    Came here about a week ago and I was actually pleasantly surprised. There is plenty to do here and you can follow your kids everywhere they go. They did a really good job to have it be very family friendly and not just a spot for the more mobile kids. Obviously there are some areas they can improve upon like fixing certain play areas that have seen some abuse. Hopefully they do get on it and fix the remote control excavator area. All in all we stayed probably close to 2 hours even with our little. Definitely would come back!!!! It seemed like they do a decent job walking through and wiping things down too.

    I'm in love with this place! This location is only a few months old, so it is clean and new, spacious and vibrant. The place is massiveeeeee and beautiful, and there is sooooooo much to do and see and play with. I know my toddler (who is almost 2) loved it so much, but I did not realize how much I would love it, too. (100% yes we bought a 10-pack here!) Parking is not bad (depending on when you arrive) and it is very close to the 5 freeway, making it so convenient for everyone. I did not try the food at the little cafeteria, but one of the dads there told me it is not bad? We shall see on one of my other visits! If you have a kid and love air conditioning, this place is a must.

    This place is huge! There's so much for kids to do, and my kids stayed busy the entire time. I especially liked that there are areas for different ages, so both of my kids had fun. We'll definitely be coming back.

    This place is so big, so bright, so clean and so much to do! I have never seen that many interactive station before. Such as a car wash station where the kiddos put on rain gear to hose down cars, grocery shopping, slides, sand pit, library, hospital with CT scan machine. You can dress up as fire fighters. Mechanic horses. Axe throwing, basketball like carnival games. Your ticket includes reentry. We left for lunch and came back. They have a Cafe if you want to eat there. Tickets cost $35 per kid and $6 adult add on. We stayed a total of 6 hours to make it worth it.

    Worth every Penny! This place is huge. We didn't even get to explore the entire space because there is so much to do. My kids loved the slides, so many of them. I thought the water play area was so cool. The kids can wash dump trucks inside a room where they wear a raincoat and rain boots. Plus there's a water table too. The kitchen/grocery area was also a hit. So many food items, not like other places where all those get lost and not replaced. The area is really well kept, clean, and sanitary. There's a cafe with basic snacks and some hot items like hot dogs. I love that you can re-enter anytime during the same day.

    Oh my goodness! When I tell you even I enjoyed this place as an adult!! My kid loved this place. They have anything you could possibly think of. They have a water play area, crawl tunnels, slides, jumper area, grocery store area, a medical area and fun games and much more! They are constantly cleaning and keeping the place very clean. It was very packed on a Sunday when I went but since the place is so big, it didn't feel crowded. The pricing for my toddler, me and my husband was $30 which in my opinion wasn't that expensive. I've been to a lot of indoor playgrounds and it's about the same price. The staff were friendly and my only complaint would be the parking! They have parking in the front and in the back side.

    Large indoor play center with lots of pretend areas!

    Came to their soft opening today with the youngest kiddo and he had a great time. They opened at 11am for their first day, and it was $35 for a child and $6 for an adult. Spend as long as you want here, wasn't crowded at all. It reminds me of a hybrid indoor playground with a pretend city feel. Police station, farm, firetruck, large kitchen, shopping center, library, hospital, car repair station, party rooms, theater area, and lots of slides, tunnels, bounce house, arcade games and wall climbing zone. Tons of good fun (can spend at least 2-3 hours as the place is HUGE) and we've been waiting for this place to open! It's finally available! Admission is a bit expensive but that's the price you pay for a NEW indoor experience for the kids! :) Bonus: they have a water play area with a pretend car wash & splash zone - there are waterproof jackets, pants and booties prepared for the kids, including slippers for the adults so you don't get your socks wet. They are really thoughtful about the experience! They also have a cafe inside in case the kids get hungry or thirsty. Plenty of seating in the cafe area. FREE parking!

    Huge Playpie playground.

    We've been to the Playpie in Buena Park a few times, but this one is bigger and better. We came all the way out here for a birthday party and were immediately surprised by its size. I would venture to say it's twice if not almost thrice the size of the BP one. I'll highlight some things below: * Play Kitchen/Grocery Area: This is all the way to the rightmost side of the building from the entrance. There's a garden, multiple cooking stations and two sections that hold various food items. My toddlers loved this area the most. I loved that there were screens with recipes and checklists, so you can search and scan items to then "cook" the food. This would be fun for elementary-aged kids who love scavenger hunts. There's also a little closed "sand" with three remote-controlled diggers, but unfortunately, none were really working correctly for that to be fun for the kids. Pretend Play: There's a section with a fire truck and an interactive water gun screen game. It's arcade-style in that you can play as one of four firemen and shoot your water gun towards to screen to put out buildings and fires. To the right of that is a small section with a momma cow and baby cows where you can "milk" the mom and feed the babies (it's all water, of course). A little further down back near the entrance is a little mechanic section with a raised up car, another arcade-style horse game (up to 4 players) and four smaller rocking horses for the littles to ride on screen-free. Playgrounds: So many playgrounds. I think the one near the play kitchen is geared to the smallest kids with its padded and lower slides, a building block wall, and rocking toys. Past the entrance to the left is another playground section with an interactive screened ball pit, and ball tube machines. There are various obstacle-style pits, zip line-style pulls to get across and a LEGO-inspired slide. All the way to the far left is a huge open-air jumper with Super Mario-style moving parts as you scale yourself across the wall. There is another castle-like jumper next to that. Cafe: In the far back left wall from the entrance is a cafe section that serves hotdogs, fries, pizza, slushies and drinks including coffee. They have 4 Stokke-style seats for littles and rounded tables that can seat up to four people. There is a horse carousel for photo ops and a little pit section with wooden beads, trucks, shovels and a slide, perfect for littles as you relax. Party Rooms: As you follow along the back wall from the cafe, you'll find 3 large party rooms. Depending on your plan, they'll set up everything including string goodie backpacks, drinks, etc., or you can bring your own stuff. Signs outside the room state time (most were 1.5 hrs). They provide you with a cart to cart out all your stuff when the time is up, which can be helpful if you still have food and drinks for latecomers (ahem, speaking from experience). Water Play / LEGO wall / Library / Restrooms: Further to the back right corner from the party rooms is a huge LEGO-style wall where you can create all kinds of things, a small water section where you can put on raincoats to stay dry as you play with water, and a small library with some seating. The library section wasn't as big and varied as the one in Buena Park, and the books mostly suited younger children most (from toddler to elementary). Restrooms were in the far back corner and I liked that, just like the BP location, they provided slippers for the adults and children. Restrooms are clean, and they had a small potty insert, ladder at the sink, and baby changing station for the littles. My only complaint was that the trashcan in the women's restroom really stunk; on busy days, they really need to change that more often since there are many babies too. I was there for roughly four hours and only saw someone in there doing soap as it neared evening. Overall, this was a nice place for the kids, but be aware that it's definitely geared more towards maybe four year olds and up. My son was on his way to 3, but there are just some things that he could play with, whereas my daughter was more engaged with everything. For full benefit, I would say that kids 4-12 (TK through 5th grade) would have the most fun, speaking from my own experience. This is definitely a place to check out if you're in the area. They do charge for adults, but that's the norm at all their locations. You are free to leave and enter for the day, so it makes for a good day of play if it's a hot day outside too.

    Sweating

    I'm honestly furious about how this was handled. We visited last Saturday and the place was extremely hot and packed. We later found out the AC was BROKEN -- yet no one at the front desk said a single word when we checked in. AC can break. I 100% understand that. But if you're running a business for CHILDREN, how do you not warn parents before letting them in? Had we been told, we would have immediately left for our child's safety. Kids were drenched in sweat, adults' clothes were soaked, and within just 30 minutes, my 2-year-old was sweating heavily and felt extremely hot. We had to grab him and leave. Look at the photos -- does this seem acceptable for a children's facility? The broken AC isn't what made me angry. The complete lack of communication and concern for children's safety is. If your business is built around kids, their safety should never be an afterthought.

    We love playpie! My son is only one so a lot of it really is for bigger kids so I have to do everything with him/for him which is fine for me but for sure geared towards 3+ Lots to do, love seeing the staff walking around and cleaning just hope it's also being sanitized. They also have a food court area, we have not tried the food but it looks decent. Great party rooms which I'm sure one day we will use! The parking lot is pretty rough not going to lie sometimes hard to find parking and it's kinda falling apart. It does get pretty hot In there I always leave sweating, wish they could crank the AC a little more As a mom I would love to see their posted cleaning schedule and what they do to give piece of mind For a one year old it's kinda expensive just cuz we have 1.5 hours max to be able to play before he needs to go home so that would be nice to be considered for something less but for a kid who can go hours and hours it's more worth the price

    I decided to spend part of my birthday here, formerly Zoomars…read more Back when I visited aaaaages ago, I remember Zoomars being half the size RSR is now, and the animals ran amok. I'll preface this by saying I'm a house rabbit owner. The old setup stressed me out with the bunnies running around being grabbed and picked up by everyone and poked and prodded by kids when they clearly were trying to hide. The new setup? I was happily surprised to hear the bunnies weren't out for the day due to the weather. They can suffer heatstroke and are sensitive to hot weather (mine are spoiled and live in 73-69° daily). So no bunnies out suffering the heat? That's so awesome! Thanks for caring RSR! I got to love on the Guinea pigs who had room to run, while someone would pick them up and place them in a bin beside me, tell me their name, approx age, and their fave veggie. I fell in love with Lola (I believe that's her name). She's a fiend for lettuce and gets the cutest green mouf. She begs for more and you can't deny her lil bug eyes. The Emu Angel has been there since I last visited (she's 38yrs old!). The goats and sheep are separated from the llamas and you can't step inside with them anymore (honestly this is probably best so kids don't get knocked out or have their clothes chewed). You can still feed and pet all of the animals! I can't complain about the price of admission or the price of feeding them. I personally know the cost of exotic vet care and it's not cheap, throw in the livestock vets and care and you're looking at a pretty penny. I guess a pro tip is to show up on a week day, somewhere around 2, and pace yourself. I spent over an hour there so it wasn't a blink and you miss it type of adventure for me.

    We came here for a fun day trip with family, and it was such a great experience! We took the train…read moreso the kids could experience riding it and have some fun along the way. This place is so cute, and the train drops you off right there, which makes it super convenient! My almost 3-year-old especially loved the petting zoo. You do have to pay admission, and feeding the animals is an additional cost, but we thought it was worth it for the experience. There are also tons of cute shops to walk around and plenty of different food options. We had a great time and will probably be back again!

RATING BREAKDOWN | Playground: 5 | Restroom: 4 | Environment: 4 | Price: 5 | PARKING Side street parking nearby is free. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The playground is surrounded by a residential village with single family homes and townhouses. This area of SoCal is absolutely beautiful with its mild climate, oak canyons, valleys, and hills. The playground entails a linear design which serves as a clever use of space. PLAYGROUND Its features include the following in no particular order: + sturdy playground equipment with poured rubber surfacing + turf hill for sliding or rolling down (bring cardboard pieces) + plenty of concrete for scooters, bicycles, tricycles, and strollers + kid-sized zip rail + swinging egg chairs in front of a fire pit + adirondack chairs + benches + slides + swings + shade trees + huge community chalk board + picnic shelter My kids love playing outside probably more so than most children these days. They didn't want to leave on 2/21/22. RESTROOM I was so lucky there was a clean restroom open for one of my daughters. It was located within a short walk of the play structures in the building called The Garage. MY FAVORITE PART... How I found this park... scouring Google maps per usual. MY LEAST PART... It's in a remote area for sure.

    This review is for the Newport popup. I really wanted to like this place, but it was a big…read moredisappointment. We visited Kid Can Do expecting a fun, engaging indoor play space for young children, but it felt more like a restrictive, adult-supervised activity zone than a true play area. The biggest issue was the inconsistency and lack of freedom for the kids. Plenty of cupboards, covers, and storage areas were unlocked and easily accessible, so naturally the children explored them. As soon as they pulled out toys or art supplies, staff quickly took them away because they "weren't part of this week's theme." If you're going to leave things unlocked and within reach, kids are going to play with them, that's completely normal and developmentally appropriate. Instead, we spent most of our time picking up after our child and saying "no" or redirecting them. If that's the kind of experience you're looking for, this is the spot for you. If you want a place where children can actually play freely without constant intervention, look elsewhere. It also didn't feel developmentally suitable for the younger ages they advertise for. The setup created more frustration than fun, with limited open-ended play opportunities. On top of that, the cost felt excessive for what's offered. For the price, I expected more space, better variety, and far less policing of normal kid behavior. You could re-create what they offer for a fraction of what you are paying to go here for 90 minutes and have better peace of mind doing it in your own home. Save your time and money. Head to Play Pie or the New Children's Museum down in San Diego instead--both are much better options for actual play and exploration. Unfortunately, this was a waste of an afternoon for us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There were times staff kept putting back toys so quickly and frequently I was getting annoyed (in my head) because I had to keep getting boats and fish back out for him in the water area. I love that they switch out the sensory items in the art room throughout the month so it's a different experience each visit. Their Wonder Lab area with painting was sooo fun! It's too bad it was only seasonal. My son loves all of it - harvesting fruits and veggies in the farm, pushing his own cart in Trader Joe's, cooking in the restaurant, etc. It is truly a great, fun space for kids. Once, the CEO played in the construction area with him for a few minutes - that impressed me. They also regularly have special event days with dance and music demonstrations, author read alouds, etc. Members Only hour is the best time to visit (they open an hour early). Once 10:00 hits, the floodgates open and it's gets substantially more crowded. With all that said, we visited on a recent Sunday afternoon - never again! Every exhibit was in total disarray (every single toy on the floor and rarely even in the right zone), older kids zooming around on kid cars like scooters, a child climbing the fake fountain in the center and standing at the top (where were the parents?! No staff member present either...it was really dangerous). I've never seen Pretend City look like that before but if that's what it was like on my first visit it would scare me away! There's lots of parking but mostly in the back lot. The front lot gets full fast and many spots are reserved for other businesses. You can bring your own food/drinks to eat in their Cafe area or purchase some from vending machines. Wish they sold coffee...
