Soft play centre software with booking and ticketing
Omni-Play is soft play centre software with a booking system and ticketing built in. You sell timed play sessions against a capacity cap, book parties with deposits, run memberships, and collect waivers from one browser-based system. Every feature comes in one published monthly price.
A soft play ticketing system built on sessions
Toddlers don’t stay all day, and a flat admission price ignores that. Omni-Play lets you sell a scoped play session as its own ticket, with its own length and capacity, next to a plain all-day pass. Timed entry is a toggle on each product, so you pick which tickets run on the clock.
Parents can come in free with a paying child. You turn that on for each admission and set how many adults it covers, and any extra adult pays the adult price. The admissions register applies member pricing and group codes, such as one for a parent-group meetup, without manual math.
A soft play booking system for parties and private hire
The party booking wizard takes a booking from event type to date, guest, headcount, add-ons, and deposit, and it checks the room live so two parties can’t claim it. Party-only items, such as a food package, can stay off your register grid and still sell with every party.
For private hire, an event type can close the venue. While that booking runs, no day passes or other events sell for its window. You write each event type’s deposit policy once, and when a booking cancels, Omni-Play forfeits, refunds, or converts the deposit to store credit.
How Omni-Play compares with LilYPad and other soft play systems
LilYPad is an indoor playground specialist with a low published entry price. A third-party listing puts it at $99 per user per month, so the bill grows with each front-desk login, and online party booking is a separate priced add-on. A reviewer notes that its support isn’t available on weekends. ROLLER doesn’t publish prices and sets some features above its base tier.
Omni-Play charges $149 or $249 a month for unlimited devices and staff, includes online party booking, and runs support seven days a week. At a single login, LilYPad’s listed price is lower. The LilYPad switching guide covers when staying is the right call.
Soft play centre software for regulars
Soft play runs on families who come back. Memberships cover one child or the whole household and renew monthly through Stripe. A loyalty card rewards repeat visits: every qualifying check-in adds a stamp, and the stamps you choose unlock a reward, such as a free admission, that the cashier applies at checkout.
The register also prompts the upsell at the right moment: a birthday-window popup when a child’s birthday is near, and a membership offer once a non-member family crosses your visit threshold. Digital waivers attach to each guest, so a returning family doesn’t sign again until their waiver expires.
Omni-Play runs in any browser on a tablet, laptop, or touchscreen, with nothing to install. Compare it with a playground specialist in the Omni-Play and LilYPad comparison, or book a demo of a full soft play session day.

FAQ
Questions about soft play booking and ticketing
- What is a soft play booking system?
- It’s the software a soft play centre uses to sell play sessions and book parties. A good one sells each session against a capacity limit, takes party deposits, and stops a room from double-booking. Omni-Play does this on one register, and party bookings, admissions, and memberships all share the same guest record and capacity numbers.
- How much does soft play centre software cost?
- Omni-Play publishes its price for soft play centres: $149 a month on the Founding Member plan, which is open to the first 5 venues and locks the rate for 12 months, and $249 a month on the Standard plan. Both plans include every feature and unlimited devices and registers. Founding Members pay no setup or onboarding fee.
- Can parents get in free with a paying child?
- Yes. Turn on Adults are free with a paying child for each admission or ticketed event, and set the number of free adults per booking. A booking with at least one paying child admits that many adults free, and every other adult pays the adult price. The register and the online shop apply the same rule.
- Can we run private hire in a soft play centre?
- Yes. Mark an event type as closing the venue, and while a booking of that type runs, nothing else sells for its window: no other event and no day pass, at the desk or online. Staff and shoppers each see why. The deposit policy for that event type runs on its own if the booking cancels.
- Does Omni-Play reward families who visit often?
- Yes, in two ways. A loyalty card adds a stamp on every qualifying check-in, and the stamps you choose unlock a reward, such as a free admission or money off, that the cashier applies at checkout. Separately, the membership-offer prompt suggests a membership to a non-member family once they cross your visit threshold.
- How does Omni-Play compare with LilYPad for a soft play centre?
- LilYPad lists at $99 per user per month, so it costs less at one login and more as the desk grows. Omni-Play is a flat $149 or $249 a month for unlimited devices and staff, with deposit-backed party booking, a store-credit ledger, and support on weekends. LilYPad has a QuickBooks integration that Omni-Play doesn’t; Omni-Play exports CSV. See the full comparison.
- What should I ask a soft play software vendor about support?
- Ask when a person answers and how that covers your busiest day. Soft play peaks on weekends, so a weekday-only line leaves the hardest shift unsupported. Omni-Play’s support runs seven days a week, including weekends.
