged to spend your life savings on cheap tat (I bought two £12 bottles of bubble mixture with spinning plastic things on top - not cheap and not great value) As you re-enter the main entrance area you are confronted with a bar, food options and the official photo area. I really wouldn't bother with the official photo. The whole experience took over 90 minutes, however my daughter's friend had been before and I felt she left the rooms more quickly than if both girls were going for the first time. I would allow a...
Read moreSuper Fun at Bubble Planet!
We visited Bubble Planet today and it truly felt like stepping into a magical world! The entire experience was wonderful, with activities that delighted both kids and adults alike.
Atmosphere: From the moment we approached, Bubble Planet felt bright, bubbly, and welcoming. There wasn’t a long queue and within four minutes we had signed in. We had done the waiver and other declaration beforehand. The atmosphere was positive and enjoyable. There were always laughter and cheery chats in every room. We noticed how clean everything was, from the play areas to the seating spaces, which is a huge plus when you’re out with kids.
Activities and Attractions: Bubble Planet had an impressive variety of activities to keep all ages entertained. The big ballons, interactive displays were a hit with our younger children, while older kids ( and I) loved bubble bath-themed giant ball pit. The bubble-themed video games were especially creative, adding a unique twist that made the experience feel special and different from other centers we’ve visited. We didn’t do the VR experience but many other kids participated.
Staff and Safety: The staff at Bubble Planet were friendly and approachable and make sure everyone was having a good time.l while keeping safe. We appreciated the emphasis on safety, with plenty of staff members on hand to supervise the busier areas, and clear rules in place. Shout out to the lady at reception who gave us some tips, took a family picture for us in the infinity room, and helped us out with the coats.
Food and Refreshments: We didn’t eat at Bubble Planet as we had reservations elsewhere but they offered a range of food. At the exit were expensive desserts like ice cream and waffles.
Overall Value and Experience:
We spent at least two and a half hours in Bubble Planet, an hour more than the top recommend time as we really enjoyed it. In that sense we got our moneys worth. We left with happy, tired kids and smiles all around. We can’t wait to visit again!
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure with a creative twist, Bubble Planet is an absolute must-visit!
Tip : wear layers so you can take them off when you get hot and to use as a cushion when it’s...
