I took my son and nephew here for indoor play and my sister and I fell in love with this place. It's very spacious, and there is a lot to do for the kiddos. It's 2 floors and the price was not bad for 2 hours. I am definitely coming back. Oh and the staff was great! read more

Oh Dream city what would moms of toddlers do without you in the winter time. Such a wonderful place to have in the neighborhood. Really easy to book open play on the website. There are two floors of interactive play, soft play area, ball pit and so so many pretend play toys. The restrooms are always very clean and play areas are tidy and well kept. Staff is very friendly and available throughout the playtime. read more

I brought my son here a few weeks ago, and he had a blast. Dream City is a really cute space. It's set up into multiple sections with a wide variety activities for kids of all ages to play in and with. They have a designated section for babes under a year and other sections for kids a little older. To my surprise, there was a downstairs, too, with different themed rooms, dress up, an interactive wall, and a bunch of other stuff. My son's favorite was the ball pit. Overall, the space was great. I also thought an hour and a half session was a good amount of time. We didn't feel rushed at all. I do think it's a little pricy to charge $15 per person. I think adults should cost less than children at a place like this. For us, this will be a good every once in a while rainy day place to visit. read more

We had an amazing time at Dream City! My daughter had a blast playing, and we even got to socialize a bit with the other kids, which was really nice. It's definitely a shared space, so while it's fun to interact, sometimes it can be tricky when kids want to do their own thing or have to share toys. That said, the space is large enough that you can easily find a spot to be on your own or with others depending on your preference. The staff onsite was small but super efficient. They got us checked in quickly and were constantly tidying up and putting toys in bins to be cleaned, which was great to see. There's lively, fun music on the ground floor--think bright pop songs and kid-friendly classics. I don't recall music playing on the lower level, but the energy on the main floor was perfect. Just a heads-up: make sure to bring socks for your child since barefoot or inside shoes aren't allowed. Overall, it's a fantastic place to bring your little one, and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

Favorite indoor playground in NYC. Great for rainy days and some bonding time with your little one. Super safe and relaxing for mom or dad. I would just recommend adding a cushion to the recently added item in the downstairs area. read more

I have been bringing my son here since April. They have terrific programs for kids under age 6. It is also an indoor playground with lots of Montessori toys. There is a ball pit, and many different play areas between the two floors. The facility is very clean, as well. Everything is very organized as far as how it's operated. Very nice staff! When my son is a little older and has more friends I want to have his birthday party here. We were there one day for open play and glimpsed a birthday party going on. It looked wonderful. Every neighborhood should have a Dream City. read more

The price is higher than other playrooms and the activities are just about the same. The benefit is there are many classes and drop off service. The area is kept clean and orderly and the staff are friendly. The only issue to me is the price. read more

I brought my niece (age 3) and nephew ( age 1）to the Easter special event. I liked that there were activities for both of them to do. My niece enjoyed the obstacle course on the first level and my nephew had fun in the soft play area. Downstairs was spacious with different theme rooms (princess, legos, cars). During the event my niece and nephew collected eggs with prizes inside, took pictures with the Easter bunny, and joined the bubble dance party. The staff was very attentive and checked in with us and asked if my niece was able to collect eggs to ensure she wasn't being left out. Furthermore, we attended the open play session which is 2 hours long. Again the staff was very kind and when I walked in they gave me a rundown where they told me where the bathrooms were located, how to get downstairs, and general rules to follow. They also recommended areas for my niece and nephew to play in based on their ages (3 and 1). At the end of the session they asked us about our experience as it was our first open play session and gave my niece and nephew Dream city stickers at the front to make them feel better about leaving. I appreciate that the facility only allows children 6 and under because I didn't have to worry about my niece and nephew getting overwhelmed or accidentally knocked down by older kids. Overall it was a clean space with great staff and fun activities. read more

My favorite indoor playground thus far. Areas are clean. There's is a lot to choose from as far as play. There's an upstairs and downstairs. My little one (at 18 months and 2) stays busy more so in the upstairs area because of ball pit with the vacuum for the balls and the pretend ice cream shop toy area. Other parents and caregivers here that I have encountered have always been nice and pleasant. read more

I was hesitant to bring my 9 month old boy here because I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate. He is a little too young for many play areas. I called ahead of time and their staff member, Ilana, was very helpful and informative. She assured me that there were certain areas that see clearly labeled for his age range. She was right! The place was clean and there was so much for him to do and many activities for a wide age range. We will definitely be returning. As mentioned in other reviews, I was also surprised by the charge for adults but I understand that business need to make money. Life is hard and expensive right now. I am sure this includes business as well. read more

Our son (now 3) has been coming here since he was about a year old. We've done everything from open play to music and art classes. He absolutely loves it! The staff are super friendly and the place is always clean. There is a great assortment of toys for the kids and they often bring in new set ups. We most recently threw his birthday party here. Janet was the best and did a great job helping us plan everything. The set up was gorgeous and they were very accommodating to what we wanted. I highly recommend trying out all their services-it's a great environment for your child to have a good time. read more

I absolutely love this place and probably one of the best kids party I've been to. We went to a 4 years old birthday party and even the adults were having fun... let alone my 14 month old daughter. This place is huge!!! First floor has a ball pit, a "sandbox", a pretend play food truck, and places you can climb everywhere. Basement has a dining area, a princess dress up room, a Lego room, an area where you toss balls on the wall, and kids car that goes down a slide. They have these couches that are kid friendly all over the place. We asked about the pricing for kids party and it's definitely twice as expensive as other place but you get what you pay for. The staff were amazing and the decorations were impressive. Also their free play individual sessions are definitely cheaper so take advantage of that. read more

We love Dream City! This is a wonderful neighborhood resource, and a place where my kids have grown from babies to big kids. The owner and staff know us by name and always ensure we feel welcome. Open Play is a regular part of our week, and my little one loves every visit. read more

I had my son's 1st birthday party here and the entire experience was seamless from start to end! I have a knack for attempting way too much DIY - from my wedding to my own baby shower. So for my kiddo's 1st bday I wanted something where we literally just walk in - and Dream City is the place for that! Such a godsend for busy parents who still want an impressive and large space for a party! My husband and I toured the expansive space and loved how BIG it was and how clean it looked. They also offer two different packages for different budgets, take care of ALL decor and setup, have a seamless team that keeps the party moving, packed all the leftover food, drinks and decor for us, and even offered to give out goodie bags! There are a number of themes to choose from and they can work with you for any custom themes as well. We chose a Space theme for our LO's first trip around the sun. I dropped off extra decor a few days ahead and spoke with the owner, Corrie, who was so friendly and easy to work with. The day of, we showed up late but were eagerly helped in. The staff swooped in right away and took our food and drinks to set up. A'lexiz and her team was a pleasure to work with. We heard fantastic remarks throughout and post party about how fun the party was! We love that Dream City is only a few blocks away and we will definitely take our little love to their class offerings as well as open play! read more

Great place to host a birthday party. They're so organized and take care of all the decorations and flow of the party for you. Highly recommend read more

We chose Dream City for our daughter's 2nd birthday party, and they did not disappoint. It was so stress free and easy to work with Corrie and her team, they provided everything for the party (safari themed decor, clean and sanitized environment, music). We had several guest tell us what a great time they had (even with older kids) and would want to go back with us. The care and cleanliness in which the place was kept made Dream City an easy choice. There was a lot of space for everyone and we all felt safe enough with all of the precautions taken. Corrie even helped us get things started when the kids were in the bubble dance party! Thanks for hosting us Dream City - we can't wait to have a follow up play-date with friends here! read more

Stumbled upon this great place online one night and had to come check it out with my niece! First I want to start of by saying I love the schedule they have set for different age groups. My niece is one years old and she tends to run off with the big kids any chance she gets. I went in on Wednesday afternoon and to my surprise I was told we were VIP's because we were the only people for open play, other than a few kids from the day camp. We stood on the main floor to take everything in, that's until one of the employees mentioned there was a second floor! We had such a blast in the 1.5 hours we were there for. Bathrooms on both floors with changing tables, Temperatures were checked, Hand sanitizer provided, air purifiers, water station, friendly & informative staff and I can not forget how clean it was. Definitely considering having my nieces 2nd birthday party here and I will be a returning customer. Thank you for the great customer service ! read more

Hosted our son's first birthday party and it was a fantastic event! Adults and kids alike enjoyed the venue and the courteous staff. I truly enjoy the creation of a space exclusively for small children. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more

We celebrated our daughter's 2nd birthday at Dream City recently and it was a great experience. Corrie and her team did an amazing job organizing and decorating the party. They were easy to communicate with and had prompt responses - from initial inquiry to the day of the party. The space itself is amazing. Very clean, foamed spaces where we felt safe to just let the kids explore around on their own. They have a great variety of play areas and toys. The most important thing is that all the kids had a great time, and even most of the adults! Extremely happy we made the choice to book with Dream City - our guests enjoyed it and said they would all love to take their kids back for playtime at Dream City. Thanks Corrie and team! read more

Had our son's 5th birthday party at Dream City in November. Highly recommend this place for birthday parties. Corrie and her team are so professional and thorough. We didn't have to worry about anything. The pay so much attention to detail when setting up. Having the entire place for our party was a huge plus!!! We had about 45 people total. Highly recommend getting the bubble machine added to your party. We also added alcohol for a small fee. All the adults and of course the children had a blast!! Thanks Corrie!!! read more

Dream City, like the name itself, was a dream find. If you're looking for a birthday venue or special events play area venue for your kids, then look no further. Do not let the location or the scale of the storefront fool you, when you go inside, it's MUCH MUCH larger. Upon entering, there is a nice entry area where you can take of your shoes, leave your strollers and pretty much a nice receiving area for you to transition to the play area. Once you arrive in the play area, there are ball pits, kid car areas, jungle gyms, slides, swings, basically all the things a kid needs to exert their endless amounts of energy! lol : ) Everything feels very clean, well taken care of and the staff is extremely fun and friendly. There is a downstairs which has the main party room, themed rooms like a princess area, train riding areas, transformable spaces where one could turn into a digital interactive wall experience and more! The main party room, they include packages where they help setup the decor, balloons, etc to make your already busy parent life much easier and that's FINE by me! : ) Highly recommend looking into this area if you're in the market for a kids event especially if you're from the Queens area! read more

We came here for our son's friends birthday party and had such a good time. Everything was clean and cared for, and I loved that the toilets even had a toddler seat for kids. Even downstairs, my son loved the little riding coasters and the indoor slide they had. I've never seen him have so much fun indoors, and this is the perfect place for a birthday party. I I definitely want to try out their open play at some point and maybe even see about hosting our own birthday party there for my kids. This place was great. read more

We had such a great experience for my sons 2nd birthday! We had the whole place to ourselves for 2.5 hours which was plenty of time! The party had a great flow starting from the main floor and then moving downstairs for even more fun! It's safe to say the kids never got bored! We chose a space theme and the party room downstairs was decorated even more beautifully than I imagined. I didn't have to purchase anything regarding decor they handled everything for you. The staff was so professional, kind and handled the cleanup after the party was over. We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing this place is. I would definitely recommend dream city for your child's next birthday you won't regret it! :) read more

This is a great clean indoor playground. Better then any I've seen in NYC.So many activities for kids . read more

Dream City - Indoor Playcenter Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Large spot, 2 floors. So that is nice. But they are the ONLY play place that charges for BOTH a child and Adult. Every other play place includes one adult with each child admission. Here you have to pay for both. So a 90 minute play is essentially about 40 dollars. They should re-evaluate that model. Every other place allows an adult and child together for 15-20 dollars. total read more

Dream City hosted my son's 3rd birthday and it was such an amazing and seamless experience. I loved the decorations and the organization, and especially not having to clean up after. read more

It's a great place for free play. Although the classes were not all worth it. I thought I was sending my LO for some amazing classes like art, sensory, music and this one class called bunny hop. Every class seemed rushed and the kid don't get much out of it. The art class usually the Nannie's/ Caretakers are doing all the work, music class is a waste. So many distractions around them the kids just leave to play during music class. Sensory classes seemed rushed and just plays music. I think they need to work on age appropriate activities for the classes so it can be more engaging. read more

Cute place but overpriced, you have to pay for yourself and each child you bring, even had to pay for my 8 mos old. I thought possibly you're getting more for their more expensive price model, but honestly it's not worth it in my opinion. Plenty of places where parents don't have to pay to watch their child play. And I'm also over feeling like I'm the one asking for a favor when I walk into a place of business. I'm a paying customer, shouldn't feel like I'm getting kicked out of a space or an inconvenience in anyway. Will not be returning. read more

My nearly 4 year old son always has a great time here. We have been here many times both pre & post COVID-19 and I don't even think twice about brining my son here. The owner and staff are using all the proper COVID-19 precautions: masks are required, temperature and health screenings are required, and everything is properly cleaned. It's a great place to take your up to 6 year olds for open play and they offer various classes, learning pods, and even date nights for parents where you can drop your child off and go eat a grown up meal (outside of course). read more

This place is awesome! Ms. Corrie is so great with the kids & super patient. The other teachers are also wonderful with the kids. We first found out about Dream City in April of this year when they had an Easter Egg Hunt. My daughter had so much fun and that is when we found out about the preschool program! The preschool program is a big hit with the kids & parents, alike! It gives a structured learning environment & socialization the kids need. My daughter loves craft-time & working with her hands! read more

As the rollercoaster that is 2020 descends into the fourth quarter, we can start to think about the businesses which made our year better... For me, at the very top of that list, is Dream City. The 2021 school year has presented unparalleled challenges for working parents - in providing a school day (as well as an after school) pod for 5-6 kids, Dream City is giving parents in Forest Hills an opportunity to truly make the best out of the school year. My 5yr old spent 5wks in a summer program which turned into her joining a morning pod for the days she isn't physically in school. Besides having supervision while she learns remotely, she is also able to socialize safely with her peers. How safe is it you ask? Well in my opinion.. VERY. With less than 6 kids per group, mandatory mask wearing and social distancing within the facility as well as daily professional cleaning, I feel extremely confident in allowing my kid to partake in indoor activities. There are videos all over their website which show the extraordinary measures that are taken to ensure a fully sanitized facility. The communication between staff and parents is exceptional - they will work with you to make your child's learning and enrichment experience ideal for your situation. The kids are learning, thriving and most of all, living their best existence during these incredibly difficult times. This place is worth every penny. Corrie and her team are an amazing addition to our neighborhood and Dream City is just what the kids needed for a little dose of normal in this very abnormal year. I highly recommend it to any parent looking to enrich their child's life. read more

I love this place. convenient for my kid and clean! the people are friendly and it's well kept. so much to do here.

We absolutely love Dream City! My only regret is not finding this place sooner! My son and I have been to many open play sessions and have also tried a few classes (sensory class being our favorite!). The space is so big and there are so many toys and activities for children. They have a ball pit, a construction theme wooden cubes area with pretend helmets, shovels, and construction vehicles, a slide, an interactive play screen, books and a reading corner, a pretend play kitchen and so much more. The classes are so well structured, giving 45 minutes of open play and 45 minutes of class time. Everything is thoroughly cleaned and organized. Prices for open play and classes are also very reasonable. When we went for our first time I thought we wouldn't stay for the entire 1.5 hour (open play on a weekday) but my son was engaged the entire time and transitioned from one play activity to the next. We just recently went for a weekend 2 hour play session. I highly recommend Dream City! read more

This place is amazing. Firstly, it's huge! There are two full levels of play area for kids to enjoy. I love how much space there is for my son to run around, especially downstairs. There are four smaller rooms off the main room downstairs. The play areas are thoughtfully designed and will keep your child entertained vist after visit. They have two ball pits, a slide, a roller coaster, tons of places to climb, swings, sensory areas, an obstacle course and much more. The staff is super friendly and interacts with your kids, and you. The owner, Corey, was so friendly. She said they are looking at expanding their hours to later in the evening. It's $30 for two hours. It would be nice to have an hour option as well, hopefully they will offer that in the future. They have a separate party room too. I'm so happy this placed open so close by. read more

I randomly came across Dream City in a quest of looking for a friendly, neighborhood play gym for my daughter. We really liked the place the first time we visited. My daughter (then 1 year old) absolutely fell in love with the place and kept asking to go back. Over the course of the next few months, we managed to squeeze in a few more trips to Dream City. When looking for a place to host my daughter's birthday party, we found out that Dream City hosts parties for kids and after speaking with Corrie, we didn't need to look any further. Dream City has a wide array of popular themes for kids parties to choose from or they can work with you in customizing your vision. As someone who is very particular about details, I probably sent a dozen or so emails during the planning process. Corrie and her entire staff was extremely helpful throughout, taking their time to answer all my queries and assure me that the event is in good hands. On the day of the event, we walked into a beautifully setup party room with everything decorated better than I had imagined. They were so particular with all the details, it felt as if we had done it ourselves. Corrie was our party lead on the day of the event and helped us through the entire event, coordinating every detail from food, drinks, timing, cake cutting, music. Not just the kiddos but all the adults had a blast. Dream City is a great location. Each and every item/toy placed inside is thoughtfully selected to allow kids of all ages to have the best time. I have been to a few play gyms in my tenure as a mom (:-P) and this is by far the cleanest and well organized. We will not hesitate in recommending this place to anyone who is looking for a spectacular play gym for their kids or for hosting kids parties. Needless to say, we will be going back quite a bit!!! Thank you to Corrie, A'lexiz and the entire team at Dream City for the best birthday party and making my kid really happy. read more

This is an amazing space to host a birthday party! Beautiful space and they staff really takes care of everything. The kids and adults had such a great time. Would highly recommend. read more

We are so glad we discovered this play gym and we now bring our 1 year old to open play on the weekends. We love how clean and open the space is. There are two floors of the gym - we can spend about an hour on each floor. The staff is also very friendly and responsive! read more

Had my son's 1st birthday party here. Total size of the group was 15 adults and 15 kids. The place is huge and it felt quite roomy and we didn't even use the upstairs floor too much. It's a great spot especially for kids under 6 or 7. All the kids had such a blast and it's very safe so you don't feel the need to hover over them all day long. Corrie set up the party room very nicely and we are so happy with how everything turned out. I really love this spot and so does my wife and we choose to do our party here even though we live quite a distance away in Brooklyn. Definitely will repeat. read more

Absolutely love Dream City. My daughter has gone for open play, art and science classes, and preschool prep. With covid, I was very hesitant about bringing her places, and I had a lot of anxiety choosing a place that felt safe for us. They really follow the covid guidelines, have very high standards for cleaning protocols, and they even updated their HVAC filters! Open play is great. It's easy to reserve a spot on their website, and my daughter always has a blast running around for 2 hours. It's two levels, so there's plenty of activities to entertain, and perfect to get all that toddler energy out. The classes are organized and separated by age group. They do a 45 minute class, and then the remaining 45 minutes is open play. Art classes were her favorite because she got to bring something home with her each time. We decided to send her there for preschool prep when she turned 2.5 years old, and even though she'd been there a few times already, she still had a really hard time with separation anxiety. She cried every day for several weeks, but Corrie and the staff were so wonderful handling it. She suggested that our daughter bring a comfort item to help with the anxiety. The teachers also gave her plenty of individual attention to make her feel more at ease, which I appreciated so much. She did eventually get over the separation anxiety, and now whenever we pass by Dream City, she will say "I want to go back to my old school." read more
