Very cute place. My granddaughter had her 7th bday party here. They have big slide and some very large inflatables. They even have a section for just babies and toddlers. They gave snacks and ice-cream.

It's a very clean, spacious and fun place for kiddos to play. It has jump houses, slides, ball pit and area for babies and toddlers. Not crowded on weekdays. Highly recommend for kiddos.

Right side of the holding with 2 huge inflatable bounce houses and the snack bar.

First time coming to Play City with my 17 month old son and I'll update the review when I leave near the end of the month so since I got a 30 day pass. I called for information and the woman who answered was very nice and informative. My son and I went, I had to scan a QR code to sign a waiver, and I purchased a weekday pass for $25 (no time limit). I was told to try it out with my son and if we enjoyed it we could upgrade to a 30 day pass for an additional $75. Prices: 0-11 Months $10 weekday, no time limit 1-12 Years $25 weekday, no time limit Weekends are same prices, but with a 2 hour time limit. $30 for all day. Food & Drinks: Can't be brought into the play area. You can bring food and drinks in, but have to eat in a certain area which are the tables in the middle of everything. Snack bar available inside. Play Area: It's a good sized area to watch your little ones. There's a section for toddlers and within that is a section for the ones who aren't quite walking around yet. Love the couches they put in there for the adults because they are so comfy! Lots of different play rooms with different items for the kids to play with. A few things to climb on/in and slide down. My son has a blast. We were only there for 40minutes when he started to get fussy and needed a nap! I think he can't wait to go back honestly. He loved being around other kids. My first impression was really good, hopefully it stays that way! Lowkey a good way to test out toys for your kids too.

Coming from out of town for the weekend and wanted to take my daughter to a indoor playground. Saw this place had high ratings and it was 15mins from my cousins house. I had originally planned on going when they first open but ended up getting there just after we ate lunch. It was noon and there were people there already, thankfully not packed. They had a QR code at the entrance so that you can sign waivers for the adults/minors. Grip sock required for children and regular for adults. You can bring your own for your kids or you can purchase there for $3.99. It's our first time going to an indoor play place out of town we have a few back home but not as big as this with multiple bounce houses/ obstacles courses and other activities! Fill out the wavier form to make checking in a breeze. They priced a Friday deal as part of their weekend for 2hrs it's $25 and for $5 there's no time limit. They also offer memberships. The lady at the front gave us a rundown of the rules. They have an area of ages 1-5 adults can go inside but not in the bounces or any of the structures, have to be wearing socks. If your child gets stuck anywhere they ask that you inform an employee and they will get them down. They provide cubbies to put your shoes in. There's many tables with chairs and sofa. They sell coffee, snacks, drinks and popsicles but you can also bring in your own drinks or food. The restrooms are clean. The play area was clean. My 3yo had the best time! Will definitely revisit when we're in-town.

My 9 and 5 year old always love coming to Play City. Typically I bring them on weekdays before 5pm and we have a good time. There's plenty of tables and everything is kept clean and neat. The staff is usually friendly. On evenings and weekends it's a whole other story. If you are a parent who is overstimulated by loud noises and crowds of people, I would not recommend it. Other than that, super fun time!

This place is great. I love how spacious it is. There's a section for each age group. My toddler loved playing grocery store and going down the slides. There's bounce houses, a ball pit, several play structures and more. The prices aren't too bad, $22* per child for an unlimited time. I'd check their instagram or website ahead of time because they do special events as well. Theres coffee in the morning for parents provided by casa de otay (really good coffee), a snack bar and plenty of picnic tables and couches. WiFi is also available. It's the perfect place for your kid to burn some energy while mom and dad relax/work.

Toddler area

UPDATE; we've come again twice since reviewing, and both times staff weren't doing anything about enforcing rules. This Sunday there were kids throwing toys at each other in the little kid area, running around with food and candy, and twice my baby got hurt in the baby area because there were older kids in there jumping around, climbing on things, and being reckless with toys. Both of my kiddos got hurt in one visit because older kids weren't being kept in check. That's not okay. Now I have no positives to make me want to come back, except it's the closest thing to where we live that I can take both my babies. Summary; Terrible music that's too loud, no safety in the baby area, unsupervised kids, no real food for purchase, "fire station" is STILL under construction, imaginative play area is lacking decent toys, staff that don't do much of anything, overpriced, adults cannot play with the kids... I don't think we'll be returning or recommending this to anyone.

Big kids area
Christina B.

I like how they have age limits in certain areas, although the staff doesn't uphold it well when littles are with big kids and my big kid wants to play in the little and we have to say no. It's very colorful and the little area is cute, while I think there could be more for the bigger kids. 2hrs is $25 and for the full day is $5 more, which they let you upgrade anytime which is nice. Staff is nice, good place for bday parties, a lot here now.

Edwin A.

This place is amazing! My kids can spend HOURS here and it's as if no time has gone by for them with how much fun they have. The jumpers are it great shape! The play structure is wonderful and they love going down the slide. The snack bar is fantastic and I can't get the kids away wanting more. The popcicles are a a hit! Bathrooms are clean and the staff is super nice and helpful. We've had parties here before in the reserved sections and they have great prices and fabulous options.

Jhenny B.

My son absolutely loves this place. He loves to get lost and go on his own adventure. They made so many upgrades since the last time we came. They added more jumpers, the ball pit area now has an upstairs with a little maze and slide. The renovations are outstanding for little wanderers. Pricing is a bit high but I think it's worth it for my little one. He gets so excited and happy. I highly recommend getting the 5 visit pass for $90 if you don't live close by, ($25 per visit) or if you live in the area they have a membership you should invest in. This place is mom and dad friendly, you can bring your own food, they have ample seating to keep an eye on your little one with table's and chairs or lounging with multiple spots with comfy couches. Caters to most ages, I would say under 12. Toddler friendly for sure. Wi-Fi is available, they also upgraded their snack bar. My only thing I would change is the entrance and exit. There's no lock on the entrance or exit and no one patrolling, so if you're not paying attention, your little one can run out and run into the street. I wish they did what they do at Chuck E. Cheese, with the numbers, matching family members and a person watching the exit. It would be a lot safer I feel. I recommend coming on a weekday when it's less hectic and crowded. It can get overwhelming with a bunch of kids and families running around. Overall, the best place to take your little ones. Highly recommend!

Play structure for kids
Calvin N. H.

We (wifey and I) were invited here for a family member's child's birthday party. Play City is a great place for kids to have fun. They have a large place structure, bouncy houses, inflatable slide, plastic ball pits, and a play area for babies/toddlers. It looks like there is an area that can be reserved for birthday parties as well. I wanted to take more pictures of the play areas, but with so many kids running around, I wanted to be respectful of their privacy. It's an alternative to Chuck E. Cheese (CEC). However, it appears that this place does not serve hot food, just snacks and drinks. This place also does not have the video games and other games you find at CEC, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Kids have a chance to be more active at Play City, instead of just sitting in front of a screen. It seems like kids get plenty of that on their game consoles, computers, tablets, televisions, phones, and so forth. There are a lot of tables and seating, but when it's crowded, seating is scarce. The staff appears busy, but they clean tables when they can. Otherwise, they have paper towels you can grab to wipe the tables yourself. I figured it would be faster than looking for someone, flagging them down, and asking if they could wipe the table. I'm not sure what their policy is on outside food. I did notice that some people brought in small cooler bags with drinks. I also noticed a couple of different parties that brought in pizza (from Little Caesars), and some people that brought in some Starbucks coffee. Looks like some of the regular parents brought in their personal laptop. Looks like they offer WiFi, they have "Play City Guest" but there is a password. I didn't bother asking an employee or looking to see if the password is posted somewhere, but I'm assuming it is free. Looks like they have daily pricing for kids that is limited or unlimited. Parents / adults do not get charged.They also have memberships which would be good for parents that bring their kids here regularly. They have AC, clean restrooms, and from what I can see, the play areas look relatively clean. Good place for kids to play when it is too hot outside, too cold, or if it's raining. Overall, it's a fun place for kids. 4 / 5: Facility / Play Areas 4 / 5: Cleanliness 3 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Overall

Sooo many kids going at the same time with other kids slamming into them. No staff anywhere at anytime just up front to grab the money

Ask the Community - Play City

Is there a specific section for older kids, 12 year old? is this something they'd actually enjoy or more younger kids?

It's more for younger kids i don't think a 12 year old would be too interested. There are some other options nearby they might enjoy.

Do you guys have high chair?

We do have high chairs available! They are first come first serve.

Are kids under the age of 12 months part of the maximum amount of kids required for any birthday package?

Only ages 1-12 years old count towards the guest list. Ages 13 and up count as adults.… 

Are parents allowed to go into the play area? My sons autistic and I'm worried.

Hello!. If your child has special needs, please notify the front desk of this so we may provide accommodations!

Random question ? Do adults / parents need to pay an entrance feee ? Or is it just for the child?

Hello, adults are free of charge. We do not allow anyone 13 and up to participate in the attractions.

Do they have Wi-Fi?

Yes they do have wifi for guests

Can you come and go once you've paid for the day?

Hello, we do not allow re-entrance. Only those with monthly memberships are allowed re-entrance.

Do they do temperature checks prior to entry of the play area?

Nope, and they don't require masks.

Is this an indoor playground or bounce house?

Both 😊 It's an indoor playground, with a huge play structure which includes a large slide. However, there are also 3 bounce houses and a large inflated slide.

Do they charge for a newborn? I didn't plan to have my 3 month old play, just my 4 year old.

No, they don't charge for newborns. They only charge for kids that will play.

Do they have air conditioning?

Yes!

There were so many issues with this place I will just list some of them here: 1. Confirmed number of guests but they didn't have enough chairs for adults so several people including my wife and I had to sit at a kids table on tiny chairs. 2. We only had three kids but I had to attend to my daughter frequently because she was crying and not being watched after in the play area. 3. Worker that was supposed to watch kids was constantly sitting and on her phone instead of trying to be helpful. 4. Sent them PowerPoint my wife spent an entire day making and although they confirmed they can play it they were not able to. They just put it on a thumb drive and plugged it into tv which just shows the pictures so no music, transitions or animations. Also, if the PowerPoint is large it won't play at all using this method which we were not told. I can go on and on but please save your money and don't come to this place unless you want to be disappointed and upset.

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.

Just a heads-up--you'll need to purchase grip socks if your kids don't already have them. There are designated areas where shoes aren't allowed, which helps keep things clean. The facility has plenty of play structures for kids to explore and enjoy, along with a couple of bounce houses. The bathrooms were very clean and had four stalls, which made things convenient. While they don't offer a large variety of food, it's understandable since this isn't really a restaurant. It didn't take away from the experience at all. My kids absolutely loved it--they played for a full two hours and definitely could have stayed longer! I also really liked their system of giving kids a sticker with their playtime. It makes it easy to see from a distance when their time is up. There are seating areas both in the front and the back, which is nice for parents. Overall, my family and I had a great experience. We're not locals, but if we're ever back in the area, we would definitely return!

I let him know they were grip socks from another indoor playground and politely declined his request to inspect the bottom of my feet. After that, two additional employees approached me separately asking to see my socks as well. I completely understand having safety policies, but being approached by three different staff members asking to inspect the bottom of my feet after I had already explained the situation felt excessive and awkward. At that point, I decided to request a refund and leave. The refund was provided without issue, which I appreciated.

It's like if someone crossed a SkyZone Trampoline Park with a McDonald's Playpen and slapped it with a coat of pastel paint and candy stickers. Sorry, CANDEE stickers. I will say that the prices are very reasonable. $25 buys you two hours of playtime. Grip socks are extra, food is extra, some of the games are extra. And the area itself is impressively clean, especially considering the number of young children traipsing about. On the negative side of things, however, the list is a bit longer. First, there's not a ton to do. Candeeland has limited space to work with and much of it is taken up by sitting areas for parents. The empty space could easily house 2-3 more small activities without sacrificing any existing areas. Still, what activities they do have are pretty intricate, with the multilevel play area having a nice array of padded areas for children to crawl through and a toddler area with nice pneumatic tube setup to delight the young. Next, even though the place is less than a year old, there's already some breakage of some of the area. There's a floor made up of touch screens that displays numerous games for kids to step on a play with. However, it's apparent that some larger kids have smacked a number of screens, causing them to go out or flicker. Which leads to my biggest issue. There are not that many people working here. This means that there are usually people minding the gate and checking if your kid is leaving with the right person. But, there aren't enough people on the floor to ensure safety or police older kids from doing things they shouldn't be doing. Candeeland really is a place that caters to those between 3-8 years of age. Older kids either don't fit on some of the slides or play a bit too rough with the environment. More than once, a screaming 12 year old almost barreled over my kid, knocked her off a slide, or hit her with one of the nerf axes. Sure, they balk when you glare at them. But, they just go back to screaming and thrashing about while their parents sleep oblivious in the corner. So, does my seven year old like Candeeland? Yes, she loved it and wants to come back. Did I like Candeeland? M'eh, not particularly. Still, I'm sure I'll be back eventually...

However, there are some safety issues that I believe need attention. My main concern is the 24-month-and-under area. During a busy Sunday visit, multiple older, more active children repeatedly ran through the space, jumped into the baby ball pit, climbed over the low walls, jumped down from the turf hill into the baby section, and played very close to crawling infants. One older child accidentally swung one of the baby toys and hit my 8-month-old on the head, knocking him over and causing him to cry. His mom immediately came into the infant section, apologized, and had her child apologize, which I appreciated. What concerned me most was seeing another child climb onto and walk along the wall separating the infant section from the front lobby--not even part of the play structure--and then jump down into the baby area. She accidentally kicked my husband on the way down while he was sitting beside our son. A staff member was standing nearby, clearly saw her walking on the wall, and simply walked away without redirecting her or saying anything. I understand that parents are responsible for supervising their own children. However, during our visit, several parents did not prevent their older children from entering and actively playing in the infant section. When staff directly witness behavior that is clearly unsafe, especially around crawling babies, I would expect them to step in. The current layout also makes the baby area feel like an extension of the larger play space. The low walls, open entrance, connecting tunnel, turf hill, and small age-limit sign--which is only visible from one side--seem to encourage older children to enter, climb, and jump into the area. We genuinely enjoy this place and will continue visiting, but I hope the owners consider clearer signage, more consistent staff redirection during busy periods, and possible future design changes to make the infant area safer and more clearly separated.

Each game lasts about 18 minutes, providing a nice rhythm for the kids to cycle back to the room for snacks and drinks. However, I do have a few suggestions regarding the birthday experience and food policies. First, we were disappointed to learn we couldn't bring our own cake. My daughter was quite let down, as the provided cupcakes didn't feel quite right for a milestone 10th birthday. We were also informed that if we wanted to bring any extra food or treats, they had to be individually wrapped, which is very limiting. Additionally, our host was not very engaging. They simply explained how the room and games worked, making the experience feel a bit transactional rather than celebratory. Despite these minor issues, it was a great party overall. The kids had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be back to play again.
