What climbers say again and again
“VERY COLD Very nice place for my 18-month-old baby, clean and nice, although very cold, it is important to be in socks to keep clean, but my feet froze.”
“Decent vending machine, sink, coffee machine, drinking fountains, cubbies for shoes and coats.”
“Reasonable prices and nice that all adults can get in free.”
From the reviews
I love this play center!! I have been to my fair share of play areas and this is by far the best. It’s affordable and offers great membership opportunities. I love how it’s “self served” and doesn’t have a parent fee you just pay for the child unlike most places.
Very well kept!! Bathrooms are clean and offer many supplies if you forget yours. Lots for the little ones to do. I love how convenient this is and how it’s geared towards younger kids/babies as a lot of the other indoor playgrounds are a bit too big and a lot geared more towards older kids!
This was such a fun place for my toddler to play in. We spent a good 2.5 hours here! They have things to climb, toys, little tricycles to ride around in. I also loved the little kitchen like area to have your lunch at.
This place is amazing! We went for the first time today, even though it was crowded there was plenty of space. Tons of toys for kids of all different stages of toddlerhood, comfy couches for parents, a little area for crawlers that's separate from the toddlers but you can still see while you follow your toddler…
Birthday parties at Little Playdate
Little Playdate hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
