★★★★★Featured review by Kristy Frane

Great place for younger kids to play. Amazing for infants and toddlers

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for parents of infants and toddlers seeking a clean, low-stimulation play space with structured sessions. The midday sanitizing closure means you get a freshly cleaned environment each session. Older kids past early elementary may find the stations too simple. Reservations are essential on weekends.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Reserve your session slot online in advance — walk-ins are turned away once capacity is reached
Bring socks for all visitors; no outside shoes or bare feet allowed on the play floor
🎟️Grab coffee and sandwiches from the attached shop next door and eat upstairs during the second session
🚗Sunday is reserved for private parties only — plan weekday or Saturday visits for general admission

A marvelous play to bring your kid & let them play around for a few hours. Clean & tidy - just how we like it. Lots of little stations to bounce around to. Friendly staff. Wonderful coffee shop next door so let the kids play, snag a coffee and a sandwich then head upstairs for snack time.

Overview

The Children's Play Gallery fills a downtown Oconomowoc storefront with hands-on themed zones — a Ship of Discovery, Construction Zone, International Marketplace Café, and Art Center. The facility closes midday for sanitizing between sessions. Reservations are strongly recommended as capacity is capped; walk-ins accepted only when space allows. A coffee shop next door serves drinks and sandwiches, and families can bring snacks upstairs during the second session.
