We came in excited and fully prepared. All five kids already had non-slip socks. Two of them even…read morehad Urban Air branded socks, and the others had perfectly good non-slip socks from another trampoline park. Despite that, we were told everyone had to buy this facility's branded socks. For a family that already purchased the ultimate package, this felt like nothing more than a cash grab. Requiring customers to buy another pair of socks when they already have safe, non-slip socks is ridiculous. What makes even less sense is that kids are expected to operate go-karts while wearing socks instead of protective footwear. In my opinion, that's a questionable safety policy. I hope they rethink it before someone gets hurt, and I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually leads to a lawsuit. Overall, the mandatory branded sock policy completely soured what should have been a fun family outing. We came prepared, spent a lot of money, and still felt nickel-and-dimed.

It's a great place for parents to hang out with the their children while enjoying some relaxation…read moreon their own. I believe I have a contradictory statement on the last paragraph, that is, "how can relaxation and kids-monitoring happen simultaneously?" "Sunny Village Cafe" is the answer because the children can play while the parents sip on coffee. The space is designed perfectly that guardians can keep an eye on their little ones. Of course, the circumstances can depend. My partner and I checked out here on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. We were the only patrons for an extended of time. My older one enjoyed the slide, while my little one followed his afternoon-nap route and fell asleep after playing a few things. The admission fee was $15/child and waiver for each child would need to be completed. I thought this was reasonable because we really had the venue all to ourselves for a couple of hours. Coffee, non-caffeinated beverages, and cafe-style pastries were available for purchase. The place was clean and cozy. I looked up their website and learned that membership was available. We already had other memberships that would keep us busy. Therefore, at this time we didn't see the need. I hope "Sunny Village Cafe" can last like the sun that never sets! We live in the neighborhood and would love to come here from time to time.

I've been looking forward to the opening of Sunny Village Cafe for at least eight months or so…read more They've had some challenges on the way to opening but they're finally here! I don't work on my birthday, so since I had the day off I took my toddler here in the morning. The concept of the cafe came from the owner's visit to family in Korea, where these play cafes are common. There are about five tables along the west wall and then the rest is for children's play! There are toys as well as structures, such as a little CTA rail car. There's a little play house. Various toys can be found throughout the play area. There are "yuck boxes", where you can place toys that children have put in their mouth so the staff can clean them. There's hand sanitizer in a few areas as well. There's a couple chairs and couches in the play area as well, adult-sized ones. There is also an infant section for children up to age 24 months. That section is smaller and has a couple of baby bjorns for the littlest friends. Near that area is a quiet room. I didn't get anything to eat or drink whilst here but I'm curious to try one of their -ades. They have some pastries and stuff from nearby restaurants, including Delightful Pastries across the street, I think. I'm not sure how I would have managed them both since the tables ended up getting all taken; I wasn't able to stake one out since I was following my little one around. Maybe I could have kept it with me in the play area and just held it but I wasn't sure if that was allowed. I also wasn't sure if I could order something from inside the play space or if I needed to go out to get one. The play area is enclosed so for the most part you don't have to worry about kids getting out, although there's a bit of a gap along the side and bottom of the swinging door to the cafe/play space. No shoes are allowed once you enter that door, so you'll leave them in the space outside the enclosed play space/cafe. I'd highly recommend going to the website and completing the waiver before you arrive, as that just makes it easier and gets you in to play more quickly. You must complete a waiver for both parent and child, separately, which I thought was the case but then whilst reading through it I was unsure. The cost to enter is $14, unless you have a membership or have pre-paid for a particular number of visits. They also offer private rentals for parties and stuff. I think my little one enjoyed it, and I think we'll return so she play around. Parking is relatively limited since it's in a small strip mall. But there is parking along the street around here too.

When my kids first walked into Games on Lincoln they were a little disappointed by how small it is, especially in comparison to places like Nickel City. That being said i like that it's small because it's a great way to kill a bit of time, but also easy to get out of there within the hour. I usually have to bribe my kids to get them out of Nickel City within a few hours. And because it's new Games on Lincoln is very clean and due to the size should be easy to keep clean! Fingers crossed. You put money on a card and like all arcades you go thru money pretty fast here. I loaded up my kids cards with $10 several times and they seemed to run out fast- a combo of the games being a little expensive and I think they may have swiped a few extra times (so teach your kids to just swipe once). The machine itself is a little glitchy, but the staff was helpful...and can also take cash up by the cash register. I do think some sort of unlimited game card would be great- whether it's for one specific time or even a monthly membership. The games itself are perfect for my 8 and 6 year olds, but my 3 year old is a little young for it (although they were nice to pull up a chair so he could play his favorite game, pac-man). They didn't get enough tickets to get any cool prizes so are keeping their cards for next time. And I'm sure there will be a next time since it's an easy way to kill some time after dinner in the area (Stacked and Folded, Little Rickys, etc) before or after ice cream. Speaking of ice cream seems like a no brainer to get rid of their crappy prizes and let people redeem tickets at the ice cream parlor and toy store...also a great way to drive business to those businesses as well. According to the staff they may be taking over the hair salon next door and making this way bigger, which would also give the ability to host birthday parties. My kids were excited about the possibility of even more games. And if that happens there goes my ability to get them in and out fast, but then again always looking for good places to kill time with the kids in the winter.

First of all, the space is equipped for children of all ages (from babies to big kids who have a trampoline and a zip line at their disposal)! All the children who were at the birthday party were delighted! Secondly, the party room is also good! There is enough room for approximately 30 people. Definitely enough space for everything. Thirdly, the service is impeccable! The new owners are really wonderful people, very flexible, easy to negotiate, helpful, kind... I have no words! Indeed all the praises! They are good organizers, and have great ideas that will improve this place even more! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and for sure will come back!

Last week were invited to a 2 year old birthday party. Never heard of the place, but based off the…read morereviews, we were very eager to see what we had in store. Being a private party, the entire area was closed off for the evening, allowing 15 kids from the ages 9months-12 years old to roam freely without any public foot traffic. Already giving that a 5/5 for less stimulation. The place was extremely tidy and every kids dream, from trampoline, zip lining, climbing, and Montessori toys. This place has a wide range of sensory toys for everyone. Definitely writing this on my list of "fun activities " to do with my little ones. Nervous about visiting during public play, but hoping that if we stick to early hours, we can get a low traffic play time. Would recommend for any parent looking for a change of environment compared to traditional trampoline park or Gymboree play place.

I also scored a $5 discount for becoming a member and another $5 by getting a coupon their website and that made it totally worth it. There is good food selection of pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets , popcorn, ice cream and slushies but we don't eat today so I can't comment on quality and taste but hope to be back soon.

On a cold autumn Saturday, I had dad brain and totally misread a text message, leaving us without…read moreplans for the day. We were a bit far from home and our kid was getting restless, so I looked up nearby indoor playgrounds and ended up here. It was $25 since it was a weekend until they closed at 6pm. Our kiddo had a fun time! It's not as gargantuan as some other playgrounds, but they have a baby and toddler area, and it's multi-story so there's a lot of climbing and sliding. They also have an area with a bunch of riding vehicles, and most fun of all was the ball room. I thought a place called ball factory would have more...balls? But the ball room is basically a room with air cannons that let you load and shoot these soft play balls around the room. It's surprisingly pretty fun even for the adults to fire off a few rounds. And as someone who has been to a few of these indoor playgrounds, I'm grateful you don't have to buy their proprietary socks. Like I went to one place that wanted grippy socks - and we had grippy socks, but they weren't theirs! Some places need better insurance policies I guess, so I'm glad the Ball Factory isn't insanely strict. What's also nice is there's a Polish grocery next door, so I grabbed a few items while my wife stayed here. Our only gripe is there could be more seating in the play area for us parents to catch up on our phones, but at least the food area has a lot of space. And kids even get a free ball on the way out! Overall I think we'll come back, but we'll be sure to eat lunch before and dinner after since outside food isn't allowed.

"Kids Play Hive" is a new venue that had a grand opening on 01/17/26. I happened to come across…read moretheir profile page on Yelp and then followed their IG. My older son was very excited when he saw some clips about this place and we decided to pay a visit. We came on a Saturday. There were many kids, with a wide range of ages, on the giant jungle gym, the large bullpen with an interactive screen, and the young toddler area. Check-in involved with waiver-signing and socks purchasing for first timers. I believe a pair of socks cost $3.50 and each child's admission was $18.50 (as of 02/14/26). There yellow-bee socks seemed to have a good grip on the bottom, but we will see how they would hold up after a few washes. My kids were a little hesitant to get on the big boss jungle gym first, so they started playing at the toddler area to condition themselves. Eventually they released their inhibition and were climbing all levels numerous times. My 2.5 year-old, small-statured younger son went on the suspended bridge repeatedly until he overcame his fear, so it was impressive to see his progress when facing challenges. For parental supervision, for the most part, parents would be able to watch their kids while sitting down at the perimeters. I spent majority of time chasing my two boys while slightly bend down at the jungle gym the entire time. Adults were able to get on them and they seemed sturdy, yet for tall individuals there would be no way to stand straight inside this if you were to constantly go after the kid(s). Everyone in my family enjoyed "Kids Play Hive," but one star was deducted because the lack of boundaries on protecting the little ones who also wanted the opportunities to play. There was a group of older boys and everyone was very energetic and running fast throughout the venue. When they got to the young toddler zone, they took up space reserved for the little crawlers and walkers. While it didn't significantly impact my experience, but that would be something for the management to think about for crowd-control purposes. There was also a birthday celebration going on and the invited guests got to use the party room. Overall, "Kids Play Hive," in my opinion, is a well-designed indoor playground with convenient parking. We don't live awfully far away and will definitely come back in the future. The snacks and beverages they sell also are priced reasonably. Guests are allowed bring their food and there is a designated dining area.
