The Play Cafe 143 Marion Boulevard, Marion, IA 52302

"Enjoyed meeting a friend here with my toddler and 6 week old. Though it is centered around play (don't forget grippy socks... You can purchase if you do forget) It feels very clean and well kept. It almost feels like a mini children's museum. My toddler loved the slides and climbing equipment. She also just was content playing with all the different centers that they have set up. There is coffee and food for purchasing, but you can also bring your own snacks. We had a great time chatting, as much as we can chat with my toddler and her other three children :-) would definitely come back and plan to! They also do parties and gatherings there, which I will look into for my 2-year-old's birthday party coming up."

"Play cafe is such a great idea! Excellent addition to the community. They sell snacks and drinks inside obviously. The punch cards are a nice idea to save a couple bucks. 10/10"

"The Play Cafe is a fun, safe place for kids of all ages. We just had our 10 year old grand daughters birthday there! We did dancing with disco lights, nail painting, hair braiding, arts and crafts, bracelet making and pizza and cake! Not to mention all the fun areas to play!! So much to do!! We had babies, younger kids, her age kids, high school kids and lots of adults. Not one person was bored for 3 straight hours!! The owner Jen was very attentive and and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend ."

"Love taking the kids (ages 11 months-5 yrs) to play in an environment that is clean, safe, and fun for all ages! My middle and youngest also love attending music class and mom loves socializing and some iced coffee."

"We looooove the play cafe. It's our modern day Central Perk (complete with the yellow couch) where toddlers are celebrated. Great place to meet new mom friends, hang out and have coffee and snacks, while letting my toddler mess up this space instead of my home. The staff and owner are great! We love the different types of play including the story times, music class, paint and sip events, bounce house week each month, I could go on and on! Our group consists of kids 6 months old up to 15 years old and they all love it."
