About Exploria
Exploria is Portsmouth's indoor soft play and bounce centre, set inside the iconic Pyramids Centre on Clarence Esplanade on the Southsea seafront. It is split into zones to suit every age: a baby and toddler zone offers age-appropriate play, mini vehicles and sensory activities for the littlest visitors, while the junior play zone steps things up with racing slides, climb challenges, ball pits and a dodgeball shoot-out. Older and more energetic children gravitate to the bounce zone, which features a battle beam, foam pits, stunt boxes and an interactive play wall, giving the venue more variety than a standard soft play. Because it sits within the seafront Pyramids complex, a visit can be combined with a walk along Southsea front. There is a cafe on site for parents and carers, and the centre runs children's birthday parties. Sessions are time-based: a one-hour baby and toddler session starts from £3.95 per person, while a one-hour session for children aged five and older is around £10.95, with family tickets available. You can walk in or book sessions online, and booking ahead is sensible during school holidays and weekends when the seafront is busy.
