Tumbles Soft Play at Portobello has reopened after a refurbishment programme to transform the venue into a dynamic new world of adventure called Explorer Island.

The reopening was marked with a special celebration attended by friends, family, and the 15 winners of a recent photo competition.

The young adventurers were treated to an exclusive party, complete with fun activities, party bags, and the honour of being the first to explore the reimagined play space.

As part of the festivities, the Tumbles team selected 15 “Star Guests”- children from different age groups – who joined characters Emma, Fox, and Squirrel on their first expedition through the upgraded soft play environment.

Ashliegh Murray, Manager at Tumbles, said: “Our Explorer Island is a whole world of fun – an island where anything is possible, and adventure awaits.

“We’re so excited to welcome families back to a space that’s been designed to spark imagination, creativity, and active play.”

The refurbishment is part of Edinburgh Leisure’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, inclusive spaces for children and families, and the space now includes:

  • New light and video features in the baby and toddler zones
  • A reconfigured layout for enhanced play experiences
  • Upgraded versions of favourite features
  • Extended café seating with fixed options
  • New flooring throughout the soft play and café areas
  • A refreshed reception area
  • A redecorated birthday party room for the return of celebration packages

Tumbles is one of three soft play centres operated by Edinburgh Leisure, the council-owned charity which works to provide everyone in the city with access to more active, healthy lives. With more than 30 facilities across Edinburgh, the organisation continues to invest in spaces that inspire movement, imagination, and community connection.

Open seven days a week from 9.15am – 5.00pm, Tumbles offers wonderful adventures for kids aged 0 – 10 with designated baby, toddler and junior play areas.
