Fun Street is about 10 to 15 minutes by car from Paisley, on the upper level of Silverburn Shopping Centre at Barrhead Road, Glasgow G53 6AG, just off the M77. Parking is free. That is the whole answer to the question most Paisley parents are actually asking.
The rest of this guide is the detail that decides whether the trip is worth making on a particular day: what a session costs on a Wednesday against a Saturday, which zones suit which age, what the party packages include, and the one thing about this building that no other soft play in Scotland can claim.
Getting here from Paisley
Silverburn sits just off the M77, which is what makes the run from Paisley short and predictable rather than a crawl through town. Around 10 to 15 minutes by car from most of Paisley, and the car park is free, which quietly matters when you are already paying for a play session and a coffee. Fun Street is on the upper level of the centre, so head up rather than looking for it among the shops. Full directions, including the public transport options, are on the How to Get There page.
What a session is, and what it costs
A session is one hour and thirty minutes and it covers everything: the soft play, the toddler areas, the themed frame and the storybook playhouses. There is no add-on pricing per zone. Ages run from 0 to 12.
Prices are per person and they change between weekdays and weekends, which is the single most useful thing to know before you set off:
| Who | Weekday | Weekend |
|---|---|---|
| Adults, 13 and over | £1.99 | £2.99 |
| Baby under 6 months | £1.99 | £2.99 |
| Infant, 6 to 12 months | £5.99 | £7.99 |
| Toddler, 13 to 35 months | £9.99 | £14.99 |
| Child, 3 to 12 years | £10.99 | £15.99 |
| After School Eat and Play, weekdays | Adult £1.99, child with meal £13.99 | Weekdays only |
The full list, along with the Fun Pass, is on the prices page. Booking ahead is sensible on a weekend or in the school holidays, and essential for parties.
The weekday and weekend gap, and what to do about it
Look at that table again. A three year old is £10.99 on a Wednesday and £15.99 on a Saturday. Two children and one adult come to £23.97 midweek and £34.97 at the weekend. Over a term of fortnightly visits that difference is real money.
Our advice to Paisley families, and it is the same advice we give people who live five minutes away: if you have a preschooler and any flexibility at all, come on a weekday morning. It is cheaper, the frame is quieter, and a toddler who is not being climbed over by ten year olds has a better time. Save the weekend for when the older ones are off school and want the busy version.
Scotland’s only fully air conditioned, climate controlled soft play centre.
Which zones suit which age
The pricing tiers are a good map of how the building is organised, because the zones really are separated by size rather than everyone sharing one frame.
Babies, under 12 months
Padded, low level and kept apart from the running about. A baby under six months is £1.99 on a weekday, which is the same as an adult, so if you are coming with an older child anyway the baby’s ticket costs roughly what a coffee does. Our separate guide, soft play for babies in Glasgow, covers what to bring and how to time a first visit around a nap.
Toddlers, 13 to 35 months
The toddler zone is the reason a lot of Renfrewshire families make this their regular. Soft shapes, ball pits and gentle slides, with sight lines from the cafe seating so you are not chasing round a frame with a cold drink in your hand.
Children, 3 to 12
The themed frame and the storybook playhouses. This is where the ninety minutes goes fast. Older children at the top of the age range tend to get the most out of a busier weekend session, when there are others their size to chase.
The air conditioning is not a detail
Every soft play in Scotland is warm. This one is climate controlled throughout, and it is the only fully air conditioned soft play centre in the country.
If you have never thought about that, it sounds like a footnote. If you have ever carried a red faced, overheated three year old out of a play frame twenty minutes into a session you paid for, it is the whole thing. It also matters for children who find heat and noise difficult: the temperature is steady, and scent diffusers keep the air from developing that particular soft play smell. There is more on the sensory side in our guide for families with additional support needs.
Parties: the five packages and what each includes
Parties are booked in advance and priced per child. Every package includes play time plus thirty minutes in a private party room, a hot and cold buffet, unlimited diluting juice, Fun Street invitations and party bags. What changes is how much is done for you.
| Package | Per child | Play time | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruby | £19.50 | 90 minutes | Buffet, choose 4 options. Standard party bags. Balloons and decorations added separately |
| Gold | £23.50 | 90 minutes | Choose 5 buffet items, premium party bags, balloons and decorations in the room, tier 1 decoration package |
| Diamond | £26.50 | 90 minutes | Choose 6 items, face painting, 2 adult platters, tier 1 decoration package |
| Platinum | £29.50 | 120 minutes | Choose 7 items, ice cream pots or slushies, face painting or glitter tattoos, 2 adult platters, tier 2 decorations, and a personalised banner for 15 children or more |
| Build Your Own | From £21 | Agreed with you | A consultation, a custom menu, your own colour scheme, and entertainment of your choice |
A designated party host runs Ruby, Gold and Diamond, which is the part parents underestimate. Somebody else does the games, the food and the clearing up. Our parties page has the full inclusions, and our birthday party guide works through choosing between them.
Where we would put your money: Gold is the one most families should book. Ruby looks cheaper until you buy the balloons and decorations separately, at which point the gap closes. Platinum earns its price when the guest list is fifteen or more, because the extra thirty minutes of play and the personalised banner both start to count.
Private hire for the whole venue
Exclusive use of Fun Street runs for two hours and covers the themed play areas and Erina’s Kitchen, for up to 40 children and 40 adults, with personalised decorations and catering. It suits a large family party, a christening or a nursery group better than a standard package does, and it is the option that removes the one variable you cannot control at a soft play, which is everybody else. Details on the private hire page and in our private hire guide.
Erina’s Kitchen and the after school deal
Erina’s Kitchen is the on-site family cafe: freshly made meals, barista coffee, allergy friendly and vegetarian options, and seating with a view of the play areas so you are not craning your neck.
The one to know about during term time is After School Eat and Play, weekdays only: £1.99 for an adult and £13.99 for a child with a meal included. For a Paisley family who would otherwise be cooking at half five after a twenty minute drive home, that is a straight swap rather than an extra. More on the food in our Erina’s Kitchen guide.
Is it worth leaving Paisley for?
not always, and we would rather say so.
If you have one child under a year old and half an hour to fill, a local baby group is a better use of your morning than a drive and a ninety minute session. If your child is twelve and tall, they are at the top of our age range and will get more out of a trampoline park.
Where the trip pays for itself is the situations Paisley parents actually face. A wet Saturday with two children of different ages who need different things. A birthday party where you want somebody else to run it. A hot afternoon in July when everywhere else is stifling. A child who finds noise and heat hard and needs somewhere predictable. Fifteen minutes is a small price for solving any of those.

What age is Fun Street for?
Ages 0 to 12. Babies and toddlers have their own separated padded zones with ball pits and gentle slides, away from the older children, and there is a themed frame and storybook playhouses for the 3 to 12 age group.
Is Fun Street air conditioned?
Yes. It is Scotland’s only fully air conditioned, climate controlled soft play centre. The temperature stays steady across the whole building, which makes a real difference on a summer afternoon and for children who find heat and noise difficult.
How much is a birthday party?
Packages are per child: Ruby £19.50, Gold £23.50, Diamond £26.50 and Platinum £29.50, with Build Your Own from £21. Ruby, Gold and Diamond include 90 minutes of play plus 30 minutes in a private party room.

Is there somewhere for parents to eat?
Erina’s Kitchen is the on-site family cafe, serving freshly made meals, barista coffee and sweet treats with allergy friendly and vegetarian options. On weekdays the After School Eat and Play deal is £1.99 for an adult and £13.99 for a child with a meal.
What should we bring?
Socks for everyone going into the play areas, and a change of clothes for younger children. Everything else, including food and drink, is available on site.
Is it suitable for a child with additional support needs?
Many families tell us it is, largely because of the climate control and the separated zones. The air conditioning keeps the temperature predictable and scent diffusers help with the smell. Weekday mornings are the quietest time to visit, and our guide for families with additional support needs covers what to expect in more detail.
