What parents say

HUGE indoor playground! They gave a infant section for kids 0-4 years old. The other playground is huge. It also has a trampoline park section and a crush pad section with some foam blocks on another spot. I went during their grand opening weekend and O was a bit afraid about how crowded and loud it would be.

★★★★★ — Leidy, Feb 2026

Lava Island is such a great spot for kids to burn off energy. The space is huge, with trampolines and a ton of multi-level indoor play structures where kids can crawl, climb, and explore for hours. There’s so much room to run around that it never feels cramped.

★★★★★ — Anna, Feb 2026

Beautifully done inside, a lot of fun for kids. Food is great and lots to choose from. Adults NOT need to pay if they are not going through the play area or will just be sitting. Needs more tables or a designated area where parents can sit that's not in the cafe area.

★★★★☆ — Amanda, Feb 2026

We had a great experience!! A bit pricey but it’s huge and there is so much to do! Food was delicious! We got the lava loaded fries. Best for kids 5 and above since it’s so big but there is a smaller play area for the younger kids.
