After School Eat and Play is Fun Street’s weekday offer for Glasgow families: a full soft play session plus a children’s meal for £13.99, with adults joining for £1.99. As the new term begins across Glasgow, this guide explains exactly how the deal works, what it includes and why it makes school nights easier.
1. What is After School Eat and Play at Fun Street?
After School Eat and Play is a weekday offer at Fun Street, Glasgow’s air-conditioned indoor soft play centre at Silverburn. A child’s entry plus a freshly prepared meal costs £13.99, and accompanying adults pay £1.99. Children get a full 1 hour 30 minute session with access to all play areas, then sit down to eat without anyone having to cook.
It exists because the hours between the school bell and bedtime are the hardest part of a working family’s day. Children come out of school full of leftover energy, everyone is hungry, and the kitchen is the last place most parents want to be. One booking solves all three problems at once.
2. How much does it cost, and what would you pay separately?
Standard weekday entry for a child aged 3 to 12 is £10.99, so After School Eat and Play at £13.99 effectively adds a freshly made meal for £3. For toddlers, weekday entry is £9.99, which makes the with-meal price similarly good value. Adults pay the same £1.99 weekday entry either way.
Compare that with a supermarket meal deal plus a separate activity, or the cost of an unplanned takeaway on a tired Thursday, and the maths speaks for itself. You can check current prices for every age group on our prices page before you visit.
3. Why does soft play help children unwind after school?
After six hours of sitting still, listening and following rules, children need to move before they can settle. Free, self-directed play lets them burn off the day’s leftover energy, reset socially on their own terms and arrive home calmer, fed and ready for a smoother evening.
Because Fun Street is fully climate controlled, an after-school session works in any weather Glasgow serves up, from the first mild weeks of term right through the darker months. There is no kit to pack and no pitch to stand beside in the rain. We have looked before at why soft play helps children transition from school to home, and this deal simply makes that wind-down window easier to reach.
Scotland’s only fully air-conditioned, climate-controlled soft play centre.
4. What do children actually eat? Erina’s Kitchen
The meal side of the deal comes from Erina’s Kitchen, the full-menu family restaurant inside Fun Street. Dishes are prepared by our executive chef, with options to suit children and adults, plus desserts and freshly brewed coffee for the grown-ups while the kids finish their session.
The restaurant sits close to the toddler play area, so parents of younger children can eat, have a coffee and keep an eye on the action at the same time. It is a proper sit-down meal rather than canteen food, which is exactly what most children need after a long school day.
5. How to make it work on a school night
The trick to a school-night visit is keeping the evening’s jobs in the right order: play first, food second, then home with nothing left to do but the bedtime routine. Fun Street is open until 6pm on weekdays, so an after-pickup session fits neatly before a sensible bedtime.
If homework is part of your evening, a session here first helps: children concentrate better once they have moved, eaten and reset. Our guide to creating the perfect after-school routine covers how to balance homework and play across the week.

6. Planning your visit from the school run
Fun Street is on the upper level at Silverburn, Barrhead Road, Glasgow G53 6AG, with free parking and easy reach from the Southside, East Kilbride, Paisley and the West End. Our how to get there guide covers routes and transport options. Weekday afternoons are calmer than weekends, which is part of what makes the after-school window such a pleasant time to visit.
Sessions last 1 hour 30 minutes and cover every zone, including our storybook-inspired soft play frames, separate toddler areas and the augmented reality zone. The whole centre is air conditioned and sensory friendly, with gentle scent diffusers and calm corners for children who need a breather.
Fun Street welcomes children from babies right up to age 12, so the deal works whether you are collecting one child or shepherding a whole crew of siblings. If your school finishes early on a Friday, that afternoon is a lovely quiet window too.
Frequently asked questions
How much does After School Eat and Play cost?
The weekday deal is £13.99 for a child’s play session with a meal included, and £1.99 for each accompanying adult. Standard weekday entry without the meal is £10.99 for children aged 3 to 12 and £9.99 for toddlers, so the meal adds very little to the cost of the visit.
Which days does the deal run?
After School Eat and Play is a weekday offer, Monday to Friday. Fun Street is open every day from 10am to 6pm, and current pricing for every session type is always listed on our prices page.
Is it suitable for toddlers as well as school-age children?
Yes. Fun Street is designed for children up to 12, with dedicated toddler zones separate from the areas used by bigger, faster children. Younger siblings tagging along on the school run get their own safe space to play.
Do parents need to book in advance?
You are welcome to turn up on the day, though booking ahead guarantees your spot and speeds up arrival when you have hungry children in tow. Parties and private hire should always be booked in advance.
What is there for parents to do during the session?
Erina’s Kitchen serves freshly brewed coffee, meals and desserts for adults too, and the seating near the toddler area means you can relax while staying close to younger children. Many parents use the 90 minutes to catch up on messages or simply sit down for the first time all day.
