Days Out Ripon and Nidderdale

The Laughing Giraffe is a friendly and welcoming indoor play centre, offering active and engaging play. It’s an exciting and secure environment where children can develop skills through play. They can interact with other children, become confident in climbing, exploring and developing their independence, but most importantly there is lots of fun to be had! Our facilities suit children aged roughly 0-11. The centre is owned and run by a mum of 5 children, who understands the importance of a safe play environment, but also how much parents deserve a rest! To that end, we offer great hot drinks, lovely cakes and a wide range of snacks and meals. Allergies and dietary preferences are no problem for us, and we pride ourselves on always being able to provide an alternative option.  

We run fabulous children’s birthday parties which are much in demand – often booking up months ahead! There are different options available depending on the size of party you want so check out the website for more information.  

Booking is essential as we are a smaller centre with a limited number of tables. We also have the option to pay for access to our new sensory room – this needs to be done when booking as its very popular!
