About Captain Ted's
Captain Ted's is a pirate-themed indoor soft play centre in a converted old church hall on West Avenue in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. It is built around a multi-level soft play frame for older children, with a separate cushioned play area set aside for babies and toddlers so the youngest visitors have a safe, gentler space of their own. Soft play sessions run for up to two hours and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with a cafe where parents and carers can grab a coffee and reserved seating while the children play. The centre opens daily from the morning until mid-afternoon, with cheaper admission on term-time weekdays and higher prices at weekends and in school holidays; under-ones pay a reduced rate. Families can book a session online in advance or walk in when there is space. Captain Ted's also hosts birthday parties, from per-child packages to private takeover hire of the whole centre, and there is parking on site and nearby. Indoors and warm whatever the weather, it is a well-liked rainy-day option for families in Gosforth and across Newcastle.
