Wesley Playground at White’s Chapel

This place offers all the best in life in one venue. Christian atmosphere, coffee shop, children's playground, lending library... all things necessary to regain your sanity and/or meet up with friends.

This is my least favorite of the free indoor playgrounds around. Now let's be real, I'm in no position to be picky. Two months ago I was living 1500 miles away where "free indoor playground" was a string of words so delicious, so fantasmic, that my heart skipped a beat the first time I heard them uttered.But with five rambunctious kids and some rain, I've spent a good amount of time exploring the indoor playground scene here in the dfw. One's bound to make comparisons.Beyond the simple fact that it's free, the pros to this play area are:1. Good hours (open every day, I think!)2. Small area for babies3. Large structure for older kids4. Glassed in play structure5. Cafe with inexpensive drinks6. Plenty of seating7. Free WiFiNot all the church indoor playgrounds are open everyday or for as long as Wesley Playground, but most do hit the other points on the list.The primary reason this is my least favorite indoor playground is the OVERWHELMING smell of potpourri in the play area. The whole church smells like an air wick, but I think they must pump it in on high through the heater vents in the play area and bathrooms. It's nauseating. Frankly, between the smell, the hard plastic chairs and cafeteria tables, the place screams "retirement home". I wasn't surprised to see a few wheelchairs in the corner by the front entrance.I'm still immensely grateful that the church has created a space like this and offered free access to the public, but unless they take that smell down a notch I don't think we will be back.

I met some friends here to let our kids play. It's free, air conditioned, and a decent size. There's a little cafe just outside the play area that sells relatively inexpensive snacks and drinks. The only thing I don't love is that they're pretty strict on their no food/drink policy, which includes water, so kids are constantly in and out to grab a drink of water.

Nice indoor play area for children. Very clean and easy to keep eyesight on children.

Clean safe place for kids to play Nice coffee shop with healthy snack choices Highly recommend
