The Fun Playce

About

Older children play at the front and little ones at the back, and that single decision does more for this place than any piece of equipment in it, because the two groups stop colliding. The toddler section is fenced and properly stocked with a play kitchen, blocks and a train area. The bigger space behind it has slides, climbing, and a zip line that shows up in reviews as somebody's first.

It is owner-run and that shows in small ways: seasonal events regulars plan around, outside drinks allowed, a monthly membership, and a cheaper weekday rate for anyone coming often. Reviewers are strikingly consistent about two things — how clean it is, and the size. Big enough to wear out a four-year-old, small enough that one parent working at a table could watch her son move between every area without standing up. The gap is for the adults: there is no cafe, only a vending machine. There is Wi-Fi and there are tables, though, and it has quietly become somewhere people bring a laptop. One to six is the range.
