Ball pit near Brentwood
If you are searching from Brentwood, this is the practical answer.
A pit this size means the surface is never the same twice. Every scoop leaves a dent and every dent changes where the next one goes.
Families around Brentwood who have done it once tend to plan the second visit differently: shorter, earlier in the day, and with the machine the child liked in mind.
Getting there
Balls behave like a liquid until they do not. Dig a hole and the sides slump back in, which is exactly the physics children spend twenty minutes exploring without calling it physics.
Count on the drive home being the conversation. Children tell you what they actually thought about twenty minutes after leaving.
What you will find
The crate the machines dig in is a proper ball pit - a deep bed of plastic balls, not a token layer over a hard floor. It is what makes a scoop worth watching.
The colour is half the appeal. A bucket coming up full is a bucket full of red, yellow, blue and green, and it photographs well from the rail.
How long to allow
For younger visitors the pit alone is the attraction. Some never touch a machine and leave perfectly happy.
A short visit that ends while they still want more beats a long one that ends in a meltdown, every time.

Questions parents ask
How deep is the pit?
Deep enough for a bucket to disappear into it - the machines dig rather than skim.
Do children go into the pit themselves?
The machines work the crate from the rail. Follow the instructions the staff give on the day.

Planning your visit in Brentwood
From Brentwood the practical question is timing rather than distance. Arriving in the first hour after opening is worth more than shaving minutes off the drive.
Go early if the choice is available. The first hour after opening is quieter than any hour that follows it, and quieter is easier for everybody.
Decide how long you are staying before you walk in. A visit with an end time attached to it finishes on a good note rather than a tired one.
Weekends bring more of Brentwood out at once. If the schedule allows a weekday, take it; the same visit is quieter and the machines wait for nobody in particular.
