1 / 2Journey Playroom Chicago
π Montclare, IL
Indoor playroom for ages 7 months and up with kinesthetic, fine motor, and imaginative play zones. Evening hours, homeschool programs, and birthday packages make it a standout for working families.
We love Journey Playroom! Weβve been coming 1-2 times a week since it opened. My 2 and 4 year old are always excited to go! Thereβs a nice variety of toys for different ages that are kept clean and organized. Plus thereβs a couple playhouse/climbing structures that help get their energy out when weβre trapped inside all day. The weekday evening hours are a big plus since most play spaces close at 3 or 4pm. Also, we attend the homeschool group once a week which is perfect combo of play and instruction. It is led by Kate, the owner, and she always makes it fun with fresh new activities each week! I also really enjoy that the space is a nice size to where we have been able to get to know other parents and kids that come often and have a little community! We recently had my daughters 2 year old birthday party there as well. Set up and clean up were quick and easy, and Kate helped with the decor and any setup requests we had. Kids could play and parents could keep an easy watch over them while relaxing and socializing. Highly recommend for birthday parties!
π Family Action Verdict
Families with babies and toddlers aged 7 months to 4 years get the most from Journey Playroom. Working parents benefit from the evening hours when most competitors are closed. Regular visitors build community with other families, and the homeschool program adds structured educational value for those who use it weekly.

βWe hosted my kiddos 1st birthday here and it was a HIT! I was so pleased with the care and personalization Kate put forth towards making our event special! It was a relaxed and easy venue -perfect for a bunch of 1-year-olds to play around safely. I got countless compliments from all the parents about the comfortable and positive atmosphere of the playroom. All the babies played nonstop for 2 hours!! I highly recommend this playroom for daily play or events, especially for kids 0 to 4!!!!β

βJourney is a great local play room for your children. Kate is so sweet and does a great job explaining the rules and promos. They recently did a $20 holiday photoshoot. Kate and the photographer did an amazing job. I highly recommend to check them out.β
