Had my grandson'a birthday here. It was excellent! The staff was helpful and attentive. The place was clean and they offered a discount in their coffee shop for everyone in our party. The most important part was that my grandson said it was the best day ever!

I brought two kids here yesterday, and all I can say is they had a ton of fun. I had an almost three year old and a year and half year old. The area is enclosed, which is amazing. You can bring food and drinks in. There are climbing areas and slides, different play stations, books, trains , and under two areas. There is even a coffee shop for the adults. We spent about four hours here and the kids left tired. The staff is also very friendly. The cost is affordable for a fun indoor play day.

I discovered Play Kingdom on Groupon while trying to help plan a birthday party. Play Kingdom is attached to New Song Community Church (there was an incredibly rude church employee we had an interaction with). Shame on you for behaving like such in the "House if God." Unacceptable. It is located in the back of the building, so park behind the building/church for the entrance. There is plenty of parking, don't worry. Play Kingdom is an indoor playground for kids. They have a small cafe (coffee, drinks, snacks, etc.), free WiFi, and plenty of comfortable seating. You are allowed to bring your own food/snacks. The facility has large fans and the private rooms (for parties) are cooled by air condition, so this is a great spot for hot days. Admission is reasonable. In fact, they offer "Value Punch Cards" and you will get free visits. Don't forget your socks.

Smaller play area for 24 mos and under

I've been here a few times now. The first time I came was for a one year old's birthday party. We had a room in the back, which felt very segregated from the play area so either you were in the party or you were in the gym, no way to participate in both activities. I've also brought her 1-2 other times to play. The toddler area is very small and unimpressive. It should really be for 6-12 year olds. My 15 month old was more interested in the play kitchen and other toys. The play gym area didn't allow for much room for the younger kids as the older kids were a bit overwhelming. I wish they had toddler slides and things of that sort for the younger age group. The slide in the gym was much too large for my daughter to ride alone and riding with her, due to weight, caused the slide to go too fast and you have to force yourself to stop abruptly at the bottom or else you'll plummet. Prices are inexpensive but I really wish there was more to do for her. I could see coming here more with more variety of play equipment for younger kids. They do have a snack bar with coffee and drinks. We've never ordered anything so I can't vouch for taste/quality.

See all

Ask the Community - Play Kingdom

When hosting a birthday party, are we allowed to bring our own decorations? Are prices different for weekend parties? Does party reserve the whole place or are other kids allowed to still enter and play?

Hello Kaylee, You are allowed to bring in your own decorations for your party. We currently have two different packages you can choose from and it’s the same price for any day… 

Do adults need to pay for entry?

Hi Elizabeth, there is no admission charge for the adults, only the children are charged admission. Thank you for your interest. We hope to see you soon, Susan

Good for 18m old?

Yes! I brought my 19 month old. She was a little intimidated at first of the play structure but after I went in with her, she enjoyed it. Plus there’s lots of other toys and stuff to play with too!

It's like if someone crossed a SkyZone Trampoline Park with a McDonald's Playpen and slapped it with a coat of pastel paint and candy stickers. Sorry, CANDEE stickers. I will say that the prices are very reasonable. $25 buys you two hours of playtime. Grip socks are extra, food is extra, some of the games are extra. And the area itself is impressively clean, especially considering the number of young children traipsing about. On the negative side of things, however, the list is a bit longer. First, there's not a ton to do. Candeeland has limited space to work with and much of it is taken up by sitting areas for parents. The empty space could easily house 2-3 more small activities without sacrificing any existing areas. Still, what activities they do have are pretty intricate, with the multilevel play area having a nice array of padded areas for children to crawl through and a toddler area with nice pneumatic tube setup to delight the young. Next, even though the place is less than a year old, there's already some breakage of some of the area. There's a floor made up of touch screens that displays numerous games for kids to step on a play with. However, it's apparent that some larger kids have smacked a number of screens, causing them to go out or flicker. Which leads to my biggest issue. There are not that many people working here. This means that there are usually people minding the gate and checking if your kid is leaving with the right person. But, there aren't enough people on the floor to ensure safety or police older kids from doing things they shouldn't be doing. Candeeland really is a place that caters to those between 3-8 years of age. Older kids either don't fit on some of the slides or play a bit too rough with the environment. More than once, a screaming 12 year old almost barreled over my kid, knocked her off a slide, or hit her with one of the nerf axes. Sure, they balk when you glare at them. But, they just go back to screaming and thrashing about while their parents sleep oblivious in the corner. So, does my seven year old like Candeeland? Yes, she loved it and wants to come back. Did I like Candeeland? M'eh, not particularly. Still, I'm sure I'll be back eventually...

I normally don't write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. I came in with my…read moresister-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.

A beautiful wildlife preservation site where you can enjoy animal encounters with exotic animals!…read more - PARKING - We parked on the hill past the entrance of the business, and walked down. Pretty steep but it's a short walk. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Book your visit online! There are group rates and additional attendee rates, so just make sure you have the right count of people! Staff was very friendly from start to finish, and I loved seeing the enthusiasm shine through their work. It's not a huge site, so not a ton of walking involved, but there are some steps if you're worried about accessibility. Make sure to wear closed toed shoes! - EXPERIENCE - We booked a Wallaby encounter, and initially I thought it was only going to be a single animal experience but I was pleasantly surprised we were taken on a tour around the area! We did get to feed and pet the Wallaby, but we also walked to see all the different animals in captivity. They also brought out some animals for us to pet and see up close! - OVERALL - A wonderful wildlife preservation site, and amazing staff to take care of them all!

I will say, however, that this place is so big that you can very easily lose track of your kids. There were a few times on our last visit where I was scanning the playground for a minute or two trying to find one of my kids after looking after another one for a bit. But don't worry. There really is only one in and out so you don't have to worry about kids wandering off if you are around that bottleneck point. This is a great attraction that I hope the park never gets rid of. It offers kids a space to run around & just goof off and be kids while also blowing off steam. The only point of improvement I can think of if maybe offer some more (shaded) seating for parents. On hot days that would be greatly appreciated.

He remembered it very well from our past visits. It is a second story playground and it is big enough for adults to shadow your littles if needed. On this day it looked as though an employee was monitoring at the top. I'm not sure if it was because it was near closing time or they are there for the safety of the little ones. There is a short wall that you could sit on to watch your kids from afar, This grand playground is great for the kids to burn some energy that's for sure! The kids have fun running place to place it makes me want to join them. If you haven't visit this playground it is a must. P.S. Grab some Apple Fries beforehand from the stand adjacent to the playground. Great snacking as you watch the play.

Cons- street only parking, no bathrooms, equipment was all over the place, the hill that folks slide down on is very steep! and goes right into a large jungle gym, the zip line was challenging to get on and off and pretty intense for ages 5-12 imo, but kids were loving it! My daughter enjoyed this park a lot! It was very busy for the long time period we were there with her friend. I do feel like this park is probably for ages 4+ as the equipment leaned more toward jungle gyms, one tire swing, two (never enough swings) interesting looking adult joined baby swings, a couple spinners, one huge scary looking slide that was under repair, a huge zip line and two concrete slides. We came with a friend and tried the swings, the concrete slides, a little climbing on the jungle gym, we did slide down the hill with the girls and sent them down with one adult at the bottom to catch them and it was a little scary! We also tried the zip line with the girls on our laps but needed to assist each other to get on and off. Would love to see more swings up top around the grassy area and maybe moving the jungle gym at the bottom back and actually creating a large slide on the part where folks ride their cardboard down to prevent injuries
