What parents say
I found this to be perfect for kids through age 5-6. Each area is small and enclosed that allows for young kids to play without feeling overwhelmed. There is a cafe area for parents to hang out that contains video feed of the different zones so you can watch your kids while you chill.
Beautiful and clean place. Perfect spot for little kids as well as toddlers. They also have great menu for kids and adults. Their chicken fingers and mac and cheese are the best.
The good: it’s a decent indoor soft play with nice staffs and lots of options for different interests. You can almost certainly find a spot for your kids. The not so great: no batteries in any of the toys which is frustrating when kids want to smash them buttons and piano keys.
We had a play date here! We were so incredibly happy with the cleanliness, the activities available, and how baby and toddler oriented it was. My 11 month old had an amazing time! The bubble tea was pretty good as well! We went on a Monday early afternoon. Grateful I know this place exists. A hidden gem for sure.
