Buttercups softplay & children's parties in Otley


"Having fun is the most important part of life."


As someone who spends a lot of time with children and parents, I absolutley love this place! I go their to meet up for coffees with clients, I hold mini photoshoots there Summer & Christmas time and the kids absolutley love it!!!!


So here's a few details about Buttercups Soft Play Centre, it is located in Otley next to Beech Hill car park and is the place to be in Otley if you have children ages 0 to 7!

They are a family started and family run business who really care for the families of Otley! Customers describe their soft play as the “hub of Otley” and a“safe place” for families to come relax and have a cuppa whilst their children are playing. Entry prices start at £3.50 for children that are crawling and childminders/ foster carers, for children that are walking its £5 and adults are not charged for. They also don’t do session times so there is no limit on how long you can stay and play, you can stay all day if you really want to… amazing I know!’ 


They are open Monday to Friday for people to come along and let their children explore our little kingdom of fun! Offering delicious prepared to order food and home made cakes, not to mention the incredible selection of hot and cold drinks. The staff are always so friendly and helpful from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, always keeping the place clean and tidy and being mindful of children’s needs, allergies and safety. During term time in the winter months they offer an After School Meal Deal which is £7.50 per child from 3pm - 6pm (times and days may vary so always check their Facebook page or give them a call), this price includes the child’s entry (normally £5), a meal of their choice from the children’s menu, unlimited juice and ice cream or pancakes for their dessert… so an amazing deal really! 


On weekends they hold lots of birthday parties and even won the 2024 Mumbler award for best party provider! If you’re wanting an easy and stress free party you need to choose Buttercups! The price per child is £13.50 per child with a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 35 children, this cost includes 2 hours exclusive use to the soft play centre, party food for the children (allergies and dietary requirements can be catered to), party bags and cake bags for each child (if you wish for us to, the cake that you provide will be cut up and bagged after happy birthday has been sung), unlimited juice/ water for the children and a themed party table(we will theme it as best we can to what your little one likes, whether that’s a particular colour theme or anything from dinosaurs to mermaids, we will do our best to make it look lovely). The best part is that all you have to do on the day is bring the cake and they sort the rest! Parties

Speaking of parties, they also offer Pamper/ Spa parties (£15 per child with a requirement of 12 children only) which are a huge hit with the slightly older children (aged 5-7) as they have a mini pamper session with foot baths, silk robes, glitter tattoos, face masks and fingernail painting… honestly what more could a 6 year old possibly need! 


So if you’re looking for a fun filled day or the perfect party then Buttercups is the place for you! If you’re wanting to visit please pop them a message (on 07398 852516) or give them a call (on 01943968600) ahead of your visit to check availability! If they have space they will save you a table, if not then they will message you back when they have some availability!


I will also be holding some Summer themed mini photoshoots for children at Buttercups this August and Christmas themed photoshoots in Novemeber, these are always very popular so make sure you bokk your slot early to ensure you get some fabulous photos of your little one. You also get a discounted entry fee to Buttercups on those days too, so grab a bargain.


Honestly I've spoken to many mums over the years and so many of them who live in Otley or outside of Otley (they will travel quite a distance just to get to visit this place) would'nt be without this amazing place, so get yourself there.
