What parents highlight
“It was very clean and the staff seem to really enjoy their jobs, diligently helping with the multitude of requests kids can have with the art studio and slime station.”
“My 2 year old loved the remote controlled construction trucks and play kitchen, but they also have ball pits, slides, sensory play, a Lego table and so much more.”
“The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly.”
“Plan on staying a while because there is so much to do.”
“I especially appreciated the comfortable seating areas for parents and the overall welcoming atmosphere.”
What parents say
I debated writing this review for selfish reasons - this place is so great that I almost wanted to keep it a secret! Even though it’s out of the way from where I live, it was 100% worth the drive. There’s no time limit, the facility is extremely clean, and there is plenty of seating for parents.
Took my 18-month-old and she was entertained for 2 hours! She actually didn’t want to leave, but it was her nap time. Everything was clean, and the staff was constantly organizing and keeping things tidy. It’s the best indoor playground I’ve been to — such a calm vibe, and I loved that.
If you haven’t tried the newest indoor playground in santee you MUST VISIT! We had the BEST experience here! As a mom of multiple kids, I’ve been to a lot of indoor play spaces, and this one is truly something special.
I am so amazed with this indoor Playground Museum. As a mother of 4 with kids between the ages of 3yrs and 11yrs old it is the Perfect place to bring your children, family, and friends. My kids are always asking me to take them to the Playground and when I do, it's always a good time from start to finish.
