I have looked at the jelly club , but not to keen on there , i need somewhere that will hold around 20 kids , If any body has had any good or bad experiences of places that could help me decide that would be great . Thanks in advance Derrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Moncs Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why not try Bonnyrigg Leisure Centre. We had my daughter's birthday party there a few years ago and you got an hour in the soft play room, which is a private hire and an hour in the large hall with a bouncy castle. The cost then was only ?40 but you had to take your own food. Might be worth considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Children aged between 1 and 15 is a hard one Derrick, a lot of places do over 3's where as others are children under 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i have to invite all the cousins and my nephews , i even have my own daughter aged 13 , it's going to be hard to find a place that will keep everyone occupied , I dont seem to be having much luck , if the weather was warmer in April i would hire a bouncy castle for the back garden or something like that , time is running out to book a place , ( maybe the wee man would make do with a Season ticket ha ha ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Time twisters at sighthill are very good although pricey. Had a kids party there and it was ace. Clean, decent food & party bags. http://www.timetwisters.co.uk/ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What part of Edinburgh are you from buddy? The trampolene centre in Porty is a cracking shout, though you will need to be careful with the wee one's, as the 4-15 year olds are a bit mental down there. Pretty cheap as well by all accounts. And there's a ladbroke's just round the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what my old man did with my nephew, and me mum made jam with the plums. Everyone's a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Moncs Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Another idea, what about Edinburgh Zoo? I think they do parties but not sure what is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
