All the adults that came had the best time too running around with the kids. There's a snack bar and very clean restrooms. There's also a baby area so that they have a place to get their energy out too. Overall, really can't say enough good things about this place. We will definitely be back!

There is plenty of space to run around and it doesn't feel crammed even when they are hosting a birthday party like one today. Check in was easy and the punch card offers a good deal at $100 for 4 weekday and 2 weekend punches. I also scored a $5 discount for becoming a member and another $5 by getting a coupon their website and that made it totally worth it. There is good food selection of pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets , popcorn, ice cream and slushies but we don't eat today so I can't comment on quality and taste but hope to be back soon.

There are so many options, activities, and fun things to do that he never knows where to start! There's also a small restaurant inside the play area, which is super convenient if you get hungry, and they have special rooms available for party bookings. If you create an account, you earn points every visit, which you can later redeem for little "gifts"--such a fun bonus! And one of the nicest touches: when you leave, each child gets to pick a free ball to take home. It's such a thoughtful detail. Highly recommend!

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!

I 100% recommend this space for anyone looking to host an event, especially if you are doing one with several young children in attendance.

"Northbrook Play" is a children's play area located inside the Northbrook Court. It's a wonderful…read moreuse of a vacant space, as many retailers have closed their brick and mortar stores nowadays. I would say if you happen to be nearby with a young toddler, stop by and let your kid release some energy and gain some fun playtime. It's a small venue. Parents get to sit down on comfy couches and watch their love ones play. I would say some parents there were too comfortable and they were on their phones while the kids were left unattended for a little bit... Anyways, all I wanted to say was that parents may take a short break to catch a breath. There are a theater stage, a walkway leading to a small slide, climbing obstacles, a fun selfie station and an infant playground. There is not much else, so don't make a long trip coming here. There is a designated stroller parking and shoes are asked to be taken off. I saw most kids do that, yet the parents were walking with shoes on. I wasn't sure what the policy really was. Certainly everyone's shoes should be dirty enough and shouldn't be worn on this relatively clean area. Our 2-year old toddler had fun. There is a tree house downstairs in the mall for kids as well, free of charge. I found this mall pretty boring and noticed a good amount of vacancies. I think they started some type of renovation or expansion. The restrooms were quite clean and maintained, with toliet covers provided. "Northbrook Play" is completely free and anyone is welcome.

Can't believe this place is free. The cleanliness and well-made decor remind me of other play areas…read morethat you have to pay to get into. We came here with some friends who also have young kids. The parents hung out on the comfy couches (enough room for us and much more) while the kids ran around and played. There's no staff on site, so I'm amazed how well they keep it clean. There's things to climb, a slide, a stage for pretend play. Not too many interactive activities like at a children's museum per say, but my kids just needed a place to run and climb around. There are certain times of the day it's closed (for cleaning I'm guessing). We came at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves. It was luxurious. I'll definitely be back again.

I do wish there was a half day price for littles under 3 because they for sure won't last the full day to enjoy the play. We lasted about an hour, it took little man about 20 minutes or so to get used to the play area, esp with all of the screaming big kids. The ceiling space really does carry the screams quite a bit so he got startled often but ended up still having a great time. The space was spacious and the staff was incredibly nice. We also ordered little man a meal after 3 and got a discount. We got a few drinks as well. We got him a grilled cheese and it came with veggie straws and a beverage. Since he couldn't drink juice yet, they offered milk which he did get to enjoy. Overall a great experience, and recommend to any parents looking to tire their kiddos out during break.

I was very excited to scope out Playroom Cafe. Playroom Café is the perfect spot for a play date/mommy coffee date, with their small cafe menu that offers coffee, small bites, milkshakes and a shockingly semi-healthy kids' food menu. The area is bright, clean and inviting, with plenty of space for adults to relax while the children explore. I love that I can see my daughter from any angle of the seating area. Solid European song selection as well, I can't even tell you how peaceful it was to not have to listen to children's music for two hours. They offer semi-private and private birthday parties and have a super cute private area to help your littles celebrate! I will definitely be adding Playroom Café to our regular rotation and for possible birthday ideas in the future.

"Playroom Cafe" is officially added to my list of children's cafes, even though it is a bit farther away from where we live. "Playroom Cafe" is located on the second floor in the Randhurst Village outdoor shopping area. The admission fee for each child is $17, with 2 adults allowed. The layout is nice and adults can supervise their kids with mostly unobstructed view while sitting down. Food offerings mirror the typical cafe items you can find in most places. Shoes are required to be off inside the cafe/play area for everyone. During our visit, we saw the staff who did a great job keeping the venue clean and things were picked up from the ground in a timely manner. They were also working on setting up a private, members-only party when we were there. Therefore, there was a plenty of people working and serving the patrons on a Saturday afternoon. Our boys had an awesome time releasing their energy and enjoyed the waffles and berry smoothie. My partner and I took turns to hang with them at the play area, which was nice to share responsilities while finding time to relax and sipping a cup of joe. We probably will be back at some point because the drive to Mount Prospect is quite long. Nevertheless, we like "Playroom Cafe" and will recommend for patents who are specifically looking for kids-centric cafes in Chicagoland.

We came here to beat the heat because the heat index was 105 degrees! He had the entire play structure with slides to himself and loved exploring it. There is an awesome colorful net structure that I have never seen before. He enjoyed balancing on it. I like that they allow the parents to play with their kids, which can be helpful for the little ones. There was a smaller section for kids age 0-3. There were also lots of arcade games that you can play with a reloadable game card. Our favorite was the Nerf target shooting game and the rubber duck crane (there's a winner every time!) We scored 3 rubber duckies for our kiddo's collection. Outside food is not allowed, but there is a snack bar with drinks and food. There are also plenty of tables to sit at and there's a wall of massage chairs for the exhausted adults that need some pampering! We will definitely be back after school on another weekday. We probably spent a little over an hour here and had a lot of fun!

At other play cafés, I feel like I'm constantly getting up and following my daughter around just to see what she's doing.

It's so nice to be able to sit back, enjoy a coffee, and let her play independently while I watch from the sidelines. We always have a great time and will definitely keep coming back.
