Fort Fun is a Wild West-themed indoor soft play on Eastbourne's Royal Parade, with a multi-level frame of slides, ball pits, net walks and tunnels. Under 1s and under 3s have their own areas, and there is no need to book, which makes it handy for a wet weekend by the sea.

Highlights

  • Separate areas for under 1s and under 3s
  • Hungry Cowboy's Café with pizzas, paninis and children's meals
  • Wild West birthday parties, with exclusive hire available
  • Events through the year

Good to know

  • Open Friday to Sunday only
  • Just turn up; there is no booking for general play
