Hundreds of parents have criticised a popular garden centre near Bristol for the "ridiculous" price it is charging for its new play centre. When Cadbury Garden Centre posted prices for its Treehouse indoor playground on Facebook last week, it was flooded with complaints from angry parents.
Many parents said the prices would prevent them from bringing their children to the soft play or using the garden centre altogether because the prices were unaffordable. One mum, Emily Thomas, told Bristol Live that parents and children will miss out on benefitting from the facility "because of how ridiculously priced they’ve made it".
For children over five, a two-hour session will cost £9.50, with children under five charged £8.50. On weekends and during school holidays, this price increases by £1. Adults have to pay an additional £2 for entry on weekdays, or £2.50 on weekends and school holidays.
