Hidden Gem. This place is buried in the back of this strip mall and those that have found it have probably searched for a kiddie place and saw it pop up. It's easy to miss. This is my daughter's favorite place to play. The staff here are friendly and wonderful. There are so many things to do. On this trip we rode the wheeled vehicles around, played in the princess castle with the costumes, and played in the little town and grocery store. It's worth the price of admission. read more

Great place for toddlers! Very clean & well organized. Def recommend! Staff was friendly.

Great for very young kids! Clean and well organized. They have food and coffee so moms can feel comfy

Wow. What a great place! Today was our first time. visiting. I took my two year old and six month old. Right away we were greeted by the owner (I think) who was super welcoming and kind. He was training a new employee and was accommodating to us while still being very kind and helpful to his employee. Once we got to the play area I was blown away! There was so much to do- my two year old was in heaven! I loved that most of the toys promoted pretend play (not too many light up, noisy cheap toys). There were so many creative areas too. Like an underwater section with a submarine, a UV light space room, farm and jungle. There was a baby section with lots of safe toys for my little one as well. But by far the best thing was how CLEAN it is!! Not just sanitarily but also just neat and organized. There was a woman working there whole continuously picked up the toys and put them back in their place. This neat and organized look promotes children to explore and play. The woman who was organizing was very nice and was constantly moving through the space keeping everything tidy. Amazing. I also loved that they have different events at the space too. There was a white board when we walked in outlining various upcoming events like "Dad Day". Great idea! Punch cards too! We will definitely be back with our friends! read more

We love taking our grandchildren to Millie's! They love the dinosaur and princess areas, riding toys, climbing activities, and they can't get enough of the bubbles! Millie's is very clean and the staff is friendly. Great indoor play experience for young children under 5. read more

As grandparents we couldn't have asked for anything better for our grandson on a cold rainy day. The place is very clean and well organized and there are a lot of play options for toddlers and preschoolers. The staff is very friendly and it was a great first time experience for us. read more

This is the best toddler playland! We drive from 30 mins away for open play days. Which are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am--12pm. I love that it is only toddlers--no big kids rushing and crushing my baby! It's also very clean. Staff does a wonderful Job sanitizing throughout. There's so much for the kids to do and my toddler LOVES it here. He gets tons of exercise running around and socialization with the other kids. Plus, *I* get to chat with a friend or meet new Mom's whilst sipping my coffee. 10/10. Must go. You won't be mad that you did. It'll probably become a weekly thing for you too. read more

Totally exceeded my expectations. Idk what people are saying with the mask stuff. Masks aren't required most places anyway. And the kid being done in 15 min...idk how thats possible! This place is packed full of stuff to look at and do. Way cleaner than jumpzone or chucky cheeses. Totally worth the money. Super nice owners. Tons of room to run. An hour flew by. Def recommend. I wish i knew about it earlier. read more

Perfect affordable toddler play place. So thankful to have somewhere to bring the littles when outside isn't and option. I didn't see them cleaning like they mentioned on their website ( hourly ) but the place itself looks clean. read more

Millie's play land is super cute & has lots of age appropriate activities for little ones - we brought our 1 year old for her birthday. Unfortunately, we left after 5 minutes because majority of the people there were unmasked. With cases on the rise and a state wide mask mandate, it is irresponsible for a place geared around children to not require masks. read more

Held our twins 2nd birthday party here! Not only did our kids enjoy it but all the parents did as well. John definitely took care of us and was there every step of the way leading to the party. There's no place like Millie's! read more

I like that this place is always updating and adding new items for the kids. However, it gets way too busy in there at times. I've seen other play areas that have online sign ups for two hours of play for example. This helps ensure all kids get an opportunity to use items there. Last time I was there, my child could not do things he wanted to because it was so busy and other kids were using items the whole time during our visit. I've also noticed older kids there who are very rude to the younger kids about using toys, and the parents just sit there on their phones and don't address it. Honestly, it's always hit or miss when we go it can either be a very great time for my child or a very quick visit due to capacity chaos. read more

This place is amazing for families with energetic toddlers looking for fun, indoor activities during the winter. The owners obviously put a lot of thought into different things that appeal to kids, and there's a lot of options for imaginative play, active play, and even a sectioned off area for infants. Everything is toddler sized and there are no big kids running around. Toys are clean, well maintained, and there are super thoughtful details, like a mini fridge with snack pouches in case your kid refuses the snack that you brought. Wholeheartedly recommend! read more

This place did not show up to open the doors for a planned and paid party. People in the parking lot, kids crying, ice cream melting. 4 year old upset that they couldn't play. Extremely unprofessional and sadistic. read more

We just had our daughter's third birthday party at Millie's Playland, we had an excellent time with the cousins ranging from 2 to 6 years old. Everything was age-appropriate and the kids got to run around the entire place on their own and have fun, plenty of seating for the adults to watch and assist, and a separate eating room with a kitchenette, countertop space, tables and chairs for adults, and tables and chairs for kids. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend for private party for children under age 5. Random bubble blaster from the sky was super fun. They let you bring in your own food, drinks, cake, and/or catering, and don't forget that there is a honey baked ham next-door offering sandwich platters and fruit trays. read more

It was okay. My three year old was over it within 15 minutes and was ready to go. We were also the only people that were wearing masks so that was a little unsettling as well. For $12 I could take her to a trampoline park or Yu Kids island where I know she would have more fun. read more

This place is a kid's dream! It was so fun to watch my kids lose their minds over the cars, the houses, the slides, the farm, the grocery store, the bubbles, everything. My kids are 3 and 5, so at the top end of the suggested age range, but they loved it. And my daughter says she wants to have her birthday party here, so we will definitely be back. read more

Millie's Playland is amazing. Our kids are obsessed with going there. Staff is very friendly and owners are awesome. We are excited to be hosting our daughter's birthday party there next month. A must go!!! read more

Our family had a wonderful experience at Millie's Playland. I was looking for something to do last second for my daughter's birthday. They were very prompt with responding to messages. We booked out the entire place for 90 minutes. Pricing was so fair for everything included. All three of my kids had a blast and this place is unlike any other play place we have tried out. All sections were very well thought out, extremely safe, and creative! I even found myself enjoying looking around at each section to find the creative twists they had added. My kids let their imaginations run wild and are now begging to go back. On top of everything else, the place was EXTREMELY clean. Everything looked brand new. From the toys, to the floors, to the handles, to the bathrooms, everything was very clean. There is a Mother's Room for diaper changes, nursing, etc which even included a toddler chair and books for moms of multiples. Overall, I was very impressed with this place and look forward to frequenting! If you have been looking for something fun to do with your kids...this is the place! read more

Engaging. Fun. Spacious. Family Owned with great owners. EXTREMELY CLEAN. Lots to do for kids between 1-6. Hours of fun, honestly. Highly reccommend. My toddler (14 m) realllly enjoyed himself and would have played for hours if he could. We had fun too read more

We went to Millie's Playland for the first time today and had such a good time with our three kids (6,4,2). All of them were able to play independenly and never got bored. There were so many options that all were all visible and easily accessible to all ages. It was very clean and the staff were wonderful about walking through every little while to return unused toys to their proper area for other children to play with. We will definitely be back! read more

Millie's Playland is AMAZING!!! I rented it out for a private play session, and I couldn't get over how nice of a place it is. It's HUGE, extremely clean, and there are honestly endless activities and toys and sections. I would recommend it to anyone. We'll definitely be returning for more play sessions, and I plan to hold my sons birthday party here :) read more

Loved this place! Took my toddler here one morning. Was surprised with all the fun activities for him. He loved the cars he could cruise in and the space room. We will be back for sure. A great place to visit on a cold or rainy day. Very clean and tidy too! read more

One word, refreshing! Today was our first day at Millie's Playland and it was wonderful. At Millie's, kids are allowed to be kids. The venue was extremely clean and well maintained. The employees were very nice and always walking around picking up toys no one was playing with. By always putting the toys away, it was clean and made it easy for the kids to find toys they were wanting to play with. Everything was well spaced out too so if you are a parent bringing more than one child, goodbye stress! You can see your children from almost anywhere. I have a 22 month old and 3.5 year old and it is hard to find a place where they both have a lot to do. Millie's filled this need. There were so many toys and creative things to play with. My kids were laughing and smiling all day here. I even met the owners before leaving today and they were wonderful as well. They truly care about their business and customers. Wonderful people. I was so impressed overall that we bought the monthly pass on our first visit, which is an excellent value. I will be back to Millie's playland and be bringing everyone I can with me. Thank you to Millie's for filling this need in McHenry County! read more
