Kiki’s Kabin

Located in the old Frank Wappitts church, this is the place to be if your between 3 and 10 years old.
My 2 girls love it here and so do me and my hubby.
Kiki’s Kabin is on the outskirts of North Shields bordering Tynemouth. There is no where to park, so you have to park in the neighbouring streets if you can or in North Shields town centre and walk up.
The place is very secuirty concious, they take yours and the childrens details as you go in. You can only get in or out if the staff release the gates so no chance of your little one excaping on their own. on exit they also check you details. So someone going in with 1 child cannot leave with 2.
there is a small café serving hot and cold drinks and a range of snacks. Nothing fancy just food you would expect kids to eat such as nuggets and sarnies — but the prices are good and my kids eat it so I’m happy.
The play area is over 3 floors. Starting on the ground floor for the younger children. There is a soft play area and a racing car track. There is an entrance to a climbing zone which leads to some ‘fast’ slides as I was told by my 4 year old. The next floor caters for older children and as I have a 1 and 4 year old I’m not too sure what happens here. On the top floor there is a bouncy castle which can be hired for private parties as well.
there are lots of tables and chairs on the ground floor for parents to sit and watch.
Last time we went, toddler time was Tuesday and Thursday. You can stay all day and the toddlers get free juice and biscuits. It’s great as all of the bigger kids are at school and the toddlers get the run of the place.
Kiki’s is really packed on a staurday and during school holidays so I’d recommend going during the week and in term time if you can.
