The Secret Garden is a welcoming indoor soft play centre in Horbury, designed with families in mind. With separate areas catering to different age groups, it's easy for siblings of varying ages to play together while parents keep a watchful eye. The venue operates a timed booking system to manage capacity, meaning you won't find yourself in an overcrowded space. There's a cafe serving food and drinks, making it a great spot for a morning or afternoon out during the school holidays or weekends.
Facilities
What to bring
- Clean socks for your children to wear in the play areas
- A change of clothes, especially for younger children or those who get very active
- A small bag with snacks and a water bottle to keep energy levels up between meals
- Wipes or hand sanitiser to freshen up before eating at the cafe

Top tips
- Book your timed slot in advance to guarantee your visit time and avoid disappointment, especially during school holidays and weekends.
- Arrive a few minutes early to allow time for changing into socks and getting settled before your slot begins.
- Take advantage of the multi-age areas so younger and older siblings can play together. Parents can supervise from seating areas while enjoying a hot drink from the cafe.
- Check the cleanliness and facilities when you arrive, particularly the toilets and baby-change areas, and don't hesitate to speak to staff if you notice any issues.
- Consider going during quieter times mid-week if possible, as this tends to be less crowded and may be a more relaxed experience.
