Disappointing experience - not the same as before…read more I visited Candeeland Carlsbad yesterday with my 5-year-old son, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. I want to start by saying the front desk attendant was very friendly and welcoming. However, the rest of the staff completely changed the tone of our visit. They were consistently rude and made us feel not welcomed there. I've been there before and had a very different experience, so this was surprising. This time, I was not allowed to sit at the tables with my coffee and reusable water bottle, even though they sell drinks and snacks on-site and I've done this on previous visits. I had no intention of taking anything into the play structures, just sitting at the tables. I also planned to do some light work on my computer while my son played, something I've done there before, but I was told that wasn't allowed either. I was told I had to stay with my son at all times. The way this was communicated was the most frustrating part. The staff came across as dismissive and unwelcoming, not just to me but to other families as well. I ended up speaking with the assistant manager because the situation felt so uncomfortable. As I was leaving, another family actually thanked me for saying something because they were feeling the same way, which says a lot. I had been planning to host my son's birthday party there in June, but after this experience, I will definitely be making other plans. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously, because this place has potential, but the customer experience needs a lot of improvement.

A great indoor play area for children to run freely without having to worry about them getting…read morelost. It's clean, safe and secure - plus well lit. Air conditioning is on full blast which is a necessity especially with all the people and the body heat that's generated here. Food and drink are reasonably priced. Socks are included and aren't too pricey. Several dedicated sections for parties of all sizes. I wouldn't hesitate to consider this place for a birthday party. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Be back soon.

We love this indoor playground for our 5 year old daughter. It is located in Grossmont Center,…read morewhich makes it super convenient for playtime after running errands or shopping in the area. I really appreciate all the new additions and renovations. We were out of town for about a month and when we came back, so many of the play stations had been updated. It definitely did not go unnoticed and shows they are investing in the space. One thing I love about this place is how often the staff cleans and reorganizes. No matter how busy it gets, it never feels messy. It also never smells like feet in there, which is honestly a big problem at other indoor playgrounds. The staff does a great job maintaining a clean and pleasant environment. The only downside for us is that our daughter is growing out of it a little too fast. She can get bored if there are not other kids her age to play with. This is truly a great spot for younger children. I do wish they offered an hourly rate instead of requiring a full day pass, because sometimes you just need a quick hour or two to let the kids get their wiggles out. Overall, it is a wonderful, well maintained playground and we will continue recommending it to families with younger kids.

Play My Way has honestly been the biggest blessing for our family this summer. I have a 5-year-old…read moreautistic daughter and a 3-year-old typical son, and they both absolutely love it here. It's one of the only places where they each get the attention, fun, and support they need--and I get a little breather too. The staff that we have met ( Tammy, Mary, Julie , Steven and Mike ) and the owner Rachel are INCREDIBLE -so kind, patient,helpful, understanding and just genuinely loving. They've become like family to us, and this place truly feels like our second home. And the moms? We've built such a little community here. We share tips, tricks, and support--everything from where the best fenced-in parks are to how to get free caregiver passes for places like the zoo or SeaWorld. It's a safe space not just for the kids, but for us too. If you're thinking about checking it out--do it. You won't regret it. This place is special.

We absolutely love tiny tiger, my son always has a blast here (he is 2.5) and the environment is…read morealways very clean. I love that they always have employees out sanitizing and cleaning up! We recently visited another play place and he got very sick shortly after which makes me appreciate places like this that much more. There are so many things to do here we easily use up our 2hr visit every time. The only reason we leave is because my kid is starving after all the play lol. He talks about this place weeks after visiting. We can't wait to come back

I like how the parents can participate and going into the structure with your littles. This place was well organized and staff was walking around picking up toys and putting everything back. I like how they have bins with toys that's been put in your children's mouths so that way they can clean it! They don't do military here but the pricing is reasonable and worth the drive from Chula Vista!

Yes, it was loud and it did get pretty hot since the air conditioning didn't seem to be on, but honestly the most important thing was that the children had an absolute blast -- they even enjoyed watching and joining in on the other event happening there The kids stayed entertained the entire time and created such fun memories together.

Finally got a chance to experience this amazing concept on a Saturday morning 1015am. Reservations…read moreare pretty straightforward online- just make sure you also fill out the waiver online cause if you don't it's quite a hassle trying to do so with excited kids who want to just rush and play. The lobby is small but has kids tables and a few toys to help distract them while you fill out the waiver. Large cubbies are available and can easily fit 4+ shoes, bags, jackets, etc. I love the feeling of cleanliness of the whole place. The large open play area, the various slides and obstacle courses for all ages. The Cafe is a major+ with breakfast items, lunch items, and even adult beverages. You can bring your laptop and somewhat work there if you have to. Only thing missing from making this a 5star in my book, was the staff on the floor seemed blah (no smiles, no hello). Like they had a rough prior night and seemed they needed coffee more than the parents there lol. Definitely a solid 4 star place. Love that you can bring your own slip resistant socks and not forced to buy. But they have socks in stock if your forget and adults can use their own socka. Would come back again since my kids love the ball pit and not many places have a clean open ball pit.

My first time here and my last! Upon entering I was at the counter trying to check in and was…read moreinterrupted 3 times by 3 different guests which was not discouraged by the employee but literally stopped what she was doing with me and assisted 3Xs!! Finally after checking in she said ok...and I said Ok what do I do since I have never been there (with my shoes and belongings) She said "just go in and find a place for your shoes on the right and then try to find a seat" So we go in and the cubby for shoes is completely full and there are shoes everywhere. When we move over to the toddler play area (granddaughter is 2) we are bombarded with over 3yr old kids rough housing. I see a sign on the wall that says 3 and under, parents please assist in this. I had to mention this to at least 5 different older children. 1-I'm not there to supervise other peoples children 2- there should be a limit on how many people are in there..in my opinion it was completely over crowded 3- there should be more supervision on the floor, especially in the toddler section where they are more prone to injury 4- if someone is asked if it's their first time then give some more attention and guidance upon entry Upon leaving I was asked my name and after telling the employee I said " this has not been a good experience " We were there for about 30 minutes when I decided enough was enough. She replied "sorry to hear that, have a good day " Needless to say I don't recommend and will not return!

As a stay at home parent, this place is so helpful during the week just to get out of the house. It's perfect for rainy days or just something to do! Sometimes the workers will play with my daughter when there's no kids, which I do appreciate since parents aren't allowed inside the structure. The party package was decently priced before they changed it. They also create random rules that change out of no where & parents are just expected to roll with it without any notice or postings & trust me I have gone almost every single day. They randomly came up with us having to purchase their socks without posting it. They change their party pricing without updating it.
