    Four friends and I went on a weekday afternoon and where they have a 50% off promotion. One odd thing when we arrived. I purchased passes online, got a confirmation e-mail from Play Playground and a separate e-mail showing my payment. The staff asked me to find an e-mail that said "OTP code" with a QR code they could scan. Tried for 5 minutes and they were able to confirm my name. They wound up just letting me in without the OTP e-mail. I finally got the e-mail 30 hours after the reservation time.... Anyways, back to the review. We bought the normal pass (non-VIP) which gives you 300 points. Every event is 15 points, so you can do 20 different things, which I thought was plenty. We actually left before we were able to use all the points up. They had 9 paid games and 1 free one setup for us to play when we went. Here's my rankings of the games: Doctor Doctor - A memory game involving putting parts on a dummy. Place in body parts in a specific order. Move It - kind of like a really big version of Bop It. There were 8 things to interact with. The twist it was having some issues, so be gentle with that one, otherwise it thinks you messed up the next action. Wordsicle - making words similar to Boggle. Longer words for bonus points. The game is split into three rounds with the board changing two times in the middle without warning. 3 letter words are ok. Biggle Ball (free) - moving a ball through a large labyrinth to get it to the end. A handlebar on each side if you want to play as a team. High Five - hitting buttons on a wall as they light up. Hitting unlit buttons make you lose points. The marketing photo is a guy doing a reverse jump split (you will not be doing this ) Ringer Run - moving a metal ring quickly over a pipe. Small penalty for hitting the pipe. Record Time - dodging discs while crossing a beam. If you want to dodge, it makes for a more interesting game. If you want a high score, you can just barrel through the course. Perfect Popper - moving pieces and matching them to holes on a wall. All the pieces drop straight out, so you can look directly below. Whirly Wipeout - trying to stay on a spinning disk. There's not much keeping you on there, so most of us were off in a few seconds. Our last player stayed on for quite a while, so he was asked to do a roll. He fell off and got a burn from the spinning disk on his arm. Watch out on this one! Bullseye - wearing a Velcro suit and jumping on a wall. The Velcro wasn't working super well for us full grown adults. Also, there wasn't much of an object to the "game". There's also a balloon room where you can take selfies. You can get some pretty cool photos. There's also another room where you can pose with props, but it is backlit, so the pictures don't come out well. Last place to visit is the rooftop. One of our friends went up for a few minutes to take a call, but there is no air conditioning up there. Might be a nice place at night. The temperature in here was really warm inside. It was made even worse with the physical activity. One of our favorite activities was standing by one of the portable Air Conditioners and drinking water. Maybe everything is better with drinks? I feel like we had a pretty optimal scenario, not having to wait for games and getting in at a discounted rate, but we still left a bit disappointed. I think they have the right idea, but there need to be way more games and more interesting games.

    We visited Play Playground in Nashville and purchased the unlimited play option for two hours. While we had a fun time overall, it didn't quite feel worth the price. There weren't as many games as we expected based on the advertising, and several of the games either weren't working properly or had missing pieces, which was disappointing considering the cost. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights. The venue is energetic, colorful, and a great spot to hang out with friends. The drinks were also really good, although a bit pricey but that's pretty typical for Nashville. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, but it's probably more of a one-time experience for us. If all of the games were fully functional and there were more activities available, it would have felt like a much better value. Fun atmosphere and good drinks, but the gameplay experience didn't quite live up to the hype.

    This is a really cool bar/location with a river view with plenty of awesome amenities with Dolly Parton nostalgia.

    This place was sooo much fun. I did a package for my daughter's 21st birthday and it did not disappoint. The rooftop is so cute. We had my dad and his girlfriend who are in their 70's and they had a blast. Our party was on Sunday and it was slow which was perfect for our group.

    Some folks have mix reviews on Play Playground but coming from someone that's done a full buyout of playground in Vegas for a corporate event and visited the Nashville location at least two times I can honestly say it's a solid entertainment options. It's not D&B and that's what's great about. The Nashville location has one of the best rooftops in the city which makes it the perfect locations for a fun and playful group outing for about two to three hours. That's the perfect amount of time to enjoy all the old school games and experiences. Let me tell you how to PLAY. Make this a midday stop during your next Sunday Funday to beat the crowd and have an opportunity to enjoy all the experiences. Grab the play pass that allows you enough swipes to try all the games. Take advantage of all the fun photo ops and after you've worked up an appetite head over to your table that you reserved a head of time because your such a smarty . Enjoy the buffalo cauliflower, Tennessee smash burger and a themed cocktail. This spot is seriously for the folks that are playful at heart that just want a little old skool fun. I'm a fan and my corporate guests were huge fans. Give them a visit and bring your playful vibes. You'll have a blast if good old fashion fun is your thing and you're in good company.

    Stopped by Sunday to enjoy a cocktail and tunes on the rooftop and it did not disappoint. The DJ was playing nothing but hits which made it hard to leave. Our drinks were good and the Nashville sliders were amazing. The homemade chips came out hot and fresh and are worth going back for alone.

    We went to Playground Nashville in July to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. The concept is fun and the games are unique, but the overall experience just didn't land for me. It was absolutely packed, so crowded that we could barely move around, and the wait times between each game were long. On top of that, it was extremely hot inside (we were literally dripping sweat), which made it tough to enjoy the activities. The drinks were also not good, which was disappointing for the price, so stick to basic call drinks. The space itself is much smaller than it looks online, and overall it felt very expensive for what you get. That said, we still made the most of it, laughed our way through, and had fun celebrating together as a group of mid-to-late 20-somethings. Overall: fun to try once, but I wouldn't plan on going back.

    Truly a lot of fun. Perfect for a day or night visit. Food and bar options along with several interactive games. Check in process is fast and easy. Once you are there you will have two options for play card choices. The first option seemed to cover all the bases and allowed you all the time you need on the property. The second more expensive option limits time to 2 hours. If you want to enjoy the rooftop area you can it is outdoors and overlooks the river and Nissan Stadium. I've included several photos and the game options are more adult oriented and are games of skill. I didn't see many young kids in there. Overall fun experience worthy of a visit. You can fill out a waiver at the kiosk to save some time.

    Lots of fun! I loved how interactive everything was and the staff were super friendly. The drinks were really good too and had a large menu. The rooftop views are amazing! Go on an off day so you don't have to wait in line for games.

    Velcro wall is hilarious!
    Warren D.

    Date of visit: March 15, 2025 We noticed the Las Vegas outlet at the Luxor the last time we were there but didn't investigate it, so when we were getting together with some friends in Nashville, this seemed like a great opportunity to give it a whirl and we had a great time while we were there! You start with the usual waiver and payment processes but staff there was very helpful and friendly. This isn't a cheap experience, so do what you can to make the most of your time here; take advantage of the free things such as the Connect 4 or the giant Marble Madness tables and definitely watch others playing as well. That being said, this was a great thing to do with a group of four for a couple of hours. From the Velcro wall to the dodging game, there was a little something for everyone and we had a blast trying out all of the games. I wouldn't bother with the unlimited credits option, a couple times through is plenty for all of the games.

What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right?

You can tell they wanted the bar to have its own personality instead of just feeling like another generic spot on Broadway. There was plenty to look at and the whole place had a fun vibe.

But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.
