    Gives my 16 month old son at least two to three hours of play before and after a meal. I love that they have the toys set up for children 6 months to 10 years old. They have a baby area that is supposed to be for up to 18 months. Unfortunately, it's not really monitored. The train table, LEGO table, spinner board and sensory area are my son's favorite. They offer several different drink options and don't kids food. I really really appreciate that I can bring in my own food. We can play for a couple hours, eat lunch and then go back to playing. They have extra diapers and wipes in the bathroom. They also have spare clothes if your child gets dirty.

    I think it is a great idea to have an indoor play area for the kids close by to home. Busy Bee is located in an industrial complex without much traffic - a big bonus. This was our first visit. We were greeted with "do you have reservations" which we did not. "Do you have grip socks?" Again, we did not. The clerk seemed annoyed that we were not with the program. We signed the waiver paid the $15 to plus $2.50 for grippy socks. We removed our shoes and entered. The Center filled quickly with playful toddlers. The cafe area has 12 tables plus high chairs. The play area is clean and includes a climbing/bounce structure, many scooting toys, a pretend village and a baby climbing area. The kids seemed to have fun. The cafe serves syrup flavored coffees, teas, energy drinks and various drinks for the kids. There is WiFi so you can connect to work, if you're working remote. There is are two party rooms for birthday parties. A gift shop offers assorted TY stuffed animals and toys, including several STEM options. There are well stocked, kid friendly restrooms with changing stations. If you forgot diapers, no problem, they've got them. My son in law spilled his coffee and within seconds, someone came over to clean the floor. The place is clean and they take keeping it clean, a priority. Except for the lack of friendly greeting, the kids had fun and we were comfortable. It's best to check on line for availability or make reservations because they were turning people away when we left.

    We were having some work done at the house I needed to find someplace to take our 4, 2 and 2 week old for a few hours. I had heard of Busy Bee but hadn't been yet and definitely wasn't disappointed! There were plenty of things for the kids to do, it wasn't over crowded and they had some comfy couches I could sit on with the baby. I got a Carmel macchiato and was pretty impressed with the quality. Only deduction is that I think it's pretty pricey to come very often but we wouldn't visit enough to warrant a membership. Party room looks awesome and I could see this making a fun bday party spot!

    Located in Zionsville is an awesome new spot: The Busy Bee Cafe! Great play area WiFi for working parents while the kids play Awesome treats/coffees/teas to snack on There is a huge indoor play space with a bounce area, tunnels, slide, swinging bars, giant sized legos and more! They also have a six and under area that has a library. Full size play houses, train area and more! You can buy monthly passes or pay per visit.

    Wonderful space: clean, fun, friendly and a great size. Parents can enjoy coffee/drinks from the cafe, kids get to play in a fun space with a climbing play structure, a pretend city, a train set and a small section for toddlers and babies only. I brought my 7/8 yr old and 12 year and both had fun. Albeit, my oldest son was too big really but he still had fun exploring the play structure and bouncing on the mini bounce house. The place is not too too big which is great when you are watching multiple children. You can really see it all from any spot in the place. Snacks and drinks are offered for both kids and adults. Goldfish, muffins, healthy snacks, pirate booty, Honest Tea juice boxes, yogurts, etc.. Coffees, lattes, lotus drinks (energy drinks) for the adults. The pretend area is cute with ride along vehicles. It can be messy but the kids don't care one bit. Everything gets sanitized at the end of the day (I asked). I would totally recommend this place for babies to 8years. But like I said, if you've got an older child they'll have fun too. You only pay for the kids at $15 admission. Grip socks can be from any trampoline/bounce house place. Cute gift shop. What more could you want? Zville was in need of a place like this. My son and I will be getting the monthly pass. Online reservations a must. This place lives up to the busy in its name.

    Amazing place to run around with the kiddos! Separate, protected play area for 18months and younger. Great seating and coffee selection for the adults too!

    Sip 'n play

    What a bee-tiful delightful addition to the area! Free parking in the lot with the entrance on 96th St. After a few minutes here, it's easy to recognize how thoughtfully crafted this establishment is. Private party rooms for rent, snacks for adults and children, coffee/tea bar, ear protection for the more sensitive, designated area for the more little, massage chairs, play gym, and all sort of toys to keep the kiddos entertained. We arrived shortly after opening and it wasn't long before the place filled up. Rsvp highly recommended to guarantee play at desired time. Waivers and non-slip socks are required. Not sure if it was intentional but the activity caterpillar at the registration desk was very helpful keeping my toddler busy while i registered. Bought a play pass as we will definitely be back! Can't wait to see how this place will evolve because it's already pretty awesome.

    10/10 for the lotus energy drink!!
    Bridget S.

    Busy Bee Play Cafe is a great place to go to socialize while the kids enjoy playing! With a diverse selection of coffee and beverages for adults (and snacks for the kids too!), there's something for everyone! The play area offers numerous options for children of all ages, including a dedicated space for the very little ones too!! The energy drink was 10/10

    The owners seem very thoughtful of all the little details, including headphones for kiddos when it's too loud and potty seats in the bathrooms.

If you're a parent, you understand that at this point in Winter, everyone in the house is probably going stir crazy and you need a change of scenery! It is located in a strip mall in Carmel. There is plenty of parking in front of the building. We do live on the Southside so it was a 35-40 minute drive to get here. And when you have a toddler, that could make it or break it before you even get there! But we made it thankfully. It was $16.00 per child for 2 hours and the adults were free. I do think that is a high price and was one of the reasons why I gave them 4 stars. The other reason was the drive. For us Southsiders, it is a far drive especially when you have a screaming toddler in the backseat who does not want to be strapped down any longer. They do have a lot for kids! When you walk in, there is a baby/toddler area with smaller toys. Then there is a little drawing area and off to the sides there are plenty of little rooms for different children's needs. Whether they just need a time out, there's a room for that, whether they just want to play music, there's a room for that, whether they just need a dark, quiet room due to sensory overload, yep you guessed it, there's a room for that too. We spent most of our time in the back area with the swings and large trampoline. I would definitely recommend trying this place out! We had a great time and wish we had something like this for kids on the Southside.

It's definitely an amazing place for kids of that age. It's noisy and kids definitely have a great fun. They have a lot of activities and they also have some vending machines where you can play to get some toys or duckies etc. They also have photo booths that you've got to pay separately on top of what you have paid for the visit. They give you a card when you enter you can fill in the card with any amount of money you want so the kids can use it to play. The card never expires. You can use the card in the same location any number of times when you come back. The staff explains everything clearly as you enter the place. There there are also two kiosks in the front when you enter for you to sign your waiver in. You can also do this online only after which you will go to the front desk and they'll give you a PIN to put your shoes in. They recommend everybody including the adults to be in socks when you're inside. You can also buy their socks if you don't have a socks of your own. You can reserve this place for birthday parties. I think the cost is slightly different and extra when you reserve it for birthday parties versus when you just come in and play. There is also a vapor fee that you pay for entrance. I think it's like $19.99. this is definitely a great place for kids, especially during the winter or when you want to set up some birthday parties.
