Kids Empire Merrillville

"This is the best place to get your children's energy out along with yourself!!! I had so much just on my own. Oh, beware of the Lego area, I caution all parents to already have in place a "No throwing Giant Lego pieces at others" I fell victim to my child. The motorized bikes do cost extra but some children are super sweet and will swipe their cards for other children to ride."

"My family and I enjoyed ourselves here! I’m so happy another kid place opened up in this area. The pricing is great, it’s only $20/kid and my husband & I were free. Concessions were reasonably priced. It was nice we were able to wear our own socks, and not buy specific kinds. We went from 2:30-4:40pm and hardly anyone was there so that was pretty nice. I will say though, for it being a kid place the employees aren’t too “kid friendly”. Everything looks clean! I love how it’s one entry price and you can keep your receipt and come back on the same day. I have a family of 7 so it’s nice to find something to do for $100!"

"Nice addition to the mall. One price, $20 per child no time limits. Socks required for all children & adults due to young children crawling around. You can purchase socks at the facility for $4 or wear your own which was nice. Same day reentry is allowed if you’d like to leave & come back. Grip socks aren’t needed. Very different indoor playground than what’s already offered in the area. Refreshing to see indoor play besides trampolines."

"The main issue, short staffed which causes delays in signing in and getting into the main play area. Ordering the food is time consuming as well because of the staff issue, but the food prices are super reasonable you don’t feel ripped off. From heathy snacks like cheese sticks, yogurt, apple sauce for a dollar to a 7 dollar boxed kids meal the food is super affordable. The main play is huge and very entertaining for the kids. They have two giant slides and all this is accessible to the parents. There is a play place for toddlers as well."

"Very fun! Kid and adult friendly! Adult free per child entry purchase. Only $20! They only accept card! P.S. There is a GIANT SLIDE!! Not the one from the pictures."
