From the reviews
Went today with my daughter who just turned four I have to say it’s pretty small but what’s there is absolutely beautiful and brand new! I feel as though if she was a year or more younger she would have had more fun. She did say a few times that the place was a little babyish and there isn’t that much to do.
Came from out of town with my 4yr old boy and 4.5 yr old daughter. They LOVED LOVED LOVED this place! The front staff was super friendly, the place was clean (VERY important to me). The owner came at the end and explained they had just expanded and she got it right! The place is amazing and just the right price!
Play Harbor is hands-down one of the best indoor play spaces around! It’s always spotless, smells great, and feels safe and welcoming every time we visit. My daughter has been coming since she was about 14 months old (she’s 21 months now), and she absolutely loves it.
Had an amazing time my kids love this place Melissa and her staff are always very accommodating. Very sensory friendly environment and always a struggle to get the kids to leave. They always have a blast. Have been visiting since its inception and has grown to amazing facility. Always clean and well kept.
Birthday parties at Play Harbor
Play Harbor 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.
Adaptive climbing
Play Harbor is mentioned for adaptive climbing or paraclimbing — sessions, equipment, or coaching that make the walls climbable for people with disabilities. Offerings like this vary a lot gym to gym and schedules change, so call ahead to ask what's available and when the next session runs.
