My son was very pleased with The Playground vs other places. The establishment is very clean and the staff is very polite. Will be back again very soon. read more

My girls and I loved this place! The staff were so helpful and kind. The facility was so clean and organized. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The people that work there are amazing and really easy to get a long with and talk to about our kids. Also their facilities are very clean.

My daughter spent 2 hours here and enjoyed this playground pretty much, so we decided to bring her to this place every time we have free time. Good place for toddlers to play in. read more

My daughter loves this place! Fair pricing and snacks on demand. While my kid runs around, I relax in the massage chair. Staff is friendly and great with the upkeep. Many thanks to April and Britt for always being helpful and accommodating. Great overall place, I highly recommend! read more

Had our sons seventh birthday here. Great place we also have 3 younger children. We had his whole first grade class in there too. Emma and the other staff were great and very helpful. They helped us carry stuff in and out. We were able to bring our own food which was great. read more

Love this spot, great new amenities. The staff is so friendly and it's a great place to relax and let your kids play.

Great place to expend your tot's energy especially on hot summer days!! Plenty of bounce houses, toys, and ball pits. Kids have to wear grip socks but you can also purchase them for $3. Parents have to wear socks, there's tables and couches to relax and for snack time. The bathrooms are clean and I appreciate that they have a stool so my kiddo can reach the sink. You can also buy small snacks for a few dollars. Target next door is an extra plus so I can run my errands afterwards. read more

We thought this would be a safe space for our grandson. We paid for the membership. Every time we go there they try to charge me $18! I have to tell them I have a membership. It takes then several minutes to look it up?? Then they always ask how old he is!! This information should be looking them in the face! They should have to ask me if I have a membership. Also no ID, no pass. Nothing but their limited computers. The place is clean but not much to do. A lot of wasted space with old, unworkable items. It lacks toys in the smaller children area. Also my grandson has been slapped and kicked and the staff does nothing about it! Bad kids should be told to go home and think about it! I'm sure all you care about is the bottom line! Money, cash and money. Do us a favor and hire someone to walk around and oversee the children as they play. If my grandson gets hit one more time I'm calling the police. I'm suing the company as well as the parents of the child that hurt him!' My husband is going to film his playtime there. From now on!! Parents beware! As soon as this membership has expired we will find a better child's indoor playground., read more

Must buy THEIR socks only. Even if I came prepared. $4?! It shows their true ethics of lack of valuing their customer , specially during these times where everything is expensive. The owner should be ashamed for exploiting costs to families. read more

Just took my son here. He loved it. There is so much to do and your child will never get bored. The place was clean. The staff was very friendly, also very young. There was an incident where an older kid punched a young girl in the jaw, and then the same kid ended up slapping my 3 year old in the face. This was brought to the staff's attention but nothing was done. There should be a list of children's name if someone complains about them and then if they receive so many complaints they get suspended and/of 'banned' from the place (or something along those lines). I understand kids could be rowdy but this kid was excessive. He was harassing other children there, also. Besides that incident it was a great experience and we will be back. read more

So I never do this... But here goes because I believe in principal and integrity and valuing your customers, and this place has none of that. First of all, let's talk about the prices to get in. Initially it was $15 then they raise it to 16 and then they raise it to 22. Sorry, but this place is not worth $22 just to get in. They don't clean well and their bathrooms are covered in kid pee. Maybe have your workers focus more and cleaning the bathrooms instead of just walking around with a vacuum the whole time. It doesn't need more vacuuming you need the urine in the bathroom cleaned up. On the topic of your employees... You should hire more than snotty 20-year-old college people who have major attitude problems. But that's the least of their worries. This place is the most greedy and money hungry place you could imagine. Not only did they raise it just to walk in the front door. Now you have to buy their grippy socks with the special logo on it. They're old socks prior to August don't even count, but the only difference is it actually has their logo on it. I also have grippy socks that I bought off of Amazon, that every other place accepts... But this place will not. And my grippy socks are superior to their shitty ones. They try to have adults by one time you only socks just to be there with your child. Do yourself a favor spend the extra money for gas and drive the 24 minutes to either play city in Chula Vista, or go to Funbelievable in Lakeside. Go to the trampoline park in Poway, which has multiple discounts if you buy online tickets and as long as you have goopy socks, they don't care where they're from, this place needs to be shut down because of how horrendous it treats human beings. Their policies, their demeanor, and they're attitude alone screams that they care about money and money alone, which they're obviously making a ton of all they wanna do is raise pieces and force you to spend more money on socks than you need to. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS and DONT FEED INTO THEIR MANAGMENTS POCKETS. read more

I usually don't have an issue with this place but as of recently there's a new employee who walks around filming children, doesn't ask for permission, it makes me extremely uncomfortable. read more

I'm done coming here. The staff is rude about their socks rules. And for some reason now adults need grip socks? I'm sitting down and not running around. I have no patience for people talking to me like that when the price to come here is this high. read more

Such a fun playground for kids, when it was a rainy cold day I took my 5 & 3 year old here and they had a blast! There's a ball pit, trampoline and foam area, play house , play kitchen , play tools, about 10 power wheels area to play with, bounce house slide, ahh man heaven for kids ;) Moms the best part is they come around cleaning the toys every once in a while with sanitary wipes Bring socks for all family members and snacks, food can be eaten at there picnic area, we will definitely be back soon read more

I've seen criticism of "why take kids here when we live in beautiful San Diego, take kids outside instead. I'm pretty sure such criticism are by people who have no kids. There is a thing called rain! And most playground equipment gets too hot to use in the middle of the day! The Playground is GREAT for those times. My main sleight criticism is that it can get VERY crowded. Other than that, this is the perfect place to take kids to run around Tip: bring a friend for your kid. Places like this are always more fun to share with a companion. read more

I want to like this place more than I do. I love the idea, but for the cost, there seems to be a lot lacking. The motorized vehicles are rarely kept charged, the toddler areas toys (houses and fake food etc) are always missing pieces or not well stocked. The only consistently fun thing for my 2 year old to do is the bouncy obstacle course. I was talked into buying a 10 visit booklet and have only gone maybe 3-4x. read more

Great place- bring your family I highly recommend you to enjoy it I truly think it's a fun and safe place Mayson and Alicia are super helpful and professional read more

I love this place. Been coming here for a couple years with my son and friends. We've always had a good experience with the various bouncey house, ball pits, and more... With everything closing and kids being out of school from the coronavirus its nice that this place is keeping its doors open. I've noticed that the staff have really stepped up their efforts to disinfect the place. I don't think any of the staff members stopped wiping things down once (unless they were checking a family in). It makes me very comfortable as a parent to know this place cares for the health and safety of my son. Thank you playground! read more

My son loves this place so much, I always buy the vip pass which is 10 visits for $130 rather than $18 regular entry price. The staff always keep the place super clean and disinfected. read more

Love taking my son here he always has so much fun and it's very clean. I've recommended my friends to bring their kids here and they all love it read more

We celebrated my daughters 3rd birthday here and the kids had a blast! We love the indoor playground. So much to do for kids all ages.

My adventures son love to come to this indoor playground. Staff is nice and I see them cleaning toys constantly. They have a nice variety of things to do like a bell pit jumper and inflatable slides. Plenty of sitting for parents and wifi. read more

Loved this place for one and a half year old. So many things to do! Will definitely be back!

Great place!!! Got a 2 year old and this places allows him to run around for hours and burn off all the energy!!! It is great that you can leave and come back, we can go over and get lunch and come back and play a bit longer!!! They also have a monthly subscription that my daughter is going to take advantage of. Staff are friendly. DO WATCH YOUR KIDS!!! They do the best they can up front but I watched kids going out that front gate when it was open and people were coming and going. Snacks are very reasonably priced!!! read more

I just had a non-private party at the playground and while everything was accommodated, they did not notify me in advance that they required 'on brand' grippy socks. All my guests that brought grippy socks ended up having to pay for them which was a total rip off. read more

Okay I took the grandkids to the playground in grossmont. We stopped off to get a pizza from Costco. When we tried to enter the play area, they refused to let the pizza come in. Calling it a party food. As I surveyed the area, I noticed there were other people with pizza boxes. Their reasoning given, they were small boxes. Really cause I have three kids here. As we were discussing the issue another person entered with a small pizza box. Feeding a large family is now considered a party. So the pizza can come in without the box. read more

Great place for kids! My kiddo loves it every time we come. They make you pay for their organization socks it's only $4 but if you write a review the socks are free read more

My girls love coming here. So much for them to do and play with, they especially love the ball pit and bounce houses. It is always clean and they have a lot of snacks available for purchase, with designated eating areas. We come about every other week and the last time we visited Brit was so kind and helpful. read more

The Playground has a wide variety of spaces, toys, contraptions and activities for lots of different ages. And it does appear to be fairly clean and tidy for the most part (although we know there are germs on all the kids who come in, mine included). I will say that the #1 reason that I'm hesitant to return is the LACK OF SUPERVISION. Parents will just let their kids run rampant and wild, and plop their butts on the nice comfy couches and be on their phones the whole time! Meanwhile, your wild 6-year old is bulldozing my little ones, and you have no FRICKIN clue! Not to mention kids whose parents aren't vigilant are sometimes cutting in line / not taking turns, etc... throwing balls out of the ball pit AT OTHER CHILDREN, and again-- the parents have no idea because they've just brought their kids here to play.. sit in an air conditioned space, and be on their phones, or gossip without being with their children. I would like there to be signage that parents need to be more vigilant of their children, and for this to be enforced (like staff talking to parents or kicking them out if they're not supervising properly) because honestly, it's the other out-of-control kids who make it so I don't want to return. read more

celebrated my daughters birthday party here and it was awesome! will be coming back again soon!

Super confused by the high reviews. Maybe it used to be great? The little play houses are spaced terribly! I saw multiple kids get hurt due to the spacing. The toddler area should have a separation gate. Two reasons. Every try to contain a two year old without a gate? Also... too many unsupervised older kids crossing over. The trampoline space needs to be monitored. As a former gymnastics coach, I am shocked nobody has gotten seriously injured and y'all haven't gotten sued. Small children bouncing with adults. It's madness! Generally, kept clean (hence the two stars, instead of one). They had to close off the toddler area while I was there to clean the balls due to an accident. Definitely inconvenient to have half the area blocked off, but nice to see them thoroughly cleaning. Honestly, super disappointed in what this place COULD be. Great location, great price, great idea... poor LAZY execution. read more

Excellent play ground.. friendly staff.. clean place.. definitely recommend My two years old baby boy loved it read more

My kids love this indoor playground. They keep it very clean, which I appreciate. The battery operated cars are always running out of juice though and don't seem to be charged often, which is what my bigger kiddos really want to do. Younger kids (-3) would still have a blast regardless of the cars. My biggest complaint is the price - to pay for 2 kids and purchase nonslip socks it cost $40... that seems like a lot to me for a small indoor playground. At that price we will definitely only come for special occasions. read more

When I found this place I hit the jackpot! I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old; therefore finding things that will entertain both of them can be tough. Fortunately, there are activities for both of my children to enjoy here at The Playground. There's a ball pit area for children that I was a bit skeptical about, but I saw them take out a special machine that cleans out the balls which I was pretty happy about. Im overall satisfied with the cleanliness of this place, as well as the variety of activities there are for children to play with. If looking for a place to bring your little ones, this is definitely the spot to bring them. read more

My almost 2 year old had a blast here. I've been looking for something like this for him for some long. He's soooo high energy! I had to trick him into leave as well stayed until close and he wasn't going to be happy about leaving, haha. He was nearly 2 the first time that we went, so he was considered a "non-walker" and paid a reduced fee. I do think it's a little pricey, BUT they allow you to come and go throughout the day for the one price, that's a pretty good deal. We are going back for his birthday on the 11th as I know he will love it. What I really loved is that there's a separate area for smaller kids (2 and under, but not my kind of 2 year old). He would've loved that when he was learning to walk. I love that there's consideration for parents and those big comfy couches everywhere. There's also snacks (nothing really healthy, but chips, cakes, cookies and such) also juices and water available for purchase. They have free wifi, a tv and even an xbox for older kids. We'd make this a bi-monthly trip! read more

Today was our first visit here and I'm glad that we found a kid friendly place for our 2 year old while it rained outside. We've been to many indoor play areas back home in Irvine and this place was just ok. My issue isn't with what toys or games are available for kids- my main issue is cleanliness, sanitation and security. There isn't a check in or check out method where parents and kids are matched upon exiting. Today is a very busy day and only 2 ladies are at the front desk. It's great that tables are provided to enjoy snacks, however they are very sticky. From our experience at other indoor play areas there is at least 1 person cleaning and sanitizing unused toys. Thankfully socks are required so the hand foot and mouth disease isn't easily spread. All the kids are having fun which is the most important feature of this indoor play area. I just have a few suggestions to improve upon. Oh and I'm surprised that this place doesn't charge for parents. Every other place I've been to charges parents which, I'll admit I hate, but the facility is always clean and top notch. read more

I took my little man here for the first time recently and it was amazing! We got there around 1 pm and stayed till 5 when it got a little too crazy for us. The women working were super friendly and sweet and on top of their jobs! The place was clean and organized! There are kids and adults snacks available at the counter and they're super cheap! We definitely would have been there longer if the other parents had been responsible and watched their children, some were taking the toddler cars onto the slides, crashing into each other, trying to take them on the kangaroo jump pad, scratching each other, running into the tables and chairs with the giant car thing that supposedly stops if things are within 4 feet. So all in all, great place, parents need to watch their kids, and go earlier! read more
