If you are entertaining toddlers and need a some safe fun, Yu Kids is a good option inside the Woodfield Mall. On Tuesdays, they offer a $10 special for an hour of play. My granddaughter seemed to really enjoy the colorful bouncy balloons and well padded climbing structures. There were activity puzzles on the wall. The kids were required to have an adult present and wear socks. There are cubbies for shoes. There are places for the adults to sit and even have newspaper to read. The clerk was friendly and checked to make sure we were having fun. She was 5 star. There is a snack bar. And restrooms available. They offer birthday party programs and more. An hour was perfect. read more

We went to this place and they canceled my nieces 5th birthday party bc we asked them to have a heart to let her cousin play who was only an inch over the 48inch limit. Instead of accommodating or having a discussion. The young women decided to power trip and called security to kick us out and cancel my nieces birthday. We already agreed it was fine that my daughter who was over the limit was not allowed in there. But they still wanted to power trip and ruin my nieces birthday. On top of that they would not refund us the money!! Stay away from this place at all cost! Update : The owners were not present during this incident. So the owner and their employees are obviously fabricating details about the incident. In response to the owner, the owner is a liar. I never swore at the girl when they said my daughter could not enter. There was no argument, just a request to make an exception. They refused, and We immediately left and returned much later. The owner is a liar and a cheat. They made no effort to resolve this issue other than to believe their lying employees. These people are scammers who Do not know how to treat customers. I standby my review Avoid this place at all cost read more

Great place. My 2 year old loves to come here and play while my wife shops. The place is clean and fun

It is a top notch play area for children to be able to play on their own. Bright and colorful and so fun. We have taken our grandchildren who are 4 yers of age and they LOVE it. Keeps them busy for hours. Comfortable chairs for adults. read more

Great place, I would highly recommend it for toddlers. My 4 year olds lasted just under an hour so I'm not sure if this is a good option for any kids older although at the entry I was Told it was great for kids up to 6-8 Overall no complaints, it was nice - lots of colors and great music read more

Where do I begin. This place needs repair, cleaning and better staff. It was so gross from the floor to the ceiling. Everything was dirty or ducked taped as repair. Overpriced and staff spent more time on their phones then actually working. Was walking out with full hands, 2 kids, and a stroller and the front girl opened the gate an inch and went back to her phone. I literally was so annoyed I slammed the gate fully open with my stroller. Never again. read more

Terrific, fun, and safe place for kids. Reasonably priced, no charge for adults. It's clean, with lots of padding in case kids fall. Parents can watch from outside the play area while working or relaxing with a free cup of coffee. Would highly recommend this place. read more

A cute play area in the mall, we were delighted to see it! Our girl enjoyed the rotating play machines and the slides! The area was clean and bright. She's close to growing out of the play area, so we likely will not be able to experience this place again. read more

We came here for the first time and I was a bit disappointed. My daughter is 2 1/2 and she only lasted like an hour because there just wasn't enough for her. I understand it's made for smaller kids, but she is still young and the moving features were just way too slow. Also, the conditions of the equipment were kinda sad. I was lucky to have gotten a Groupon, but I would have been real upset to have spent over $20 for that. For that price, things should look a lot better, but there was duct tape on a bunch of things and pad coverings falling off of other things. There was also no one working at the snack counter, so we could've just taken anything and left, but had to go to the front to pay and there is also supposed to be free coffee, but there wasn't. I think either a major remodel needs to happen or prices need to be cut by at least 1/2. read more

Fun safe place for toddlers to play. Love this place. Facility is clean, staff is great. read more

Very disappointed and quite frankly angry that Jubbia the manager wouldn't let my kids, 7 and 8 year olds to play despite purchasing their 10 pack pass last year. Apparently there is a height requirement that makes them not qualified to play... what?! So dare your skinny kids 1 inch over 48" have a growth spurt because they ll just steal your money! And Won't offer a refund either! She told me to try to sell it to sone one else lol! Bad business and will be reporting to BBB to get my refund one way or another. Sad because we were regulars until we moved a few suburbs over. Wasted the drive over, very disappointed kids AND OUT OF $75! read more

I have celebrated my son's birthday here 2 years ago and I really enjoyed this place. Package price was less than everywhere else plus let us bring our own food for no fee. But when I can few weeks ago there with my youngest kids I was shocked with the amount of dust they have on the ceiling and it's about to fall on your head. That's what kids are breathing there with. Plus this place needs a clean up, a good one. Or remodeling. read more

Coolest spot for Kids 2-6 years old, my kid loves it and enjoys it very much. They clean 3 times a day seen it with my own eyes, unlimited play for $20 or 10 an hour on Tuesdays. They also sell goodies Incase your littles get thirsty or want to munch. read more

This is a place (and equipment) that looks good from far. But once you get a little closer the equipment is ripped, stained, badly beaten up, has holes, and appears dirty. This place needs an update and things need to be reupholstered. . I went here about a year and half ago and it wasn't as bad. A that time only a few things were in "okay" shape. It was $21 to enter and it wasn't cheap to enter but they should take sometime in do some updating. Also things are broken too. The "water slide" and the Spinning circle thing were broken. My child had a good time reguardless but as a parent these are the things i noticed. I dont expect tip-top shape as children are hard on equipment. read more

My 4 year old has a great time there! We always buy the pass deal because it's so worth it! The workers are always cleaning and I think the equipment is in good shape. Obviously there's wear and tear, there's kids jumping all over stuff like 9 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is a height requirement: under 48 inches unless you're a sibling of a little one. Be aware of that. And to be honest, it should. This equipment is for little kids, 8 and 10 year olds are too big to playing on this kind of stuff with smaller kids. Also, it has a great area for parents to hang out and sit. It has a counter to watch them. I come here often to work while my son plays. Good free wi-fi too! They have a little snack bar that sells snacks and drinks. It does get pretty crowded on weekends and some evenings. It's the perfect size for little kids too. Not too big where you can't see them from the counter. My son always has a great time here so we're regulars! Highly recommend! read more

Got crazy kids? Take them to Yu Kids Island. It's the perfect place for Kids Gone Wild and allows them to burn off energy. I came here for a birthday party and it was the perfect place for toddlers. Here are some things to note: 1. Admission is $12 a child but parents are free. Discounted rate is available after 4pm. 2. Socks are required since no shoes are allowed. No socks no service. 3. The staff are very kind and helpful. They were constantly monitoring the kids or cleaning the areas to prevent germs. 4. Your kid will fall but there is plenty of padding all around. I didn't see any blood stains anywhere. 5. Watch your kids because fights can occur especially from older kids. 6. Beware of overly aggressive monsters and inattentive parents. 7. Your child will pass out afterwards from exhaustion so have a bottle of wine ready. 8. Adults with no children of their own will restock their birth control after coming to Yu Kids Island. read more

My twins just had their 4th Birthday party at Yu Kids Island and it was just amazing! Granted, this was one of the busiest days to have a party with 5 back to back parties, our guests had a blast. The play area is top notch, way better than any toddler place we had ever been too (and we have been to a lot)! There was a playroom malfunction and yet the staff went far and beyond to make us have a successful party. We were at Room 3, which was one of the older rooms, you don't need anything much to decorate the place, it's very nice! We ordered Papa John's through them and it came hot and ready to eat. The best part of all was the mascots! I highly suggest you book your next party here if you want a smooth, fun and relaxing party! Again props to Caroline, Ola and the whole crew! read more

Came here after the rain forest cafe. Clever to be right across from it. Customer Service: Decent. Lady signed us in, you sign waiver. Only have to pay for child. Cons: Can get crowded. Germs, not sure how they clean but my 2 year old daughter when in the small balloon part, found candy in there, and put in her mouth. (quickly before we could grab her or the candy) They should have people checking regularly for stuff like that. Another con, big kids and little kids can get rough. Daughter got knocked down twice, because kids are running, jumping, screaming every which way. They're parents just watch from a distance or go on their phones. Oh, and parents can't go in certain sections. So your kid can get trampled if you let them go in with rowdy kids. Not cool! PROS: My daughter loved it. She really burned some energy off there. Her face was so red (as many other kids) from running around all over the place. Kids can cool off in the balloon sections where the balloons fly everywhere, cuz there is fans in there. Nice. You can walk with the kid, but just not go in certain sections. I had to buy socks. $2. Always carry socks with you people! Wouldn't come back unless I was in the mall. Great place for children to run off energy. Being water for your kids! They will be THIRSTY!!! ( or they offer snacks and drinks there) read more

My child spends a good hour or two here. She loves this place! I like how clean this place is. It's not as busy and clutter like most play areas we've been to. The atmosphere is very kid friendly, as it should be. Very bright and clean. $15 entrance fee might seem a lot, but it's actually good for the entire day. I actually grabbed a good deal from Groupon. We are looking forward to having my child's birthday party here next month. Will update more on that. In addition, this place is only for kids under 48in. Perfect play place for toddlers. Tip: bring socks. They are $2 at the door if you need them. read more

My kids love coming here to play! There are always Groupons available or they have $5 hour play on Tuesdays. The whole play area is well padded, so I don't have to worry about my kids hurting themselves on the equipment. Some of the equipment is high, so I do stay with my two year to help him climb on some of them. My four year can do everything here on her own. I also appreciate that the play area has a wall around it so my kids won't run out! My only suggestion is more bathroom facilities. My child really had to use the bathroom and since the two were occupied, we had to wait a little bit. Since it is a facility for young kids, many whom might be potty training, this can be problematic. read more

I didn't really know what to expect when I came in but had heard good things so we made the haul up to Woodfield to check this place out. I think what separates it from most of the playrooms we've been to is that there's no toys here. A lot of places have set ups similar to a preschool classroom with dress up areas and pretend play, etc. But Yu Kids is a great place to just exercise and develop those gross motor skills. Lots of things to climb on, lots of slow merry-go-rounds to jump on and ride. My boy had a great time and I'm pretty sure we'll be back soon. It's $12 to play on weekends and $10 on weekdays. I'm pretty sure I heard the cashier say that once you buy the wristband, you can come back all day. We were in on St. Patrick's Day and they were giving $2 off for kids who were wearing green. Score! I also saw a special for $30 for play drop off on the weekends for parents who want to shop without the monsters. Sounds like a decent deal. read more

Awesome place for kids. It's bright well lightened and colored. The floor is of soft rubber material. The place has inflated jumping areas, spinning balls, water bed, hoping balls and so on. My kids enjoys this place each and every time we visit. She must be having the same feeling as a adult going to brewery. Lol. Socks are must in play area for supervising adults as well as children. They have socks for sale for a dollar in case you forget to wear. You will find Yu Kids Groupon deals every now and then. Its a good deal. One time admission is $12. With five visit pass on Groupon it comes to somewhere around $6 per visit. read more

We hosted my sons birthday party at your playground on Sunday 1st. Overall, 3 years are easily pleased and enjoyed their day! However, it was a very disheartening experience for my husband and I. I arrived at the store around 10 20 as I was told I can be let in at 10 30 to set up. The store associate did not open the store until after 11. I had to rush and bring things in from the car which half of my cookies had melted due to being in the car in the heat and all of our drinks were warm. The party room was dirty with sticky floors. I had to wipe down the tables and put down the chairs. We did not receive any pizza for the kids and supplies. We had to order pizza and had it delivered. Only table covers and a few plates were provided, the associate went out and gathered forks and knives during the party after I asked a few times. I reached out to the store manager over a week ago and have not received a call or email. Very disappointed in the lack of communication. read more

Great place for toddlers. Most of their equipment is ripped, unfortunately. Good for a couple of hours of play .

My son loves playing here and I love taking him. We spend hours here, easily. There is an entry fee but Groupons can be found. It can get a little crowded on weekends, but not too bad. Everything is padded. The staff are walking around cleaning constantly. Lots of areas to climb, bounce, run, and play. Children's music (like nursery rhymes) is played through the speakers. One time, they had characters come out to visit with the kids - a "Baby Shark" and "Marshall"-like character. There's a seating area for parents to watch. There's a little cafe with snacks and tons of candy, but I haven't tried anything. They also can host kids parties. Staff has always been kind. read more

I understand that kids over a certain height can't be in there. But I can't understand how they let the adults watch over and my oldest couldnt watch my lil one. My oldeat weighs a lot less than I do. Plus me going up and down and being pregnant was kind of hard and that is why i had my oldest help Also, it seemes like it was only towards us since there was another family that had their oldest watch their youngest ans nothing was said to them. That is why I prefer Ball Factory which parents or kids of any height can go up and down. Plus its the same price and their is no time limit. The other thing that really got me was the way the girl talked to me. Especially since she was a lot younger than me. read more

Love this place ! We just had our daughter'sbirthday party here and they were amazing! The place was clean , the kids enjoyed playing here a lot , the staff was great ! Thank you for a great experience read more

I really liked this place, brought my son (2 Year Old) here and he loved it. there was a lot for him to do. overall the place was clean, price was decent, you can buy snacks, and there is an area for parents to sit and chill. definitely will be back. read more

This WAS a great place to take my children. I just went last week with them and everything was great they had so much fun! They always have...until today. I went with the girls right before closing time. They didn't care if they would've been there all day or for just a half hour. They were so excited, then the employee ruined their day by saying they needed to be 48" or under. She took my tallest daughter and stood her next to the measuring stick and she was 49"! Looked at me as if I were an idiot, right after I had told her we were here last week and didn't have a problem with it. They had NEVER brought this up before. My daughters are so upset that they will never be able to get in again and they couldn't tell even enjoy it for one last day. read more

My kids (2 years and 7 months) HAD A BLAST!!! I just wish they had more food options and cleaned more often. There was only one girl cleaning, hosting, and working the front and back end. But the kids had an amazing time. Will be back again and again! read more

This place is in the mall, so obviously its a little small. Although I thought the best part was they put wristbands on all the kids to make sure none escape without their parents, but when we left, no one checked us. So what's the point? It is small though, so I felt like I could let the kids run around and if they were completely out of sight, I didn't panic. Other than completely leaving, there aren't many places they could go. I think it's a great place if you're out of ideas and need something to do with the kids. It had been raining for days, so I took the boys here and we were able to run around and get out of the house. It was perfect for that. (possibly the best part, is there is a Rainforest Cafe right across from this place and the kids loved going after they were tired and hungry.) read more

AWFUL EXPERIENCE trying to book a party here! I am appalled at how they handled my inquiry and how they eventually cancelled my party because one of their employees made a mistake. I initially spoke to an associate who confirmed my daughter's Friday night party and all was well. I sent invites to all the guests and received confirmation from them. The manager, Caroline, calls me the next day to tell me that they can no longer accommodate my request and asked if I wanted to move the party up to another time (which would require me and all my guests' parents to take time off of work). I asked the manager how something like this could have happened when the associate CONFIRMED the date and time with me just a day before. She replied crassly that that's not how it works and since I didn't give them my LivingSocial voucher number (which I offered to the associate during the initial booking) that nothing was set in stone. Basically, she was very unapologetic for the entire debacle and offered no consolation except "I'll talk to my employee." I am completely turned off by them & will make sure to share this negative experience with all my guests/fellow parents. Get your customer service skills in check! read more

Love this place. Ive been bringing my daughter here for over a year. Great for all ages. Shes two now so she can explre on her own. Great groupn deals usually and if there are none, staff will tell you about deals on other sites. Friendly staff, clean play area, safe, and fun for all ages. Bathrooms are kind of gross but i avoid them anyway. Just remember to bring socks for kiddos and yourself (in case you need to chase the little ones). read more

This place is the pits. There are SO many cleaner, more stimulating, better managed play places in the area. I took my 16 month old here, and we will not be back. The equipment is dirty and very worn. There are areas where there is thin or no matting on hard surfaces and edges. Parents are NOT watching their kids and let them run totally wild. I had to step in and ask several other kids to please be careful around smaller children in the DESIGNATED area for LITTLE kids because they were running through, knocking kids over, and throwing things around. Equipment was broken and missing pieces. It's way too expensive for a lackluster experience. read more

Took my 4 year old niece to Yu Kids after eating at the the Rainforest Cafe. She had a blast! I really only wanted to be there for 30 mins, but she kept asking to stay a little bit longer. 1.5 hours later, we were still there. Unfortunately, she lives out of state, so all her new friends were sad to hear that she wouldn't be back anytime soon. I really liked the free wifi and coffee and I thought that everything was very reasonably priced. No buyers remorse here. read more

Not recommended for everyone especially fo a special kids. My daughter is only 8 and just want to play & enjoy, they didn't allow her because of her height, but we'd seen much taller than her though, it breaks my heart, stuffs and manager are very racist, lacked of empathy, very rude. read more

I came here as a play date with some of my friends and I have to say although it was crowded at 11am, by 12:30pm the place was pretty empty. My 1 year old son LOVED (LOVED LOVED LOVED) the balloon room. He couldn't get enough and was throwing a small tantrum when we had to leave the room when the bigger kids came and started knocking him down. My 2.5 year old daughter also liked the balloon room and the turning spiral. There wasn't that much she really enjoyed but we kept her busy and running around. Not the absolute best play room and I would definitely never pay full price but I did think that it was great for the price I paid using groupon. Towards the back of the play area there is a small concession stand. Cash only, with a minimum of $5 for credit card transactions. This is where they always jab you in the gut with crazy prices. I would have liked to see more workers making sure everyone was abiding by the rules. Especially when it's super busy, there's no workers to tell the big kids not to run all over (or even parents for that matter) and having a 1 year old walker isn't very fun when you're trying to make sure he's not getting trampled by the older kids. read more

This is a pretty nice place to take the kids. The first time I went, my little one was barely walking. We had to stick to the one corner that is designated for babies. It costs $10 to $12 (depending on the day) to go in, so I wouldn't recommend it for babies. I went back when my daughter was a toddler and she had a blast. It's clean and there is usually one worker walking around making sure all is well and no one is misbehaving. There is a good variety of fun things for the kids to do, like spinning merry-go-round style rides, balloon rooms, inflatable slides etc. I like that they have benches inside that parents can sit on and watch the little ones play. Or the stools next to the coat hooks also provide a nice viewing vantage point to keep one eye open, yet still relax with a friend. I believe there is a groupon available too if anyone is interested. read more

Meh. After months of temporary closing due to construction of the Woodfield Mall Food Court (directly above Yu Kids Island), this place re-opened with 2 new things: 1) Bigger party room 2) Higher entrance fee ($15 per child!) The playground equipment were the same. No changes/upgrades. No, thank you. There are cheaper indoor children's playground nearby: 1) Indoor playground by Macy's = free 2) Kids' Art & Cafe in Schaumburg, IL = $10 3) Kids' Club & Party in Hoffman Estates, IL = $10 read more
