I normally don't write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. I came in with my sister-in-law and nephews, and since it was my first time, I asked the front desk employee, Nina (I believe that was her name), about the pricing and process. Instead of explaining the process, she repeatedly asked me to have my sister-in-law confirm that I was with them before allowing me through the front gate. My sister-in-law was already inside caring for her 5-month-old and 3-year-old, yet she was asked to come to the front gate twice to confirm that I was with them. The facility itself is very nice, clean, and welcoming, and the baristas were incredibly sweet. My only concern was the front desk communication. I think the front desk staff should explain the process and policies clearly, especially to first-time visitors such as aunts, uncles, or grandparents who are there with family. A little more patience and professionalism would have made the experience much better. I'm giving 3 stars mainly because the baristas were so kind and welcoming. Otherwise, based on my experience at the front desk, I would have given 1 star. read more

We stopped by this place to get some downtime and some shelter from the heat, during our SD vacation trip. Best indoor playground I have been to so far. Crowd was moderate and the space is designed to be calming and NOT overstimulating for the kids. There was music class during our visit (person teaching nursery rhymes with a guitar), ending with bubble time. This was great. Cafe is good. Decent coffee, service and seating space. read more

We stopped at Kids & Coffee on our way home from a weekend in San Diego, mostly because we needed to tire out our 2-year-old before the drive home so she could easily nap in the car (mission accomplished!). The space is really cute, clean, and has a lot of fun areas for toddlers to explore and play. An hour was more than enough time for our little one to run around and burn off some energy. The cafe is also a huge plus for parents. The coffee was just okay, but good enough, and they have a nice selection of pastries and hot food, including kid-friendly options. The only downside is that it's located in a warehouse complex, so it was a little tricky to find at first. That said, there's plenty of parking, which makes it easy once you know where you're going. We paid about $30 for our toddler and two adults for an hour, which felt very reasonable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, fun indoor spot for little ones. If we're in the area again, we'd definitely come back! read more

We drop into Kids & Coffee about once a quarter, and my lil one loves it. It's definitely on the splurgey-side at $20/hr, but we work it in as a special treat. The space has stayed pretty much the same over the years. Staff is friendly, but overall remain hands off. The space doesn't have too many hiding spots, which I appreciate. It's still fun & imaginative for kids, while also not being a black hole of play space that parents can't access. It's an aesthetically pleasing space & not overstimulating. I have noticed on a couple occasions that the bathroom was out of soap, so sometimes a little is left to be desired on the cleanliness front. Coffee bar is convenient. A nice mix of standard drinks & snacks, priced fairly as well. read more

Best thing for a mom who needs a coffee and some down time. The kids love it and wanted to go again. The floor is padded and provides different areas for different ages. It seems as if they go off the integrity of the parents to leave when the time is up. They do give you a color coded sticker with the time you are supposed to leave but I didn't see anyone really enforcing it. When you enter, you check in and enter through the gate. Overall, great for kids and a coffee break read more

Kids & Coffee - Vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Stopped by Kids & Coffee on a short staycation in SD, and it was incredible! The space was so much bigger than we expected and had plenty to do for our kids. Our oldest loved the large play structures and the youngest loved the trampoline and block building area. The cafe team was great and served us quickly, and we were impressed by the number of food items available. The coffee was alright - not amazing - but not terrible. One thing to note if you go is that the café is tucked into a corner so not every seat from the café has a line of site to the play area. And if you have drinks, you have to stay in the café. So if you were planning on having a relaxing coffee, while watching your kids from afar, that is not exactly an option. My only note for improvement would be for the staff to do a little more to help manage particularly physical/destructive children, if/when the parents are not doing enough. When we visited, there was one young child who was running around knocking kids over, knocking over blocks, and just generally being really hyper. That is totally understandable for a young kid, but the parents were nowhere to be found, and the staff clearly looks concerned, but didn't really do anything to help mitigate the situation. read more

I really like this little space! I've been to a bunch of these kind of places and I definitely think this one is better for younger kids like six or seven and under my friend and I brought her poor little daughter's on a day when their preschool was closed. We were able to work in the coffee area. They have a full breakfast sandwiches and a breakfast menu as well as pizza lunch for kids, snacks, juice, etc. It seemed really clean and wasn't too crowded on a Friday morning. I like that you can see through a lot of the play area so I could spot my daughter easily. We had a great time here and would definitely come back. read more

Best indoor playground I've been to in So Cal so far. The jungle gym, ball pits, trampoline areas are all well kept and safely designed. Most areas have cushions and are padded. It feels safer than other indoor playgrounds we have been to. It can def get crowded when there's a birthday party going on. Multiple hand sanitizers and air purifiers around the place. Staff vacuum regularly. The cafe is a real cafe and serves decent food compared to many other playgrounds. It would be a perfect place if the kitchen and market play areas are better stocked with toys and organized. Overall a great experience and will return back if we are around the area again. read more

Really confused by the vibe lately. We've been coming 2x a month for months now and it feels as though they're starting to cut corners to avoid costs. Tonight, the cafe was closed (no barista, no chairs, no food). When we asked they said they're closing the cafe at 1:45 now--this is literally 50% of why adults go. Your company and brand is literally Kids & Coffee without the cafe you're just Kids. And no, you are NOT allowed to bring food or beverages from outside despite no longer serving it. Aside from this so much is broken down, taped off, and just starting to feel uncared for. You have to invest continuously in your business for it to work otherwise this is quickly fading out. read more

Iced campfire mocha latte - 6.5/10 Iced cherry white mocha matcha - 7.5/10 GO ON WEDNESDAYS FOR HALF OFF KIDS 2 HOUR PLAYTIME!!! Truly a wonderful shop with lots of fun, unique flavors for coffees & teas! They also have lots of different snacks and pastries available for purchase. They were accommodating for my gestational diabetes; NO OUTSIDE FOOD is allowed but because of my diagnosis, they let me bring in my own protein bar to manage my blood sugar. The front desk person, Andrew, was very accommodating, friendly and informative. Play area is for kids of all ages - both our 3 year old and 14 month old had a blast and there were multiple different areas for them to have fun. read more

This was my second visit here, and overall I had a good experience. In my opinion, the experience would be even better if the check-in process were a little easier and faster. The play area is very clean and well-maintained, which I really appreciate. I think this concept is best suited for children between 1 and 3 years old. Older kids may get bored after a while since there aren't many activities available for them. The staff members are friendly, helpful, and attentive. They made us feel welcome and were always willing to assist. The drinks were not my favorite, but since the kids get an hour of playtime, I ended up purchasing something while waiting for them to play. As for pricing, it seems comparable to other indoor playgrounds in the area. Overall, it's a nice and clean place for younger children to have fun. read more

Came in on a Saturday, the previous day I went online and tried making reservations and the website was down. So I figured we could just walk in. Upon arrival we were told we needed reservations when we tried making them again the site was down. It was very difficult for no reason. Staff was nice and trying to be helpful. There is no coffee allowed in the kids area which defeats the whole purpose of kids and coffee? If you get a coffee you need to drink it in the cafe area but it's so cramped and small. My daughter had a good time and the staff were trying their best. Overall prob won't go again and don't recommend. read more

Kids & Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Finally got a chance to experience this amazing concept on a Saturday morning 1015am. Reservations are pretty straightforward online- just make sure you also fill out the waiver online cause if you don't it's quite a hassle trying to do so with excited kids who want to just rush and play. The lobby is small but has kids tables and a few toys to help distract them while you fill out the waiver. Large cubbies are available and can easily fit 4+ shoes, bags, jackets, etc. I love the feeling of cleanliness of the whole place. The large open play area, the various slides and obstacle courses for all ages. The Cafe is a major+ with breakfast items, lunch items, and even adult beverages. You can bring your laptop and somewhat work there if you have to. Only thing missing from making this a 5star in my book, was the staff on the floor seemed blah (no smiles, no hello). Like they had a rough prior night and seemed they needed coffee more than the parents there lol. Definitely a solid 4 star place. Love that you can bring your own slip resistant socks and not forced to buy. But they have socks in stock if your forget and adults can use their own socka. Would come back again since my kids love the ball pit and not many places have a clean open ball pit. read more

This place is a very unique concept ! Whoever came up with the idea is A GENIUS !! A place where you can have sip and talks while your kids explore this beautiful jungle gym place is amazing !! As a mom it's hard to get in those needed girl social hour and this place definitely provides that ! The servers are quick and friendly! You have from your typical coffee to special drinks and bites ! Even something for the day drinkers lol This place is a 10/10 in my books If your a mom in need of some girl talks go here and let the kids frolic while you have your talks ! read more

This is a great place to take your little ones. The play area is super cute and has good, safe areas even for the younger ones. It's my third time coming here and it's worth it. The staff is friendly and holds dance sessions once in a while. There is a cute cafe area, but have not tried it yet. Will have to try it next time. read more

5 stars for the space, design and activities for the kids. It's awesome. But for the price and what they charge they should have more workers keeping up with the facility. The bathrooms were disgusting, the pretend play areas didn't really have any of the toys in them. The ball puts had the hard lego type building blocks in them. I literally found myself cleaning up like at home organizing the place. And there was zero enforcement of the baby area. Big kids playing in there. I think doing a sweep every half or hour on each play area would make it more fun for the kids, parents and worth the money. read more

Bravo to the owners of this establishment! We trekked from OC to Carlsbad to let the kiddos burn energy and this did not disappoint. We made reservations online and filled out the waiver prior to entering which made the process smooth and quick. *Reminder to all parents, bring grip socks for kids and have regular socks for yourself! The establishment is large and clean. There's a play area for 24 months and under, as well as structures for kids ranging from 3-10 years old. They have mini kitchens and grocery store and had music time going on when we arrived. My kids loved the songs and musical instruments that they were allowed to play with. The ball pits and slides were a big hit! This place has was well though out. They have complimentary diapers ranging from sizes 1-5, bathroom shoes, step stools for hand washing, a coffee shop inside, a nursing room, a quiet room aka "the comfort room" and little books and crannies for everyone to go through. My kids were loving every bit of it and it didn't feel cramped. We didn't get to try their food or coffee since we had other plans after but will be back to try it next time. * Note: no outside food is allowed here. If you buy coffee, you will need to enjoy it in the cafe area. read more

Took my almost 2 yo & our friend's son who is almost 3 yo & they both had such an amazing time! This is such an aesthetic indoor playground. Think clean & modern version of those old McDonalds play structures. It is really nicely done! PROS: - free diapers & wipes (though when we went, they were out of the size we needed) - coffee & alcohol available for purchase - play area for younger babies & the rest are areas for older kids - adults can easily climb most of the play structure & play in the ball pit with their kids - great parking - has tables for parents to work & relax Areas to Improve: -there's a random "drop"/open ledge on a very high play structure beside the trampoline & blocks area. Definitely feel like that should be secured in some way. Seems like an accident waiting to happen. - no staff are patrolling/watching any of the kids so multiple kids were jumping on the trampoline even though it said 2 kids max, but it was not enforced at all - at least 1 thing in the pretend market was broken, such that a wooden bar which seemed like it was supposed to stay up, was hanging down read more

Went one time. My kid caught a staph infection and a virus all in one go. Kids get sick and I expect it, but dang. Also, the food was horrid. Coffee wasn't bad. Play structures are cool. My kids had fun, but it definitely wasn't worth the following week (still going) of illness. Tried to work while my kids played. There's one staff member in the play area, who wasn't really monitoring the kids. There also weren't really plugs if you need to charge. I had to rearrange furniture to situate myself next to the plug. read more

My husband and I really like Kids & Coffee and plan to keep coming back. The space is fun and such a great concept for families. However, there are some safety issues that I believe need attention. My main concern is the 24-month-and-under area. During a busy Sunday visit, multiple older, more active children repeatedly ran through the space, jumped into the baby ball pit, climbed over the low walls, jumped down from the turf hill into the baby section, and played very close to crawling infants. One older child accidentally swung one of the baby toys and hit my 8-month-old on the head, knocking him over and causing him to cry. His mom immediately came into the infant section, apologized, and had her child apologize, which I appreciated. What concerned me most was seeing another child climb onto and walk along the wall separating the infant section from the front lobby--not even part of the play structure--and then jump down into the baby area. She accidentally kicked my husband on the way down while he was sitting beside our son. A staff member was standing nearby, clearly saw her walking on the wall, and simply walked away without redirecting her or saying anything. I understand that parents are responsible for supervising their own children. However, during our visit, several parents did not prevent their older children from entering and actively playing in the infant section. When staff directly witness behavior that is clearly unsafe, especially around crawling babies, I would expect them to step in. The current layout also makes the baby area feel like an extension of the larger play space. The low walls, open entrance, connecting tunnel, turf hill, and small age-limit sign--which is only visible from one side--seem to encourage older children to enter, climb, and jump into the area. We genuinely enjoy this place and will continue visiting, but I hope the owners consider clearer signage, more consistent staff redirection during busy periods, and possible future design changes to make the infant area safer and more clearly separated. read more

Saw the great reviews and wanted to come check out this play place! Came on a weekday morning, and it's pretty busy! Love the decor and aesthetics, the modern calming color choices are so nice, and everything is clean! It's a pretty big space so there's a good variety of climbing and jumping activities for the kids! There are 2 play houses with foods and grocery, a small trampoline, big ball pit with slides, a rope bridge, rock climbing walls, climbing towers, monkey bar rings and blocks! 2 hours went by quickly and my kids loved playing. Would highly recommend and we will be back next time we are in the area! read more

This place is cute and clean. I did appreciate that you can make reservations; however, you cannot do any walk ins unless you make a reservation first. The day we went was a spur of the moment decision and didn't make reservations in advance. We walked in and was told we wouldn't be able to enter unless reservations were made and then paid. The staff was nice but I was a little frustrated since my phone for some reason wasn't able to access the website and I had to ask the staff to use their phone. After 15 mins and signing the waiver, we were able to enter. Since it was a midweek afternoon, the place wasn't busy so our kids enjoyed the light crowds. When early evening hit was when it started to get busier. The place was clean and structures were new. It's a great place to spend a couple hours with the kids if you plan on going. There's a small cafe available to purchase snacks and drinks onsite. You would need to stay in the designated area, however. This place is hidden in the industrial area of Carlsbad, so look out for the small signs otherwise you may miss it! read more

AMAZING!!! Went for a playdate and birthday party for my 6-year-old. My 9-year-old was tagging along and was fully prepared to hunker down with a book while the little kids played. But both girls had a blast running around their play structures. The owners really thought of everything from making sure everything is padded, to having a great space for parties and classes, to having a quiet room when the kids are sensory overloaded and need a mini time out. Since the facility is shoeless, they even have slippers to borrow when going into the restrooms! And extra diapers in case someone runs out. So thoughtful!!! Oh and there is a grabber machine. My girls LOVE those. We all enjoyed lunch thoroughly. I highly recommend their eggs and bacon sandwich with avocado - hot, fresh, and delicious. Their pizza is made locally and the crust is nice and crusty as it should be. I love the options for mimosas or beer, but I found their coffee to be absolutely delightful! They also had an earl grey lavender matcha that had a lovely delicate flavor without being overwhelming or too sweet. Probably best caffeinated drinks in the area! The kids had their all time favorite meal - Dino nuggets and mac n cheese. We also had some locally made gelato afterwards! They have everything!!! read more

The overall concept is good. Definitely more options for children that are older and walking. Only suggestion is if there is an area and option to bring children that are young that the area be better. The overall toys in the 24 months or less are either broken, not the most clean, or there is very few variety and options available. For example there is a bunch of broken balls in the pit, a piano mat that doesn't work, and toys with dust/dirt. Also better staff supervision to keep older children coming into the area. Although ultimately it is the parents responsibility to keep our children supervised, I think the staff needs to step in and also be more vigilant and reminding parents, to keep the littles safe. There was multiple times in our visits older kids were coming in taking stuff from the young children or jumping into the ball pit while young children were inside, or running through the area to go in the tunnel which I think was the biggest issue. If the tunnel is for everyone it should not lead to the young kids area. read more

My daughter LOVES Kids and Coffee! I honestly wish we still lived in San Diego so she could come more often! We got a gift card and finally came down to San Diego to visit family and got a chance to use it. The place is clean and very aesthetic. My husband ran around with our daughter while I got some work done in the cafe. But just a warning if you need a quiet cafe to take a call this isn't the location for you. No shoes allowed inside just grippy socks but they have slippers to use for the bathroom. Also, the stock of diapers is a nice touch! Lastly, I love that my daughter got a ticket for a free kids meal! After running around the Dino nuggets were the perfect treat. read more

The only question that comes to mind after visiting here is that why is this place not opening a location in OC??!! This place is Amazing! It is clean and bright and just perfect for the little ones. When I read that they have their own cafe, I was like oh God, they probably serve junk food. But I was soooo wrong! They sell organic juices and milk. Their lattes are delicious! The secret of their success is that the owners are a couple who actually manage their cafe. They were very friendly and nice. I can't stress enough how great this establishment is. I think it is worth every penny! read more

Overall, we had a great time here! Above and beyond: The bathrooms are stocked with complimentary diapers, of all sizes! They even have convenient crocs to use when needing to enter the bathroom area. Loved: The little toddler area (24 months old and under) was very cute! There was a ball pit my daughter could play in and it felt secluded enough away from the older kids, so safety was not an issue at all. Areas of Growth: The service at the cafe was a bit slow, due to understaffing probably. But the lattes were very good! My husband and I both got the Cookie Butter Lattes, yummy! The indoor playground was safe, clean and the staff were lovely and attentive. read more

For 1 kid + 3 adults came out to be $50 for 2 hours. The location is located next to a church & super easy go find. Parking is plenty. They have a good size lobby & shoe/bag area, and you can locate the cafe inside. Location is perfect for 2-3 year olds and plenty of room for everyone without it feeling too crowded. The high ceilings are nice. Bathrooms are big and clean with the changing pad in the last stall of the womans not sure about dads side. They provided huggies diapers in a few sizes. I like how the adults can wear regular socks, i know some establishments require parents to have grippy socks too. I wish they did check temperatures and grippy socks for extra safety.. there were a few kids coughing and having sniffles. I think they should highly consider checking temperature just to be safe for everyone especially during winter season. Overall enjoyed our trip & will come again if we are in the area. read more

Parking is shared with other business. Please follow the signs they have to locate the parking. Having a reservation is good before coming here. They have a limited amount of kids per the time. Have 3 claw machines. No outside food. Water bottles and formula for baby's is the ok. This place is bright and colorful. They a 24 months and under area with grass like hill near the front on the right side. The ball pit is excellent with connecting slides. They have climbing areas and everything is connected. This is like a kids dream fort play area. If I was a kid still I would love this place. They have a mini trampoline area with soft Lego like blocks for building. They have restaurant/store buildings to the left after the coffee food area for parents. The floor is fully matted so even if there is a small slip kids won't get hurt. Before the bathrooms have a slipper section to use while here. This is convenient as they as you to put your shoes away prior to entering the play area. Have a sensory area to decompress and rest towards the back Highly recommend this place. Will be returning back here if we are in the area. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about the indoor playground. It's fantastic and you should definitely check it out. But it's called kids and coffee, and the coffee part gets zero stars. I've ordered food and drinks here three times and finally after the last visit, I've decided I won't bother anymore. The woman in front of me today said she waited almost 30 minutes for her latte, and after one sip said it was terrible. I waited 10 minutes for them to heat up a packaged burrito for me, because they forgot about my order almost immediately after I placed it. (there didn't appear to be anyone whose order they were working on ahead of me, and only one person ordered after me). The workers there are young, very kind I must say, but clearly inexperienced, and absolutely in no way in any hurry to get anyone's order out to them. Go for the kids, but skip the coffee. read more

The good: This is the best kids cafe I've been to in the states! We got a dino nuggets meal with a side and juice box for $8. The side options included pretzels, fruits or gold fish. I also got a spring seasonal latte that was lemon yuzu flavored with a cookie butter (?) base. I loved how spacious the space was and airy. There was a giant ceiling fan and the entire floor was cushioned and clean. They have a ball sanitizing machine. I saw workers wiping down toys one by one as well. I loved all of the climbing areas and how the climbing spaces were wide so adults could fit in but also aesthetically pleasing with calm/neutral shades. There's a toddler area as well for kids under 2. There's also a baby bouncer and foam mats you can take out for little ones. They had lots of snack options for kids and adults. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot. This place is located in a business area so it feels private/secluded. The shoe shelf area was really large and spacious especially compared to other play spaces I've been to. The bad: I wish this was closer to where I lived! The interesting: Food and drinks must be consumed in the dining area. I think a larger dining area would be good but we didn't have a problem because we came on a Monday and it wasn't crowded at all. read more

I saw this place on instagram and immediately wanted to take my son -- who is at the age that he can enjoy these activities! We came on a Saturday morning and even though there's a whole parking lot, it was almost full. It was an easy process to check-in and store our items/shoes. My son loved the ball pit area, slides, and climbing structure! This play gym is not only aesthetically pleasing, but was also very clean. I appreciate that they had different play areas for different ages, even baby Bjorns for the babies! The little shops were a bit bare and could use have more items to make it more engaging. They even have diapers available if you forget to bring some! read more

Kids & Coffee is such a delightful indoor playground and creative space! You can really tell that Vivian and Ken have put a lot of thought and care into creating something uniquely wonderful for families to enjoy. There are so many play spaces to choose from. A small house and market lets kids pretend play and apply life skills. A designated area for babies 0-2 offers a cozier, quieter corner for the littles. There's a miniature trampoline surrounded with soft blocks and shapes. But the main attraction is the gigantic indoor jungle gym! I love the variety of materials used and the plethora of designs for climbing, tunneling, balancing, jumping, sliding, and playing. It feels endless in the route options, and continuously delightful. In addition to being fun, everything was safe (i.e., cushioned, rounded edges) and clean. Bonus points that adults can fit, and are encouraged, to join in the play! We were here for an epic birthday celebration. The private rooms in the back are huge, with furniture to accommodate both adults and kiddos alike. Decor was incredible and they even had Princess Anna come perform magic, tell stories, do face painting, and lead a dance party. I saw some previous Yelp reviewers unsure about the bathroom arrangement, but I found the clean crocs were a creative solution. It reminded me of Asian spas. There is an array of clean crocs (in adult and child sizes) available for use to slip on before going to the restroom. This keeps the play space clean, and keeps our socks from touching the restroom floor. Make sure you have reservations, and read the waivers and rules before attending. Outside food is permitted in the front lobby if you have dietary restrictions, but the cafe has a great selection of drinks and snacks. There is plenty of parking in the private lot. Check-in is a smooth process, and they have a sitting area right inside the lobby with lots of cubbies for shoes. Overall, it's a great location for indoor fun for families with small children. Also highly recommend for parties and events, for which they have amazing amenities for any celebration. We will absolutely be returning with family and friends. We barely convinced our daughter to leave today! read more

Excellent place to bring kiddos on an inservice day or those random afternoons off. I am not a fan of coming on weekends when it gets a bit crowded. The kids love it and leave tired and happy. Must bring your own (or buy their) grippy socks. They serve kid snacks there which is great for grabbing a quick bite or a scoop of ice cream to wind the playdate down. I do love how the bathroom area is so accommodating to all different types of children. It was really well thought out. read more

I've been here 4 times now and I don't think I'll return. Two out of the four times I purchased tickets there was a major issue. The first time, there were no restrooms which I did not find out about until I made the 45-minute drive to the location. This had to be some kind of health code violation. The second time, there was a fire and we weren't even let in! My money was returned but again, I had driven 45 minutes with my kids to meet a family that had driven an hour and a half from LA. I didn't ask but I feel like any business would have offered a discount or a voucher in exchange for failure to fully provide the benefit that was paid for. The next issue is that it's so expensive for what you get. It's $30 for the first child and $25 for each sibling and $10 for each additional adult beyond the number of children that are attending. So two tickets with their parents and grandparents who want to swing by for a cup of coffee need to pay $75. For parents with one kid who are having a playdate with another couple with an only child, the cost would be $80. Then there are the cafe prices that make food at the ballpark look like the costco food court in comparison. $6+ for a bottle of green tea? $5+ for a can of soda? The pros are that the place is clean and the parking is easy but the poor value and reliability make this place a pass. Go to Candeeland, which just opened nearby, instead. read more

This spot is definitely worth the hype! Found it on instagram and immediately knew my boys would love it... same day reservations are tough, but managed to make some a week in advance for Mother's Day weekend and got in with no issue The spot itself is fairly easy to find, parking was fine, and the staff were all very friendly! Boys jumped around for hours, ate snacks, painted in their little back craft area, and we even got caricatures done! I don't live too close that a membership would make sense, but definitely will come back as this is one of the best play areas around! read more
