🌊 Under the Sea Messy Play Session

 Designed for children aged 6 months to 5 years and 11 months, this ocean-inspired session invites your little one to explore a magical underwater world through messy play, themed crafts, and hands-on discovery.

From jellyfish spaghetti to sandy seabeds, bubbling water trays and glittery coral reefs, each sensory tray is carefully planned to stimulate the senses and spark creativity. Your child might meet playful dolphins, splash with starfish, or even discover hidden treasure — all while developing motor skills and having loads of fun.

Sessions last 1 hour and include plenty of time to explore at their own pace. Alongside our six themed activity trays, children can get creative at the paint station and enjoy a themed craft, colouring sheet, or similar hands-on activity at our dedicated craft and colouring table to take home — all rounded off with a playful group finale filled with bubbles and foam.

As always, we take care of the clean-up — so you can relax and enjoy the moment. Just bring a towel, a spare change of clothes, and your sense of adventure.

We also offer discounted sibling tickets for brothers and sisters UTS25siblingdisc. Please note that using this code does come with terms and conditions which you can find here.

Whether it’s their first time or they’re a seasoned Messy Monkey Maker, your child is sure to have a whale of a time!

Event FAQs
What is a messy play session?
A messy play session is a structured activity designed for children to explore and interact with various sensory materials such as sand, water, paint, and other textures in a safe environment. These sessions encourage creativity, motor skill development, and sensory exploration while providing a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to join in and share the fun.We do ask that parents and guardians actively supervise their children during the session to ensure everyone's safety. Our staff are on hand to facilitate the activities and are first-aid trained, so you can feel confident that support is available if needed. Together, we create a welcoming and enjoyable space where everyone can make memories and build stronger bonds through play.
What should I bring to a messy play session?
You should bring: A spare set of clothes for your child. A towel or wipes for clean-up. A bag to carry any soiled items. Comfortable clothes for yourself in case you get messy too.
Are messy play sessions safe for children?
Yes, messy play sessions are designed with safety in mind. All materials used are child-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for skin contact. We provide signs with every activity to inform you if an activity is 'taste-safe' so that you can have peace of mind around our activities. We are also always on hand and continually communicate with parents throughout the session to ensure safety during activities.
What if my child has allergies or sensitivities?
Before attending, be sure to inform us about your child's allergies or sensitivities. We include a form in our confirmation email that allows you to disclose allergies along with the name(s) of the attendee(s).
Can I book multiple children for one session?
Absolutely! When booking, please provide the full name(s) of all children who will be attending. This helps us prepare for each attendee and maintain a safe, organized session. We also offer a sibling discount code, which is always available and can be found in the description of the event.
