‘Something unique that’s amazingly good fun’
A world of imagination is delighting kids and wowing parents.
Finding the perfect activity for little kids that delivers on imagination, fun and creativity - but also makes the adults feel relaxed, rewarded and nourished by coffee and cake - is a sure fire winner.
Now a husband-and-wife team – and busy parents of two little boys – have created their own business delivering just that.
Marnie and Gavin Waller have created Wonder – A World of Imagination, an inclusive and accessible adventure zone in Havant with 11 themes to explore.
Whether your little ones love pirates or dinosaurs, astronauts, superheroes or hospitals, firefighting or building sites,eachofthethemesoffers high quality role play and imaginative fun.

‘We love it when we see parents and carers joining in the fun and doing role play with the kids. That way everyone gets to enjoy the visit.'
