What's inside
“My best friend told me about this play cafe, we live in raytown and often drive to overland park during the week to play at another cafe.”
What parents highlight
“There was plenty of seating and space for adults with and without kids to mingle, clean, open spaces for a variety of play styles and shelves full of books to encourage literacy.”
“We have really struggled finding a cool place that caters to my child’s age (not a toddler) and has imaginative play.”
“We recently hosted our daughter’s third birthday party at Paperback Playhouse and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish.”

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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
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).
