★★★★★Featured review by Lindsey Keegan

They made throwing a kids birthday easy and stress free. All the kids had a blast and the space was ready as soon as we got there. Highly recommend for preserving parent’s peace of mind when considering where to have their child’s party.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for birthday party bookings where full privacy matters — no shared floor with other families means kids roam freely and parents relax. Open play suits ages 2–8 on weekday afternoons. Nerf Wars is the go-to upgrade for groups of 5–8-year-olds who want action over climbing. Weekend visits require a party booking.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

This really is the only place I ever wanna have a birthday party for my daughter! This is our second time having her party here. the best part is that The play space is private as well as the party/food room. Typically other indoor playgrounds or trampolines parks you’re sharing with Other customers. Thanks for a great day!

Thank you to the staff, especially Geraldo aka G, for helping to make my son’s birthday party special! I was a little nervous to utilize the open space next to the archery area, mainly because I wasn’t sure how the decorations would look. I am so glad it all worked out. My son and his friends and our family had a great time!

I strongly urge other parents to think twice before booking a party at Boston Playground. While I understand businesses have cancellation policies, the lack of communication, empathy, and regard for public health displayed by this establishment was shocking. I booked a birthday party for my two children, but six days before the event, our family- including the birthday kids- tested positive for the flu. I immediately sent an email to cancel (as it was after hours) so we wouldn't endanger others. Their policy requires 7 days notice; we gave 6 days due to a sudden medical emergency. Rather than replying to my email, they simply ghosted me and charged my card for half the amount of the party cost. No phone call, no email back, just a charge. When I finally got them on the phone, the representative was cold, robotic, and unapologetic. Most concerningly, when I expressed frustration and hypothetically asked if I should just hold the party anyway since I was paying for it, the employee expressed zero concern about a family with the flu entering their facility to spread germs to other children. They care more about sticking to a rigid policy than the safety of their patrons or common human decency. There was no follow-up, no empathy for sick children, and terrible communication. Take your business elsewhere.
