About Fun HQ Cardiff
Fun HQ Cardiff is an indoor soft play and climbing centre in the Cardiff International Sports Village in Cardiff Bay, with its entrance between the Cardiff International Ice Skating Club and the Cardiff International Pool and Gym on Olympian Drive. The main attraction is the Active Play Zone, a vibrant soft play area set across three floors for children aged eleven and under, where little ones can slide, jump and swing, with an optional Vertical Drop Slide for a bigger thrill. Alongside the soft play is Wales' first Clip 'n Climb arena, offering a range of colourful climbing challenges suitable for ages four and up, making it a good choice for mixed-age families and older children who want more of a challenge. Parents and carers can relax in the on-site Fun HQ Kitchen cafe, which serves hot meals, cold snacks and refreshing drinks. Party packages are available with dedicated party space for birthday celebrations. Opening hours are longer at weekends and in school holidays, with shorter weekday hours in term time, so it is worth checking the website or social media for the most up-to-date times before travelling. Admission to the Active Play Zone starts low for toddlers and a little more for older children, with off-peak rates on quieter days. There is parking at the Sports Village.
