    Indoor play area with plenty of seating
    Grace O.

    Celebrated my son's 6th birthday at South Play. The 60+ guests had a blast! The set up and personalized touches were perfect. We also rented the courtyard and had plenty of indoor/outdoor space for the kids and parents to mingle. Kelsie and team were amazing! Throughout the party they would continuously check in and provide an updates. As a busy working mom we literally did everything via phone, text or email. They answered every question I had or needed. We did the VIP party package and they took care of everything. Literally we just walked in and brought a cake for my son (optional because they coordinate personalized cupcakes for the kids!) Highly recommend if you are looking for a full service party location with a variety of activity for the kids. So easy. Thank you to the entire South Play team!

    Extra small touches by the staff to personalize your party.

    I've hosted at least 3 parties here(dating back to when it was the Coop). South Play is such an amazing place to host a birthday party. The staff are always friendly and so helpful. It's clean, safe and lots of fun for kids of all ages. I have a 2, 8 and 12 year old and they all had a blast. I 10000% recommend South Play to any parent that is looking for an easy, stress free birthday party venue. Kelsie even went out of her way to try to make my daughter's party extra special (I told her that I was very low maintenance on decorating but she still offered a gorgeous sequin table cloth and the use of their adorable cake stand). I cannot rave about this indoor playground enough.

    What a wonderful experience we had with South Play! We wanted to host our son's 1st birthday party somewhere both kids and adults could enjoy, and South Play was the perfect spot. Their indoor play area kept the kids occupied for hours, and their ability to rent out the patio for all of the tables/chairs/food for adults was wonderfully accommodating. We selected the VIP package and we truly felt VIP! Lili and her team took care of everything - setting up the entry room beautifully on theme, ordering food for all adults and children, having cupcakes ready for the kids, among others! The staff was extremely helpful, taking care of putting away/storing all gifts, getting cake cutting ready, and cleaning up quickly at the end of the event. South Play's list of vendors was perfect - everyone we chose from there was professional, accessible, and worked seamlessly with Lili and the team. I truly felt I came into that morning with no stress and I spent the rest of the event enjoying myself and our guests. We highly recommend South Play for all future children's events - it was a blast!

    Compared to surrounding competitors, this place, for the most part, is very clean. Staff is nice. She even gave a lunch recommendation nearby after we finished playing. This is geared towards younger kids, and mine are a bit older. They still had fun though. I would say probably babies though kids aged 7 or 8 would be ideal (my eldest is 10). Ball pit & play structure were super fun. Bounce house is a high end heavy duty bounce house. Doll house is adorable. Kids loved the bouncy horses & little cars in which they could scoot around. Our main turn off was the dodgeball game which we could not easily figure out how to play. Also the light up "dance floor like" surface on which we were to play was filthy and in desperate need of being wiped down/sanitized. I told my children to remove themselves from it immediately once we determined how dirty it was. Apart from that one issue, this place is fine. A fun place to spend an hour or two playing.

    I celebrated my daughter's birthday here and everything was absolutely great. The staff made everything run smoothly, and the best part of all is that the kiddos and parents had a great time! I highly recommend celebrating your child's birthday here, or coming here for your child to play.

    We recently hosted my son's birthday party here and had such a great experience! Kelsie and her entire team are wonderful to work with, including the vendors on their vendor list! Amazing value for having the space entirely private for your party, and plenty for all age groups of kiddos! We'll be back again soon.

    We had such a blast using South Play for our daughter's 4th birthday party. It was so easy, from start to finish. Maya was so great to work with planning the party, she was quick with communication and took care of everything for us! It was so nice to be able to not have to stress about the planning, decorating, or even cleaning up after the party! The kiddos had the best time in the huge play room, and our adult guests were all impressed with the decor. We highly recommend South Play!

    We had my daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was absolutely perfect! Kelsie made everything stress-free and was always helpful and responsive. She answered all my questions and made my daughter's vision come to life. The space is perfect since there's a separate play area but also an open courtyard outside in the front you can use. We used that area for a magician and a taco stand and everyone raved about how awesome the party and space was. The lighting inside was also perfect for pictures, and parking was a breeze. Highly highly recommend South Play for any parties and Kelsie for your party planning needs!

    We had our daughter's first birthday party at South Play and it was PERFECT. The owners made planning process easy breezy. Open communication from the start. They were available what seemed like 24/7 to answer any silly questions I had. I chose "The Gala" with a custom ballerina theme. I had a vision and they executed beyond expectations! I now know what stress free party planning feels like. Day of party comes around and there was a bomb threat near South Play. Perimeter blocked. Need an all clear for party to start. WHAT??!! Owners called every 30 minutes to update us. They were so accommodating and gave us all the options to make it right. We decided to wait it out. Got the all clear 2 hours after original start time. Great!! We got in there, they extended our time, everyone had a great time. Definitely one for the books. BOMB. PARTY. Just book your next party here. They aren't limited to kids party either. Seems like if you can think of it, they can make it happen. THANK YOU again South Play!! We'll be back soon!

    Such a fun experience! My grandkids just immersed themselves in happiness for 3 hours. The staff were so helpful and thoughtful I'll be bringing my grandkids back for more!

    Is it only for parties? Also, do you have food and drinks for adults apart while the kids play?

    Hi there! We have public day play Tuesday-Friday from 10-3pm and we host private birthday parties on the weekends. We sell snacks, juice boxes, water, and candy (at a cost) during days play hours. There is also a delicious cafe right next door!… 

    Hi there. We are visiting from out of town. It is too cold (for us anyway) to do the beach with our 7 & 10-year-old boys. Would they still be of an appropriate age to enjoy South Play, or are you geared more toward infants and toddlers?

They thoroughly explained the process and timeline for our event and put out the coffee, bagels and donuts we brought for our guests to eat outside of the play room since we had a 9am start time. The kids had a great time playing and our hosts had the dining room set up with decorations before our eating time. It was great that they were able to blow up a few balloons that we brought (for an added fee) that were specific to the theme. We only bought pizzas from Scooters Jungle and brought other food ourselves, but everyone enjoyed the pizza. They did a great job serving the dessert and helping us pack up our things at the end. Overall, they provided top notch experience from A to Z and made hosting super easy. Would definitely recommend having your kids' birthday party here if you're considering it!

It is way bigger and has a ZIPLIIIINE Which sits to the far right side away from the toys! Every time Our kiddos come they have a blast and Heck I WANT TO STAY TILL DANG NEAR CLOSING!! ;-) Besides fun for the kids this location offers Parent's night out where they watch the kids and you get leave, Ladies Paint night which is a hoot, and various activities like parking lot water day and more! This gym is BIG compared to the other one we went to and there is so so much for the kiddos to do! One of the many things I appreciate is that while there are several swings I noticed on days when it is more crowded one or 2 are removed as to avoid kiddos swinging into other kids . However, how the gym is set up makes that less likely if a child walks the perimeter. While not because of the swing but this cute horse ramp thingy My owned kid mowed down a parent who was in her line of fire and it was both HILARIOUS (Me and the mom cracked up about it) I apologized to the mom and moved the toys back to where Ms. Tiffany originally had it -which would have avoided the accident in the first place (So my bad :-) ) I have so many things to say about how much I Enjoy We Rock The Spectrum! But the main thing is I can tell this place is run with love, integrity, and passion! We Will be back soon! *The Long Beach location closed a while ago which is why I am comfortable comparing the two. If they were still in business I would not have mentioned them.

    Update 2: the owner has all ready edited their unprofessional comment towards me twice since they…read moreposted it. I received two Yelp notifications today, 5 days after the fact. Despite the edit, they are still making up lies about my child. They've also changed the language of the original comment. For example, from "my son" to "the owners son" I guess in an attempt to make it seem like someone else wrote it. It's weird if you ask me. Nobody is attacking you. If you deem every negative review as an attack against you then you should hire someone else to manage your social media. It's a bad look. I won't comment any further. Changing your comment towards me and editing it after I've responded to it is another sign of distrust. Hire an attorney and proceed with legal action if you think I'm lying. I will happily repeat everything I've said under oath and I have a witness. Update: the owner responded and essentially accused me of lying by saying my child did not get hurt there (she did although it was an accident). If that doesn't show you the level of professionalism at this place then I don't know what to tell you. To address her claims, my daughter was not upset on arriving. She became frustrated in the waiting room while we were waiting to fill out the form. Once she got into the gym she was jumping and shouting for joy. Nice job leaving that out, really helps build trust. The kid on the zip line had to be very close to middle school age. There was another kid close to middle school age as she mentioned who was likely her son. Neither one of those is the kid who stepped over and fell on my daughter. That kid was in elementary school and likely 6 years old or so. The parent even apologized when it happened. I'm guessing your cameras didn't catch that or you are being deceitful, either way it's concerning. Why else would we come in and leave after 7 minutes? I'll stand by my statement that having kids close to middle school age riding on a zip line in an area where autistic toddlers are walking around isn't exactly what I consider safe. There should at least be some padding or something blocking the path. Everything I wrote in the review is true. Instead of calling customers liars, go back and check your cameras in the play area again. My original review: If you have a toddler with autism, I would highly recommend against this place. I am really surprised that it has such a high score. Usually reviews are reliable. We took my 3 year old daughter who has slight autism here so she could check out a new place. They have you sign a liability waiver and I see why. The first thing I noticed is there are a lot of people packed into a tight area. The "gym" is about the size of our living room, maybe slightly bigger. There was a decent number of people in here for a small area. There are kids that are very young, and kids that look like they are close to entering middle school mixed together. They have a zip line, which is nice for older kids, but incredibly dangerous for kids that are toddler age. I would imagine most toddlers with autism cannot participate on the zip line, but easily could stumble into the path of it when an older kid takes off on it creating an incredibly dangerous situation. We had to keep moving our daughter away from the path that it travels as an older kid was riding it non-stop. They have a rock climbing wall, but I imagine it would be pretty hard to climb safely without shoes on (kids and adults have to remove shoes) as the parts that you step on to climb up are incredibly small compared to a normal rock climbing wall. They are about 1/4 of the size of the ones at Anderson Park, just for comparison. I just can't see how that would be comfortable for the child in the slightest. We were there for a whopping 4-5 minutes before an older kid bowled over my daughter and caused her to get hurt. She was sitting on the slide area and the kid just stepped on her and fell on her. Again, it seems like an incredibly bad idea to mix older kids with autism and toddlers with autism. $16 seemed like a fair price and the positive reviews had me excited to take her there. We left after only 4-5 minutes, $16 down the drain. I let the front desk person know this isn't a safe place for toddlers on the way out the door. They should have scheduled times for certain age ranges instead of mixing them all together. I can't think of any other establishment whether it be a daycare, school, therapy, etc where they mix kids of all age ranges together in small area with equipment that could cause possible injury.

I do like the size of the play area being a bit small so the kids are easier to spot. ZoomiZoomi is located on the second floor, right by Dick's Sporting Goods.

No matter how hard you try to Google map this location, the exact location won't show. The Google map will just show you that it is somewhere in the mall. Keep in mind that Del Amo Mall is a huge mall. We learned the hardware by parking 1/4 mile away. The way we found out is we had to look at a touch map inside the mall. It was quite confusing because the legend is not stationary, it rotates 180 degrees from your location. Always remember it is by Dicks Sporting Goods, nothing else. This place is hidden on the 2nd floor. It looks like a store. Deceiving looks from the outside. Arrived at this location which we were greeted for checkin under the birthday boys name. You must take off your shoes to enter, so make sure you have clean socks on. The other way is to wear some plastic booties, but it is frowned upon. That option is usually used as a last resort, like not wearing socks. The party was private, you can only have 1 party at a time. You self cater your food and drinks to the gathering. You can even bring a cooler with alcoholic beverages! Which is a plus for grown adults. Social and gathering with adult beverages males the conversation sweeter. This place is not like a chuckie cheese, it is more intimate with a core family since it is private. Its small so it may seem tight to move around. Place accommodates a jungle playground with plastic balls. Enough for the little ones to be entertained. There is one host that works there to assist with the games, food and photography (someones cellphone). That worker is very helpful. The other host works at the front counter for admission. Also you can even hire a character to visit and play games. Surprise appearance by Sonic! Woot woot! Overall, it is small and private. Good enough for 50 people. I will throw a small gathering here on a rainy day, cold or Superhot day only. There is nothing a public park cant provide that zoomi offers. Especially on a warm comfortable day. :) Lots of parking at the mall. Friendly helpful workers (only 2 of them). The 2 negative things is that stood out is removal of shoes and 1 restroom to use. Overall this place will get the job done to celebrate an ntimate birthday party. Fun fun ! Package pricing is unknown, I was not the host but assume it was a good deal since 90% of the party resources was purchased outside of the venue. Comfortable, cozy and small.

Before coming, I called the day before to ask about the timing and any restrictions. At no point was I told that my 6 year old daughter would not be allowed to enter during Toddler Hour. Had I been informed, I would have planned differently. When we arrived, my daughter was told she could not participate because she was too old. She was understandably disappointed and confused about why she was being excluded. We accepted the rule and decided we would sit together and do crafts while the younger children played. Surprisingly, we were then told she could not even enter the space with us. What I find most frustrating is the lack of practical consideration. The younger children were sold tickets and are not allowed to be left unattended, yet my older child was not permitted to remain with us. The policies seemed to contradict one another and left us in an impossible situation. I completely understand having age based rules and designated toddler play times. My issue is not the policy itself. My issue is that it was never communicated when I specifically called ahead to ask, and there was no effort made to find a reasonable solution once we arrived. The result was a very disappointed child and a family celebration that quickly turned stressful. On principle, I found the experience unsupportive and unnecessarily rigid. I left feeling disappointed by the customer service and the lack of empathy shown in handling what could have been a simple situation.
