MiniSota Play Cafe

This is a super cute spot! So many different areas to play in, our toddler had a blast! Didn't seem super crazy busy. We both enjoyed our coffee and appreciated the distraction! Our only qualm is that they charge for adults too - but we understand with it being a nice place to sit and watch the kids play, there would be a mob of parents otherwise!

The whole place is very dangerous. Concrete floors for kids??? It was nerve racking to keep a five year old and a toddler from running because the risk of falling was so high. A jail for little kids was weird. The musical room had no microphone so it was a stand by a stage. The gyms stationary bike was missing a peddle, so no child could ride it. The parents would let their kids load up groceries from the store in carts and remove them making it no fun in the grocery store for other kids. No fireplace in cabin room like shown on webpage. For the price not worth it.

It's just okay for me, $18 plus tax just to walk in the door ... for two hours. $13 for under 9 yrs. $5 per adult. ... even more if you forget to have kiddo wear 'grippy' socks. I get the why, but make sure to budget well especially if you have to drive a bit. I expected it to smell a little worse than it did considering it caters to five and under, for that I have to give them MEGA props. The areas seem easy to clean and easy to keep track of. The different scenes were cute and seem fun, be well kept despite being a kids indoor playground. I did see staff trying to clean in the 90 minutes or so I was there. Many sanitize stations. Overall, the 40 minute drive for me, overpriced food, and cost just makes it mediocre for me - but I'll visit again for a special occasion knowing how much it is now. However, if none of the money factors bother you - I think you should definitely give them a try with your tiny human. Pro tip: check the website of the mall, I am pretty sure they have events in the area in the weekends! Make a day out of it and plan your time here accordingly. The food to eat in the mall is a little spendy, or drive and find Costco cafe or some other lesser priced options. Clean, staff was decent, cute corners, Instagram worthy for sure!

I feel kind of bad rating this place 3 stars. However, it is pricey and you really have to go in KNOWING your kid will be occupied for at 2 hours (which is the time limit). My daughter doesn't prefer it for more than an hour, so it's not worth the money for me.It also takes a bit to sign up if you are coming for the first time. You need to sign a waiver and all of that, and that holds up the line for people waiting to get in. I love the interior and think it's so cute! I just wish my daughter liked it a bit more and I wish it was a little cheaper or had a little better service.

Such a cool idea for playtime with kids without having to buy everything and the kitchen sink. It's also a great place to practice social skills and sharing toys while being creative. My little one was only 10 months old visiting here and he had plenty of toys to explore. There are several themed rooms to play between like a grocery store, post office, cabin, lake and even a separate infant are. There's also an actual cafe that makes coffee and sells sensory kits for $25. This area also has tables and high chairs where the kids can eat (they don't sell food themselves). Don't be fooled- the entry fee is for the little ones AND you. In my case, I came with my partner and we paid almost $20 for the three of us and a chai latte. This admission is good for two hours. I'd still go back because of how easy it is to have so many different things for the little one to do.

I came with my two boys, ages 4 and 6 this summer when they didn't have school but I had to get some work done. It was amazing that I could sit and get some work done and look up and see what they were up to. They had a great time with so much imagination play and telling me all about it.

I have a 16m old and he's always on the go. We took the drive up from south of the river (45min drive) and it was SO worth it. There's so much to do for all ages. It's well kept, and the attention to detail is so cool. I wish there were places like this where we live!! Definitely will be back, and will telling everyone about this place!

My new favorite place to get coffee with other moms and let the kids play! The owner was very friendly!

My kids love this place! There are so many different stations for creative play, and it's so different than the indoor parks we normally take them to.

Celebrated my daughter's first birthday here, kids had so much fun and staff was super helpful. We forgot a bag of party supplies at home and they were able to accommodate some of our missing things from other party supplies left over. Such a cute and great place for your young kiddos to run around. They have a kids table and adult table separate and also a dessert table for the cake (it also came with the grass backdrop) and a bar for all your food. Wish I remembered to get more pictures!
