The Giggles: A Fresh New Chapter for Luton’s Soft Play Centre

Active Luton is delighted to announce that we will be taking over the operation of Luton’s soft play centre - formerly known as Futures Fun Factory - as we prepare to reopen it this December under a brand new name: The Giggles.

The centre is temporarily closed while we carry out refurbishments to improve the space and customer experience.

When it reopens on 8th December, you can expect a brighter, cleaner and more welcoming environment - complete with new play equipment, an improved under-5s area, and a refreshed look and feel. We’re also introducing anew website and online booking system, making it easier than ever for people to plan their visit or book a party.

While the layout will remain familiar, the changes will make a big difference to the experience. We’ll be removing the old drop slide and replacing it with two new slides. The centre will also undergo a deep clean and redecoration, responding directly to feedback from customers who wanted a cleaner, fresher space for their children to enjoy.

As with all of Active Luton’s venues, visitors can expect high standards of cleanliness, great customer service, value-for-money and a safe, well-managed environment.

More than just play

At Active Luton, we know that play is far more than just fun and games - it’s essential to children’s growth and development. Active, imaginative play helps children build strength, coordination, and balance, while also nurturing confidence, creativity, and social skills. Through play, children learn to take turns, share, negotiate, and build friendships - skills that last a lifetime.

By providing a safe and enriching space for families, The Giggles supports Active Luton’s mission to improve the health and wellbeing of our community. It also contributes to the Luton 2040 vision of a child-friendly town, helping to give local children the best start in life.

Working with local partners

We’re delighted to be partnering with Café 1 who will provide food and drinks for visitors, as well as catering for our new and improved party packages - more details coming soon!

An exciting new start

We’re investing over £80,000 in this project to make sure The Giggles offers a fun, high-quality soft play experience that the community can trust and enjoy.
