1 Quietest Times
Aim for the first hour after opening on weekdays during term time. It's often much calmer before school groups or the lunchtime rush arrive.
2 Best View Seating
For keeping an eye on toddlers, grab a table near the dedicated Under 5s zone fence. For older kids, the elevated seating near the cafe offers a wider view of the main frame.
3 Parent Perk
Don't struggle with cold baby food! Staff at the cafe are usually happy to warm milk or baby food you've brought from home if you ask.
INSIDER TIP
Ask at the reception desk if they have any 'Play Explorer' colouring sheets available – sometimes they keep a small stash for kids needing a quiet five minutes.
