Laughing Ducks Soft Play

Laughing Ducks Soft Play is a family-owned indoor play center located in Coldstream in the Scottish Borders. The venue features a castle-themed play structure for older children, an interactive toddler area designed specifically for younger visitors, and electric go-karts for more adventurous play. The purpose-built facility opened in February 2020 after seven years of planning and development.

A standout feature of the venue is its bespoke sensory room, which includes two distinct feature walls – a vibrant Rainbow Wall and a calming Night Ocean Wall with various textures and lighting effects. The room is equipped with fiber-optic ceiling lights, shower harnesses, sensory toys, and even has a cotton candy scent feature. Dedicated "Little Ducklings" sessions run every Tuesday and Thursday for children aged 0-4, providing a safe environment specifically for babies and toddlers.

The center offers a café with table service serving freshly prepared food, with gluten-free and vegan options available. Birthday party packages include exclusive use of a party room, decorations, and food options with capacity for up to 20 children. Booking is recommended, particularly for weekend visits and essential for afternoon sessions. A membership scheme is available for regular visitors, offering unlimited admission to standard play sessions.

Laughing Ducks Soft Play is well-suited for families with children from infancy to 12 years old, particularly those seeking varied play experiences in one location. The sensory room makes the venue appropriate for children with additional needs, while the separate toddler area ensures younger visitors have age-appropriate play spaces.
