PlayGrounds Fun Zone and Cafe

Cool place, but really for kids ages 3 – 5 I would say. Younger than that is kind of a waste of money. I wish people would control some of their ADD-​ish kids though. So many loud ridiculous kids who should know how to act if they heard the word no sometimes.

First visit– I LOVE the concept!!! My daughter and her friend both 2 years old had a ton of fun here!!! I honestly dont think this is a place for children ages 6+. Observing the place, I do think there should be better security measures to ensure that the right kids are going home with the right adult. I didn’t feel it a threat while I was there but it would just make me feel better overall, obviously it hasn’t been an issue though. And I can’t really say I saw many employees ensuring that kids weren’t being too rough or parents weren’t too preoccupied. I’d definitely like to see more employee involvement.
On another note, the place is hidden. I frequent the area and had nooooo idea it was there!!! I only went because my daughter got a gift card to the place for her birthday!
We went on a Friday morning, it was comfortable there are plenty of tables and couches and it wasn’t too crowded.
Lastly, I think when you have kids there on a daily basis toys and everything should be updated & extremely clean! The little cars they have looked old and used way too many times along with some little chairs/​couches they had for kids.
I would definitely recommend and I’d definitely be back. Probably not on a weekend, I don’t want to know how crazy it could be.

The food selection is really good here and the portions are a lot larger than you would think. My daughter enjoys playing here, she is 15 months. We started coming when she was a crawler and she really enjoyed the large plush toys in that section. The only complaint I have is the older children always in the smaller aged areas. Makes it hard for my kid to play in the toddler section when a 5 year old is shoving her through the tunnel. I just wish they were more strict on that issue other than that I am still a fan.

I like this place, but there’s a very small area for many children to play in. There are plenty of benches which is good, but it provides limited space for children to play. I have a 4 and 3 year old and they get trampled over. Many parents do not watch their kids and it ends in many kids getting bullied or hurt. The hours are very constricting as well. By the time I get off work, they’re closed.

Run down. Tears and cracks in the vinyl coverings.
Two bathrooms but one is out of order. The operating bathroom had an overflowing diaper trash can and the stench was overpowering. Kids are wearing socks and floor was soaking wet.
Employees who do nothing but stand behind the coffee shop counter out of sight of the playground.
The website states that the playground is sanitized every day. It is evident that cleaning is not included in their efforts. Food, funk and dust bunnies abound under and around the play equipment.
The experience on the whole would improve if electronic devices were banned. 90% of the parents paid little if no attention to their child (ren). When your 10 year old is riding on top of a Cozy Coup you really need to look up from IPhone.

Loved this place. My son had a great time. It was clean. The food and coffee was wonderful.

Great place for kids 2 – 7, very clean, friendly staff, and very comfortable for parents. A great place to sit back and have something to eat or drink and watch the kids play.

Great clean place for younger kids!

Love this place! Its the only one in the west valley that we’ve found that actually has a play ground area and not just a bunch of tikes slides from
BabiesRUs. Staff is friendly and the café is a huge plus and it’s always been clean when we visit! It does get busy so get there early.

This play area has a lot going for it. The facilities are clean and the kids seem quite happy. Initially there was confusion when I arrived as no one was Manning the entry booth but that was worked out in short order.
Entry is $ 11 which I think is steep. Fortunately, there is a first time visitor coupon on the website that made our entry $ 6. They also seem to have deals throughout the week to make the cost more reasonable. Tuesday is Toddler Tuesday and anyone under 3 gets $ 2 off admission. They also have grandparents day and a few others.
My son wanted lunch from the café and the prices were reasonable. $ 4.50 for Kraft Mac and Cheese, a delicious cookie (seriously tasty), some fruit, and milk.
He was so happy we stayed over two hours. Plenty of toys and the kids playing there all seemed nice.
Overall, worth the $ 6.

It is chaotic. There are separate sections for the different ages of children, but no one enforces anything. So, in the area for babies/​crawlers, there are a bunch of school-​aged children running around. Same as in the toddler area. It makes it really hard for the parents of the small children because they have to make sure that their kids aren’t being knocked over by the bigger kids (whose parents aren’t paying attention). So, what you hope will be a relaxing time where you can have a cup of coffee and let your toddler play, is actually sort of stressful and exhausting. For older kids, it seems great because there are no limitations for them. It just doesn’t work as well for the younger kids.

Love taking my 1 year old here! Its reasonable and clean and good food! The owner is always friendly and so is rest of he staff! No complaints really other than I wish they had a changing table in both bathrooms. But not that big of deal.
Sometimes annoying when other parents let big kids take over baby area but most parents are pretty good about watching their kids.
We will continue to come here every week and sometimes twice a week!

Great place for little kids (infant — 5yrs). Older kids seemed to get bored quickly. The café is good too — the cobb salad is fresh and very good, milkshakes are delicious, and the coffee drinks are great.
Remember — socks, no shoes.

My kiddos and I love this place! Having 4 kids it can be quite $$ so we don’t always go as often as I’d like.
The café is amazing! Moms/​dads can order a coffee/​latte and watch the little ones play. The food is great, we always have lunch. I like to order my coffee and watch the kids make new little friends for the day.
The couch area is great for talking with other moms/​dads and just watching the kids do their thing in a safe and clean environment!
The staff has always been super friendly and the facility is ALWAYS clean.
I just returned from a 6 month deployment and the first thing my kids ask to do as a «mom and me» day was go to PGFZ, so it’s a memorable experience, for sure!!!

Today was our first visit to Playgrounds my kids and I loved it. Great place for the little ones to run out their energy and beat the hot AZ heat. We ate breakfast at their café and it was good too. The facility was very clean and well maintained. The also had a staff member monitoring the play area which I really liked. Comfy couches for parents to relax on or tables to sit at and eat or catch up on work. We will be back again!

Went to Playgrounds again today. Had a great time. We had our sons 2^nd birthday here and it was good. When there today the staff were hard at work cleaning. Some of the fellow parents were telling me they fresh bake the pastries daily and the coffee is amazing. Humm will have to see.

So sad because this is an awesome, clean facility. We had to leave when some other kids weren’t asked to leave after biting my 2 year old daughter.
I’m surprised they don’t have a zero tolerance for violence. It’s a kids playland for heavens sake!!! The manager said that if she got bit a second time, THEN they’d ask the offender to leave. Yeah, not gonna happen!
Apparently a little bit of violence is ok here… As long as it’s a little bit. Jaws was allowed to stay and play so we left (no refund offered).

Always a great time to be had here. The place is always super clean. The owner is super nice and great to work with. I am sadly thinking my daughter who is almost 5 is almost done with visiting this place but it was fun while it lasted!

I am so happy we found this place. PlayGrounds loves both kids and their parents! My son loves playing with the little cars and as he has been getting taller has been able to explore more of the playground. I like how they have different areas for the crawlers, toddlers, and for the kids that are a little bit older.
I like that they have plenty of seating areas and comfy sofas. It is very convenient to be able to have food to order from the café and can I tell you how much I love that they have coffee? This is such a great idea. The staff there is always friendly. I have had great experiences with the other parents there. It’s a great opportunity to model manners and appropriate play.
I’m excited to bring my son here a lot more during the summer. Make sure you remember your socks!

Awesome place for kids on a hot day! Clean, comfortable, food and coffee, wifi, couches, picnic benches. They have 3 play sections: crawlers, toddlers and big kids. Everything is padded and safe.
Nice café with tons of food and drink options (see picture of menu). We just had some coffee but a lot of people ordered food and everything looked really good.
$ 5 off for new customers on their website.
Don’t forget socks! (They do have some to rent or buy if you forget them)
