1st Base - Baseball Entertainment Centre

From 8 to 80 — 1st Base is where every generation of your family can have fun together. We’re the UK’s first interactive baseball experience, and we’ve built our venue to deliver laughs, energy and competition that everyone can enjoy.

Your group will take turns batting real balls in our immersive baseball cage, while scores and hits are tracked in real time. Then, explore the rest of the bar with access to ping-pong, foosball, shuffleboard, and basketball — all included in your session.

Whether you're planning a birthday, a half-term day out, or just want a weekend activity that works for teens and grandparents, 1st Base has you covered. We serve family favourites like pizza and hot dogs, and we’ve got plenty of seating for breaks between games.

You don’t need to be sporty — just ready to have a go! Come see why we’re rated 5 stars on TripAdvisor by families across the South.

At 1st Base, we’re proud to offer something genuinely different — the UK’s first interactive baseball experience, right here in the heart of Southampton. While most family attractions revolve around soft play or the same old indoor activities, we’ve built something high-energy, inclusive, and totally unique.

Our main feature is a state-of-the-art batting cage, where real baseballs are pitched at you and your hits are tracked on a virtual stadium screen. It’s exciting, fast-paced, and suitable for anyone aged 8 and up — no prior experience needed. But what truly sets us apart is the combination of immersive sport, bar-style games, and brilliant food and drink options all under one roof.

When you’re not swinging, your session also includes access to ping-pong, foosball, basketball and shuffleboard — giving every group member something to enjoy. We serve pizzas, jumbo hot dogs and family-friendly drinks, so parents can relax while the kids burn off energy.

We’re not just another day out — we’re a place where families, friends, and groups of all kinds come to try something new, laugh hard, and leave with a story to tell. That’s what makes 1st Base different.

At 1st Base, kids don’t just play — they get in the game! Whether it’s their first time holding a baseball bat or they’re already little sluggers, kids, teens and adults alike absolutely love our interactive batting cage experience. Real baseballs are pitched at them, and their hits are tracked live on a massive virtual stadium screen — it’s fun, fast, and feels like stepping into a video game they can actually be part of.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Our venue is packed with arcade-style fun including ping-pong, foosball, basketball hoops, and shuffleboard, all included in every session. Kids get to run around, challenge their siblings or parents, and try a bunch of different games — no waiting around or getting bored.

It’s perfect for energetic kids who love movement, games, and friendly competition. And parents love that it’s all indoors, all in one place, and keeps kids engaged from start to finish. Whether it’s a birthday party, a half-term treat, or a rainy weekend outing, 1st Base is always a hit (literally). It’s active, exciting, and totally different — that’s why kids can’t get enough of it!
