$14 per child for all day. Outside food is welcome and the staff are super friendly. Check their website for updates about weekend hours since they often have it closed for bday parties. Great spot because parents can grab a coffee while the kids stay busy. I would even recommend this if you are meeting up with someone who doesn't have kids and your little one is tagging along. It doesn't feel overly obnoxiously "kid playground-y" in the best way, even though that's totally what it is :) read more

Nina at Waterlemon made my granddaughters adoption party possible. From the first phone call, she was friendly and welcoming. She made the planning process easy, less hectic, and very accommodating. Waterlemon is beautifully decorated with a layout that makes it easy to keep an eye on your children and relax at the same time. It's very clean and kid safe. I highly recommend Waterlemon for young kids' parties. read more

If I could I would give 0 stars. I visited this place back when my daughter was 5 and my son was 1. They love it then. Today, we decided to pay a visit. This time with my daughter (8), two sons (3)(1). We also invited little friends. One of those other friends was also (8.) We get there and they turned us away. Cold, no. They didn't let us stay even after explaining we had droved from far away and all the children were ready to play. They mentioned it was listed on their website that the play area is only for 5 and under. I go to their website and if you scroll all the way to the bottom you see something that says "modern play cafe for children 5 & younger." It does not say you will be turned away if you have older children. I mean if you scroll up to the rules. No where in there does it say older siblings will not be allowed. I left with little ones crying and a 8 year not being able to understand why she wasn't allowed. read more

This place is cute and nice in theory, but not worth the stress for me as a parent. There's a large balloon arch in perfect reach of the toddlers playing here. Is management / ownership not aware that some kids are allergic to latex, and that latex is a huge choking hazard? As I've been here for 10 minutes, two balloons have come off the arch. I've handed them to the person on staff here, who simply chuckled. Also, any caregiver should know that in order to use the space, you have to sign a form that gives rights to any photos taken of your child to be used on their social media. We will likely not return. read more

We reserved our tickets for the All Day Drop In Play! two weeks in advance because we were uncertain of how popular and/or busy they are. We went on Monday shortly after they had opened and they were surprisingly busy. Besides us, there were at least 20 other children. It was likely due to the then upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. The front of the venue is a store, the middle section is a café, and the back section is the indoor play area. Shoes are not allowed in the play area but it seemed like some parents violated the rule so long as they were not caught. The play area is not overly large but there were quite a variety of toys that kept our girls entertained for our 90-minute stay. Our girls focused on the slides, kitchen sets, and inflatable animals. The coat section tucked next to the play area is a bit awkward. I am uncertain if the venue also uses that area for storage because there are some large decorative items blocking off part of the shelves and cubbies making it difficult to hang coats and/or place backpacks especially on a busy day like the Monday that we went. read more

What a cute playplace. I have been to bigger playplaces but despite the size of this place versus others.. THIS WAS PERFECT. I think this is because it truly does cater to the under 5 yr old set. Many times i have gone to playplaces which say it's for under a certain age and you are pretty darn sure there are preteens masquerading as tall 7 yrs olds. . I know. I am not a new mom, so I can tell a 7 yr old vs an 11 yr old! but not at this place! Because all the kids there were pretty much the same age, my kids had a wonderful and safe time. There was enough for them to keep them engaged and active. Because they could see me and I could see them, they didn't feel the need to constantly search for me, so I could get alot of work done, which is helpful bc I am a remote worker. The place is bright, fast and free wifi, and also they have snacks and coffee for purchase. As a twin mom who sometimes forgets.. this is great to have . Also a store in the front. I will be back to get a few items and on a day where they do not have preschool, will definately bring them back. A great bright and airy place to get work done whild your child/children have fun! read more

Waterlemon kids is a super cute spot! We've played here, shopped here and most recently hosted a party here. Every interaction has been 100%. When I shopped here, I asked Nina (the owner) if she had a specific item (a hard to find back to school flag) she had 2 left and set one aside for me. The party we hosted was originally canceled on my behalf last minute due to my child having an illness and having to go the the ER. Nina communicated with me and let me reschedule my party for months later with no penalties or extra fees. I appreciated her understanding and will always recommend Waterlemon to anyone! The party was a great success and everyone kept commenting on what a gem Waterlemon is. Check it out! read more

We hosted our son's first birthday at Waterlemon and had a wonderful experience. I'm singing Nina's praises! From the minute we booked our party she was there to help us--offering up ideas and services to make us and our guests happy. I went with the "sweet soirée" party package to save a little money and diy pieces of our party. Nina helped direct me to our party theme, inspired by all the adorable Meri Meri party supplies they have in the store. And as a party host I received 10% off. I also added the unlimited coffee and tea service. When it came time for our party Nina was there to lend a hand setting up, and as someone who's big on ideas up short on time, she totally came through for me! She set our kids' table absolutely beautifully! She knew what I was going for and executed it brilliantly; better than I could have! Our guests were impressed with Waterlemon and everything I already love about it--clean, beautiful, stylish space filled with fun, classic, imaginative toys and play space. The kids partied and had a blast! They were occupied so the adults could have some time to talk, but parents also enjoyed the space with their kids. We had great grandparents with us and they loved being able to watch the kids play and be a part of the party while still being comfortably seated. All in all great place to have a party. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! read more

One of the cutest kids indoor play areas we've visited. We've been here for story time and open play. The past times we've visited my kids have had a great time! The front of the shop is a store front with so many cute items for kids. The owner has always been so incredibly nice & sweet! Highly recommend! read more

I took my daughter here to play with my friend and her daughter. The staff was exceptionally nice. The play area was clean and the toys were in great condition. I only wish I lived closer so that I could come here more often! What a great venue!! read more

we LOVE playing at Waterlemon! It is such a fun space for little ones to play and hang out it. I was super impressed with the space layout and all the separate areas of play that are all close enough to keep a eye on everything at once. The big fire station was a hit with my two year old son but he also really loved the little tent to "camp" in. The girl who checked us in was beyond kind and helpful as well read more

I recently had my sons 2nd birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was super friendly and welcoming when I booked and his party went so smoothly. The owner was so nice and helpful and was actually there to assist me with the details. The package was exactly what I needed for my party and I can't wait to come back for story time and open play. My son loved all the kitchen sets and the ballon drop is a must have. read more

Beautiful, friendly, super clean play/party/shop space in the Chicagoland area that I can honestly recommend to everyone! We love the small and intimate feel -- like I said this place IS small but very well planned out with the best variety and excellent quality of toys/activities that can keep my 2.5 yo and 1yo busy while I can easily keep on eye out for both of them. Very clean with employees frequently wiping down tables/chairs and organizing toys. I believe you can even bring your own snacks but have the option to purchase some small bites + coffee/tea/drinks. Weekdays are the best to visit as weekends it's usually booked for a party. The shop part is filled with carefully picked out clothes, party essentials, toys, and other gifts available for purchase. They have a website which you can also order from (free shipping over $25) I've ordered multiple times and items were always shipped in a timely manner. Follow them on social media for special discounts in their shop or event info! Do not hesitate to check this place out... read more

This is the cutest play place I've ever seen! We went here for the Easter bunny with my niece. We had to wait in a long line but that was expected. They let us take our time once we got to the photo op and there was a little gate to keep it sectioned off. The gifts and merchandise here are soo cute. I can't wait to come back with my niece and have another play date. It's extremely clean and organized as well. read more

Omg what a cute place. Awesome for the kiddos. And excellent for the parents. I take my infant here to meet up with my friends and their crawlers. Kids under 5 are welcome. Even at its most crowded it beats the craziness of the children's museum! Price is super reasonable. Coffee is good. Nice and bright natural light. Great high quality wood classic toys. Separate space for "the littles" and an elevated "house" for bigger kids. Two slides. Suuuuuper cute store at the front. Expensive but at least fun to look ;p 10 of 10! read more

Brought my 9-month-old here because we've been getting stir crazy this winter! It was the perfect cure for the winter crazies. The place is super cute and bright, very clean, full of really fun toys. They have a "crawlers" section so that the little ones don't get mowed over by the big kids, and so they don't get in the way either. It's clear that this play space was designed by parents; everything is set up perfectly for the way kids play. The staff was very nice, the rules are clear and make sense, and it was really affordable for a visit and completely worth the money. There's a little cafe in full sight of the play area where parents of older kids can relax and have a coffee. I'd highly recommend visiting here, especially when the weather is bad and playing outside or going to the park isn't an option! Check their Facebook page to see if they'll be open on the weekend; they have private parties so are sometimes closed to the public, which is pretty normal for this type of place on the weekend. read more

We hosted our sons birthday at Waterlemon after many successful play dates at the space. We love Waterlemon so much! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nina was so attentive and helpful during the entire process. We added the Sugar Bar to our party package and I think it was the best decision I've ever made. Saved me from buying a cake and helped fill those goodie bags with the leftover candy. The space is adorable, CLEAN, and overall so much fun for the kiddos. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

When we saw this new spot online, we had to add it to our weekly cabin fever escape routine. It is super clean, which I appreciate with a two year old and the toys were mostly wooden and non-toxic. The curated play selection was very well chosen. I don't think there was a corner my little passed up. I did not partake in the cafe options but did see lots of moms with coffees and small snacks. Overall, the place is super Insta-worthy if you are as into photographing your kids as I am. I was a little taken aback when I had to pay for my 4 month old as a "crawler," since he and most other 4 mo. olds I know are far from crawling. Prices were $12 for my two yr. old and $6 for a crawler. A little steeper than most places we go, but fun to visit now and then. read more

Highly recommend! Such an adorable space and concept. I booked Waterlemon for my son's birthday this April. The booking process was clear and easy. Exceptional communication. I understand they might have a small staff so there may be a day or two delay but I will say they are so accommodating and helpful in their responses! I had to shift dates around more than once and they were so kind about my chaos. I have also taken my kids to play here and had a wonderful time! The open concept makes it easy to watch without having to hover. So cute, so clean! Will update with pics after the party read more

Just the right size in all areas: storefront with clothes and gifts for kids, cafe space, and play space. The owner is super-friendly and attentive and rightfully proud of this great playspace. A smaller area for crawlers, and a larger space for walkers up to 5y.o. Priced right and package/memberships are available. Our kid was happily occupied for over three hours, you bet we'll be back! read more

I was shopping and hoping to pick up some things for my soon to be born daughter. I asked to use the restroom and was denied because of a private event. I'm nine months pregnant, did they really I was going to disrupt anyone. I won't be back. read more

Cute area and nice concept. Staff was friendly. But overall I wasn't too impressed. The play space itself is pretty small. The toys are scattered (I wish staff would put them back where they belonged or tidied up as we were there). The bathrooms in the back are an afterthought and it's cold in the hallway. You have to go to the bathroom without your shoes on which I just think is gross. read more

We were visiting friends in town and brought our 4-year-old and 8-month-old. Needless to say, after a couple days cooped up indoors, they were going stir crazy. We found this place online and immediately drove over. Our 4-year-old got busy playing with all the kitchenware and other toys. Our 8-month-old mostly just wanted to nurse and pass out, but they did have a little play area there for him, too. The place is very clean and the service was friendly and wonderful. Also, the coffee there was delicious! Definitely drop by if you're in the area. It's well worth it! read more

We recently visited with our 1-year-old on a Wednesday afternoon for open play. The staff was friendly, the play space bright, but it felt sparse, and I was pretty disappointed in the overall age and variety of toys. The toys, while from good quality, recognizable brands, were quite worn, there was next to nothing in the playhouse, and everything seemed to be missing a bit or piece. Granted, there were several other children already playing in the space when we arrived, so I'm sure pieces got scattered and squirreled away but I was overall disappointed in the admission cost and worn state of the toys available. Overall, the space felt more akin to a well-worn daycare than a higher end play experience. read more

I have visited this playroom a handful of times and have done several pop ups. My initial thought was "wow, what a cool, modern space!" I am planning my daughter's first birthday and once again, Watermelon came to mind. As aesthetically pleasing it is to the eye in PHOTOS, I quickly remembered why I don't and will never spend a dime here anymore. The toys look old, some are missing pieces, and it lacks diversity...same ol toys every time. On occasion there are different areas, but I see many kids get bored easily and honestly one hour tops does it for my littles. The spot to hang coats/shoes is chaotic. I tried using a pass that was gifted and I was not able to use it because it was from 2020 (I tried using it in 2022 and you would think this pass was still valid because there was no expiration date!) I ordered a 1/2 dozen of balloons and by the time I got home the balloons were half way deflated. It wasn't hot the day I picked them up either! It seemed like they were blown up the day before and had been sitting there. On top of that, the space itself fails to be inclusive to non-caucasian clients. As I stated in the beginning, I used to do the yearly Santa photo op and last year was my last and final year of supporting this space. Each family got a "say cheese!" but my little family got "say queso!" from the owner. I was appalled! Yes, we are a latino family, but the comment was so unnecessary. After reading about racial encounters in a forum with the owners/staff, I had to come on here and write a review because this incident did it for me. read more

ADORABLE indoor playground with parent seating and a cafe available. Cute clothes too but a little pricey.

We've been here for a private play time and a petite party. I love that staff is very COVID safe-they wear masks, take temperatures of guests before letting them into the play area, sanitize in between play times, have hand sanitizer available for guests etc. so I feel safe bringing my daughters here. Aleah went above and beyond to make sure that my daughter had a great 2nd birthday. She checked in beforehand to confirm details. She was very friendly and checked in throughout the party to see if we needed anything. The decorating for the party was so cute and exactly what I was envisioning. We were unable to have a 1st birthday party for my daughter last year due to the shutdown so it was really nice for her to be able to experience a birthday party while keeping everyone safe. I love that they have a lot of options for imaginary play at Waterlemon yet it's not too overwhelming because they have it organized in a really nice way. I definitely would recommend checking this place out! read more

So! Where do I even start?! Waterlemon is the absolute BEST! They were accommodating from front to back! Nina, Paul, Aleah, all AMAZING! The space is magical! I hosted my son's 1st birthday party here and it couldn't have been more awesome!! Everything I needed was right there! This is such a hidden gem! They were patient, amazing with communication, suggestions, accommodations and more!! I will be back for private play for sure! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Can't thank them enough! read more

Everything about this place is wonderful. The owners could not be more gracious and accommodating. Keep up the great job you are doing,

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! experience. I visited this location today to inquire about hosting a birthday party for my child and the one employee that was working there was not welcoming at all. When asked to give additional information about using this location as an event space, she just gave me a flyer and told me to find more information on the website. She refused to show me the space that I could utilize for the event and seemed disgusted to service me. There was another family there enjoying a play date with their little one(of a different race) and she treated them with such grace. It makes me wonder if my race had an impact on the treatment I received? I hope not. For the small amount of time I was there, she kept her back turned to me and began to blow up balloons. Super disgusting. I'm saddened by this encounter. I would not recommend to any of my friends, family, or colleagues. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place and the owner, Nina. We held a baby shower there over the weekend and it was great! The space itself was perfect which is why I chose it to begin with. It's intimate which worked perfect for our size group and clean, bright, and warm. Additionally Nina was SO helpful for the actual event. My crew (read family) other than my Mom, didn't show up to help decorate beforehand, and Nina helped with everything. Honestly if she hadn't have been there I would have been super stressed. She not only physically helped put things up but also gave suggestions on how to decorate. When you only have 30 minutes to set up and aren't familiar with the space and don't have all the help you counted on, this was a God send. She was within reach throughout, served as the "DJ" at some points, and helped clean up as well. And for those concerned about COVID, everything was clean, she provided a link to their guidelines which I shared with the guests, and took everyone's temperature as they came in. I honestly can't say enough good things. Hosting an event can be stressful and Waterlemon makes it a point to take the stress away. I highly recommend them for your event. Thanks again Nina - I'm very appreciative! read more

This perfectly decorated space blends it all in one room: shopping, coffee and fun for the kiddos. You've got to check it out! The play area is amazing, more than enough room for the kids to run around with dedicated space for crawlers and infants too.

We'll definitely be back! read more

Waterlemon is beautiful - what I wish my house looked like in my magazine fantasies. Well thought-out selection of toys, designed with parent comfort in mind, and friendly staff/owners. It really is a 5 star place. I only took away one star because it's a bit pricey (which I don't blame them for, it's a fancy sort of place), which will keep us from being able to visit regularly. The boutique items are really cool, but I can't justify a $35 T-shirt for my toddler. Parents who can, however, you would love their unique clothing and gifts! Also, while they offer coffee, I would love to see them eventually have a full espresso bar - omg I would probably pay the steep price more often if I could plop myself down with a treat sort of latte read more
