"Coming from Heswall, the drive was straightforward and totally worth it – Bubbles is bigger and cleaner than any local soft play near Heswall. We parked at Marine Point and were inside within minutes!"
- Emily R.
"We took the route via M53 (Jct 2→1) & A554 to King's Parade from Heswall and were at Bubbles in about 17 minutes at 10:30am on a Saturday. So much to do for under-5s – worth the extra miles compared to smaller play cafes nearby."
- James P.
