Space Play Academy
📍 Hillsborough Township, NJ
Space Play Academy in Hillsborough, NJ is a climate-controlled boutique indoor playground with 7 space-themed zones designed for ages 1–12. Reservations required on weekends. Non-slip socks required for all players.
I've been to MANY kids' parties (I'm 69 yrs old) and this place was the BEST. It was safe, clean and hospitable. The kids had a BLAST. It was set up perfectly for the parents/adults to watch their kids and I loved the separate room for the food. The owners were amazing! I can't say enough about how terrific an evening we had here on April 18, 2026 (from 5 to 7). The pizza, cupcakes and cake were delicious! My granddaughter was so happy. It provided enough enjoyment for the 7 yr old guest as it did for my 18-month-old granddaughter! My 94-yr-old mom had access to a bathroom VERY close to where she sat. I will tell everyone I know about this amazing place. God bless the owners for giving us a day to remember forever.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for children ages 1–12, with zones scaled to different developmental stages. The separate party room and attentive owner presence make it a strong birthday venue for groups. Caregivers of toddlers will appreciate the enclosed, manageable scale. Bring non-slip socks or purchase a pair at the door — they are required for all players.
