360 Play Milton Keynes

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.
