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 moreHi all, this is my review of bubble planets. Please note I am not sponsored or paid to visit this place yet! However I’m doing this with intentions of giving accurate and non-biased reviews to help families to have a great time out.
There is no parking on site so have to park in car parks nearby. However, if you take public transport that might be easier. But has this is a family venue, parking nearby would’ve been ideal. We had to park in a nearby car park. That was at least a 10 minute walk. Fortunately it was sunny but it was really cold. It was only 5° outside the car. Parking is expensive. It cost £20 for all day. It is also quite tight.
This is brand-new, everything is very clean and fresh.
Most of the staff are very friendly and they are very young.
My kids were very excited, and to be honest, it is very impressive.
Hope this is not a spoiler alert. However, the first room you enter is a room full of fish that you can interact with.
There were a lot of fun and unique activities and facial experiences, so I will let you discover the rest. All I can say it was amazing.
Overall, this is a very fun and exciting exhibition!
Tool the end, you have the opportunity to take some photos of okay displays. Then you enter the shop area . Luckily when we went, it wasn’t too busy, but I can imagine when it’s very busy. It’s going to have so many people everywhere so the experience might not be as good as when we went. It gets pretty crazy at the end with all the kids running about, so I can imagine this place being trashed by kids very quickly!
Overall, it’s a great experience for families and even adults. However it’s fairly pricey as you can see by the prices!
I might start doing YouTube videos in places where I go so watch this space! I have a lot of videos captured so I might add it soon!
Please note I am not sponsored or paid. I just do this for fun and to help others. I tend to do mostly family activities! However, if anyone wants me to review the place, try and contact me somehow! Cheers and thanks...
