Just an update on my review since it's been awhile and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with Inna and Christi, who own and run this business every day! I came in on a late Saturday afternoon and it was perfect... there was only one other customer here. Except for the kids music playing over the speakers, it was "quiet" and calm. Everything was orderly and clean and my daughter was able to play with everything she wanted. Some notes for you who haven't been here: - No outside food or drinks. And this rule is serious. I found out from Christi that this is because due to their business designation, they are not allowed to have potential allergens (eg. peanuts, soy, sesame, etc) brought into the building. They are just following regulations and are not just trying to generate more revenue... though it's good to support local businesses! - Make sure everyone is wearing socks. This is one of the reasons it's so clean here! - It's $15 per child for the day, with no fee for adults. - Paying with card is 4% up charge (due to processing charges from the payment company), so bring cash or pay by Zelle. The owners are super nice as long as you are willing to ask questions and let them know what you need. They are kind to the kids and welcoming to the adults. One of the toys was out of batteries and Inna immediately replaced them so my daughter could have more fun! There's also an extensive menu of snacks and drinks for you and your child, so it's a good place to relax (as much as you can while having kids ) and have a nice coffee. Definitely come by and support this local business... especially when there's low traffic! read more

My grandkids are 2 & 3 years old. They loved it & were entertained for several hours. We could sit at the tables, sip a cafe & watch them have a ball. They loved using their imaginations cooking outdoors& shopping. I think their favorite was the little roller coaster ride. We ate lunch there too. read more

I've been taking my two toddlers here for awhile now. It's easy to watch my kids play since I can see the entire play area at once. The place is always very clean and staff is very nice! The food here (especially the waffles and coffee) is very good as well! I would recommend this place to anyone with younger kids! read more

My daughter was invited to a birthday party and this place was so nice and clean. Friendly owners.

I've never been humiliated nor discriminated against in all of the years I've lived here. I used to enjoy bringing my kids here. I've come numerous times since this place has opened with my two kids (4 & 1) . I've had mommy and me dates here and have recommended this place to friends and family with little ones. Today I was so excited to bring my kids for story time and for my daughter to play. There was someone new at the door. When I said "hello just one" she questioned me about my son's age (still in a baby carrier) which is perfectly acceptable. I replied with "he's one." She said she'd have to charge me. I said but I've never paid for him he doesn't walk and he's not going to play. She said she'd speak with the owner. I had already paid for my daughter so I went to settle into a corner with my son. I moved him into the highchair to finish his feeding. The woman approached me and asked me for a barcode for my daughter to show proof I've been here before. She told me to check my email. I didn't have a "barcode". So she proceeded to look for my daughter by her name in the system and found her. She looked over at my son then to me and said no outside food. I said he has allergies, it's his food. The owner approached me but by then everyone was staring. How humiliating. I began to gather my things to leave and flagged down my daughter. The owner asked what was the problem. I told her I've been here numerous times and you've seen me here all of those times. She said "no outside food or drink" I proceeded to tell her my son has allergies and she replied with we have organic food. I've never brought in a tumbler but had noticed others with tumblers at their side (regardless of their no food/drink sign). I brought mine and my daughter's waters as well as my son's formula and allergen free baby puree. I looked around and pointed out how others had their tumblers out. With which she replied "yes we have a water fountain". I was there for about 3 minutes total and asked for a refund in which she of course denied. What I thought would be a nice treat turned out to be a disappointing & discriminating morning. I will never come here again. read more

Kid’s World & Cafe - Tumblers allowed for others I suppose - Recreation Centers Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

What a cute, family owned business! We were immediately greeted with smiling faces from the staff! The space is small enough for parents/caregivers to sit back and relax. But, it's big enough for your little one's to run around and explore! They have a small café with coffee, smoothies, and more! Their whipped coffee drink was phenomenal! We will be back! Here's to wishing this business growth and success! What a great addition to our local kiddo place rotation! read more

Such a cute place!!! Brought my 2 and 4 year old there and they loved it! The owners are very welcoming!

I have been coming here with my daughter since they have opened (about a year ago), and I have had nothing but positive experiences! This place is perfect for working from home, as it is a rather quiet environment with comfortable seating and plenty of lighting. The food is reasonably priced and very delicious, and my daughter has so much fun! read more

Adorable play place for the kids. Extremely friendly owners and very welcoming. Everything was clean and food/drinks were good and reasonable priced. We will be back soon! read more

This place is so cute for little kids! My boys (2 & 3) loved it! They also have coffee, kids meals, and great sandwiches! Would def recommend for anyone wanting to get their kids out of the house and play! Bonus the owners are the sweetest!! read more

An awesome place where you can have a cafe and your child can have fun at the same time. Next time I will try to work from there too since there is a WI-FI. read more

Absolutely loved Kid's World and Cafe! We were immediately greeted by friendly faces. Our 2.5 daughter had a great time with all of the toys and activities available. The snacks and drinks were well priced. They even ran out to get me decaf coffee since they didn't have any! The $12 admission is a daily rate so you can come back after nap! The couches and tables and chairs were so comfortable. It was so clean! We will definitely be back. read more

We've been here once before and had a great experience. Last night my mom was there with my son (I met them when I got off work) they closed at 6 and I walked in at 5:30. The younger lady working was extremely rude from the minute I walked in and instantly told me to leave because they close in 30 mins. I told her my son was here and I was just coming to pick him up. I let him play for a few more minutes before gathering our stuff. There was another family still there as well she followed the kids around picking up and putting back every toy they touched while huffing and puffing as we were putting our shoes on at 5:45 she had her jacket and shoes on already waiting for both families to leave. Ive never felt less welcome to a children's play place than I did last night and I wasn't even there for 15-20 minutes. We definitely won't be back especially with several other newer play places in the area. read more

We were so happy to see a new play place opened up because we live near by. This is a perfect place to pop in for a few hours and give the kids (and yourself) a little space to play. Let me start with the staff, because as a parent I think that's really important. They are incredibly kind. It is obvious that they care deeply about their business and want to do what they can to make their customers feel at home. They are accommodating and will make their way around to each table asking if you need anything. They do a wonderful job of keeping the place clean, tidy and inviting for parents and children. Moving onto the play space, it is CLEAN. I hesitate to say simple, because that can have a negative connotation, but it's not overstimulating. The music is soft and toys aren't overwhelming. There is just enough to engage little thinkers and get them moving and playing. They offer coffee, juice, smoothies, snacks and lunch options. Wifi available if you need to answer some emails while you can. Also, the vanilla latte is great :) Highly recommend! read more
