What parents say
My family absolutely loves Giggles & Grounds. We have been at least once weekly since they opened and always have a great experience. The classes are so much fun! My 2.5 year old loves the Sensory Art Exploration class and I appreciate the free story times to squeeze in some reading during play!
Working mom’s dream! My toddler loved this! I was able to focus on work while she played happily within sight. So clean, friendly owner, and overall awesome experience. I will absolutely be back!
Wonderful concept and well executed!! The coffee is great, and the customer service is outstanding! If you have little kids 6 and under, the play cafe is a must!!! I’ll be going back!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this play center! My twin boys had an absolute blast, and we signed up for an unlimited membership right away. The space is spotless, the staff is so welcoming, and even the coffee is excellent. It’s a place that both kids and parents can truly enjoy.
