If you have young kids you know how much work it is to take them out in public. You deserve to enjoy the party and your guests, too. At The Play Cafe our space is small and safe for smaller kids, but still entertaining enough for the bigger kids. All ages love our space! This is the most stress-free option in the Cedar Valley for parents of small kids. We think it's a no-brainer honestly. 


Also, check out our comparison chart below.


Absolutely! Everyone is welcome to come play. We charge admission for 9 months to 6 years. "Helper" kids are welcome to come play respectfully with their younger siblings at no cost. We have board games, and a PlayStation 3, with lots of game options, Coming Soon! 


We do not currently have the proper licensing to be a full cafe, but we do offer multiple pre-packaged drinks and snacks at fair prices. Hot and Iced Coffee and Water are always complimentary! 


Yes! We love hosting groups and have a few options. You can find them listed here. Group Rates


We appreciate pre-registrations, but know how hard it can be with small kids. Things change - quickly! With that being said, please don't let registration stop you from coming to see us. Many people walk-in and it is totally fine with us to do it that way. Special events may require registering beforehand, however. 


We do! Check out the options here. Memberships and Punch Cards.


We have details for parties listed here. Party Info. If you have additional questions please email Jen@thejenlife.com


Yes, We have not enforced this rule in the past, but have made some changes and we do now require grip socks be worn by every child entering our place space. Regular socks are required for adults. We offer shoe covers for those who can't remove their shoes. We also have kid size grip socks, and adult size regular socks, available for $3.50 each.


We are open Tuesday through Saturday 9am to 1pm for regular Open Play business hours. Outside of those hours we are always available for Private Bookings. Tuesday is $1.00 day!
