    Studio Room- beautiful lighting from the wide windows Example of what the table and stools look like
    Sanni Z.

    Had the best experience! During this past weekend, we rented the center to celebrate my daughter'a birthday party! We had 20 + kids and equally the same amount of adults and we were able to fit comfortably. In other photos it does not show how spacious this location is. The studio space and play space are separated by a wall with a look-in window which is amazing to peep in and watch the kids play if needed. Booking this location was easy you go on their website and I believe the owner Anna will coordinate it all with you, which is helpful. She informed me that they provide (6) 4ft tables and seating stools (FOR KIDS! So they're tiny and short) which ended up very useful for our event. Day of the party, there were two women that help manage the party and LET ME SAY THEY ARE AMAZING!! Boomy and her daughter were the highlight of this location. They were super nice, helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful party. I can't emphasize HOW MUCH I TRULY APPRECIATED her and her daughter for being there and making this such a memorable experience. I will be back again many more times just because this was truly the best experience I've had!

    This post is long overdue! We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday, and it was an absolute success! Highly recommend this venue - spacious, clean area, accessible bathroom, and you get the whole place to yourself. It was so fulfilling seeing parents chatting and kids having fun around friends and family.

    See all

    We celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday here. All the kiddos had lots of fun with all the different toys, ball pit and climbing the wall.

There's so much to do, climbing, building, exploring, getting wiggles out, and even a quiet room to chill. You can tell the folks behind it really thought through everything. The vibe, the décor, even the website feel so neurodiverse-affirming. They have tech to help build community around members too. We live in Novato so the distance makes a membership tough right now, but I'm hoping we can join in the summer when school isn't in the way. I'd love to see Spirited Play Labs expand to more places as this is the future IMO (please come to Novato, I'll help!). For families like ours, where typical play spaces can feel stressful or isolating, this place is a true gem, welcoming, thoughtful, and hopeful for the future. Thank you!!!

The play…read moresessions with Lia mean so much to us. we truly appreciate her patience, guidance, and support. Every visit, we notice progress. My daughter used to play only by herself, but now we see her becoming more independent and interacting with Lia, which fills our hearts. As a mom of a child on the spectrum, I know how hard it can be. My daughter doesn't have friends, but when we come here, she has one. In other spaces, the stares that come with her stimming can be so difficult to ignore, but here at SPL, we feel safe, accepted, and not judged. That sense of belonging is rare for special needs families, and we are so grateful to have found it here. I love how the staff embraces inclusion and acceptance. it shows in everything they do. I truly wish there were more places and programs like this for our kids, because families like ours need community.

It was $15, which was well worth it. The place is small but cute and was packed with kids ranging from 1-4 years old. She was so excited to play in the ball pit and structures. They have little areas set up for imagination play such as a veterinarian area, a grocery check out area with play food and shopping carts, little play houses, reading nooks, blocks areas, so much to play with and explore. It's so cute to see her figure out all of these play areas. We hung out at the tables in the back and let her enjoy herself with all of the other little kids. I felt totally comfortable there and did not need to worry about my little one, like some of those bigger places get a lot of rowdy older kids. Other notes about the facility: They had coffee, tea and water for free. The bathrooms were clean, especially loved the regular changing tables in there (the foldable ones make me nervous). Socks were $3 for play socks with rubber grips on the bottom. She loved it and we all had a great afternoon. We will come back when in Oakland for another play day.

Everything is in one central room so it's easy to "work" and keep an eye on your little one. Lots of pretend play stations with Melissa and Doug or that style of toys - grocery, vet, kitchen -- plus duplo wall, magnatiles, connect 4, a small toddler foam area, and the star of the show, the giant play structure with a swing, slide, and large ball pit. The complimentary water, tea, keurig coffee were a plus for me. I know my little one will want ot be back - this occupied her for about 3 hours and she could have stayed longer.
