The Fun Jungle
Indoor soft play centre on Sulgrave Road, Washington, for children up to 12, with multi-tier play frames, separate baby, toddler and junior zones, a food menu and party rooms.
About The Fun Jungle
The Fun Jungle is an independent indoor play centre on Sulgrave Road in Washington, open every day from 9.30am to 7pm for children from birth to 12 years. The main play frame is a multi-tier structure, and the space is divided into separate zones for babies, toddlers and older juniors, so younger children have somewhere quieter to play away from the bigger climbers.
As well as the play frame there are electric ride-on bikes and an aqua blaster area. Parents can sit and watch from the seating area, where a food menu covers meals, snacks and drinks. The centre has party rooms and runs children's birthday party packages. It is a short drive from the A1231 and A194(M), and is an option for families in Washington, Sunderland and the Gateshead side alike. Current prices and party details are on the Fun Jungle website.
