Best Indoor Playground Ann Arbor Near Me

Christin Kelty: Just had my son’s 4th birthday party here today, and it was amazing! We had a smaller party with close friends and family, maybe 10 kids at the most—and everyone had a blast. The venue itself was very well equipped and had some of the extras that I forgot (like serving spoons.) They provide much of the table ware anyway. The party room was fantastic.But here’s what I noticed the most. The kids all had a great time with imaginative play, and enough space to run around and just have fun. The age ranges of the kids at our party were from 2-7 but I think kids of all ages would enjoy this place. My son who just turned four continued with imaginative play even when we got home and into the night—lots of make believe today—and we had NO MELTDOWNS. No fits, no temper tantrums. I’m wondering if focusing on more creativity and imaginative play would be helpful for us for managing behavior issues? I don’t know. But it was a wonderful day!I highly recommend this place, our experience with everything was fantastic!

Ashley Miller: Great place for you kids to unleash their imagination. There are over 10 separate play areas all with different themes and ideas.

Shannon Johnson: Kidopolis is a hidden gem in Ann Arbor.Its a great place for imaginative play.There are beautiful rooms with hand painted children's murals. My kids loved the costumes and stage props. This place really proves that you don't need giant slides and trampolines to have a great time with your little ones!

Jessic kidopolis: A unique treasure for the community!

Rebecca Cunningham: We were very exited to try this new location. The price was great, but we were very disappointed. The toddler room has a sign on it that says 4 and under; my son is 19 months old and the children that were playing in the area were well over the age limit. Whenever he tried to touch things he was told no, and the kids let him play with a dishcloth *only*. Whenever we moved to another room, he was shoved out by other children. Didn't help that the parents didn't bother to tell the kids to share or let him play.I understand that some of these issues aren't the places fault, but maybe some more regulation on the toddler room.

Travis Malcuit: Clean and fun. Lots of imagination focused activities.

Aubrey M: This place is so special! I take my twin 2-year olds about once a week and they love it. We go with friends who also have multiples and there’s more than enough room for everyone to run (which, with toddlers, is such a huge deal ❤️) The space is really thoughtfully designed, with lots of different spaces and props and toys for kiddos to get into, as well as comfortable chairs for grownups to sit in (and because of how the place is set up, you can actually SIT and still keep an eye on your kids! 🙌) One of my favorite things about Kidopolis is the unique, DIY vibe that it has: a rocket ship in the “time travel” area has an AbMaster for a seat, and old computer keyboards affixed to the wall for its control panels; the dress-up area and stage has real curtains and enough thrift-store beaded handbags that kids can’t possibly fight over them; and a “police station” with a desk and phone and a barred window that kiddos can peek out of. Photo ops and totally tuckered out kids abound - love this place!

Rebecca Singer: A charming place, created with much thought and love. A wholesome environment for kids to be kids and to use their imaginations.

Kimberley Iannelli: We had so much fun. I wish this place was open when my kids were little. Grand babies had there birthday party here and it was awesome!

Sasha Zhou: I was a little skeptical when we first toured Kidopolis for my son's 3rd birthday party because it felt like there should be more "things" involved in an indoor play space. My husband, however, talked me into it and I'm so glad he saw what I couldn't yet see! We invited a wide age range of kids, from 10 months to 8 years, and throughout the party it became very apparent that all the kids were having the BEST time. The place is effectively designed so that the little ones aren't overstimulated, and really encourages kids of all age ranges to use their imagination. Both my 10 month old and 3 year old were SO happy and excited that neither wanted to leave. We'll definitely be back to visit again soon!

Natalie Hensel: Great space for a birthday party!

Rochelle Siegel-Schwartz: We visited today with our boys 5 and 3.The boys loved dressing up and putting on a show on the stage.The space is very comfortable, safe and fun for kids to use their imaginations.The space center was fun but I only saw 1 helmet. Some children were in there for a long time so I had to ask them to take turns.Our boys loved it, we would definitely come back.

Jasmine H: nice place.

Rey: Great place for kids parties. Kids get to use their imagination when using all the different props! Very entertaining!

Tremonisha Edwards: Perfect place for my little ones!

Drue Gray: We like going here. I like the encouragement of imaginative play. We use the punch card, and bring our own lunches from home to sit at the tables provided. Its great. You may want to make sure you check the official website as the hours listed on google are not always accurate.

K S: We just had our 2yo's party here today, and it was awesome! The owner was so sweet and there were many amenities provided like plates/cups/water/extra candles if we needed etc. We were able to come early and had plenty of time to set up.There was also plenty of space for 30+ppl and I love how you get the whole place to yourself. The play area is awesome and my son couldn't get enough of the keyboard/computers. Kids of all ages could have fun here.Very unique place, and we will be back again! 100% recommend! Thank you!

noelle cunliffe: This is one of my favorite places ever, for myself and my kids. Kids get to use their imagination, which you can't get in sensory overloaded play places, which are fun, but draining! My children don't "hit the wall" here; they don't want to leave. I find it clean and relaxing, with coffee, and simple snacks for the kids. The owner is wonderful, and I feel like it's more of a community small business, which I love. Check it out!

Brandy Cameron: We love Kidopolis! My kids (3 and 5) always have a blast with playing pretend here. It's always clean, and way less hectic than something like Jungle Java, for myself and my kids.Kidopolis is our favorite rainy day destination!

Lauren Perry: We will not be coming back and will be telling our friends and family to STAY AWAY from "Kidopolis."During our visit most of the children were running full speed around the entire play area and not even playing. The "no running" rule is a joke. The children's adults (several families, not just one) sat out of sight, on their phones, ignoring their children. There was a lot of hitting, pushing and grabbing of toys without supervision. I was on edge the entire time literally guarding my child so that they wouldn't get ran into. Another child attempted to hit my child in the face, their adult was no where in sight, so we just packed up and left.As far as the choices go, I was also disappointed. There were very few toys in any of the areas (one cup, a plate and spoon in the play kitchen? What??!). All of the dress up clothes were for kids 8+ years.DO NOT go here. I have never left a negative review for a business before, but I was so appalled by Kidopolis that I had to post. Go to: "Metropolitan Speech, Senory & ABA Center Play Place (Saline) and the "Hands-On-Museum"(Ann Arbor) for great indoor children's play areas.

Steve Holden: Great neighborhood playground with swings, slides, basketball court, and picnic tables. Shade from the sun for much of the day, too.

Patrick Flaherty: Compact and well maintainedGood choice of activities

Ryan Chung: yes, there are children playing in this area

Very Oliver Raft: Idyllic location but the park seemed to be empty for such a nice day. The slide has graffiti inside. There's even a free little library in front of the park, in which I left some toys for kids. The little library has a broken door, so I hope nobody gets injured trying to get a book; I set the board gently back how I found it.

kelsey: We have played here many times and always had a blast. Today we had my sons birthday party, and were blown away at how perfect everything went. Kids and adults had an amazing time. All of the staff were so helpful and nice. Our party host Andy did such a wonderful job keeping everything running smooth and we are grateful. Thanks again everyone!

Nicholas White: New owner is great, this is a regular spot for us

Hiroyuki Takisawa: 子供向けの屋内プレイスペースです。屋内の施設のため危険なものもなく、遊具は大きいので親も一緒に遊ぶことができます。椅子やテーブルもあり、ピザを頼んでもらって食べることもできます。

Jay Russell: Great place for my kids to burn bad weather energy! New owners are doing great! Previous owners will be missed! Prices are great for entry and on food and birthday parties. Everything is always super clean!

Jaclyn: We had a wonderful birthday party for our 3 year old. The host was wonderful and helpful. I will definitely plan future parties here. They took all the food and decoration work out of having a birthday party. Other parents loved it as well. It’s such a fun place for kids and parents to hang out. So ideal for a Saturday morning. Highly recommend if you have little kids.

Nicole Thomas: We’ve been going to the Treehouse for years. Literally years. It’s now double the price. It used to be (I think) $6 per child. It is now $12!! For what?? For a jungle gym? Seriously? Does not include anything except entry. Absolutely ridiculous. Then I bought a coffee at Biggby and they refused to let me in. Door says no outside food. Ok fine. It’s not like I tried to walk in with a McDonald’s bag. It’s a coffee. They apparently sell coffee there now which I was unaware of. Sure 4.50 for a tiny cup. I was really looking forward to watching my kids play and indulge in my coffee shop coffee which i so rarely buy. Nope. Would not even let me stand inside the doors. Made me actually leave. Honestly, we’ve enjoyed the treehouse for years but for $24 for 2 kids to play for 2.5 hours and the rudeness of the staff when I walked in.. we may never be back.

Tanya Kravchuk: Nice place for few times. not such big as it looks on the images.

Cheryl Pickney: Clean, well maintained with a great staff

Amy Egan: We always have a great time here !!! Kids have so much fun…..

Andy Hatfield: Great place, clean, helpful staff. The Achilles heel is that there aren't many healthy food options, and you can't bring your own food. Best option is some carrots, bananas, etc. But if you want to get your kids lunch it's only unhealthy treats like quesadillas, mac & cheese, sandwiches slathered in 1000 Island, etc. Everything coming in single use plastic/Styrofoam is also a bit frustrating. But these are all solvable issues and, again, the people are great and the facility is awesome.

Daniel Calcaterra: Took grandkids in a Saturday and it was way too crowded and out of control. Don’t know their occupancy limit but would be surprised if it was not exceeded. Might be more pleasurable during the week or when weather is nice. I found it uncomfortable on this busy Saturday.

Nicole Phipps: $1.25 for string cheese? Seriously. Food prices are outrageous and they don't really have anything that'll get you full. Suggestion is let the kids play and when it's time to eat it's time to go.

Wilson Cardona: Excelente lugar para que los niños disfruten

Rebekah Guinan: We came here several years ago while visiting family. It was great. We came back by and it is still just as lovely as we remembered. The staff, the prices, the coffee. Our kids had such a blast & begged us to come back 2 days in a row. The staff deserved 5 stars, nailed our coffee order with the cutest little touches.

kayla wright: Wouldn’t let me use punch cards that I paid money for. Owner said they no longer accept them and that it doesn’t matter that they literally say NO EXPIRATION on the cards. I also used them 2 months ago just fine, so this is a recent decision. She was incredibly rude. I hope the new owners coming in have better integrity and customer service.

alps: Very happy with my first Treehouse experience! Just an entrance fee of 12$ for as many hours as you use, no entry fee for adults or babies less than 12 months. My 6 year old enjoyed thoroughly. Brownie points for the well behaved and friendly staff. It must be stressful working in such a fast track environment but the staff was very friendly and super helpful, extra patient with kids picking up their menu choices. They have a variety of ready to eat snacks as well as some hot varieties and there’s fresh coffee as well! Lot of seating area with opportunity to get some work done in your laptop as well. I’m coming back soon for sure .

Lindsay Wolodkin: We had my daughter’s 2nd birthday here & the staff were beyond amazing. They made the entire experience super easy for the parents. The price to have your party here is very affordable & was great for the kids & parents. 10/10 recommend.

Kelly Rad: Friendly staff and fun place for kids of all ages. There's a bit too much free rein of the place for the kids, which makes me nervous walking around with coffee. The barriers should be closer to the play structure to keep the kids in a central location. I recommend going later in the day if you're going on Saturday as the birthday parties seem to wind down around 1ish.

Jessica: My daughter loves this place. It's great for toddlers up to 10-11 years old.

Samantha Moubray: Staff was abrupt and not friendly with customers when they were short staffed.

Hayle Enders: Decent coffee and my son (6) had a blast playing in the jungle!

Doreen Painter: Grandson and grandma play all day for$8. Food isn't bad for the price. Update for today (4/26/23)I met a wonderful lady that brought her twins and she was great to talk to; I hope to see my new friend again. The gentleman at the counter took wonderful care by of us and we didn’t want to leave!!

ELIZABETH B: A place I can sit and let my kids go have fun without worrying like crazy. They are reasonably priced and it's a fun birthday time too.

Lina Rabbah: This play place is one I grew up with. I went here lots of times as a child, and I always looked forward to going. I went here for birthday parties, play dates, and just for fun. It’s a fun place for kids to go run around and burn off some energy. I loved this place a lot however, it would be nicer if it was a bit cleaner. Almost every time I’d go, the next day I would wake up sick. Kids spit and snot are pretty much everywhere trailing germs. If better cleaning service was hired, I’d give five stars.

John Hana: This was my favorite place to go as a kid, I am really excited to see its still around and going strong. Soon I will be bringing my kids here.

James Murphy: Daughter loves to come here and play. Prices are solid and I feel like the place is well cleaned.

Anish Gupta: We've been to a ton of these over the past five years. My son had a birthday party here. Overall one of the cleaner places. Coffee is decent. Kinda expensive. Today is Sunday and they are surprisingly busy. Probably because it started raining this afternoon. Anyways, my kids are glad to be here. Easy way to burn 1-2 hours for 12 bucks.

Mary Govan: Perfect space to let your kids energy out! Very adult friendly too so you can get in there and play with your kids

Brad S: The fact that they let's adults go on the structure with their kids, well, I get to feel like a kid again. We love this place.

Tiffany Mells: My great niece and nephew celebrated their first birthday party there. I enjoyed the atmosphere.🎈 🎉🎂 Plus 💻 and ☕... Awesome.

Matthew Miller: Great place for a surprise workout of evil death! Upon arrival you're greeted by staff who promptly inform you (in front of your child) that the play enclosure is designed for adults as well. This commits you to about 2 hours of crawling through tunnels while hoisting your old butt up and down platforms. You're rewarded by spiral slides that toss you side to side while providing you with the tightest, most motivational wedgie you've ever endured. The static shocks bring back the nostalgia of childhood. The memories though, you'll walk out ready for bed but wearing the badge of super parent 😂

Alan Fishwick: Our granddaughters had a blast here. 3 & 5 years. Place is clean and the people working her were very friendly. We will be back !!

Cheyanne vance: Very clean, and my kids loved it! I loved it back in 2005 myself!

Rev M: It's crowded today, but still worth the visit. Staff are awesome, the drinks are excellent, and pricing is about what you would expect for food and drinks inside an amusement park kind of setting. Kids had blast and will sleep well tonight. I had a frozen Caramellow Mocha and it was heavenly!!

Vinny B: I had my 3 year olds birthday party there I paid $550 to have the space which included a table with a yellow table cloth. Everything else I provided! I paid for the food, drinks, cake cupcakes, decor and balloons! I wanted a number 3 balloon filled up with helium and they charged me $20 just to fill it. The part that really made me angry was they ordered 2 large pizzas and once those were gone I asked if we could order another. I already paid $30 a piece for two large pizzas from Marco’s mind you. Our party person assigned to us came out to let me know they accidentally ordered extra and we could have them. I started a tab for coffees and other drinks for the party. At the end I paid my tab for $60 In pop! She came back with change out of $80, I told her to keep the change. Then as we were cleaning up (being Courteous to the workers so they didn’t have to clean as much) I took our birthday helper another $50 to add for a tip. This is all coming out of my pocket by the way. Nobody offered to help tip her after all the money I spent. So the birthday helper already has an $80 tip from me. I already spent well over $600 for this table! The birthday helper then finds my husband, delivering him another tab for $30. Stating we still owed for the extra pizza that was offered to us!! Let me tell you, if you don’t want to get ripped off in the process of trying to give your toddler a good time for his birthday, do not get a birthday venue at jungle Java!!!!

Emily Mylek: Average levels of clean. The food was surprisingly varied - a spicy black bean wrap or turkey / avocado sandwiches for adults, alongside usual kid fare. Overpriced - $20 for a small/average lunch for 1 kid and 1 adult. The kids had fun and no one got hurt, but the play structure was not super accessible to adults. It was very loud - a great place for noise-filtering ear plugs if I ever heard one.

Deaven Reamer: Honestly this is the best place to let your kids run around all day. There is no time limit, well until they close lol. If you go, try their chicken quesadillas. I think they are limited time. They are so good!

Briana Mr: They just got in these chicken quesadillas and my god are they addicting. They are only on the menu for a short time I heard, and wish they were there to stay :(

Michelle Sheldon: It was clean and pretty busy we we took our daughter. Just wish they had more for toddlers

Anthony Dodd: Sitting area is too small and separated unless your paying for a bday party. You would think they would have a capacity limit as well. Also the pizza slices for 1.25 are the smallest slices I've ever seen. I came here before and they had normal size slices for the same price I think.
