About Anchors Away Play
Anchors Away Play is an independent indoor soft play centre on Simonsway in Wythenshawe, South Manchester, close to Junction 4 of the M56 and Manchester Airport. It is built around one of the larger, more challenging play frames in the region, with the centre split into two separate zones so that young babies and toddlers can play safely apart from bigger, more energetic children. The frames offer the usual soft play favourites including slides, tunnels, ball pits and climbing obstacles, with children catered for from tiny babies right up to the age of eleven. Parents can relax in the on-site family-friendly eatery, which overlooks the play areas, while little ones burn off energy. The venue also has party hire rooms for birthday celebrations and offers ample free parking on site, making it a practical rainy-day option for families across Wythenshawe, Manchester and the surrounding Cheshire areas. Toilets with baby changing are available, and admission is kept low with discounts for booking in advance.
