What parents say

The Paperback Playhouse is a MUST visit! Every single detail was thought of. We love a no-shoe policy and the peace of mind that it gives knowing our kids are playing in a clean environment. My oldest is 6 years old and has pretty much outgrown other local play places.

We booked my daughter’s birthday party here, and it was so perfect! Sam, the owner, was so helpful with the set up and even helped with the things I forgot, like napkins. She also helped welcome all our guests and get their waivers taken care of so I could enjoy the party.

★★★★★ — Amy, Oct 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We hosted our son’s birthday party at The Paperback Playhouse in Blue Springs, MO, and it was absolutely wonderful! The owner, Sam, made everything so easy and completely stress-free — which was especially appreciated since we live out of state.

★★★★★ — Kadie, Oct 2025

We went today with my kids great grandmother and cousins. They had an absolute blast. My daughter has autism and it is so hard to find places for her to play that aren’t obscenely loud or stressful. This place is very mellow, calming, and clean. The prices are fantastic (we live in Colorado but my family is here).
