The Play Lab 33 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

"The Kiddo I take here loves this place! The general vibe is pleasant & very low key, no loud machines, or mechanical devices, not crowded (at least anytime we’ve been), and full of fun activities for toddlers and small children (I believe ages 1-6yr). There’s a bigger soft square foam pit, a tiny semi-circle ball pit, a little, hidden Lego room, grocer’s counter w plastic, foam & wooden fruits & veggies, complete with nearby mini-kitchen & dining area. Also there’s a larger play area with interactive toys to climb and scoot on, a big treehouse w a slide… and of course the obligatory hanging, cloth chair-swings (2). Overall, it’s a small place but unlike most kid’s spaces, there is a lot of natural light bc it’s ground level & and wall of windows on one side— making the entire place feel very cozy & sweet. And there’s even a good selection of books to read in or OUTside of the play space. Before you enter the ‘socks only area’ is a section that has chairs & tables. (We like to read a story in one of the comfy chairs after we put our shoes back on & before we leave.) FYI I’d suggest packing drinks & snacks bc whilst there are a variety for purchase, prices are high per usual. Finally, the staff is delightful!! The woman who’s usually working in the weekday afternoons, just couldn’t be kinder and is very flexible about the time allowances if it isn’t busy!"

"We just hosted our daughter's second birthday and the Play Lab team did SUCH an amazing job. We rented out the whole space and they set up every single detail - from the decorations, to the food, to the goody bags. Everything was seamless and the kids had the best time. The space is perfect because the kids can run around while the adults can always see them and not have to worry. And the party room looked so great. Highly recommend!"

"I am a preschool teacher in the neighbor school and I love to take my students to the playLab. They love the place and they enjoy the sensory bins at disposal. The staff is super helpful and friendly and it is a very clean and safe space for young children."

"Horrible place ! The owner is not professional. We went to a cookie decorating workshop this week and This so-called workshop was an absolute joke! They couldn't even manage to provide enough icing for each kid, and the so-called "toppings" were just thrown on the table in plastic bags like an afterthought. The kit looked like it came straight from a discount store, costing less than 20$. There weren't even sufficient chairs. All that for 60$ ! Do yourself a favor, there are much nicer play spaces in the area like twinkle Playspace or Space (newly opened)"

"The best place for birthday parties! Paulina and her team were excellent to work with from the beginning. She was very accessible and accommodating from the get go. The venue is excellent - amazing play area, nice natural light, kept super clean and neat. Everything was organized by them and it was just so easy to have a good time. Highly recommend them for your kiddo's next event."
