My Play Cafe - Gardner

Visited today with my 2.5 year old, and joined some friends with ages 1.5-6. This was my first experience with a pay-to-play location for kids and I will definitely return. First, before you go, you sign up and pay for a two hour time slot on their website. This helps keep it from overcrowding. 1 adult is free with each kid. You'll also have to sign a waiver online once you pay. (we watched a family come in who didn't know this, and the person working was extremely kind and helped walk them through how to do it; she also let them stay for the next session, which seemed very accommodating.)Bring your own socks for the kids AND adults, or buy a pair there (they were very cute, honestly!) Because it is a new location, the toys, puzzles, climbing structure, etc were all in great condition and offered so many options for each age group. There is also an infant area that is separated from the main play area but still allows you to see everything. It's not a huge space, but there was plenty of room for our group of 5 kids and 3 adults plus a few other families , with a variety of places to sit or to eat a snack or get a drink from their reasonably priced snack bar. It is peanut free.

A new indoor play area for kids - with coffee and GroundHouse baked goods for adults! You need to reserve your time in advance since they book up quickly. Fun, friendly environment and you can also host birthday parties here.

Had my daughters 2nd birthday there and 2 girls were no help at all and acted like didn't want to be there, will be going to Lee's summit location from now on
