360 Play Milton Keynes is an indoor family entertainment centre and children's party venue on Roebuck Way, Knowlhill, and one of seven 360 Play centres in the UK. It is built for children aged 0–12; 13- to 17-year-olds are welcome at their own rate and must be accompanied by an adult. The centre is open every day from 10.00am to 6.00pm, opening at 9.30am during the February, October and Christmas school holidays and at 11.00am on New Year's Day, and is closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Play is not time-restricted — families can stay as long as they like — and the venue states there is a good amount of free parking on and around the site. The centre is cashless. Its own contact details for Milton Keynes are 01908 308360 and miltonkeynes@360play.co.uk.
Play areas at a 360 Play centre include a large adventure play frame divided into ability zones with slides and ball pits; a separate toddler area with its own soft play, mini ball pit and sensory space, reached without going through the main frame; 360 Street, an in-house designed role-play area; a creative messy play area; outdoor play with an outdoor playframe, curly slides, climbing nets, role-play houses, trikes and scooters and a landscaped sandpit; and a water play area, which the venue offers everywhere except Farnborough and Redditch. There are rides including a dodgem track, with height restrictions signed at each ride. Socks must be worn on the play frames by children and adults and are sold on site. An on-site café bar serves children's and adults' menus and caters for a range of dietary requirements; outside food and drink are not permitted.
One further package is advertised that is not listed above: the Make a Bear Party, which 360 Play describes as 15 minutes of bear making, 80 minutes of play and 40 minutes in the party area, with a party host and party food, on Saturdays, Sundays and school holidays at 4.00pm. It publishes no price and no guest numbers for it, and notes that those slots can host more than one party so the party area is not exclusive to yours. The Classic Celebration Bundle is also sold at a higher peak rate for Fridays, weekends and school holidays, which the venue does not publish.
Each booking is given a designated celebration area, and packages that include a Party Host get someone to greet guests, issue coloured wristbands and show the children around. Two adults per party are free of charge and further adults are £3.95; children under 12 months are free but are not given a seat at the party table. The venue does not allow early access to decorate, because party areas are in constant use with a short turnaround between bookings. Under the UK Food Information Amendment (Natasha's Law) any birthday cake brought in must be shop-bought or made by a reputable baker who can supply allergen information — homemade cakes are not permitted.
General play admission at Milton Keynes is published: ages 1–3 £13.95 off-peak and £14.95 peak, ages 4–12 £15.95 and £16.95, ages 13–17 £8.95 and £9.95, and adults £6.95 and £7.95, plus a £1.95 booking fee per booking. Under-1s are free but must still be booked in. After-school prices apply after 3pm Monday to Friday in term time, and a Play and Eat deal combines entry with a child's hot meal.
Spaces
- Classic Celebration Bundle (Off-Peak) — £130
360 Play's standard birthday party package, in its off-peak version — the same bundle is sold at a higher peak rate for weekends and school holidays. £130 covers 15 children.
Each booking is given a designated celebration area with a Party Host, who greets your guests, issues coloured wristbands and shows the children around; play in the centre itself is not time-restricted. Two adults per party are free of charge and any further adults are £3.95 each. Children under 12 months are free but are not given a seat at the party table. Optional extras are an activity party bag at £3.95 per child, and for the adults a panini platter at £19.95, a pizza bundle at £22.95 or a hot drinks tray at £9.95.
Two things worth knowing when you book. The venue does not allow early access to decorate, because party areas are in constant use with a short turnaround between bookings. And under the UK Food Information Amendment (Natasha's Law) any birthday cake brought in must be shop-bought or made by a reputable baker who can supply allergen information — homemade cakes are not permitted.
On the price: 360 Play does not publish party prices on its website, which states that prices are available on the booking journey. The £130 for 15 children shown here was quoted by the venue directly rather than taken from its site, so please confirm it, and which dates count as off-peak, when you book.
- Class Afterschool Party — £299
An after-school party for a whole class: 90 minutes of play followed by 30 minutes in 360 Play's premium party seating, with a personal party host.
The package covers 25 children and 25 adults and includes 25 party plates. Further plates can be bought, additional children are £10 each up to a maximum of five, and adults beyond the 25 included are £3.95 each.
360 Play states this package runs Monday to Friday, and gives its availability as 1 September to 23 October 2026 — so check with the centre that it is still running before you book.
On the price: £299.00 is the venue's own figure, stated as "All Included in one package price". It is a price for the whole party rather than a per-child rate, which is why it is shown here as one amount for the event.
- Exclusive Party — Price on application
Exclusive evening hire of the whole centre, which 360 Play offers from 6.30pm to 8.30pm every day for up to 100 guests, adults or children. The venue asks that the party is child-focused rather than just adults. Three hire options are offered: Great Green, Big Blue and Mega Purple.
On the price: 360 Play publishes no price for exclusive hire, so it is quoted on enquiry. The figures it does state are £5.50 per person for parties above 100 guests, and £175 per hour for one additional hour, which it offers on the Great Green and Big Blue options only.
The centre's general terms still apply: two adults per party are free and further adults are £3.95, children under 12 months are free but are not given a seat at the party table, no early access is given to decorate, and any cake brought in must be shop-bought or from a baker who can supply allergen information.
