“I brought my 6 year old son and my 3 year old niece here and they absolutely loved it ! This space is beautiful, calming and well thought out . A lot of play places are very overstimulating , chaotic and hard to follow your kid around at . Check N’ Play was an amazing experience! My son gets very stressed in most play environments but he seemed so relaxed here , he loved the play structure and all the sensory toys Check N’ Play offered . As a parent It was so fun to see him play creatively and use his imagination. The Art room was his favorite! The play attendants and cafe baristas were so friendly . I ordered a yuzu white iced tea , it was so refreshing. You can tell quality is important here when you look at the cafe and cleanliness of this place . We will definitely be back !”

“My littles love this spot, and I do too! Every drink I've tried is great, and they have options for kiddos too of course. The attendants are super friendly and interactive. I want to give a special shout out to Missy, she is great with my 4 year old and my 2 year old. She's very friendly and knowledgeable. I'm highly considering investing in the membership, so I can bring my kids multiple times a week, or at least weekly, as they really do love it. They also have an arts and crafts room! We always get the 2 hour slot and its never enough time for my kids, if that tells you anything. Love it here, and we'll be back soon. Thank you, Check n' Play for being what you are- a space for caregivers & kiddos alike. Love your concept and we need more places like this!”

“Love this new indoor play space, which has imaginative play, arts, and a fun slide and climb structure for kids. We visited over my kid's winter break several times and it was a life savior for my 3 year old since it rained nearly everyday. The coffee was also great (a huge plus for tired parents ), and the overall vibe was welcoming and you could really relax in the cafe area. We felt the care attendants were really nice. When my kid was upset at one point, they checked in and asked if she wanted anything (they offered a hot chocolate for her!). One small note: it was a little hard to find at first since it's inside the mall, but once you know where it is, it's totally easy to find. Hint: across from Zara.”
