What a great place for kids and their parents. I'm a grandma so I was extremely impressed. I even ran around and got my workout in. The only worry I have is can someone exit with someone else's kid? They play areas for all different ages it great place to expel energy. I thought it was pretty expensive but kids don't even blink an eye at the price. These days everything is expensive read more

Today was my first time at Play Day Cafe. We were able to book a reservation last night for this morning. The sign up process was easy and I was able to sign a waiver online. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly. The staff was very nice and explained the rules and where to put our shoes. My son loved this place! The slides were a favorite, as were the monkey bars and wiggle track. The facility was very clean. I will be back. read more

Was in the area for a short trip and needed a place for the kids to let out some energy. The Play Day Cafe was perfect! We got there at open so it wasn't very busy which I preferred. I had two little ones on my own so I appreciated the toddler area being in the same line of sight as the big kid area so I could keep my eye on both kids. The place was extremely clean, had family friendly music for the kids and a good amount of seating for adults. Lots of different things for kids of all ages. They had cubbies at the front and asked us to put our shoes there so we didn't track dirt or water into the play area. Socks are required everywhere inside as well. I was able to climb up in the equipment as well when needed to go down the slide with my niece who was afraid to go on her own. There was a snack area as well, although we didn't eat anything during our visit. The staff was extremely nice and helpful as well. My only recommendation to improve would be to make the gate to the front entrance lock so kids can't get out it on their own. read more

Play Day Cafe - Kids Activities Near Me - Solon, Ohio

DO NOT COME HERE! We came today (2/22/25) at 10:08am and first issue was not being greeted by staff. Staff was very standoffish, which is not a good first impression of the facility. Upon paying, we were not told any Information on how the play area was set up/ nor any info about the cafe. Again, the staff member that assisted me was rude. Second issue: The area to walk inside is also the area where guests come in; as it is winter- your socks are wet before you even get inside the play area. The third issue: the large and small jungle play areas have thick layers of dust and dirt on the cushions surrounding the metal play structure- which lets customers know that they do NOT clean nor disinfect their play areas for the children. The fourth issue: the toys in general (excluding the wiggle cars) are extremely old, worn down, and peeling- making the high prices of this place- not worth it. Why would you pay $8.99 for an adult, and $18.99 for one child for dirty and old play equipment? Fifth issue: the cafe prices are ridiculous. They have a snack pack for children which includes a very tiny bag of goldfish, fruit cup, and apple sauce- for the price of $10. Completely not worth it for such small items. An absolutely horrible experience- I do NOT recommend. We left at 10:34am- we could not stay any longer (we stayed less than 30minutes) and decided to just eat the $28 we paid for. read more

It was a good time. My three year old daughter played for two hours and never got bored.

We used to come here a lot. I always thought the prices were high however fair due to the cleanliness ect. Well now they raised prices even more! 18.99 for a child and 8.99 for an adult non participation admission. They have rules posted everywhere. Like so many rules it's insane. I mean you can't let a child have a water bottle off to the side? The people are rude. The food options are so limited and if you want to leave and come back it better be in 20 minutes or you get charged again! At least that's what I was told. 12.99 a kid would Be fair. This has gotten out of hand. read more

Traumatic experience for my child's 4th Birthday. Please do not support this business. The owner was aware of what was happening & allowed my daughter's Birthday party to end with tears. We were able to take some of the party to the Make believe center in Parma but my daughters best friend & the main reason we had chosen play day, could not go. Several adults with us commented or agreed that the women responsible for our nightmare would be better suited working for the prison system, Not with children . I wanted to bring a Birthday cake as my 4yr old wanted her dream cake at the party. There were mostly adults, & 2 children. Because of the small kid group would be silly to pay for a whole party on top of the entrance fees. Called payday when trying to find a spot that would allow a cake & was told on the phone that we could pay $5 per person and bring in whatever we wanted. On the day came in, paid the fees & after about an hour of playtime I was informed that if we didn't leave the premises with our cake that she would call the police. We explained to her what we had been told on the phone, & that it must be policy because we were allowed to pay the $5 per person fee without question when we entered. She denied that it was their policy even though we had paid. We asked that the owner or general manager be contacted. The police came. My child left crying in my arms on her 4th Birthday. Heartbroken for my child, & in complete shock that that this injustice was possible. read more

It is expensive if you drop in... if you come frequently then the monthly membership is a good deal. I can understand the pricing as i know how difficult it is to run a business. Hope it remains open and profitable because it is a wonderful place for kids. read more

Play Day Cafe is our favorite indoor playground! It's conveniently located by AMC Movie Theater and a couple hotels, so it would be a great place if you're traveling to the area with kids! Adults & Infants-11mo: Free 12mo - 2yrs: $11 3-12yrs: $15 The cafe is really nice and offers a variety of hot and cold beverages, snacks and lunch options. There is ample seating to relax or get some work done while your kids play for a couple hours - if you have a hot spot you'll definitely need that as there's no internet. Overall, Play Day Cafe is a great place if you plan to spend 2+ hours here and you can come and go throughout the day! read more

My kids have always enjoyed their time here. I try to plan it without buying food. I have gone back.

It's a great place for kids! Think about kids 2-8 yo. For older kids it won't be interesting. Sometimes even 7-8 are bored here. They have space for little ones that is located aside. I can't say that there are many interesting climbers or sliders. However, I like that this place is clean, colorful and spacious. The restrooms are usually clean too, that is important for not spreading germs. I would suggest to visit this place earlier in a day bc at evenings gets busy and kids do not enjoy that. The price is 15$ per child and it's unlimited. There is cafe and you can order some snacks and appetizers while having tea or coffee. Probably biggest minus is that there is no limit if people being in the place bc sometimes it gets overly crowded. In general we like coming here. read more

Great place, but way overpriced. Charging adults and infants just to watch is a racketeer. Fun, clean place, but be ready to be price gouged. read more

My child enjoyed it as it is an indoor playground, but I felt this place was pretentious and a complete rip off, especially only being able to come for an hour. Be warned they charge parents to enter the facility who legally have to be there anyways. This was the first and last time we will visit as I would not willingly choose to return at their price point. I also loved all the passive aggressive signs posted everywhere. read more

Good time for the kids nice relaxing place safe for the kids snacks little pricey overall cool spot

the place is all crammed together and many of the attractions didn't work or didn't work properly. my daughter said it was but not what she though it was going to be. I would agree with her which is why I gave it a 3 review. read more

I used to take my tot here a lot. Like "5 days a week" a lot. Every entry on my credit card statement is play day cafe. That was last winter when the owner was okay for parent to follow tot upstairs during weekdays when it's not busy. This year, however, the staff informed me adults can't go upstairs, or only allowed in the front where the big slides are. I stopped coming here period. The problem is two folds for me: 1. Safety: my child has encountered bullies here before. Her head was pinned to the ground by other kids who were maybe a year older than her. This is the intentional behavior. Not to mention the un-intentional frequent incidents when older kids just pushed younger kids around when they rushed through the tunnels. So you understand I need to by her side upstairs. 2. Child's developmental need: My tot is still at the age that she wouldn't go anywhere far without the caretaker. So essentially I paid a premium fee for her to utilize 50% of the facility. Yes they have a "monitor" staff downstairs. But that doesn't take care of either condition 1 or 2. read more

Play Day Cafe - Hanging bridge - Kids Activities Near Me - Solon, Ohio

My kid had fun but I definitely consider them overpriced. I would be fine with paying the $18.99 for my child but to charge me $8.99 to just sit there and watch is crazy. We got the pizza and pretzel from the cafe and it was DISGUSTING. It had to be old. I was terrified we were going to get sick. I would love to come more but I've never had to pay at any other place to watch my child. read more

Went here on a Wednesday with my partner, (almost) 2 year old, and infant. It was maybe an hour and a half before closing, so there weren't many other people there. They have you take off your shoes and you can hang your coat in the cubby area they have at the front. Of course, there are signs that they aren't responsible for stolen items but that there is video surveillance of the area. We all got wristbands and proceeded in. It's a nice sized indoor playground. It seemed to be pretty clean and had a fair amount of seating areas. I could see it being a bit of an issue on a busy Saturday, though, to find a seat and watch your kids. Our toddler went into the 3 and under area where there were only 1 or 2 other kids who ended up leaving. She mostly played by herself with the puzzles that are fastened to the wall and the soft oversized stacking blocks. Dad and I took turns going into the area to help her through the tubes, up the stairs, and down the slide. It's a pretty small toddler section, which makes sense. But, again, on a busy Saturday I would be concerned about the amount of kids in such a small space. Our daughter is pretty subdued and I could see a lot of rambunctious little people being overwhelming! In the last hour, they called out every 15 minutes to let patrons know when they would be closing. We didn't get a chance to check out the cafe so I can't speak to quality or price. I did use the restroom to change my infant and found that the baby changing station in the women's restroom was broken. It had a sign directing me to the family restroom. It appeared clean and well set up, but walking in there in my socks made me gag. They also have a "mother's room" that I assume is for nursing. It had a sign saying it was available but the door was locked. I would have liked to see inside as I am a nursing mother. I ended up nursing my son in the seating area without issue and there weren't many people around anyway. Overall, I would like to go back and I think my daughter had a good time. The attendants were friendly enough; your typical teenagers working a part-time job. Hopefully my daughter can make a few friends next visit. read more

Fun and clean environment. My toddler enjoyed it and plenty of things to do. This place is very strict about outside items (ie- no food, drinks, gifts-if not intended for a reserved birthday party). Overall good experience and worth the price. read more

Notice all of the good reviews are before Dec 2021? They massively changed their pricing structure making it much more expensive than any other indoor playground in the area. I absolutely understand that businesses are struggling but no other indoor playground has been as aggressive with their prices. Prior to COVID, $11 would get your child all day in the facility, adults and infants under 1yo were free. When they reopened post COVID they increased the price to $15 and limited play times to 2 hour sessions and required reservations. This was understandable as most places had similar policies. However, in Dec 2021, they completely changed their business model and began price gouging. They increased the rate from $15 to $19, but that wasn't really the worst part. They decided that increasing the price per child was not enough, they made it so that every Adult and child under 1 year old has to pay $9 for the 2 hour session. Prices pre-Dec 2021 compared to post-Dec 2021: 2 adults + 1 toddler: was $15 is now: $37 (146% increase) 2 adults + 2 toddlers: was $30 is now: $56 (87% increase) 2 adults + 1 infant + 1 toddler: was $15 is now: $46 (207% increase) This is a pretty insane amount to raise prices and they have undoubtedly lost business due to this. I know we have found plenty of other options in the area that don't engage in these predatory practices. Sort the google reviews by most recent. It's rather eye opening. read more

I wish I would've read the reviews from past people throwing parties here (on Facebook) because I experienced the same terrible customer service. The facility itself is great, cool spot for the kids and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming but the people that work there are terrible. Let all of them go and rehire because I don't think they are happy at all and it felt like I was bothering them smh. Wasn't helpful. Provided incorrect information constantly, only received correct information from reading my contract. Last 20 mins of the party they started turning off the lights and continued to basically rush us out. We only had 6 kids due to covid and they only had 2 employees there, which we didn't bother at all. I would not recommend this place for parties nor will I be back. So sad because this place could be really good. read more

Extremely disappointed with our visit today. The family bathroom is dirty beyond beliEd... NO toilet liner options, trash can overflowing with used paper towels on the floor, NO HAND SOAP, NO HAND SANITIZER, NO MANAGER on duty, skeleton staff, nothing being sanitized. Shame on you for such neglect... especially during COVID. Kids poop and don't even have SOAP to wash their hands!!!! read more

Such a great concept! Fun for all ages and in such an open area that parents can let their kids run loose without too much concern. Their employees are nice and keep their eyes open on any dangerous behavior by children which helps keeps everyone safe. I just wish they had cheaper food options. read more

Play Day Cafe - All played out - Kids Activities Near Me - Solon, Ohio

This should be restricted to older kids. Or have a separate area created for littles. My 1 year old was almost crushed in the designated toddler area over 4 times by children way too old (5+) who shouldn't have been in there. Partly to blame is the parents. But there's a sign on the door proclaiming short staff. Short staff shouldn't mean complete disregard for safety. No one was walking around just checking on equipment or safety. Not a single person. They stayed at their desks. There's no point in bringing a child here who's 4 and under. The staff just don't care and the parents are equally terrible. Plus you're sacrificing safety for your tiny kiddo. read more

We began visiting PDC when our LO was 12 months old. He was just beginning to walk and enjoyed the toddler area very much. There wasn't more he could do being so young but we found the toddler area had enough developmental activity to keep him interested and entertained. It has tumbling mats and blocks and miniature obstacle course. I would recommend this area for babies who have good head and neck control, sitters, crawlers, and new walkers. It's a clean safe environment and staff is really hands on with older children out of this area. As our LO grew in age, height and confidence he began navigating other areas. He's now able to enjoy the big kids play center, the zip line (with our assistance) and he loves the maze. We are very interactive as most parents are. The facility is clean. They have a no outside food policy but have a selection of beverages, snacks and other food items for purchase. We've visited most indoor play centers in the area. PDC offers a good environment, especially for physical activity and the reward of watching your child complete an activity that they may not have been able to do at a prior visit. read more

Very clean and friendly staff. Very healthy food choices. I'm very happy that my kids don't have to eat pizzas or hotdogs in the café. If toddler area can be bigger, I'd give 5 stars. It's more suitable for kids older than 3 so they can enjoy all the facility with their money worth. read more

My four year olds favorite place to play. They keep the entire place very clean. It's nice to go when it's not crowded. The food is overpriced for what they offer. read more

Has always been clean, fun, and a great spot for the kiddos to release some pent up energy year round.

Add-on expenses do not make this a cost effective place to plan a party for kids. Inflexible packages and poorly informed staff. Unpleasant experience will not plan a party at this location again. read more

Best indoor play place around! My kids (4 and 7) had a blast for 4 hours. This place feels twice the size of the other places we have visited. There are five different areas to entertain: the all over jungle gym, a floor video game, wiggle car race track, ball shooting place, and a toddler space. Everything is well maintained and super clean. They even have a cool setup of storage for coats and shoes in the front so there is no clutter in the play area. Plus the cafe has healthy and tasty food options along with all the fancy coffee drinks. Admission does cost a few bucks extra compared to other places but totally worth it. read more

I think it ridiculous all of the information that this place requests to sign waiver. They want child's date of birth, street address, email and phone #. It's an invasion of privacy. I brought my kid here to play, not to put them on some mailing list and have their info sold to some marketing firm. read more

This place is a lot of fun for little ones! The prices went up and now its a little debatable for a couple hours of play....

Clean and nice-sized indoor play area. My 3.5 year old can occupy himself for a couple of hours before getting bored. Some days it is way too busy though and so the noise is deafening. read more

This place is the best!! Super clean and great employees. The girls love it! They have healthy choices at the cafe I just wish the prices were a little lower. But it makes for a great time on a cold or rainy day. read more

If you are unfamiliar with the feeling of "faux hospitality," simply spend five minutes at Play Day Cafe. For it is here that you will find the most unpleasant, unhelpful and downright rude behavior delivered with a manufactured grin slash smirk by all staff members. Honestly, you'll be lucky if you last five minutes before the feelings of inconvenience, frustration and/or annoyance don't overpower you. For being a place that markets itself as a place that caters to families, their ability to inconvenience new mothers, alienate grandparents, and disrespect parents is unparalleled. I cannot DISCOURAGE you more strongly to never, EVER spend a moment (or a dollar) at this establishment. I could further elaborate on the nearly comically horrendous treatment my family and guests experienced at my son's recent birthday party, but I'll refrain. I do want to be sure that if there is any good that can come from this experience, it's to prevent any fun-loving, kind, considerate, and thoughtful family from stepping foot in this establishment. read more

My family and I have loved bringing my kids here (ages 5 and 3) for over a year now. It's always been a little pricey, but was worth the splurge because of its size and sometimes Ohio weather keeps us inside too much. We went for the first time in a couple of months today and unfortunately it is now completely overpriced and we will not be coming back. I get that everyone is raising their prices and I expect that, but now they charge $9 PER ADULT to watch your own kid. As an adult you are not allowed on any of the equipment, but in order for my 3 year old to go I have to pay $19 plus $9 for me! Mind you they have set prefix times so you can only go max two hours assuming you arrive right at the open time, otherwise you get even less than that. My six month old who can only sit, no crawling, no toys there to play with is an additional $9. So for my family for 1.5 hours of fun it cost us $70- no food, no drink, nothing additional. I just don't think that's realistic for us to come here as often as we would like. read more

Took my kids to the play day café today. My kids are ages 2 and a half and 4 months. Place is located in solon in the back of what seems to be a industrial type of setting. If it was not for gps I would never know it was there. When you walk in there are two touch screen computers you must use upon first first to create and sign a waiver for your kids. Once you do that you check in and the kids get a wrist band as well as parents. We paid $9 for my son every one else was free admission. My son had a lot of fun my only semi complaint it adults are not allowed to go up and play with their kids. I feel if I went up with my son he might of explored more of the play area then he did on his own. I will definitely make the drive from Willoughby again. read more

I love this place and think its a great spot for the kids to run around and use their energy. Very clean and there is so much to do!! Best part is that it is SUPER affordable!! The only PROBLEM I feel could be improved or addressed is that there is no "security". Meaning anyone can grab or pick up my child and take them out of the building. Correct me if I'm wrong but the wrist bands aren't the greatest to keeping the kids safe. Something in place like Chuckie Cheese where they check numbers before you leave would be perfect! read more

Update: 4/2017. We visited PDC again this month. Now I understand why one needs to sign a waiver before being allowed on the play equipment. Although on our first visit there was a (rather ineffectual) monitor, this time, when it was less crowded, there was no staff member monitoring the children on the equipment. This is really not a place to sit and relax with your tablet or phone and a beverage while your kids or grand kids play. They don't have free WiFi which seriously limits any internet activities. As all parents know, it only takes one misbehaving, unsupervised and undisciplined child to set the tone for others. I found myself watching my grandsons like the proverbial hawk. Also, another poster said adults aren't allowed on the equipment. Both times we've visited, there have been adults playing with their children on the equipment. On the plus side, the staff is friendly and the place is VERY clean. The food is comparably priced, consisting of salads and deli (lunch meat) sandwiches, plus pastries. My grandsons love this place and we will certainly be back. It is not a "cheap date", costing close to $50 for admission and lunch for the 3 of us. But when your grandkids are your heart and soul, you just suck it up! read more

Great when your kid needs to get their run on in the winter or really hot days. But on busy days it could really use some more comfy seats.
