Was an oasis for us on a long car ride back from the Cape. Such a chill vibe and we were able to let the kids play while we comfortably watched.

There are so many different things set up here for the kids to have endless fun! We had the place to ourselves for a 2 year olds birthday party and the attendant was available, but not hovering or imposing. The place was clean, safe for the kids, and everyone had a great time!

Had to reschedule my daughters birthday that was initially planned in March. Kayla was someone I spoke to frequently with questions and her customer service was very helpful. She ended up being the woman working the day of the party and she absolutely went above and beyond helping my family and I get ready. Kayla was available and ready to jump in with anything and she is so kind and generous! She helped set up decorations, organize, clean up. Offered a hand with getting the kids pizza ready, gathered the birthday gifts from guests at the door; just simply helpful with everything to ensure we all enjoyed our time. My family and I truly appreciated her assistance. Our guest all had a great time, particularly the kids, of course! All aged under 4. They had a large space to run, play and use their little imaginations. Their favorite seemed to be the ball pit! I definitely prefer that over the sandpit at the Seekonk location. Everything was very clean and well constructed. Definitely a safe environment for everyone. I would absolutely host another I party there and recommend the space to other friends and family!

We visited Simply Play several weeks ago. My son (2) and I are familiar with indoor play places and we're looking to try somewhere new. Overall I would say that the aesthetic was cute, but I had several issues with the cleanliness and quality of toys. The snack area is within the play area, so we found numerous crumbs in the rugs under the different play areas. There were no sanitizing wipes/sprays visible in the food area for families to clean up after themselves (I did see an employee spray & wipe the tables once while we were there) There are a TON of toys, unfortunately a lot (maybe 50%?) were broken and/or missing pieces. I understand that many kids play here, but maybe a smaller number of toys out would help maintain them. There was one other thing, and this is a personal pet peeve, but most mothers/grown ups were not watching their children. I was with my son in the art area and a mother left her young child (maybe 10 months? She wasn't walking yet) with us while she took her older child to the bathroom. When I say "left" I mean left. She didn't check with me about keeping an eye on her and I had to remove potentially dangerous items (sharpened color pencils for example) out of her reach. One last suggestion, maybe look into installing a proper changing table in the bathrooms? The flimsy fold-down style doesn't seem sufficient for a clientele that is mostly in diapers. I wanted to like Simply Play in Plainville, and I think that my son had a good time, but I found myself feeling forced to stay to justify the $18 entrance fee in a space that felt uncared for.

If you book a private birthday be prepared for the women working to have her children attending your child's birthday as well as not much assistance as she will be too busy watching her own children. Very cute & clean place so what a shame. Disappointing since this place is not cheap and when the owner was made aware she said someone should have spoke up. Yea let me just tell some little kids enjoying the party they can't. Place was rented privately for a reason.

This place is SUPER CUTE. There’s SO much to do and play with. It’s pretend play heaven with an art area and a ball pit. The staff Olivia was so helpful, accommodating and friendly. She offered us snacks and gave us the biggest warm welcome. If you forget your snacks they have them for retail. Which is really helpful. They also have a coffee station if you’re a coffee drinker and need a pick me up. You leave your shoes at the door. Which is nice because you don’t have to worry about germs tracking in while your little one plays around. There’s a huge area to sit, snack and eat. If you’re feeling like you need to rest while your little ones explore. It’s possible because everything is within eyes view. Their bathrooms are also really clean and there’s a changing table ( for moms with younger kids). This is definitely a chill place to have so much fun. My son is 7 and he enjoyed himself so much. Swing by, it’ll be worth it.

We took our 4 children (7, 5, 2, & 0) here for a friend's birthday party and it was great. It was really relaxing to know that the kids could keep themselves busy in a safe environment. The adults had a comfy spot to chill in the middle of everything and the place was clean and well-kept. We are considering having one of our own birthdays here after the experience. Highly recommend!

Very cute place. Pro tip: put your kids in grip/no slip socks as they do need to take their shoes off and the floor is quite slippery. $5 for a k cup is on the ridiculous side lol, so I'll bring my own coffee, but very fun place for the kids

Really loved our rainy day here! Me and my 19 month old daughter went around 10am until her naptime was coming up for noon. It was much cleaner vs some of the other indoor play areas I've been to in the area with her. I like that it was not carpeted, just overall felt more clean. My girl (and all the other kids there) loved the big ball pit. It was the hit of the day! Solid balls that don't squish, unlike the ones I have at home. Clean bathrooms for everyone, and I loved that there was a coffee bar available. Online said no drinks so I didn't bring my water bottle or coffee, but at the door she did say there was an area for snacks and feel free to eat. So next time I will bring my coffee and a more substantial snack for my daughter. Make sure you bring socks for you and for your kiddo! It's $18 per kid (2 adults allowed), it's a little steep but it is for all day, meaning you could leave and come back. But the children's museum in PVD is $14 per person, so it was cheaper than playing there and closer to home. Honestly my daughter would have played all day if I didn't get us out of there for naptime. I will be back!

Super clean and very friendly staff. I went in with my two daughters today. No one else was there. The woman working there played with my older daughter while I was with my infant and even made my coffee. She made my day! My kids had such a great time too!

I visited the Plainville location today. Before visiting, I called and spoke with Olivia, who was very informative, polite, and welcoming. I called to find out the difference between Seekonk and Plainville. Plainville is a bigger floor space for kids to run around between the different areas. Plainville also has a ball pit at its location whereas Seekonk has a sandbox.As for the Plainville location, is it clean, and well-kept. Olivia was always around to ask questions and played alittle bit with my child. They do ask all visitor to remove their shoes prior to entering the play area. You can bring outside food. There is a designated area where you and your child can eat at. They do also have highchairs there If needed.Ive only been to the Plainville location.My child loved it. Plenty of variety. Different things to do.I would go back.

I want to start off saying that this place does seem very clean, and it does have a lot of quality toys and things for the kids. I work at a daycare and have two kids, so I wanted to spend time with just them on a day I had off, and thought this place looked cute. It was only myself and the worker there and she also had her daughter with her, which I thought was great she could bring her child to work with her, but then she did anything but watch her own kid. Everything I was trying to do with my kids, her kid was there taking things from my kids, talking over them, and telling them not to touch toys. I work at a daycare, this is normal child behavior and would not even remotely be an issue IF the mom had done anything about it. She was talking on her phone the whole time, and did not even acknowledge her child. It was extremely unprofessional and kind of uncomfortable. Any time her daughter wanted to have her look at something or she wanted to ask for something her mom would tell her to go play or that she was busy and then just stay on her phone. If she wasn’t working I wouldn’t think much of it but to have an employee not get off of their own phone, ignore their child, and have paying customers essentially entertain their kid it was a very weird and uncomfortable place to walk into.

Would love to go here but it's nearly impossible for working parents, they have 2 scheduled birthday parties every Saturday and Sunday making it impossible to go as a regular attendee. If you stay home with your kids I can see how you may like this place but unfortunately for those with two working parents they rarely get a chance to go.

I wasn’t going to leave a negative review and I had told the owner this but the handling of planning my son’s birthday was so poorly done, and left me crying. I could not reach the owner to get questions answered about the party as well as add some more. This left me in limbo for other things I needed to do. I wasn’t sure what I should do next to get this party together. I had emailed her, but then reached out to them on Instagram twice and a follow up email within a week. I got a call at 6pm, but missed it because I was doing my son’s night time routine (I thought it was inappropriate and unprofessional to call without trying to schedule a good time to talk in detail). I called back the next day, went to voicemail. Left a message and email. Called back a few days later, left a message. I left an email just voicing my concerns and just letting her know that I’m struggling a bit as a first time mom and I really need some help here. Nothing back. I am now panicking. I’m trying to find a back up venue that luckily I was able to book. Most places were fully booked so this was some added stress. I’m having family fly in that do not get to see my son and my home is not big enough to accommodate. I called the actual location phone number. I let the woman there know that I would like to cancel the event. I also emailed the owner. I didn’t get any apology from the owner… any acknowledgment that the lack of communication shouldn’t have happened. I feel incredibly let down. I feel embarrassed. I feel like I was forced to cancel and now I’m out $250. I checked the calendar to see if the party was taken off, it was and it just makes me really upset that I didn’t even get an email, phone call or anything just apologizing at least. I’m sorry if I was such a bother but I just wish they would have just cancelled it because they don’t want to work with me on my son’s special day rather than ignore me. Maybe they are really busy, but just let me know. Give me times that work for you and I would have planned ahead to accommodate your busy schedule. I’m just incredibly upset and confused of what I did so wrong to deserve this. I just want to caution people to ask questions before booking. It might be that you’ll have a great experience. I really hope so for others. I should have researched more. Had I done that I probably would have flagged that they didn’t want me to book there. Ugh I don’t know. I’m just upset really. Not even mad. I’m rating 2 stars because I do think the space is beautiful and clean and a great place for parents to connect. My son really loved the ball pit and I was hoping he would get a chance to play on his birthday. I would have really loved this place to be where I can maybe connect with others but I now feel really uncomfortable going. I really hope no one else has that experience and this could work out for other families.
