Area 51 Soft Play

Area 51 is an indoor soft play centre in Neath, designed to make children stop in their tracks the moment they walk through the door. Catering for ages 0 to 11, it has wavy and spiral slides, tunnels, splat pads and a rocket feature that genuinely sets it apart from a standard play frame.

The centre is split to cater for different ages, with plenty to explore across the levels. There is a relaxed seating area for parents to chat and unwind while keeping an eye on the little ones, making it as comfortable for adults as it is fun for children.

The Moon Rock Café serves a wide menu of snacks, meals and drinks throughout the day, including cosmic breakfasts served all day and a great range of quality coffees and hot chocolates. Free Wi-Fi is available and connects automatically on return visits. You can check their food hygiene rating before you visit using the button on this page.

Area 51 offers great value for regular visitors with annual passes and monthly term time passes available, making it a smart option if you plan to visit regularly. Two adults per booking get in free, with additional adults charged at £1.99.

Birthday parties are available and Area 51 promises an out of this world celebration. Contact them directly to book.

Heads up, opening hours can change for exclusive party bookings so always check their Facebook page for the latest times before visiting.
