What parents say
We went to Village Play Cafe with our three year old this past Saturday, and most definitely will be back! Initially, we were concerned that they would not be accommodating to an older toddler— boy was I wrong!
This place is a breath of fresh air when your kid needs to get out of the house! The owner was very down to earth, the chai tea was delicious (not all sugar- actually real chai), there are so many toys and things for the kids to do. I was surprised at how it can actually be fun for a wide age range..
We enjoyed our visit immensely. It is evident this business has been launched with great love, by parents for parents. I loved seeing all the moms on staff baby-wearing! The layout of the interior is well planned, with so much possibility for developing and switching things up in the future.
My son and I had a great time! He is 2.5 and there was such a variety of things for him to interact/play with. He enjoyed the costumes, foam pit with the net above it, book area, the black light rooms, and the bridge between the two play structures.
