Our capacity is approximately 25 children at a time for open play. Our play attendants and staff are trained to cap capacity based on the feeling of the space.

Socks please! If you have socks with grips on the bottom, even better. Shoes must be left in cubbies at the front entrance. This helps us keep our space clean and safe, especially for our littlest guests who crawl and scoot around. If you forget your socks, no problemo. We've got extras available for purchase.

Good question. No, we do not offer child care. Our staff will help facilitate play and engage with your children. However, it is the caretaker's responsibility to be supervising their child's safety at all times.

Of course! If there's anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please email hello@thelittlevillageplaycafe.com.

The sweet spot for our open play space is 6 months to 6 years old.

Children 6 months and younger are free.

Children 6 years and older are also welcome to play! We do not have an age limit for the play space. Often older children enjoy the imaginary play as well! We just ask that they are kind and mindful around the younger kids and be good leaders by following the rules. (No running, no throwing, no rough housing, etc.)

You’re welcome to make a reservation in advance, or simply walk in. During busier times (like rainy days, weekday mornings, happy hours, or weekends), we do recommend reserving to ensure your spot. But if you’re more of a ‘wing-it’ kind of person, drop-ins are always welcome too!

If the play space is at capacity, there might be a short wait until a family leaves. Wait times are typically under 15 minutes but can extend up to an hour during peak times. Don’t worry, though—we have snacks and activities to keep everyone entertained while you wait!

You betcha! You can make a reservation here to save your spot & skip the line. Making a reservation isn't required - but it's a great way to speed things up when you check in.

One of our play space attendants is always there to maintain a clean and safe environment. We also thoroughly clean and disinfect the area throughout the day and after closing.

Yuck Bins are located throughout the play space. If a child puts a toy in their mouth, please place that toy in one of the Yuck Bins. Our staff regularly cleans and disinfects toys from these bins.
