Funky Funhouse

Until relatively recently, Cambridge was not well served for indoor play areas for kids — the nearest place used to be Planet Zoom in Ely whose facilities were fairly limited.
Then, like the proverbial buses, a couple of places came along at once — Cheeky Monkeys’ Playbarn and Funky Funhouse.
Funky Funhouse has a lot going for it — it’s big, has lots of slides & swings etc, as well as separate areas for younger ones, plenty of space for adults to sit down and serves food and drinks for those that want.
It is also easily accessible by car and conveniently located just outside the centre of Cambridge.
Downsides? None really. Prices (both for entry and refreshments) are reasonable, the toilets are clean and they do not allow the place to get overcrowded.
The only mildly annoying things are:
— kids are more likely to pick up some kind of bug after visiting, but that’s just a fact of life
— occasionally (especially on a wet weekend), you have to queue to get in, but again that’s just a sign of how popular and successful it is
Other than that, it just makes entertaing the kids a whole lot easier — they also do birthday parties for those of us who cannot face the idea of having our homes invaded by large numbers of over-​excitable little monsters who have drunk too much orange squash.
