This is the best theatre for toddlers by far in London. We have been probably to another 10 theatre, but the atmosphere and quality of Unicorn Theatre is incomparable. Additionally, it is great that it is in Southbank!
I like the Unicorn Theatre because it is really child freindly and the shows are brilliant If there is one thing I could change it would be the size of the theater because it is quite small and can only fit about 30 people.
I attended The Baby Show with my 10 month old son and it was a magical experience. Well written, acted and directed - it's the first time I've seen a group of 6-18month children captivated for 30 mins.
The Unicorn theatre is a designed for children and is a great facility. Healthy snacks are available and handrails at different levels.
A real community asset.
It was our first time at the Unicorn theatre but it definitely won't be our last it was a lovely experience. Children really enjoyed amazing plays with such meaning at the core sparked off very intellectual conversations between the children and i all the way home!!! The bee in me was super emotion captivating and very cleverly done
I took my kids there and they loved it! Its an amazing spot, I highly recommend it!
Maggot Moon excellent performance and really enjoyable well done to the 2 actors. Amazing
Wonderful experience for children as well as adults.
This is an amazing children's theatre! Staff is very much family friendly and very patient. The play we've been to was for 1 year olds. The audience was captured for the whole play time of 40 minutes. There are plenty of other shows for older kids. We are definitely going to be regulars.
Took our 6 month old to the Baby Show. Overall it was a worthwhile experience.
Wow! This is a fantastic, purpose-built space for kids theatre. We saw a play there, and the kids were mesmerised. We're certainly going to go again!
Excellent acting, set, atmosphere, theatre and staff.
Excellent range of children's plays. Welcoming atmosphere.
Lovely theatre. The Iron Man got mixed reviews but was brilliant and fairly reasonably priced.
really amazing experience. wasn t expecting that much from the theatre because it was targeted towards kids but i saw the show maggot moon and it was fantastic and really well done. the set was really interesting and the set up was quite unique there wasn t really anything that i would change except for the ages of the actors bc they just seemed too old to be playing 15 year olds
School trip to watch the production of some of Anansi stories. The staff were so considerate and waited for us to arrive before starting the show as we were running late. They also gave us space for the children to have their lunch and provided an alternative for a pupil who had yoghurts but did not have a spoon for it.
Thank you Unicorn Theatre.
Lovely theatre and thank you for the Sign Language Integrated Performance - we are Deaf and really benefit from this. Thank you
Lovely venue for a play, near London Bridge station. The bench seating is unique.
Nice theatre. Seating a little unconventional but comfortable. The play we saw was excellent.
Fun activities with kids, the plays are a bit quirky and asser educational. The children enjoyed
Great plays for the kids and small enough for them to feel pary of the story.
Brought tickets for a show aimed at 2-5yr olds. My 2.5yr old feel asleep just before arriving. Fast asleep. I was really disappointed to discover no leniency in these scenarios. Anyone with a toddler knows you can never completely tell what More
I went to the Baby Show with my 6 month old. It s the best thing we ve done together. He was so engaged with the show and giggling though it all! I will definitely go back
Great family friendly theatre. We watched a magical performance of The Velveteen Rabbit. Loved the fact that we weren't bombarded with merchandising on the way out either.
Great place for the kids to come for a day out. The shows are of consistently high quality.
Love this theater. Every production I have seen there has been excellent and has always been enjoyable for both adults and kids
Great traditional African storytelling with a but of a modern slant.
Great little theatre. Very reasonably priced cafe. Theatre seats not too comfy though!
Great, intimate little theatre. Thoroughly enjoyed their recent production of Othello for ongoing people.
very nice little theatre. saw adler & gibb on September 2016
It is a really fun place with great actors- I would recommend it to any schools or people with their children
Love the lovely theatre
Family friendly
Very easy to use
Wherever you sit you have a great view
Take the children
Great theatre experience for younger children . The school really enjoyed the performance.
Wonderful, entertaining and original performances for children and adults. Highly professional. Good environment. Inexpensive cafe.
Amazing, friendly venue. Fantastic shows for children
Quite a long way from the station and no signage in Tooley Street (I walked straight passed) leaves you feeling disoriented. The foyer is large but the bar is tiny and has very little choice, one white wine (I hate Sauvignon Blanc) which wasn't in the fridge. Opted for the cider this wasn't chilled enough. The seats are really uncomfortable in the auditorium and it's incredibly stuffy as there isn't air conditioning. I saw the play "The End Of Eddy" - quite good but would have preferred less of the 3rd person story telling. Great performances by the 2 actors. Hated the bright lights on the audience.
Went to the baby show with our 13 month old - he was transfixed throughout. Highly recommended.
Went there with our 8 year old and we loved the place. The seating is fantastic with enough height from one row to the next that children can see perfect well, even if an adult seats in front of them. The staff are very nice and helpful.
Very helpful staff. We've been to a few performances and they are always excellent.
Small but interesting place, lots of unconventional plays.
Not convinced by the Unicorn, always feels like a show in a shopping mall. It's a peculiar place for a children's theatre, nor am I massively convinced by recent programming.
Good restaurants and great place to visit with family
We had an amazing afternoon there with the baby show. The staff is super caring and knowledgeable. Will come back again next year!
Absolutely love the unicron theatre. They do amazing camps for teenagers.
This show Anansi was great and our grandson (4) was rapt.
I attended a tour here on one of the open London days. A delightful tour by the wonderful architect, even to to roof.
Located in a very nice neighborhood - a very inspiring space to convene!
Very cool modern theatre tucked away in a quiet corner of Southwark that stages plays for and also created by kids. The Quentin Blake murals everywhere and brightly coloured seating in the foyer cafe make this a cute, welcoming place - although the cafe's offering is tiny and they don't take credit cards. Our sold-out performance of Fringe First winner Monkey Bars was pretty good - and the enthusiastic kids in the audience were a welcome change from the slightly stuffy rep plays have. I'll be back to take my friend's kids to an Xmas show!
Lovely little theatre with excellent productions and workshops for children.
Place for young audiences and ideal if you are in the area. Seems a okay place. Recommend
I love this place, the shows are always thought provoking and interesting, a friendly atmosphere, toys and books to entertain kids, nice cakes etc.
The staff are nice and friendly and the show was great.
A fabulous theatre. Small and intimate this theatre always hits the mark with the quality of the shows, actors, content of plays, dialogue and atmosphere. For those new to theatre it's a great starters venue. I saw Pizza Shop heroes and the cast were generous with their time after the play concluded.
Fantastic afternoon out great production, however may want to ditch the use of the school bell :)
Very nice multi-purpose theatre for kids. Came here for activities once and for a play another time. A coffee is also available on-site.
It is a theater space with adolescents as the main service object. It is very convenient for people to access and the space is simple and comfortable. Close to the train station, subway station, and a market that is 10 minutes walk away. If you walk to the river bank for 10-15 minutes, you can reach the Tower Bridge. It is an area where you can enjoy a whole day from morning to night by watching performances and walking along the coast.
Great venue! 2nd visit.. not a bad seat in the house.
This theatre has children and families in mind. How refreshing! It caters for all needs.
Highly recommended for parents with young kids. Make sure to check the target age for the show before you book.
Lovely theatre. Friendly staff. Accessible throughout with lifts to every level. Excellent design so you can see the stage wherever you sit.
Great place - brought a bunch of young people and the staff was very lovely. I love the mission of this place and I would recommend it to everyone.
A fantastic venue with an excellent programme and tremendous performances.
It is let down by a limited cafe with a small range of well designed yet somehow unappealing packaged snacks. Also the atrium /ticket hall is austere and oddly dull. That said, the staff were charming and friendly and informed.
My main concern was the appropriateness of the content. The performance of Maggot Moon was brilliant but I would caution the 9+ age rating. It was certainly for teenagers and above.
Baddies excellent show, terrific voices as the little boy behind said ' made your feet dance'.
Lovely venue - Enjoyed a friend taking part in a play very entertaining.
Grimm tales. Excellent acting, set, atmosphere, theatre and staff. My daughter loved it. Thanks.
We went for children s show Sea Saw and the kids really enjoyed it. The story is was very engaging, well played by professional actors. It s very good form of entertainment for smaller theatre connoisseurs .
Truly our favorite theater in London! Amazing & wonderful performances. Kids and adults of all ages will love it here.
