What parents say
We recently hosted my toddler’s third birthday party at Busy Bee Play Cafe, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the moment I booked, the staff was incredibly communicative—providing all the information I needed well in advance.
I took my 7-year-old daughter and her friend to Busy Bee Café on a cold Saturday afternoon. They had fun, but I’d say they’re just on the verge of being a little too old for it. Most of the toys and play areas are definitely geared more toward toddlers.
We love Busy Bee Play Cafe! We first heard about it through Ashley (Ms Ashley's Music Circle) and another friend. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves it there! She loves the climbing gym, the bounce section, the dramatic play area, the quiet room, and the pillows in the book area.
Lots of little details make thus place special. I always saw someone cleaning. Customer service was great. The kids kept themselves busy and had a fun time with their friends. Coffee was nice. Bonus points because of the emergency items in the bathrooms if the kiddo were to have an accident. A++ will be back again.
