This is suitable for a kid that is at least 15 months old. If you are looking to entertain a baby younger year, this is not the place for you. This is barely a step up from the activities you see at the doctors office. Im not joking or being mean, look at these pictures for yourself. They certainly wont post them on their website. I cant believe this costs $14 a kid. Seriously. Their so-called baby space had a few soft animal things and a few sensory boards in a small space. The larger space has larger kids and it is not safe for toddlers to play in. Ask to see before you pay. I wish I got a refund.

This place is lots of fun! It’s only under $10 during toddler times on Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00am to 12:30pm. Plus you can leave and come back the same day. It has a really fun pretend place in the other side of it.

Last year (2019) it was always clean and had a lot of variety of stuff and the staff was mostly friendly. Lately its become hit and miss with the staff (they arent rode, they just often seem to be having a bad day), the toys are starting to look like theyve not been cleaned in a while, the shooting game isnt on most days, and they took down the climbing wall and added another inflatable. Its still one of the best places to get out of the heat, but its quality is quickly declining.

Have taken down some of the areas we were used to. The toddler area is now alot smaller and the jungle gymesque areas have made way for the cheaper blowups that have become so popular. Still a great experience for kids to unwind after a day of school or to blow off some weekend energy. They do offer some snacks and can host birthday parties as well with great interaction from the staff with the party members. They do have a snack and drink area. The fountain drinks are pricey but you do get free refills. The pizzas are always awesome and the fruit is always fresh.

Attended a party here. I would not recommend. Not sure how much a party costs here but they only have 2 inflatables. The play area for the toddlers is dangerous one area had a sharp flap hanging off a piece of the play equipment. The pizza tasted like Red Baron which is fine if I wasn’t paying 10.99 for a 3.98 pizza.

We have been here before and it was great this time they have taken a lot of the things i remember. They have great food and nice concession. I only wish i would have known about the lack of pretend food items and moving some of the things to the older kids location. I was a bit let down from the time we previously went. Still a nice place for young kids to go. Hopefully they put more in soon.

Tons of birthday fun for my 5 year old grandson. Corner of staples and Yorktown in the shopping center. A little difficult to find at first but worth the search

Review №17

We were really excited to take our 2 year old here, as the pictures on the website made it look like there were a lot of activities for kids of all ages, with slides and such. I think those pictures are outdated, because a lot of the items shown on the website are no longer there. There is a tiny play area for toddlers, with one tiny slide, two shopping carts and a little kitchen area and store with hardly any toys in it. The rest of the facility is geared towards older kids, which is fine, there just isnt much variety. There was one bouncy house (the other was deflated). There is also only one bathroom, no stalls, so you have to wait forever to snatch it up while its empty. The place has a lot of potential and would be great for indoor summer play if there were more for kids of all ages to do.

Was invited to a birthday party here today and to say the pizza was gross is an understatement. And to top it off the owner and management is calling us liars because we eat the nasty pizza 1st off there was no other food there so what were supposed to eat the kids were hungry so of course we ate it. Owner should know the customer is always right. Also I think that charging a customer after the party is over without consent is horriable business. Do yourself a favor and dont have a party there unless you want nasty pizza and horriable service.

My family and I LOVE Play. We have been taking my son for over a year now and he still always has a great time! The kids meals are well priced and the staff are always so friendly and easy to talk to! We are so excited to host a Birthday party there soon!

We just had a wonderful birthday party for our sons 3rd birthday! Violet was fantastic, as was the entire staff. Setup and clean up were easy and smooth, and the help we got with putting everything together was amazing! We look forward to having more parties here and will definitely spend as much time playing here as possible! Our little guy didnt want to leave! Thank you!

Review №22

Spent over 200 dollars for my sons first birthday and got the most mediocre service from Kim. She would disappear and wouldnt communicate at all with us. The brief time we did discuss anything she got it mixed up and would forget things. Just glad the kids had fun at least.

This is a great place to take kids that are about five years old and under. The staff keeps the facility really clean and organized throughout the day.

Review №24

Head lice alert! I believe my child contracted head lice from Play. Upon calling to tell them we were told that they wash the costume items every few days GROSS. Since head lice is a huge, gross, expensive inconvenience I requested some of our money to be refunded since we wont be going back. The manager refused. To me that is inconsiderate customer service. We homeschool... We literally only go the a few places a week... Play was one of them, outdoor soccer, and therapy at the hospital. Play is the most obvious explanation. Albeit, I should have thought of it myself and not let my child put the hats on his head... Mom fail on my part.

Had a birthday party there not worth it at all for a birthday party and the pizza was horrible it literally tasted like cardboard. Never again!

Review №29

So disappointed....came last summer with my 7 year old granddaughter and she had so much fun....come back today and they have replaced all the slides and fun stuff with a couple jump house and some shopping carts to play grocery store. If you have a 2-4 year old would be good. When we walked after paying and say what it was, wouldn’t refund money.

Review №30

They did not inform us about a policy that even though you pay for a full 2 hours for a birthday party, the last 15 minutes they kick you off of the table to clean up for the next. This wouldnt have been as terrible, but their oven broke and our pizza trickled out and it took forever to feed everyone and we barely got cake & presents done before they started clearing the table and things got misplaced and lost. For the amount of money paid I would rather do a at Peter Piper. At least they let you have the table the whole time you pay for.

Review №31

The service was great but, they only serve pizza, drinks, and cinnamon donuts, no variety. The pizza was not all that great.....The area for the kids to play is ok. This place is for kids so maybe the serving of pizza only..dont know. Maybe salad bar?? Lol

Review №32

Disappointed with the new arrangement. We moved away from Corpus over a year ago so we had no idea the place changed. We booked a party online before hand since we were coming from out of town to have the party. Staff was nice and attentive. The pizza was nasty and raw. Not worth 13.99 a child!

Review №34

Its nice and clean. The menu selection is small. The pizza served had a flimsy crust and the sauce tasted canned which is fine. I expected a better selection. The children had fun. Maybe making more ammenities available to the adults while their children play may benefit Play in the future.

PLAY is a great indoor playground for children. It has a small toddler section with a slide an older childrens section with a foam ball fountain. PLAY also has a section where children can play dress up, veterinarian, and go grocery shopping. My son had a blast! I will definitely be coming back. P.S. One thing though.... I do wish the mens restroom had a changing station.

Review №36

I couldnt possibly say enough good things about this indoor play place! The price for their all day pass was very reasonable. Theres a coffee bar inside the building, as well as free wifi. The structure of the play area encourages active and cooperative play. The variety of the play areas available was awesome! There was only one bounce house, and many other types of play and climbing structures - which kept things interesting for my kids for longer than usual. There was also an extensive imaginative play area with zones for playing doctor, dress up, market, etc.

Review №38

Wow some of these reviews are ridiculous! Complaining about too many toys, really? & there being shopping carts to push around? Smh.Well I for one really enjoy this place! I love how there’s 2 sides to the facility, one known as the pretend side which has different areas like the Pizzeria, the pet hospital, home & the market which has shopping carts/bags for the kids to go grocery shopping. While the other side of the facility knows as the play side, has a big moon jump, a rock climbing wall that has games for not only big kids but the younger ones as well. Oh! They also have an espresso bar for any of you coffee lovers like me :)I would highly recommend this place, it’s fun & relaxing.

Dont bother emailing or trying to call to speak to the manager, youll never get a response! I emailed them on the Aug. 11th and got nothing. Called on the Aug 16th, they told me the manager would call me back in a few minutes after I explained to them Ive tried emailing them and again nothing! All I wanted to do was ask for a special request regarding food for my daughters birthday party and to verify a few other things with the manager before I had to put a deposit down for a private event.

PLAY is a great place for kids. Theres a ton of stuff to keep your kids entertained. One side is a huge playscape area, complete with a separate toddler section. The other side is where imaginations run wild - theres a house, grocery store, vets office, etc.Only downside is theyre not open in the mornings on Saturdays, and they are closed Sundays.

Review №48

We recently had our sons birthday party there and not only did it fit our budget but the people there were very kind and went out of their way to make it a memorable and joyous occasion. The only reason why I would give this establishment a 4-Star is since they are fairly new they dont have many food choices. Although the kids each get their own personal pizza it was an extremely miniture size portion and wouldnt count it as a personal size. They also have recently opened their kitchen, however dont have many platter choices to feed the adults. The amount of play area, however is what makes this establishment a great choice for a future party for any young ones.

Review №57

Disappointing.I was impressed that it was pretty clean, but that’s all it had going for it in my opinion. From pictures on google I went in expecting this big colorful climbing structure with slides, but they don’t have it anymore. Instead there’s a small rock wall, a ninja warrior inflatable maze, and a wall with flying birds on it to throw balls at. There’s also cannons to shoot balls at the wall, but none of them worked.The other play areas were ok, but small. They felt cramped, only 2 or 3 kids could be in each area reasonably. There’s two big tablets that I assume have games on them, but they were turned off. The toy kitchen was really cool, but lacking utensils and pieces to play with. The pizza making space had crust, but not even enough toppings to cover one pizza. And the little grocery store is cute, but really small and my 2 year old had trouble maneuvering the cart around the space with other carts in the way.Maybe for 3-5 year olds it would be more interesting, but not much. Thankfully my kid loves throwing balls and spent all his time throwing them at the bird wall, but even still he was only entertained for maybe an hour and a half.In my opinion it’s way too expensive for what you get. We won’t be going back, it wasn’t worth it.We went across the street to the McDonald’s for lunch afterwards and the playplace there had a better climbing structure than play had, and it’s free.

Review №58

We’ve been visiting play for last 2.5 years and things innterms of customer satisfaction has not been going to right direction.First, adding too many toys reduced to play area for kids, second front desk is not very helpful and finally, today we were advised that if tou leave the play for 10-15 minutes, we have to pay again!!!! It is ridiculous and very unprofessional how you expect families to pay another $10 for each kid if they leave the place for a while.
