Macaroni Penguin

From the moment I walked into Macaroni Penguin Battersea Power Station, it felt like a breath of fresh air — quite literally (I’m convinced it’s thanks to their top-quality dehumidifier!). The atmosphere was instantly welcoming, and the staff truly made the experience stand out. I was greeted by Sofia and her fantastic colleague, and I was genuinely amazed by how attentive she was — especially as the owner. That level of care and involvement is rare and really shows in how smoothly everything runs. Entry was simple, straightforward, and stress-free. One thing that really impressed me was the cleanliness policy: all guests, whether heading to the soft play or just dining, were asked to remove their shoes. At first, I was surprised — but it completely made sense. I wore white socks, and by the time I left, they were still spotless, like they’d just come out of the wash! The space is incredibly well-maintained, with plenty of toys to keep little ones aged 0–6 happily entertained. On top of that, the food and coffee were absolutely delicious. Overall, this was such an amazing find for an Easter holiday day out. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommended! 谢谢

Amazing Kids Play Area with a Nice Café! This place is a fantastic spot for kids! The play area is super fun, clean, and full of different activities that keep children entertained for hours. It’s well-organized and safe, which gave me peace of mind while the kids played. What I also loved is the café inside — they serve great coffee and even have bubble tea (boba), which was a nice surprise! It’s the perfect place to relax while watching the little ones have fun. Definitely recommend it for families looking for a fun and comfortable place to spend time.

Absolutely amazing kids soft play! We come here every week. Stands out versus other soft play centres: the variety of toys and activities, a place for adults to sit and relax (and enjoy some amazing teas!) and most important of all it’s very clean - so important when it comes to your kids. The team led by Sophia are all very welcoming and lovely. Would highly recommend to all parents!

I don’t normally leave reviews but this was one of the best soft play experiences we’ve been to! The staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The facilities are great, super clean, great for a variety of ages and everything felt so well thought out. We honestly loved our experience and can’t wait to come back again! Also the teas are amazing, would definitely recommend booking a play session with your little one.

Infant and Toddler play space 🐧👶 This is the second Macaroni Penguin I’ve attended, the first being Royal Wharf when it first opened. I’m really glad to see they have opened a venue in the West. The materials are new. It’s clean. They have great facilities and tables to sit down. I would say it’s not for bigger children. Which I personally love, because it means there’s a great space for infants and toddlers to enjoy. The sessions are an hour long and they offer multiple during the day, with half hour between to clean up before the next session. I also don’t think there is anything wrong with the price. If you don’t like the peak price, don’t come in during peak. I think the £10 for an hour session for off peak is great. Is it the biggest soft play/play cafe, no. But they don’t claim to be. But it’s perfect for my crawling toddler. I do agree with another review that the music is way too loud. It would be great if it was half the volume. Or just pumped into the restaurant and not the whole building. It can get a little overwhelming with parents talking, kids playing and the music really loud. Sometimes it’s at the right level, other days it just takes over the space. Especially when it’s empty and not needed loud. Overall we have been multiple times now. My toddler loves it so we will keep coming back. It definitely more fun when it’s quieter, and sometimes it’s luck of the draw with the numbers. I will say I won’t come during school holidays as it’s too busy, but during term time it’s great for my crawling toddler to burn some energy. It’s located in the ground floor of the river side of the power station. The lift to the right of the river entrance will take you straight down. (Photos taken pre Christmas 2024)
