Just Kidding Playground (Forest Ave)
📍 Staten Island, NY
Indoor play venue on Staten Island for toddlers and young children, featuring trampolines, ball pit with slides, pretend play supermarket, and costume dress-up. Birthday packages include themed decorations, setup, food service, and cleanup.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 1-5 who want a clean, actively supervised indoor play session or a fully managed birthday party. The all-inclusive party format removes planning stress, and the pretend-play areas hold toddler attention well. Older children seeking more physical challenge may find the equipment sparse.

“I hosted my children's birthday party (2 + 3 year olds) at Just Kidding and cannot say enough good things. The planning was seamless; all of my emails were responded to in less than one hour. I was so excited to learn that a theme is included in one of the packages and so much was provided. They did a themed balloon arch, table clothes, table wear and banner. I was able to drop off a few of my own decorations and balloons to add in advance and the staff offered to set/blow up everything for us. They were very good about announcing when it was time to eat, time for cake etc. The staff plated all of the food for the children in advance so all they had to do was go into the room and sit down to eat (which cut out a lot of chaos that you could experience if everyone has to plate their own food). There were two pizza pies, chicken, fries and juice boxes included for the children. We were able to order a bit of extra pizza for the adults through them as well. The room was cleaned and reset between food and cake very quickly. They packed up all of our extra food/desserts for us and helped get gifts out the door. The kids of course had a great time playing as well. All in all it was a 10/10!! Also GOODIE BAGS WERE INCLUDED! We loved it.”

“We recently hosted a birthday party at Just Kidding Playground and had such a wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully organized. The party room was bright, clean, and very comfortable for both kids and adults. The setup was ideal, the decorations were beautiful, and the music created such a fun atmosphere without being overwhelming. You can really tell the team pays attention to every detail. Everything ran smoothly and we were able to truly relax and enjoy the celebration. Overall, a superb experience - we couldn’t have asked for a better place to host our party. Highly recommend!”
