From the reviews
This place is so awesome! It’s super clean and so cute! My daughter loved every minute she was there. This is going to be a regular spot for me and my daughter (and future son) for the next few years! The location is also so perfect.
We had such a great time at Play Away, I can't say enough great things, it was so clean and staff was very friendly. My kids had a blast! We look forward to going back and hopefully getting passes in the future!!! Highly recommend!
We had my daughter's 4th birthday here. I picked the location due to holding private parties and not mixing with the public. It was our first time here and I deff will be back and book another party here.
We had my daughter’s third birthday party here today and it was the best experience! Our 10 guests (ranging from 5 months to 7 years old) all had a blast. We booked package 3 and it was worth every penny. The theme was exactly what we wanted (and we chose our own, “Go, Dog Go!”).
Birthday parties at Play Away Indoor Play Place
Play Away Indoor Play Place 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.
