    Indoor play area with plenty of seating
    Grace O.

    Celebrated my son's 6th birthday at South Play. The 60+ guests had a blast! The set up and personalized touches were perfect. We also rented the courtyard and had plenty of indoor/outdoor space for the kids and parents to mingle. Kelsie and team were amazing! Throughout the party they would continuously check in and provide an updates. As a busy working mom we literally did everything via phone, text or email. They answered every question I had or needed. We did the VIP party package and they took care of everything. Literally we just walked in and brought a cake for my son (optional because they coordinate personalized cupcakes for the kids!) Highly recommend if you are looking for a full service party location with a variety of activity for the kids. So easy. Thank you to the entire South Play team!

    Extra small touches by the staff to personalize your party.

    I've hosted at least 3 parties here(dating back to when it was the Coop). South Play is such an amazing place to host a birthday party. The staff are always friendly and so helpful. It's clean, safe and lots of fun for kids of all ages. I have a 2, 8 and 12 year old and they all had a blast. I 10000% recommend South Play to any parent that is looking for an easy, stress free birthday party venue. Kelsie even went out of her way to try to make my daughter's party extra special (I told her that I was very low maintenance on decorating but she still offered a gorgeous sequin table cloth and the use of their adorable cake stand). I cannot rave about this indoor playground enough.

    What a wonderful experience we had with South Play! We wanted to host our son's 1st birthday party somewhere both kids and adults could enjoy, and South Play was the perfect spot. Their indoor play area kept the kids occupied for hours, and their ability to rent out the patio for all of the tables/chairs/food for adults was wonderfully accommodating. We selected the VIP package and we truly felt VIP! Lili and her team took care of everything - setting up the entry room beautifully on theme, ordering food for all adults and children, having cupcakes ready for the kids, among others! The staff was extremely helpful, taking care of putting away/storing all gifts, getting cake cutting ready, and cleaning up quickly at the end of the event. South Play's list of vendors was perfect - everyone we chose from there was professional, accessible, and worked seamlessly with Lili and the team. I truly felt I came into that morning with no stress and I spent the rest of the event enjoying myself and our guests. We highly recommend South Play for all future children's events - it was a blast!

    Compared to surrounding competitors, this place, for the most part, is very clean. Staff is nice. She even gave a lunch recommendation nearby after we finished playing. This is geared towards younger kids, and mine are a bit older. They still had fun though. I would say probably babies though kids aged 7 or 8 would be ideal (my eldest is 10). Ball pit & play structure were super fun. Bounce house is a high end heavy duty bounce house. Doll house is adorable. Kids loved the bouncy horses & little cars in which they could scoot around. Our main turn off was the dodgeball game which we could not easily figure out how to play. Also the light up "dance floor like" surface on which we were to play was filthy and in desperate need of being wiped down/sanitized. I told my children to remove themselves from it immediately once we determined how dirty it was. Apart from that one issue, this place is fine. A fun place to spend an hour or two playing.

    I celebrated my daughter's birthday here and everything was absolutely great. The staff made everything run smoothly, and the best part of all is that the kiddos and parents had a great time! I highly recommend celebrating your child's birthday here, or coming here for your child to play.

    We had such a blast using South Play for our daughter's 4th birthday party. It was so easy, from start to finish. Maya was so great to work with planning the party, she was quick with communication and took care of everything for us! It was so nice to be able to not have to stress about the planning, decorating, or even cleaning up after the party! The kiddos had the best time in the huge play room, and our adult guests were all impressed with the decor. We highly recommend South Play!

    We recently hosted my son's birthday party here and had such a great experience! Kelsie and her entire team are wonderful to work with, including the vendors on their vendor list! Amazing value for having the space entirely private for your party, and plenty for all age groups of kiddos! We'll be back again soon.

    We had my daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was absolutely perfect! Kelsie made everything stress-free and was always helpful and responsive. She answered all my questions and made my daughter's vision come to life. The space is perfect since there's a separate play area but also an open courtyard outside in the front you can use. We used that area for a magician and a taco stand and everyone raved about how awesome the party and space was. The lighting inside was also perfect for pictures, and parking was a breeze. Highly highly recommend South Play for any parties and Kelsie for your party planning needs!

    We had our daughter's first birthday party at South Play and it was PERFECT. The owners made planning process easy breezy. Open communication from the start. They were available what seemed like 24/7 to answer any silly questions I had. I chose "The Gala" with a custom ballerina theme. I had a vision and they executed beyond expectations! I now know what stress free party planning feels like. Day of party comes around and there was a bomb threat near South Play. Perimeter blocked. Need an all clear for party to start. WHAT??!! Owners called every 30 minutes to update us. They were so accommodating and gave us all the options to make it right. We decided to wait it out. Got the all clear 2 hours after original start time. Great!! We got in there, they extended our time, everyone had a great time. Definitely one for the books. BOMB. PARTY. Just book your next party here. They aren't limited to kids party either. Seems like if you can think of it, they can make it happen. THANK YOU again South Play!! We'll be back soon!

    Such a fun experience! My grandkids just immersed themselves in happiness for 3 hours. The staff were so helpful and thoughtful I'll be bringing my grandkids back for more!

    Is it only for parties? Also, do you have food and drinks for adults apart while the kids play?

    Hi there! We have public day play Tuesday-Friday from 10-3pm and we host private birthday parties on the weekends. We sell snacks, juice boxes, water, and candy (at a cost) during days play hours. There is also a delicious cafe right next door!… 

    Hi there. We are visiting from out of town. It is too cold (for us anyway) to do the beach with our 7 & 10-year-old boys. Would they still be of an appropriate age to enjoy South Play, or are you geared more toward infants and toddlers?

    Hello! Thank you for your interest in South Play! I think the boys would enjoy our space. We have…

I came with my sister and brother in law who are regulars here and were bringing me here for the first time. We came during the first USA World Cup day and it was insanely busy which was expected. However, we showed up just right before the crowd and I felt that we did not get the best service even before the restaurant got crowded. Everyones food was a little cold and our drinks took at least 20 minutes to get to us. I also ordered the Caesar salad which had almost no dressing, my brother in laws steak was cold, and it seemed like we got the very worst batch of appetizers. The calamari was literally just crumbs of breading with maybe a few pieces of actual calamari and the spinach dip was delicious but came with only a few pieces of bread for dipping. Overall, our experience here was very fun just wish we had a little better service and that our food would have been up to par!

But what truly sets her apart is who she is as a person. During our meal, my young son began choking, and Julia reacted instantly. Calm, quick-thinking, and compassionate, she stepped in immediately and helped save him before things escalated. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life, and I genuinely don't know what would have happened without her. Beyond being exceptional at her job, Julia is clearly an extraordinary human being. We will never forget her kindness, professionalism, and composure under pressure. The club is incredibly lucky to have her, and so are the members fortunate enough to sit in her section.

    What better place to have a book club meeting than at a brewery?! Haha…read more My girls and I absolutely loved common place; such a vibe with such good music and energy! There's plenty of seating and I can imagine during this time (World Cup season) this place gets so packed and fun in the best way. The service was great. We had a lot of questions about the drinks. We were recommended a flight if we were unsure which you can customize; I definitely recommend this if it's your first time so you can try a little bit of everything. They had a vendor selling tacos, burritos and other Mexican style items which were absolutely delicious and with the drinks it was a perfect combo! I'm not sure if they change that side vendor or if they are a semi permanent partner with them, but I love that they offer small businesses an opportunity to sell their foods. I was told that they used to be located in a different area or accessing brewery was through another area so pay attention to signs, especially for their nearby parking. Although we had no issues finding this space! To end our fabulous book club meeting, we of course, had to take our festivities to the Photo Booth. Such a fun and cute little touch too and already cute place. I loved it and I hope I can catch one of the World Cup games here!

Unfortunately, the service and overall attitude from most of the bartenders made the experience pretty terrible. There was a lot of eye-rolling, annoyed looks, and just a general feeling that our group was bothering them every time we came up to order. We also asked about gluten-free options, and nobody seemed to know what was available or could give us a clear answer. The one exception was Christina, who was wearing a green hoodie today. She was actually friendly and helpful, and I appreciate her for treating us normally. I understand that a group of 12 can be busy to deal with, but we were paying customers ordering drinks for over four hours. We shouldn't feel like an inconvenience every time we approach the bar. The brewery itself has potential, but the attitude from the staff completely killed the vibe for us. Based on today's experience, I wouldn't come back.
