Malltots At Play

Unfortunately, I can’t give a detailed review because at 1:30 pm when I arrived at MallTots I was greeted with a locked gate.
From the looks of the room it seemed pretty sparse. Not sure if the facility is shutting down or if I happened to show up at the wrong time but it would have been nice if there was some sort of info on the website or even door. «Closed for repairs» «Be back in 10» «Fall Hours are _​_​_​_​»
Regardless, My little dude had a great time at the North Shore mall kid play area for free.

I’m a big fan of Mall Tots. We actually live much closer to Imajine That, which is also great, but can get very crowded during peak times and when older (like elementary-​aged) kids are running around and being rambunctious – because, you know, they’re kids – it can be tough for a toddler to play and not get knocked over.
So we often find ourselves going to Mall Tots specifically because it’s only for the five-​and-​under set, and everything is sized with that age group in mind, and you don’t have to worry about your toddler getting mowed over by a fifth-​grader in the jumping castle.
My only complaint is the horrible green carpeting, but what are you gonna do? Other than that, this place is great.

$ 10 admission, bathrooms are pretty clean, good variety of toys/​playground equipment. Wish they had a few more bigger play structures… They do have a bouncy house, wooden pirate ship, and a tunnel with two slides. Lots of ride on toys for the little ones and benches for adults to stay nearby.

Mall Tots could be a nice place to take the kids on an occasional rainy day if they do some improvements. Although it has some MAJOR flaws. The front desk was operated by a teenage boy who had NO idea when I asked him a simple question: «Is there a place for babies to play?» (Mind you, I had my five month old son on my hip. His response was: «I’m not sure.» You can imagine my frustration. I proceeded to pay $ 5 for an infant entry fee. After scanning the area, I noticed a single bouncer and a single walker; both being occupied. To say the least, this place is best for children of walking age to ⁴⁄₅ years old. The place looks like a warehouse with toy structures that looked to be very used & out of date. (donated maybe?) The facility was dingy, bathrooms are dirty, the air felt stale as if there was no ventilation, and I’m sure is crawling with germs. To top it all off, all the parents there sit on their behinds while their children run around, screaming, and knocking others down. Not even worth the $ 10 (or $ 5 if you have an infant)

I understand parents are suppose to watch their kids but it doesn’t always happen but when the kids are literally grabbing all the blocks and putting them on the pirate ship. Then to walk on it and cover up the whole space so I can’t let my son up there while staff looks at them with no care. I am going to get mad because my son favorite part is the ship.
Also I think the staff is rude and not pleasant. Which I have seen from the reviews that the manager likes to comment and rudely explain her thoughts. I only go here because my son loves it but I do not

Amazing! Since it’s been cleaned and fixed up it is way different so much nicer and more comfortable! I recommend that everyone with children go to mAlltots! They even have a section for infants ! My daughter loved the jumpy houses!

I love coming here with my daughter. Its our favorite place to visit when its just the two of us, or if we’re on a play date. There is plenty to do for hours in there and they even have a separate area for toddlers. Which is great because I have my little boy now and we will be looking for a place to go while my daughter is at school. They keep the place pretty clean. I notice that the employees walk around and pick up after the kids throughout the day. I love that they have fun events a few times a year and offer a membership plan that saves you money. And you pay one low price for an unlimited play time! They offer drinks and snacks for just $ 1, bathrooms are always clean and in working order. And there is an area for nursing moms in the toddler area. Big plus for me since I nurse my son. I love that the ladies that work there are always super friendly and helpful.

Great place to let the kids play. You can sit on the benches and watch the kids from one spot. Party prices are MUCH more affordable than Bonkers or Chuck E Cheese.
