We've taken a look back through the archives to find pictures from children's play centres that are still in operation and some which are sadly missed, can you spot your favourite?
Most of these palaces of play featured equipment such as slides, ball pits and rollers, but Funtime Factory in Wymondham once held the accolade of having the country's largest karaoke machine.
There were also themed play areas such as farm-based fun at the Elephant Playbarn in Knapton and roller-skating at Funky Monkeys in Norwich.
