We are still getting used to MN winters and are discovering the phenomena of community centers and indoor playgrounds. We found this one when we got up today and decided to head over. Our son had a blast. There is plenty of playground equipment to climb on and over. There is a basketball court area as well as a soccer area with fake turf. There is also one of those bouncy pads for kids to toss themselves around on. There is also a separate play area for kids 2 and under, which is good, so you don't have to worry as much about them getting trampled.There is also an area with tables and chairs so you can bring in food and eat, take a break, or sit and read while your kids burn some calories.

Why didn't I find this place sooner? An indoor playground in Minnesota! Woo hoo! This is great for kids of all ages even those adult kids with little kids. Even my hubby (a big kid) was shooting hoops. My young son of 4 was loving the green, purple and blue playground. There a great trampoline area, a playground for climbers, a playground for little ones, soccer field and basketball court. Even a spot for a parent to chill with some snacks or a beverage while their kid is running around. Rules...no food or beverage while playing and no shoes. They have cubbies up front for jackets, shoes, etc. Totally recommend for those needing a place for their kids to be kids and get exercise especially in the winter climate!

One of the best indoor playgrounds in the metro area. No staff on site, pay online to get entry code. Clean. Rarely overcrowded.

We went here for a birthday party and it was great! There is a private room for the party where you can have food and cake. The rest of the space is open to play! There are areas for all ages, including under 1 year old. Multiple types of play including a bouncing area, climbing, music, basketball, soccer. There is also a cafeteria area where your family can eat. There are vending machines or you can bring outside food. Lots of parking outside as well. The area is kept clean. You keep shoes off to help with the cleanliness as well.

Not impressed. My daughter liked it but it was a little chilly and relatively dirty. The entire atmosphere was just kind of gross, not enough ventilation.

I came here with my kids on a chilly Sunday morning. You purchase tickets for the kids online, 2 adults get in with a kid. Once tickets are purchased, you are sent a pass code for the front door. It was pretty busy! When you first enter, there is a cubby area for all your jackets and shoes. In the main area are a couple different playgrounds, one for toddlers, the other for older kids. They had a few different play areas. There was a huge inflatable pillow to jump on that the kids loved. There was another area where the kids could play with foam blocks and construct things. There was also an area to play basketball and another area to kick balls. There was a small area for kids under two but I probably wouldn't bring a kid under 2 unless I had an older child too. There was also an area for picnic tables you could bring lunch and snacks there. The one thing I didn't like was lack of restrooms/stalls. With a place just for little kids, better have better bathrooms, my husband said the one urinal in the men's room was closed. Otherwise it was a great place to go on a cold day with kids to get all their pent up energy out! We were there for 2 hours and had to drag the kids out.

My 8 and 10 year old wanted to go here so badly since the one in Plymouth had closed. It's been a couple years so we thought we'd drive an hour to check it out. It was a nice facility but really aimed for younger kids. We only spent about 10 minutes there before my kids asked to go because they felt too big. I emailed the company about possibly getting my $28 back to no avail. They never bothered to respond to me. That kind of customer service puts a sour taste in my mouth. Hard to support that.

Great indoor play place for the kids. Toddler section is a little underwhelming, but that's typical for these places I think.

This place is OK. My group of 7 didn't like it as much as other locations.It is clean and well lit. There isn't nearly enough seating, especially since there was one group taking up 5 of the 9 tables hosting a party with cupcakes in the cafeteria area. There is Zero onsite supervision from the owners to prevent them, so why not be greedy.Additionally, the trampoline pillow was pretty deflated. My kids said it felt scary to jump.

Love this place. So perfect for cooler mornings for mamas too sit and work while feeling safe enough to let their kids run because it's an exposed locked double door entry space. It's so nice to sit and chill while my son runs off all his energy.
