Not a climb-and-slide soft play but an imaginative role-play town built for little ones — eleven themed areas where your child runs the bakery, staffs the pizzeria, answers the fire station and does hair in the salon, costumes and all. Capped 90-minute sessions keep it calm and clean, with a proper coffee for you.
What you'll do — play pretend across eleven themed areas: bakery, pizzeria, fire station, salon, a pretend campfire to toast marshmallows and more, with costumes and props to dress up in.
Made for the littlest — pitched at non-walkers up to about 7, floor-level and gentle, so it works for babies and toddlers as well as older pre-schoolers.
Calm by design — sessions are capped and booked, which is exactly why families say it stays clean and uncrowded rather than loud and hectic.
How long & cost — a 90-minute session, which has been around £9 a child. Prices change, so check the current rate when you book.
Coffee shop for grown-ups — tea, coffee and a bun, with seating to actually sit down while they play.
Socks on, shoes off. Socks are required for children and adults, with shoes off in the café before you go in.
Book ahead. Numbers are capped, so pre-book your 90-minute session online rather than turning up on spec.

Getting there
Itsy Bitsy Wonderland, 24 Railway Road, Coleraine, BT51 2PE — in central Coleraine opposite the leisure centre, a short walk from the town centre, with pay-and-display parking behind the leisure centre.
Itsy Bitsy Wonderland is an indoor imaginative playtown on Railway Road in central Coleraine, opposite the leisure centre. Rather than a climbing frame, it gives under-7s eleven themed role-play areas to dress up and play pretend, alongside a coffee shop and a small gift section.
It runs on capped, booked 90-minute sessions, which is why families consistently note how clean and uncrowded it stays — a calm, gentle alternative to the bigger frames when the North Coast weather turns.
