Q: Is Ferdi's Indoor Play the same as Flambards Theme Park?

No. Flambards Theme Park - the rides, Victorian Village and Britain in the Blitz experience - permanently closed in November 2024. Ferdi's Indoor Play was previously just one attraction within the larger Flambards site, and continues to operate independently at the same Clodgey Lane address under its own name.

Ferdi's Indoor Play was previously just one attraction within the wider Flambards Theme Park site. Flambards itself - the rides, the Victorian Village and the Britain in the Blitz experience - permanently closed in November 2024, but Ferdi's Indoor Play has continued to operate at the same address under its own name. See our Flambards page for the history of the site and what happened to the wider theme park.

Ferdi's Indoor Play is a family-friendly indoor soft play centre in Helston, offering a safe, all-weather space for children to burn off energy while parents relax with a coffee nearby. The main play area features a multi-level play frame with slides, a ball pit and climbing elements designed to help children develop coordination, balance and confidence.

Younger visitors are looked after in a dedicated Toddler Zone for under-2s, kitted out with age-appropriate soft play equipment away from the busier main frame. Older children can also enjoy Mini Street, a role-play area with pretend shops and activities that encourage imaginative, cooperative play.

An on-site cafe, set in a conservatory, serves hot and cold food and drinks with free WiFi, giving parents and carers a comfortable spot to watch over the play areas. Ferdi's Indoor Play also hosts birthday parties, with packages that include exclusive use of party space, a dedicated host and food.
