Mini Monsters Cafe in Milton Keynes

Hired the venue exclusively for my daughter's birthday. Was such a hit with all the kids. Beth was very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely book again!

Twice I had to be disappointed in this room on a birthday party. The service is awful! The staff did not bring the cake on time, so you will not eat the cake and will not blow the candle. At least blew out the candles, at the very request, but brought them quickly, didn’t even have time for the kids to gather at the table everyone, didn’t manage to sing for the birthday! If you order them as an animator, the suit is torn, could not come, or will come around the table, wake up and leave without even saying anything!!!!!

We decided to use Mini Monsters for our son 4th birthday party, booking was easy, received a phone call the week of the party to confirm numbers and food allergies.Arrived on the day, it was clean, staff were friendly and very helpful. My son and his friends absolutely loved it.

I booked a 2 hour session for me and a friend and our 2 babies. It’s very cheap (£3.50 on weekdays) for an adult and 6-11 month old. But there isn’t actually anything for the babies to do so the price isn’t really justified. You’re paying to get a table in a cafe really, which makes it actually expensive.There is a small soft matted area which I assume is for babies but there was a couple of small play cubes in it and a couple of light up tiles on the floor, one of which was broken and that was it. It was also really dirty. There were gummy sweets on the floor in that part. My little one was a bit sick and I cleaned it up, but the cloth picked up a lot of dirt from on and between the soft mats in the baby area. It was pretty grim so we just sat at the table after that. There was a little area next to the baby area with a couple more bits, possibly suited for toddlers I guess but not a lot here either.The cafe offerings are nice enough and averagely priced. Baby changing area was good too. Seating area was clean and they had high chairs available. The big play area looks good for the money and would entertain children for the 2 hours. If our little ones were older (3+) then it would probably be pretty good. It’s a lot smaller than the big play centres but it’s reflected in the price. Unfortunately as there was nothing for babies / under 1’s and it wasn’t clean in the baby area that’s the reason for the 3 stars.I dislike charging adults anyway but every play centre seems to do this. I know the need for booking them for numbers, but we’ll be spending money on coffee/cake already. I do think under 2’s should be made free if there continues to be nothing for them.

This was my granddaughter's first experience of a soft play venue. It took her a while to warm up to it. She is 14 months but still not walking. It would have been nice to have had some ordinary toys for her to play with as well as the soft play items. We will bring her again next time she visits from Reading. Mum is already searching for soft plays near to where she lives.

Nice soft play but it’s very small so kids get bored quickly but it’s okay for a quick 2h session, not sure why adults have to pay considering all they will do is just sit in the cafe area and spend more money to buy drinks and snacks. Ended up spending over £15 on coffees and snacks so maybe consider removing the adult charge because next time I come there I won’t be spending a penny in the coffee shop if I’m going to pay a pointless entry fee so for that reason I give it a 3 star

Would've given it 5 stars if the caffè had actual food! Not so big as a place which was ideal for us. All the way through visible. We had a 3 and 5 years old. Our son is autistic so we prefer places we can keep an eye one him. And this was perfect. I really truly believe they should do proper food rather than only crisps. Even if that was only sandwiches or paninis. We went at lunch time and all we could give the kids was crisps. This would be OK if their policy didn't say that you can only consume what they sell. This I found a bit tight considering what they offer. Price wise, it was reasonable but I found out that becoming a member would save you some money. So if you are local, then definitly would go for that option, but do eat something before you go!

It is a nice place to spend afternoon. Unlike 360 it is much quieter and less crowded. As a parent I can better supervise my child there. Staff is friendly and helpful. I only put 4 stars as there is no allocated parking and outside area. Still definitely recommend for toddlers and preschool age kids.

Nice small place more suitable for smaller children. You, and the staff, can see virtually everywhere from anywhere so no fear of losing anyone... Although it looks as though they have recently had some new netting and pole-padding added, the place could do with a bit of a spring clean! The top of the pink pads by the slide for example are thick with dust and the floor is ketchup-sticky. The male toilet didn't have any soap in the dispenser although plenty of mains cables hanging from the ceiling (out of reach to small children but a tease to larger kids?). The food was okay but not brilliant and not "too" expensive although the drinks were quite expensive. - All reduced sugar drinks though :-) The staff wearn't the usual very friendly people you'd expect from places like this... The most serious and worrying problem I encountered there though, was that the very large window next to the dirty pink bouncy castle was unlocked (no lock available) and can easily be opened fully, exposing a signifactnt drop to ground level outside onto hard slabs by the bins!!! (The play area is on the First Floor). An older child could easily open this and fall out when leaning out to have a look or a small child could easily be thrown out of it...

We went today 3 kids. Initially we had to queue for a long time as there was only 1 computer to register people in. Nevertheless, the staff were patient and friendly.The play area itself is smaller than the other centres but it was clean, fresh and new. We took advantage of the 'eat and play for free' scheme, which was well worth it. The food was hot and came promptly.The only negative was the prices of the other food. Which came to be quite expensive.Overall, a good visit. Parents are free after school too. Parking is mostly free. Lovely cust9mer service too.
