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 all ages because we know that your older kids will interact with our space, too. We do also have an assortment of board games for kids who aren't interested in the playground. 


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. We really appreciate your purchases. :-)


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. Season Passes and Punch Cards.


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