Took our 3 year old son here on a weekday during the school year and spent maybe 2 or 3 hours here…read more During that time maybe 3 other groups came and went. One of the male workers was really sweet to our son and our son immediately became attached to him. The worker literally played with him for about 20 minutes before his shift ended. I'm telling you, it was pure magic to see how much fun my son was having with the worker. Couldn't recommend this place enough. PROS- clean, nice snack box options (peanut butter and jelly uncrustable and I think applesauce?), friendly staff, secure entrance, the motorcycles / roller track / giant slide/ soccer field are SO MUCH FUN. CONS- none!

This is a fun place for little kids. Lots of areas for pretend play: doctor, bakery, store, vet... There's a corn play area, a slide with a ball pit, a trampoline, and little cars to ride around on. Admission was $15 per kid. They had a nice family restroom with a comfy looking changing table. This is definitely a place I would come back to on a rainy/windy day like today. I hope that maybe they'll expand their weekend hours in the future.

We went to a friends birthday party here recently and my daughter had a great time!…read more We aren't from the area, so we were a little confused walking in, not realizing it was inside this community center and not a free standing business. But the staff in the front/lobby area were super helpful to direct us to the right place. There is a lot for a child to explore inside and perfect for ages 3-7, I'd say. Some of the slides are VERY FAST. So be aware of that if you have really little ones climbing up. The graphics of the waterfall and lazy river is a cute touch! And the party vestibule in the same area is so handy. It's a perfect venue for a kids birthday party. I am so glad our friends invited us! There is ample parking and the bathrooms are very clean.

They even have a crash pad under one because the kids shoot out so fast. It was hilarious to watch! The price as of this review is $10 per child resident or non resident which I thought wasn't bad. We were here playing over 2 hours! It was the perfect way to beat the cold weather. It was very clean and the equipment was in good condition. I would gladly return!

My kids love the giant ball pit. I think they have 4 birthday party rooms. When I recently attended for a birthday party, the employees seemed very helpful.

Then we go into the play place and it was FILTHY. I did go around 3pm but regardless you can tell the place is not cleaned well. There was dirty built up all over the mats and the little dance area was so filthy. Throughout the time I was there around 2 1/2 hours i saw one staff member sweeping up & the rest of the crew were in the manager office along with what looked like the managers. I would avoid throwing any party here. They gave the person that had the party here the room 40 minutes after arrival. The service was sub par. Avoid this dirty place and go to another kids play area.

They also offer delicious drinks and kid-friendly snacks, which is a great bonus. My son always has a blast exploring the variety of toys, and two hours fly by when he's playing with his buddies. In fact, we love it so much that we've decided to celebrate his fourth birthday there! The booking process was smooth, and the owners were a pleasure to work with--friendly, helpful, and professional. We had a wonderful experience and are already looking forward to many more visits in the future.

We visited Winnie's Playroom with my daughter, and she absolutely loved it. From climbing into the…read moreball pit to playing in the kitchen area and then taking care of the baby dolls. They also had a little library and even an art corner setup. There were so many fun little spaces for her to explore. Everything was very clean and the set up is executed well. As a parent I appreciate places like these especially on a rainy day or even in the winter. It also allows my daughter to explore new toys and then I have an idea of what she will like at home. Such a cute indoor play space for toddlers and little kids. We'll definitely be coming back soon and hopefully get to enjoy one of the many events they also host geared specifically to kiddos!

She had fun in the tractor/car area, and it felt like a safe space to play! We took a break to eat, but didn't get to try their food since we had brought our own. When we were done playing and eating, we got to pick a ball to take home too - what a nice addition. I wish that the pricing was a bit cheaper - it's not a place we would be able to go every time, but overall, a nice experience.

It was perfect for our 15 mo. There was plenty of seating and tables for parents, plus a designated area for parties, which is a nice touch. They also have a solid menu with coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, and options for kids. I only tried the coffee which was good, and the food looked great from what I saw. They do require kids to wear grippy socks. We didn't come prepared, but they had them available for just $1.99. I did notice a few kids without them, so it doesn't seem heavily enforced. Also, parents will need to remove their shoes. One of the best parts was that there's no time limit on play, and they allow in-and-out access, which makes it really easy if you're juggling errands or a toddler's schedule. Overall, such a great find and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

Once getting inside, we put our belongings in a few cubbies (Chicago winter bulk), and checked in. I signed a waiver for my daughter on an iPad that I returned to the cafe counter -- no separate registration area. You can pretty much see the entire space when you walk in. There are three themed play scenes (firehouse with brick-looking blocks inside, a medical area, and a farmers market corner. Additionally, there are two indoor climbing gyms, a ball pit connected to a large play vehicle via slide, and a more protected area for kids under 36 months that was more cushioned. A party room to the left when you enter. Our kiddos loved the many play vehicles that were scattered throughout the space. There's also a large inflated inner tube with handrails for kids to safely jump. We also had a lot of fun with the red vehicles that can set up at the top of two gentle ramps. My toddler requested to go down the ramp several times; "more more!". This play space was definitely had more cafe seating than I expected, with 4 couches in a row even facing the play area with coffee tables out in front. The avocado sandwich my sister and I split was delicious. Nicely toasted, packed with fresh ingredients and a tasty alioli with a hint of spice. It tasted like it was made from scratch and with love. One of the better sandwiches I've ever had at a cafe! Staff were friendly and attentive too. All in all, the set up is great for parents and toddlers. I wish there was a station for dirty toys that have been chewed on/put in ones mouth but I can see that the primary age group for this playcafe is 3+. We had a great time and I would consider coming back again, especially as our little ones can play more and more independently.
