The Peoria PlayHouse,

2218 N Prospect Rd, Peoria, IL 61603, United States

"This was a fun space that was pretty fun for our 2 year old. There were some exhibits that we skipped as they seemed too advanced for him, but they looked like they'd be a hit I'm the future! The area leading up to The Peoria Playhouse/Park District grounds was a bit run down, but the actual was as well-kept as it can be for a cold January day. The staff was nice and very interactive. We'll be back!"

"We came here after going to the zoo. We are from MN and I have never been to place like this. Super cute and so much for the kids to do. Great for all ages. We had kids with age range from 3- 13 and they all enjoyed themselves. I wish we had a place like this in my hometown. 3 levels inside of all sorts of hands on activities. I didn't have to worry about my kid breaking something as it was all built with kids in mind. Loved that they had bins for "dirty" toys and they had hand sanitizer throughout. I did think the price was pretty high but if I lived closer, a membership would be reasonable. Hightly recommend going!"

"We always have a wonderful time when we visit, but this time we decided to have my son's 3rd birthday there. The fizzy painting project was fun, educational, and had all of the kids getting creative! Our party pal Debbie was so kind and helpful. You could tell she was a former educator by how wonderful she was with the kids! Miranda was very helpful and attentive as well. The room was spacious and we could use our own decor. It wasn't super structured, and help was available when it was needed. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a party venue for your little one!"

"This is a great spot to spend several hours with a busy toddler. There are so many different play areas that appeal to different interests. My 2yo loves the kinetic sand area upstairs & the train & water play areas downstairs. It’s directly next to the Peoria zoo so if you really want to make a full day of fun, you can easily visit both."

"I absolutely love this place. I bought a membership for my grandkids and added a caregiver so the parents can take them too. There is so much to do and learn. From farm life, and learning about agriculture, to learning how water moves. Making movies and the craft rooms are incredible. My two year old granddaughter loves the playhouse and asks to see the baby dolls that are in the play kitchen. It’s clean very well organized, the membership literally pays for itself in just a few trips. There are picnic tables nearby to go out and have a picnic. There are two playgrounds nearby and the Peoria zoo. Well worth coming for a visit!"
