Louth was crying out for somewhere like this, and Quackers has filled the market gap with style. It’s a soft play centre, but it’s so much more than that — it also hosts toddler groups, does great kids’ parties, has the BEST coffee and snacks on sale and big squashy leather sofas for mums to lounge about on. It’s a perfect size — not so big that you lose sight of your children, but not so small that older children don’t get any fun out of it. In fact, school-age children love it, and there’s also a baby/toddler room for the littlies. There are trampolines, big slides, tunnel slides and climbing ropes, plus a mini football pitch. Oh, and books to read and a dressing-up box! Prices are reasonable and you can pay for everything(including food, drink and snacks) at the end as you leave, which is very convenient. I’d like to specially highlight the fact that the food at Quackers is very healthy — party food includes carrot and cucumber sticks with hummus, and snacks range from jacket potatotes to wholemeal sandwiches(although white ones are available too). It’s little extra touches like this that make Quackers worth visiting regularly.
