Traveling with young children often means frequent pit stops, which can sometimes feel tedious and challenging. Thankfully, I’ve discovered the ideal spot to break up long journeys: Jolly Jumpers, a vibrant soft play centre located just minutes from junction 24 of the M5 in Bridgwater.
Situated on Market Way, Jolly Jumpers is housed within a large industrial-style unit, a common setting for many such venues. Inside, you’ll find a spacious warehouse divided into several engaging areas. There’s a dedicated baby zone for the little ones, a massive ball pool, a soft play area, and multiple bouncy inflatables that keep children entertained for hours.
The centre also features a reasonably priced café offering quality food. During our visit, my companion and I enjoyed delicious jacket potatoes, while the kids happily munched on classic chicken nuggets and sausages, perfect for young appetites.

Admission is affordable too—just under £12 for an adult and a child—allowing families to stay and play for over an hour at a comfortable pace. With an average Google rating of 4.2 based on hundreds of reviews, Jolly Jumpers has earned a strong reputation among locals and visitors alike.
One satisfied grandparent shared, “I’ve taken my grandchildren to Jolly Jumpers several times. Endless fun for all ages. The children just don’t want to leave! The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great, and there are allergy-friendly options. It’s perfect for birthday parties too, with affordable lunch boxes and great facilities.”
Another visitor praised the relaxed atmosphere, saying, “On a busy bank holiday morning, I went straight in without a wait. My kids ran around for three hours while I got some work done online thanks to the free Wi-Fi. The coffee was surprisingly good as well.”
If you’re traveling the M5 and need a vibrant, safe, and welcoming place to let your children expend their energy, Jolly Jumpers is the perfect pit stop.
