360 Play Rushden Lakes

We are open from 10am till 6pm EVERY DAY! We open from 9:30am in February, Easter, October and Christmas holidays.

We offer a comprehensive environment where children can engage in various forms of play. Each type of play—role play, physical play, creative play, skills play and more—contributes uniquely to a child's development. These activities not only support physical health but also enhance cognitive and social skills, ensuring well-rounded growth. By providing a safe and stimulating space for play, we play a vital role in nurturing happy, healthy, and well-adjusted children. We believe that you shouldn’t have to pay extra for the facilities once you’ve paid the admission fee so ALL the indoor and outdoor play facilities are included in your entrance price with nothing extra to pay.

Water Play Area

It may be one of the most entertaining ways of cooling off on hot days, but there is much more to water play than meets the eye. A water play area, whether indoors or out, can foster cognitive development, teach mathematics and science concepts, enhance physical skills, promote social learning and cooperative effort, and enrich language experiences. In the 360 environment, all these benefits stem from the children just playing with each other or by parent-led play having fun together.

Physical Play

Explore the huge adventure play area – designed by experts and divided into specialist ability zones with play products individually selected to enhance and develop children’s motor and cognitive skills while just having fun. With games and activities to join in with, plenty of obstacles to overcome and explore and the obligatory slides and ball pits, this area will keep even the most boisterous of youngsters enthralled and entertained. It’s also a great social development area, providing an opportunity for children to learn to play and interact together. For the toddlers we have a special area not accessed through the main play frame where the little ones can learn and play in complete safety. Here they have a soft play area with mini ball pit, a sensory area and a small adventure play area.

Role Play

Developed and designed in-house, 360 Street promotes imagination, independence and creativity amongst children (and parents) of all ages. It offers opportunities for children of all abilities and backgrounds to play together in a fantastic imaginary world of role play. With specifically designed and sourced equipment the play opportunities are endless and it is a joy to watch the back to basics approach to play.

Outdoor Play

The Great Outdoors is a children’s dream, with an outdoor playframe, curly slides and challenging nets to climb, role play houses, trikes and scooters to ride and a huge landscaped sandpit this is the place for mum and dad to relax on the deck those balmy summer days while the children try new challenges and experiences. Join them in the sandpit for sandcastle building competitions and re-live those seaside memories. Active, demanding and stimulating fun in the sun.

Skills Play

By building on existing skills children increase their self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-respect. Seemingly simple construction toys and equipment provide the platform for problem solving, interaction and emotional development. Group activities provide endless opportunities for developing social skills and learning essential behaviours.

Creative Play

All those essential, messy, mucky things parents would love to have the time and inclination to do with their children, combined with singing, dancing and musical play. Something for everyone, everyday. We have activities specifically designed for our younger customers during term time, to join in with Mum or Dad and experience new sights and sounds in familiar surroundings.
