    I’ve been coming here from Pasco for over a year now. Not only did my kids enjoy themselves, but I also liked the setup and it was very affordable. I came in today and had to pay for two adults which makes no sense since there is nothing for the adults to do. Not only that but the it’s under construction and there is no mention of it until you come and see for yourself. There is no gate to keep the kids in which is unsettling, the bathrooms are totally gross while under construction, and the entire place is not clean general. I won’t be coming back.

    Really nice place for the kiddos. Staff are friendly and helpful. There's a giant moonbouce slide. A couple large, medium and small moon bounces. There's slides and a jungle jim for younger ones and a arcade. Plenty of seats for parents and the bathrooms were cleaned. I had a 2 year old and 4 year old and they both had a blast!! The photos are from the toddler zone (0-3).

    Went on a Tuesday and it wasn’t very busy. The kids had a lot of fun while I got to sit back and relax. They have a 0-3 zone so the little kids can play safely without big kids running around. It was perfect for my 10 month old who love to climb. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

    I wanted to love this place. My son had a good time but its not a clean environment. My son picked up multiple candy wrappers from inside the play areas. I saved him from ingesting an old gummy that was covered in dust and hair that he found between the cracks in the padding on the floor. Most parents just sit and must not notice this, because I witnessed plenty of other kids eating the crumbs and dirt from all over the place. Also some of the playground is falling apart, got some pics of that. This place is nice but it’s completely unacceptable in its current state.

    So much to do! Kids had lots of fun for a very reasonable price. They even have snacks and drinks for kids and parents. Lots of places for a weary mom to sit for a few while watching the kiddos play. Something for everyone.

    My family LOVES this place. Both my 2 and 5 year old have an absolute blast every time we visit. There's plenty to do for all ages of kids, from giant bounce houses and inflatable slides to a section dedicated for toddlers where things are on a smaller scale and padded. And the staff even manages to keep the place completely clean. There's plenty of chairs to lounge on for the parents and coffee to drink while you watch the kids run around. Super chill for me, super fun for the little dudes!

    It’s a wonderful playground. The play area is a good distance from the front door allowing privacy and security. There are areas for toddlers and areas for big kids. The staff are friendly and never pushy. Also the amenities for adults (coffee, nice chairs) are plus. They re renovating but it doesn’t take away from the current layout, it only brings promise of new additions like a restaurant.

    My 8 year old said it best "I miss the old playgrounds where people payed attention to the play things and not the games". I was considering a membership until I figured out that my kids were more intrigued by the flashing lights of the games that cost extra than the really cool new play structure.

    Update: they completely remodeled the place, and more to come! We love what they’ve done with it! Very clean and lots of fun, and most importantly.. Safe! We loved it!! 😊

    Used to bring my preschoolers and toddler here but had a very poor experience today. I was aware of the ongoing renovation, but was surprised to pay full price while there was active construction going on. A machine was cutting literal metal behind the partition and it was so loud it scared my kids playing. Also, it used to be so toddler friendly with the gate and separated toddler area. Now it is not. No gate or truly separate area for little ones. My two year old got into the giant maze and it took me almost twenty minutes to get her out. There is almost no signage for anything. So I had no idea she was probably too young for the maze or that the maze only has one exit at all. There are no hand sanitizers anywhere inside the play area at all. And the games are right in the front, which I refused to give my children money for after paying almost 40$ to play for an hour. My kids only wanted to climb all over the games or run right back out towards the door because there is no gate. I was really hopeful for the place but we will not be back for a long time. Overpriced for what it is.

    Poor business operation. After looking it up online and on their Facebook I drove the 30 minutes there with my kids. When we got there they mentioned they were renovating and I could have a look before paying. I would say more than probably 80% of the play area was closed down with the exception of some arcade games (which are an extra cost). I asked if they were offering a discounted rate considering there wasn’t much of anything for the kids to do and they said “no,” that they wouldn’t do that. Their website mentions they are updating but not that it impacts a majority of the play area, or even that it impacts any of it at all. In my opinion they should be closed altogether during this renovation, offer a discounted rate, OR have been more diligent online about what they have going on there. We won’t be returning nor would I recommend it to others as something worth the time. Overall just a large lack of transparency and not what is being advertised.

    The kids had a blast. It's a little smaller than I expected. Basically like 4 Bounce houses and a playground. I think two hours is about the max I'd be able to spend here. I do LOVE the concept of coffee for the parents!

    We had my sons 5th bday party there last Sunday the 27th. When I tell you EVERYONE, both adults and kids had the BEST time I mean it!!! The adults were so relaxed sitting in those comfy chairs and being able to watch their kids all from a safe distance, all the kids loved the playground and ALL the bounce houses. We had never been as we just moved to FL recently and I’m so incredibly happy I did! Anthony H and Rylan were our party host and we’re the nicest most helpful 2 guys to us and I have never been so relaxed as a party host. The day couldn’t have been or gone better. The girls at the front desk were so sweet. I can’t wait to go back and this might be our party spot for years to come!!! Thank you all for making Ashton’s birthday so special!!!!!

    You start with a friendly check in at the front desk, online reservations made this seamless, you can also sign their required waiver online too, huge playroom opens up before you and your kids is off to the races!!! So much to do for your bigger kids to your smallest tikes! Reasonably priced amusement center, their coffee is very tasty and made to order, I would recommend this stop for anyone I know with kids!

    My kids love this place I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. But last time we went there on 3/12 there was a group of older kids running around and playing very very rough pushing and hitting other kids. Obviously the parent that was supposed to be supervising the 3-5 kids he brought in was not paying attention to them so it was horrible, they were throwing balls at each other’s and bothering all other kids. I personally had to tell them to wait for their turn like 3 times. I think that a staff member should be on the floor supervising and making sure everything runs well and ensuring kids safety.

    It was really reasonably priced. They have a coffee shop for the parents. I only gave 4 stars because on there website it still shows they have a ball pit which my kids love but when we got there they no longer put the balls out because it was to much work to clean because of covid.

  • 5/5 Olivia K. 4 months ago on Google
    Was the perfect venue for my 5 year old’s birthday party! They made logistics easy and provided great support on the day-off. Most importantly, the kids love this place and have a great time.

  • 5/5 Warren G. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is awesome for younger kids, we had our son’s 5th birthday here he had a blast, we had the private room and the workers set up everything and did a great job hosting. Plus, They just did a complete remodel of the building and couldn’t have been any better. Thank you to all the staff, We can’t wait to come back.

  • 5/5 Jillian H. 5 months ago on Google
    We used this spot to meet up with friends. It was the perfect place for our 5 yr old, two 6 yr olds, and 2 yr old. I loved that there was such a variety of activities for the kids and comfortable seating for parents. I wouldn't hesitate to return. I only wish they had one closer to me in Largo!

  • 3/5 Katie D. 7 months ago on Google
    We’ve been coming here for years. Great place for kids to play. My biggest issue is that the teenagers that are supposed to be working in the play area to keep the kids safe are either scrolling through their phones or talking to each other, not really paying attention to the kids that are dangerously climbing through the netting and bounce house and running around running into others. Wish they’d be more cautious and cognizant of keeping the kiddos safe.

    I booked a party for my children here under the Exclusive Package. And I couldn’t be more happy with the experience. I was always happy with the Playgrounds of Tampa facility to be honest. But I was shocked when I came in to set up. First of all, they let me come in 15 minutes early. Which is unheard of in these spaces. I was not expecting the level of help that I got. They have three wagons to get your items inside in less trips. And there were three girls helping during - on top of who I presumed to be the owner. They were all super kind and patient. But on top of that they had four coolers and provided ice. That’s above and beyond to me because I hate entertaining so don’t have my own coolers. The girls there started unpacking everything, setting up tables, laying cookies on platters and organizing all of the snacks. I literally had to do hardly anything. So little I even felt bad and after offered to help clean up but they said no. The space is perfect if you rent the whole thing. It allows you to feel more comfortable with your children like you don’t have to watch their every move. There are couches and chairs set up around the play area. This is 100 percent the best location for a party in all of Tampa. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I take the 4 year old that I babysit here often. He loves it! It's a kid's paradise. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It gets crowded especially with birthday parties. They need more seating for the adults but otherwise, it's a great way to spend a kid-friendly afternoon.

  • 3/5 Nadia C. 7 months ago on Google
    My family & I used to love this place!! But I’m very upset and not a fan of the new layout. I miss the designated area for the toddlers with the gate and jump house. Now there is not even a gate and just a small area underneath the jungle gym for them to play. Seems like they are trying to make money off of these arcade games. We came here to bounce and let energy out. We can go play arcade games elsewhere.

  • 4/5 MrsDevotionn 7 months ago on Google
    Loved this place! My boy was a little hesitant to climb but I’m sure if we go back he will love it. My only concern is there isn’t a gate that separates the door outside to the play areas. I see they are expanding and would encourage that for safety reasons! Otherwise, great play place and decently priced

  • 5/5 Sara E. 2 years ago on Google
    My kids absolutely love it here! It's especially great for a rainy day or to beat the heat in the summer. We go here anytime though! My daughter had her birthday party here and they were so helpful and accommodating.

  • 5/5 Martini G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place for the kids to play! My 2 and 4 year old love this place and we've been going since my oldest was 1. They have a section for little kids under 3 if you'd like to have the smallest of your family play there. They also have a great coffee bar!

  • 5/5 Candace E. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place, and it's worth the drive. The place is very clean, and plenty for your kids to do while they're there. They also have a mean coffee bar, and always make wonderful lattes. Great value, and a wonderful way to burn some of your kids extra energy!

  • 3/5 Athenia C. 8 months ago on Google
    As a mom who brings my kids here often I was very sad to find they were renovating the place I’m a mom of 4 so we take the kids here because #1 it was gated we could be sitting and from all angles we were able to watch the children play and have eyes on all 4 children. This use to be the perfect place to bring the kids without having to get up every couple of minutes to run after your children because you could see them from all angles. I’m sad to say I will not be back until they put a gate back up the set up they have now makes it extremely difficult to watch multiple young children you will get up every second to run after your child which makes it difficult because you have to run from one end of the place to another. They had such a good thing going from the beginning not sure what the renovation is I am very upset I paid money to get a completely different experience then what we’re used too. After speaking with the owner he insured me there will be gates put up and he gave us passes to come back once renovation is completed

    We are on vacation and met some friends from Clearwater here to play. It is under construction, so they have 5 bouncy houses, 2 Fisher Price baby slides, and 1 small play house. Remodels happen, I get it. But they don't discount your ticket! (Staff was not rude, but also not very friendly) So we get in there and are playing with our 3.5yr olds and a 1.5yr old. About 20 minutes in, a day camp group come barreling in and within 5 minutes I've heard 2 cuss words and watches 3 little kids get knocked over. The "adult" supervision for the day camp group is a 16-18 yr old. We eneded up leaving very shortly after we got there. If we lived here we would not be coming back!

  • 5/5 Katrina M. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a really cute little spot for I'd say more so toddlers and very young kids. It's small but open. The staff is really nice and friendly. The price is definitely worth it. My babygirl has a fun time every time I bring her there. So I definitely recommend for any parent during the day trying to tire their little one out lol it will do the job. I also saw that they do parties there as well and they are expanding within so I'm sure they're just making it more fun for the kids.

  • 3/5 Nicole S. 9 months ago on Google
    They are in the middle of remodeling. I think the price is too high for what's provided. $14 a kid for open play. 6 bounce houses. Small arcade with some games. The bathrooms were also in renovation and unkept: holes in the walls, unpainted, dirty. Sitting area for adults to wait while kids play. It's an empty warehouse with bounce houses. I'll wait to return once the renovations are finished. It sounds like it's going to be pretty cool once it's complete.

  • 2/5 Angeli 8 months ago on Google
    I'd wait to go until they're done with renovations. At this point it's pretty much an empty warehouse with a few bounce houses. Not much to do for toddlers. It's indoors and has AC. Pretty much the only reason I gave it 2 stars.

  • 5/5 Darla B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to take kids and they have a blast. We like the variety of things/play areas that are there. We are very comfortable taking the kids here and they have seating and charging stations for adults. Will return when in Tampa.

  • 5/5 Gabriela F. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place! Amazing space for babies, kids and coffee loving parents. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend for any rainy days, hot days or to get some work done online using their free wifi while watching the kiddos. Can't wait to book a party here!! :)

  • 4/5 Nesia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place for kids to get their wiggles out when the FL weather is too much to bear!! There's a gated area for small kids that I loved. There's a few arcade type games as well as rides (ie horse). Staff is super friendly here. I would suggest going as soon as open because it does get crowded.

  • 5/5 George T. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter had the greatest time not too expensive and we got out of the rain pretty awesome place with spots for the parents to relax while the children play

  • 5/5 Shay K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is always clean and staff is friendly. It’s small enough where parents can sit and relax while the kids play without having to worry about their kids. But big enough to keep kids entertained for hours. My granddaughters love this place. It’s never overcrowded either. This place is perfect for my 6 & 4 yr olds. Their prices are also pretty good too.

  • 5/5 Emily T. 1 year ago on Google
    We did my son’s 3rd birthday here. Regan H was so helpful and did an excellent job setting up the decorations we brought in and making sure our guests were taken care of. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were doing okay. Thanks so much!
