Kids Factory / Brackenfell

This facility offers young families a quality indoor play park, with jungle gyms, soft contained play structures, slides, and imagination-inspiring play areas for children ages 1 to 10. Although it’s not a huge place, your kids will find everything that’s important to them!

You can bring along your toddlers and drop them off at the cute toddler area where you’ll find play kitchens, a tiny trampoline, a mini soft play structure with slides and climbing areas. There are also a lot of toys to play with and even scooters to cruise around with.

For the bigger kids, they have an amazing jungle gym structure with 4 large slides, a ball pit with a climbing wall, a ninja course and trampolines.

Children are only allowed to play in grip socks. You can either buy them for R35 per pair or bring your own from home if you happen to already have grip socks.

There are quite a lot of friendly child minders, too. They are called the “Marshalls” and make sure that your kids can play safely and won’t hurt themselves. They are constantly watching out for the little ones, so that the parents can sit back and relax and the seating area right next to the play area. So you can always watch your children play while you have some food and drinks from the kiosk. They have the regular things on the menu and you and your kids can choose from various kiddies meals, pizzas, burgers, schnitzels and toasties. You can find the full menu here: MENU

Hint: Every Friday, they run a Playtime and Burger Special where you get unlimited playtime for R100 per child and a burger with chips and onion rings for only R60 (between 17:00 – 20:00).

When the weather permits, the kids can also play in the generous outside area with swings, a pool and large jungle gym.

Our Experience

Compared to other playparks the facility is rather basic, but non-the-less lots of fun for younger children. My kids prefer that place over Playalot, for example, as it is less crowded, less noisy and just as much fun! There are quite a lot of child minders watching out for the kids and they are really helpful for the little ones. It was a bit cold during out stay (we visited in August) and the food was not great, but OK. Grip socks are compulsory and you can get them for R35 per pair. But the good thing is that you can bring your own grip socks from home and you don’t have to buy their specific ones. You also get free WIFI.

    • Hi, I would assume that almost any indoor play park can accomodate that many children if you make a booking well in advance. I would suggest to pick a few favourite venues and contact them directly with your inquiry. They will be able to assist and give you pricing information. We are not associated with any of the venues on our website.

      • Good day

        Me together with my family and kids visited the factory on today 7 July 23 for the first time.

        the kids had an amazing time at the play area. the only problem we had was that the service was not as great , we first ordered and almost had to wait an hour for our food…when our food eventually arrived we didn’t have plates to plate our pizza and other stuff…as where the people who sat behind us had better service then what we had …before there food arrived side plates and everything was ready for them.
        I definitely will visit the factory again just want to let you guys know to treat everyone the same.

        thanks
