Indoor Adventure Play For All Ages
For all-weather fun, take time out in our Indoor Playbarn, Nottinghamshire's LARGEST indoor play centre!
Children will love climbing aboard the pirate ship, discovering the secret rooms in the spooky castle, riding on the pedal-karts and playing football.
Our multi-level indoor adventure play area is suitable for all ages, with soft play equipment, three huge slides and fun ball cannons, along with a dedicated role play area and soft play for under fives. Socks must be worn at all times.
Also for our younger visitors, there is a dedicated carpeted area in the centre of the Playbarn, with toys especially for under fours. Socks must be worn at all times.
The Indoor Playbarn and The Laughing Donkey Cafe are open daily from 10am to 4.45pm. Socks must be worn at all times.
Jenny & Jack's Indoor Adventure has been part-funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas.
A day in the countryside
Children will love our two outdoor playgrounds and the 25 acres of wide open spaces, safe for little ones to run around and explore.
Why not treat yourself to lunch in either Antlers Bistro or the Laughing Donkey Cafe. Or, if you'd like to bring a picnic, you'll find lots of picnic benches around the farm, as well as by the indoor adventure play area (not in the Cafe though please).
You'll find us in East Leake, which is easily accessible from Nottingham, Leicester and Derby - LE12 6LU.
