What parents say
I took my three kids (ages 10, 7 and 2.5) on a Friday and they had a blast! Because of the age range it can be hard to find things they all like, and I was worried it would be “too much” for my youngest, but she had so much fun!
Great local place for kids of all ages to burn off energy. I'm so happy to have a place like this nearby and not have to travel to Des Moines! I enjoy that it had one entrance and exit to help make sure kids weren't just leaving(except all of mine didn't want to leave ever.
This was so fun! I laughed more with my kids than we have in a long time. I brought the two littles on a weekday morning and immediately knew we needed to come back with the big brother and dad. We have three sons ranging from 2 to 9 years old. Family fun night here was a blast!
We had a great time at Ames Play Yard! We brought 6 kids, ages 8-11 and all of them loved it! There’s plenty of places to climb and explore. Everyone loved being able to switch between the playground and also using the basketball court.
