Entry to Grass Hoppers is an access all areas pass to play on all play equipment inside and outside, the only exception being the coin-operated racing cars in Blaze's race track and mini diggers. In adverse weather conditions, for health and safety regulations, we reserve the right to close attractions or the outside playground.
On a peak day playtime, we operate playtime sessions. Peak days are at weekends, Bank Holidays and weekdays during the school holidays. Given our location, it's good to know we include the school holidays and term times of the four local boroughs in our area, namely Leeds, Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale.
A "peak" day playtime session will last two and a quarter hours on all peak days except on Sundays, when they will be slightly shorter due to Sunday trading laws imposed on the garden centre. At the end of each peak day playtime session, we will close for 30 minutes to get all the areas of Grass Hoppers, the toilets and restaurant ready for our next guests.
On "off peak play" play days, that is to say term time weekdays, we offer one playtime session with no specified start or end time, so capacity will be managed on an ongoing basis throughout the day.
You can book onto one of these time slots in advance to secure your space on your chosen session. Because we want to ensure all our customers have a great time, we suggest you arrive in good time for the start of a peak day playtime session and ask that you exit the play area promptly at the end of your booking to allow our team to fully clean and prep the area for our next session.
When you buy a ticket online you'll receive an order confirmation by email that includes your unique Booking Reference Number and a barcode. You can then either print this ticket, or use your smart phone to present the bar code for scanning to permit entry to Grass Hoppers. If neither of these options are available, please make a note of your booking number so we can enter it into our system to find your booking.
Tickets are only valid on the play date and playtime session that they were purchased for. You can transfer your booking to another date and/or time 24 hours in advance by contacting Grass Hoppers on 0113 285 9750. Refunds cannot be offered in the event of non-attendance for any missed bookings.

You are welcome to pre-book onto multiple timed sessions per day, however all customers will need to exit Grass Hoppers at the end of each timed session so our team can clean and fully prepare the play area for the next session.

Grass Hoppers is a family attraction so we have massively improved our facilities and created a supersized changing room called The Pod with changing rooms and baby changing. In addition, and based on your valuable feedback, you'll also find we've added lots more toilets located inside, all in addition to the toilets already located in the outdoor playground. What's more, we've introduced a mother and baby feeding zone.
