Awesome, massive climbing play area for kids... and adults. Climb, jump, dodge, slide, swing - basically wear your kids out. Ice cold AC. Small collection of video games. Free iced water. Previously, the place was just dirty, with lots of idle employees. It has since improved dramatically, with a friendlier staff and much cleaner facilities. I've held both of my sons' birthday parties here, and it's a great experience. The kids are off playing, and you can chill out with the other parents. It is loud, but that just means the kids are having fun. For birthdays, you're only allowed to bring the cake and party favors - no outside food or drink. Makes sense. You do have to supply the cake, and you can choose to purchase party favors from Kid Mania, or you can bring your own. You bring everything through the front, and your items are placed on a cart. Anyone attending your party will leave their gift on the same cart. The first hour of your party is dedicated to kid play. So, if you're party starts at 2, the kids play from 2 - 3. At 3, an announcement goes out over the loudspeaker, and you meet at you're assigned room. If you ordered pizza, the pizza and drinks will be served. The pizza is decent. The cake is next. You have the option of opening presents at the party - we did it the first time, but skipped it the second time. It can take a long time, and at some point you'll need to load everything into your vehicle. It's much easier to load up unopened gifts. Also, you don't embarrass the kid who wrapped her favorite toy, because she lives with grandma and grandma is on a fixed income. It's the sweetest thing, but kids can be brutal. Next, they'll take the kids out for group photos, then hand each child a game card loaded with $5. You can pretty much stay as long as you want afterward. You will be presented with the bill at the end of the party. There are no hidden costs, but a 15% gratuity is added to your bill. Of course you can choose to tip more. The best part - the kids have a fantastic time. There were some birthday parties in the public seating areas, and I don't think those were "paid" parties. The parents pulled tables together, laid out table cloths and set the tables themselves. Great way to save money, but on the flip side there wasn't enough seating for our group. Outside of the parties, I bring my kids here once or twice a month - sometimes more, depending on the weather. There's a room upstairs where kids aren't allowed, and I chill out in there while my sons play. Some parents will have their kids in the room with them, and that kind of sucks. I understand infants, but why keep your older kids in there when you have all that play area? They offer free wifi, but it can be slow at times. I'd like to come here and work in the summer, while my kids play, but need more consistent wifi speeds. I've had a few instances where my sons were bullied by older, bigger kids. My son was struck in the face on two different occasions, and punched in the stomach another time. In each case, the bully was a few years older and at least twice as big. Once the kid was at least three times his size. Management will talk to the other parent, but it turns into a he said/she said situation. One bully refused to come down. In every case, we ended up leaving the facility early. I managed the situation by teaching my son how to recognize and avoid assholes. The food really isn't that great. The pizza is decent; but the burgers, calzone, wraps, etc... were pretty subpar. I just take my sons here to play, and we eat elsewhere. I'd give this place 5 stars if they could solve the wayward child problem and serve better food. Would love to see a membership option, and faster wifi. But all in all this is a great place. read more

Seriously, if it wasn't absolute CHAOS here, we would come more often. The design of this place is unique and my kids have fun. I always wonder how often (if ever) the play place is cleaned though. I can't imagine the cold and flu germs hanging out in that place! I'd recommend going on a weekday when it is less chaotic. Be sure to bring socks and slip in some snacks and drinks for your kids if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on crappy food. Overall, a good place to let your kids get their wiggles out when it's hot, rainy or too cold. read more

A perfect place to burn all that kid energy laced with sugar! It's very convenient. Located near our neighborhood. Went on a Thursday night with my two nieces and it wasn't that busy. I could imagine having it packed with screaming children during weekends and when school is off. We will be back for some indoor fun when the weather doesn't want to cooperate. read more

This place is good is you have older kids, and by older, I mean 5 and above. Those younger will get trampled in the small and tight spaces. That said, if you go early enough in the morning, the crowd tends to be younger children, which allows for a better time for your youngster. There is room for parents to follow in and lots of area to explore. The slides are the best and there are all kinds of other entertainment there for additional fees, such as small games and rides. you can have your party here which we have seen and there are multiple rooms for that. Everyone has to pay admission, but it is a good value! read more

Fun place for the kids. Cheap enough to check out. I visited this place withu 6 year old nephew. He. Loved. It. If you child is ok enough for run off and play on his/her then this place is perfect. They can run around for hours. There are tables available for parents to sit and relax while the kids play. There is a seperete section designated for toddlers. Parents can accompany their children on this area to play. *The only issue is had was that it is hard to see your child in some areas due to blind spots, which made me a bit nervous. There is also an arcade on the second floor. The games were reasonably priced, but sadly a few of them were broken. Tip*There is hand sanitizer available I'm different areas, but I would recommend bringing your own since kids will be kids. Overall, it was worth the visit. read more

Great for letting your little ones burn off energy. They have a section for under 3, which my son is 1.5 years old. Definitely love this place. INDOORS AND ITS CHEAP!!! read more

This place is disgusting! Super dirty, chaotic, bathrooms stink, food left on tables while staff stands around chatting. I noticed several older kids running around pushing younger kids, parents nowhere. I mentioned to a staff member that a bunch of older kids were sitting in the 3 & under play structure blocking the younger kids & the staff member didn't do anything. I was looking for a fun indoor activity for my kids, but it was just a disaster in there so we left after being there for about 45 minutes. The layout of the place is awful & it's hard to keep track of kids, left feeling dizzy. Safari Run is a better option, it's clean & safe. read more

In the continued quest to find a indoor play area for our toddler we ended up at kids mania. We have been here twice now. They are open a lot later than other indoor play areas; which is highly appreciated. During the week too like 9pm. When we went there went that many kids there. There is a toddler area for 3 and below. No one was manning the area and so there were some bigger kids coming in there. One little girl that too a liking to my kid told me she was 6. I like that parents can go in with their kids into the play areas. I went in with my toddler and I saw other parents have fun with their kids in the big kids area. They don't allow out side food. But they have a food court and sitting areas. The second visit we got their kids size pepperoni pizza. Upstairs is an arcade area and a parents only area. The staff we met at the counter were friendly. Don't forget your socks. You can always purchase some from them. read more

This an indoor playground in the 75 and Legacy area. It has a huge play structure to climb all over, which is great on a rainy day if you have older kids. The area for the young kids is a little small and lacked in variety, so my 2 year old wanted to climb with my 7 year old, which was hard for him and scary for me, since I couldn't follow and my 7 year old tends to forget that the 2 year old isn't quite as fast or tall as him yet. They still had tons of fun. They also have some arcade games, a quiet area for adults and food. The food is the usual kids-place snack food and was the expected quality. But then you're not there for the food. As far a cleanliness goes, I didn't have any complaints. It looked well maintained. On a rainy day, this is definitely a good place to go to wear your kids out while having fun. read more

Been here a few times with the kiddos, a great value at $6 for unlimited play time out of the heat (or cold). Great place for parents to hang out with wifi and available drinks to purchase. Would certainly recommend and come back! Usually kept consistently clean as well which is a plus! read more

My toddler really enjoyed his time here. The arcade games were age appropriate and he was able to play on most of them. It's cleaner than I remember when we came to 2 years ago so I was happy about that. The big jungle gym is big enough for adults too, so if you need to burn off some energy- I mean supervise the little one, you'll have no problem getting around. Lots of food options but we just ordered a few snacks so can't comment on how the quality. read more

Kid Mania is about as good as these places get. It was very clean and I like how they promoted their use of a germicide on the equipment. Parents can sit in the center and have a good view of the jungle gym and vice versa for the kids. The Food is a nice convenience too. The Kid Free Zone is OK but nothing special, there are limited comfy chairs in it, the majority of seating are simple chairs in it. Most Parents favor the cafeteria style waiting area on the main floor. Better come soon before it gets too sticky as most of these places do with time. read more

KidMania - View from the upper level arcade area - Arcades Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great for the kiddos to burn off energy. Very affordable, unless you have to eat there, that's where they rack up. Not very friendly for kids under 3. It's as clean as a kid place with food would be, crumbs on the floor and tables, but nothing gag worthy. I bet a birthday party there would be awesome! read more

Pretty cool place. I can definitely see the appeal if your kiddo is over 3 yrs old; however, for the crawling and little ones it's kind of a nightmare. My daughter was stepped on and kicked a few times by older kids, at least 7-10 yrs old! The staff refused to have the older children abide by the rules of the "baby" area... so it's up to you to be the bad guy, even though the rules are clearly posted 3 and YOUNGER ONLY. On that note the area provided for little ones is soooooooo microscopically tiny! If it weren't so cheap I might've been sad, but we DID drive all the way from Addison...soooo.... Eigh. We ALWAYS have fun and made the best of it... but we probably won't return until our little one is a lot bigger and can utilize the full facility. ... which is AMAZING BTW! WOW...SOOOO HUGE! read more

Celebrate my daughters 7th Birthday here and let me tell you, I am so happy I did!! For about $240 for 12 kids we got a memorable birthday. Included in the price is pizza for kids, drinks, arcade card, T-Shirt for the birthday girl, 1/2 off coupons for all kids, and free maze play!! You can add ice cream or more pizza if you like. The staff is superb. I sat all of my directions on the cart and when we got into the blue party room all the decorations were laid out perfectly. I did have to lift a finger to decorate, serve or entertain. The staff here is professional and amazing. This is the best birthday deal ever and my daughter and her friends had so much fun!!! read more

Took my kid in to have some great fun! Went 10 minutes after opening and unbelievably the floors were filthy! There was paper food and all kind of debris all over every area of the floor. No one clean the night before or before opening! Even though there's tons of fun for the kiddos please kid mania clean up!! read more

The lack of cleanliness is on another level. Even worse, lots of parents and children disobey the rules where they wear their shoes on the equipment - or they dont wear socks. I personally think it's so rude that parents dont even follow the rules - come on! What about setting a standard?? I reported this to the manager on site and he said he would send a staff member to patrol the area. Guess what? He didn't. We're not coming back. And I'd recommend that you don't come here either, unless you like stinky feet. read more

Great place for big kids to run and get some energy out, especially during bad weather. I took a group of 9 year old girls and a couple 12 year old boys and they all had a great time. They liked chasing each other playing hide and go seek and tag. They also liked the fun obstacles and swings with in the mazes. We will definitely come back when the weather is not good and the kids need to run. Also, I liked how they have a parent only room with all glass windows that's on the 2nd story and you can over look the whole place and keep track of your kids while enjoying a little less noise. Only con- the placer definitely could use more cleaning. They need to have more people vacuuming and wiping surfaces/ tables and walls all needed cleaning. read more

I took my grandkids to the Plano location on Friday March 17th. it was the worst experience I have had with an indoor playground. A little girl got hurt and had a serious nose bleed. The staff didn't have a clue what needed to be done( I don't believe that anyone there was over 18). Two Gentlemen there with their kids and grandkids took over and cleaned up the blood. This was after about 20 mins. The blood was everywhere when the accident occurred. The staff didn't shutdown the area. Kids were still running , jumping and playing were all of the blood was. This one dad stood in the toddler area and didn't let the kids get into the blood that had dropped down onto that playset. it was a mess and in my opinion very unsafe. There needs to be a hazmat protocol taught to the workers in a case like this one. The playground involved shut down temporarily and cleaned to keep the other children clean and safe. The little girl was ok, her parent came and thanked us. The staff didn't tend to her like they should have. it was just an overall bad experience . read more

First off this place gets crazy busy on the weekends. That's to be expected but what wasn't expected was that adults were in the play gym. Yes ADULTS. The bigger kids do get pushy with the smaller ones. I would not recommend to bring any child under 4 yrs. they have a play area for the smaller kids but no one enforces the age restriction rule. The staff here are mostly teens that have no customer service skills whatsoever. They all look Miserable working here. The food is overpriced and low quality. The pizza is bland. No flavor even with the 3 toppings that I ordered. Little Caesar's tastes better. I understand they are catering to kids but don't serve us low quality pizza and charge $30 for it. read more

We love taking our Kids to the Fort Worth location. So clean staff is friendly and helpful they go above and beyond! Very FUN!

For $1, this is a great place. I like that they separate the baby area from big kids. Weekends can get very crowded with all the birthday parties. Never really tried the food but they have basic stuff like pizza, hotdogs etc. read more

Great place for kids day out.This is much like Amazing Jake's but even better for kids saving $$$$. Huge place ,never felt like crowded with over 100 kids over the Christmas eve. Setup is in 3 pieces. One for kids aged over 6 completely connected,my 8 year Angel spent few hours and still wanted to go.. There is another kids zone for 3 yr olds,isloated from big boys. They allow parents to guide/take care of kids, so its like fun for adults as well(can't beat it at 1$). Second floor is motorized games just like Amazing jakes, you get to buy credit on card and use them for games.Games are prices 50c to 1.75$ and no paper tickets.pts get stored to card..pretty smart. They have a lil canteen ,would recommend stuff for kids.Each order took 25-30mins and was okie. They have special rooms for birthday parties. Overall ,looks decent for a kids day out in budget. Thanks kid Mania..Will keep cing you more.. read more

I have been bringing my son here pre- and post- COVID and he just loves it. He begs to go to "the indoor playground" and it is so affordable. I can work on my laptop while he wears himself out... win-win. Minus one star for typical kid food but otherwise this is a great option for any day or everyday. read more

I've been bringing my daughter here for a while now and used to be very impressed that they took the safety of the children very seriously. The front desk employees would not allow anybody to leave with a child without checking that their handstamp matched the children they were with. It gave me a very good feeling that nobody was going to snatch my kid and run off with her. Last night, I took her to play and the door alarm kept going off because the front desk employee was more interested in her phone than keeping the customers safe. Anytime the alarm went off, she just hit the button to cancel the alarm without any further thought. When I brought this fact up to the manager on duty, I got the distinct feeling that he didn't really care and was just happy to see me leave. Let me tell you, I will not be back and encourage others to stay away until they place the emphasis back on security like it used to be. read more

I brought my daughter here for the first time today and she had a blast! It was very similar to Bonkers in Lewisville, but new and improved! It's much closer to my house and if you read my review for Bonkers..you'll see that I'll never go there again after Kid Mania has arrived! It was $6 for her age and $1 for adults. Pretty decent price for unlimited play time. Younger kids are a bit cheaper. We ordered some sweet potato fries as a snack that were $2.99. They were pretty small so glad it was just a snack. The parents lounge upstairs was nice and quiet and you could see the kids playing from the windows. Overall it was a great time and my daughter had a blast! We will be back! read more

Great setup for kids to go crazy: climb, slide, swing. You won't get much supervision from the workers so if you have little ones then be prepare and grab some socks and head In with your little ones. Because the big kids will run your little kids over. They have an area just for "3 and under" but that area is connected to the big kid side..... Humm? So the big kids were all over the little kid side. I had to yell at a couple of the big kids bullying little ones a couple of times. They also have arcade type games. Pretty cheap ranging from 25 cents to maybe about 1.50. Not bad. I spend about $20 for my 3 yr old. Some machine didn't work correctly and some had signs on them that it was broken. When I mentioned this to the manager at the front, I was greeted with the awesome attitude of "why should I care" type of look. The workers DID NOT want to be there. I get it. There are a bunch of screaming kids and you hate it. Well maybe you should get another job. Maybe I expect someone to provide a decent service when I pay $6 for admission and $1 for socks and other $$ for games. Anyway- if I'm in the area I might return. But I will join my little one so he won't get push around. Maybe this is good for age 6 and up where they can start standing up for themselves. Although my son didn't let anyone push him around lol. Oh it was not disgusting in there like you would expect. It was OK on the cleanliness. The bathrooms wasn't a disaster which surprise me. Typical kid place. Good for burning off all that crazy energy. Just bring your own socks! They are required for kids if they want to climb! read more

Took my nephew here to check out the place and was somewhat disappointed. If your child is around 2 years old I don't recommend coming here because the playground here is not fit for them. I was hoping that there was a slide of some sort inside for younger kids but no luck here. The nice thing about Kid Mania is the prices are low. They also have a nice arcade with good prices and a nice eating area for family. With that said, I'm not sure if I will return here because the place doesn't look very clean. read more

Great place for the kids to pay and go wild. My son even hit the jackpot on one of the machine. Woo hoo read more

KidMania - Hit the jackpot - Arcades Near Me - Plano, Texas

Our 3 years old loves this place and so do we. It's so toddler/young kids friendly. The maze are perfect for younger kids. I love the fact that it's not too huge and you can easily keep an eye on the kids playing while you sit and have a coffee/snack or just "sit." Now if you are a parent to an active toddler, you would know what a luxury it is to "just sit" without having to worry about them getting hurt etc etc The restaurant has some decent options for dinner. So after all the running around, and some pizza you take home a very content kid. read more

I found this gem after going to see a movie at Cinemark at Legacy. The price is wonderful and you can choose how much you really want to get involved priced wise. My daughter and I went and I believe we spent 20 dollars total. 7 for admissions, 10 on an arcade card and 3 dollars for a large drink. My daughter had hours of fun playing with other children. It is really nice to see a place that has thought about the children and parents both. I am sure the place gets a lot of revenue from parents who are literally just there for hours, and I don't think the parents would mind because their kids are having so much fun. The staff is made up of almost exclusively teenagers and customer service is as good as can be expected by teenagers, but it didn't make my experience any bit worse. It's incredibly safe for children, and safe for the adults if they do need to get some work done on their laptops. They offer free wifi that works well. Was able to edit some photos and upload them there. The arcade games are certainly targeted towards a younger audience and that makes sense. We had a lot of fun playing them and they were all very clean. I can't speak to the quality of the food, but I am sure that will change as this is definitely a place we will be going back to! read more

I like that this place is secure as far as not allowing anyone but the original parent to depart with a child. However it's very expansive and there are high play structures kids get kind of far away from parents bc parents are too big to climb in them. The major problem that occurs is that there seem to be a LOT of kid fights. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the debt shui or what. But a LOT of pretty violent little kid attacks seem to occur when we have been there. Some kid wanted in a car ride my son was having and I'd plaid for. I was fine with him riding in the passenger seat but he wanted to drive and my little boy wasn't having that so he told the little boy "no" as he tried to climb in from the drivers side door. I looked around for the child's mother and she was not paying any attention. In fact she couldn't be identified from any other mother there. As I was about to gently tell the little boy to please get down- he clawed my sons little face and took out chunks of skin! I made the manager find the mother and I let her know that she needs to watch her (violent aggressive) kid instead of stuff her face with pizza and chit chat with her friends. She didn't have much to say for herself. That was the worst experience there. The manager didn't even kick the people out. I guess for me if the management had asked them to leave bc she wasn't supervising her child and bc her child was violent- then I'd have given a better rating. But based on how it was handled I just can't suggest it as a fun place. Then again they've got a room for grown ups to go watch tv so it's not really a "watch your kid" kind of a culture I suppose. Seems like an insurance adjusters nightmare waiting to unfold. read more

The facility itself is really nice and pretty well thought out. I also agree with the other reviews about the slippery tile floors though. Bring socks with grips on the bottom if your kids run everywhere like mine do. The big plus is how much room they have. It's huge. And if your kids like to climb on McDonald's play land and such, this place will be heaven. My first visit was on New Years Day. Not sure how that affected the staff morale, but they were a pretty mopey bunch and not particularly helpful. Two kiosks upstairs allow you to recharge your cards. Both were out of order. Several games broken. I mentioned the kiosks to the front desk - didn't get much interest. The food seemed passable, but again, staff attitude was pretty grim. Also, they're free water was just sitting around in an open top pitcher (well, once they filled up the empty one sitting around). I thought that seemed a little unsanitary, but maybe it was just me. Not a huge deal. read more

This place is great for kids of all ages. Food is good, prices are good. Everyone in your group are stamped with the same number, and there is an alarm if you try to leave without being checked out. So it's very safe. Lots of arcade games to choose and they have a toddler area that is a design for kids 3 and under. read more

I booked my daughter's 4th birthday party here and was pleasantly surprised. I booked the party based on the fact that it was a new kid place in Plano that none of the kids in our family had had a party at yet (we have a lot of neices and nephews, trying to be original is difficult) The price for the party was incredibly reasonable. I did not book a party with pizza (priced out at 1 slice per child) because I had seen poor reviews on here about their food. However, some of the parents ordered their own food and what I tried was pretty good. They had good potato skins and a pretty good panini for that matter. After the party room the kids had "open play" which was fun for all of them, even for us parents too. Rather than sit in the adult room, we got right in there with them! The only thing I really didn't like was that we had to be there an hour before our event or we would have forfeited our party room. I don't understand this policy since I had already paid the deposit and verified our party time with them by phone twice. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been so crowded when we first arrived. It was so packed it was standing room only! There really should be a cut-off as to how many "walk-ins" they allow at one time. read more
