At Treehouse Softplay Centre in Lurgan it’s always been about making summer play affordable for families.
Husband and wife team, Stuart and Katie Patterson – who own and manage the children’s entertainment centre in the Quarry Business Park – launched their Summer Pass last year to help parents take control of the costs and manage the stress of school holidays.
As a mother herself, Katie has drawn on past experiences to help develop a cost-effective solution for parents. She explained: “As a parent, it can be difficult to budget a full summer of activities when you have a limited budget and kids to entertain.
“It’s why we’ve put together the summer pass with free activities Monday – Friday to ensure the kids are always getting something a little bit different!”
“At Treehouse Softplay our goal is to provide a high-quality experience and atmosphere.”
So, for 2025 the pair have reintroduced the Summer Pass owing to last year’s great success.
Summer Pass
The pass grants unlimited entry to all of their weekly normal sessions including weekends.
It’s priced at £50 per child with the first sibling’s pass at the reduced rate of £35 and any other sibling thereafter price at £25.
Treehouse Softplay Centre run free activities from Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm each week with each day spotlighting a new and exciting event for children.
On Monday they enjoy special character visits, on Tuesdays they have arts and crafts time, on Wednesday they will have balloon modelling, Thursday boasts creative colouring and on Friday they have everyone’s favourite day with free ice cream for all children!
Affordable Food Options
As part of their continued effort to make summer affordable, Treehouse Softplay Centre run a ‘Kids Breakfast’ priced at just £2.50 for cocktail sausages and pancakes.
They also offer their popular ‘Picky Paws’ for £3.25 and picnic cars at £3.95.
The Summer Pass also entitles holders to 10% off their café prices throughout summer.
Katie says the “fantastic” team at Treehouse Softplay put “a lot of effort” into making sure their food is of the highest quality with a wide selection of diary and gluten free options available so no child feels left out.
Activities and Events
This summer the centre will be hosting a Treehouse Summer Festival consisting of a series of five events!
Starting with their Superhero Party on August 1, the centre will then continue on with ‘In My Swifty Era’ – a Taylor Swift Tribute Act – on August 2, a ‘Wicked Singalong’ on August 8, Princess Party on August 9 and an ‘Ozzy Disco’ on August 7.
For children with additional needs, Treehouse Softplay run three to four quiet sessions per week on Monday and Friday from 9am – 10am, Wednesday from 5pm – 6pm and every other Sunday from 10am to 11am.
Quiet sessions are priced at £5 for an hour and they do not request diagnosis information. Children who require a more structured and calmer environment for any reason are welcome to attend.
The quiet sessions also benefit from the weekly activities including character visits and balloon modelling etc. These sessions must be booked in advance due to a restriction on numbers.
