The Play Spot

Always an absolute blast! This play place is mostly geared toward the younger set. Probably under age 10 but it depends on how much your kid enjoys imaginary play. My four and six year olds absolutely adore it. The play areas change around periodically but there’s usually a vet center, play kitchen/grocery store, a magic spell booth, puppet show, and a few small games (skee ball, fooseball, basketball) in the back plus a foam pit, small ball pit, trampoline, and a variety of ninja foam blocks to jump and a roller slide and mountain to climb. Also the front area has one of those interactive coloring areas that animates your drawing on a big projector screen. Plus some tables full of building toys. There are plenty of places to sit and chat with other parents while staying within range of your kids. I’m always impressed with how clean they’re able to keep it and how chill the vibe usually is. At our last visit they added a new room full of airtoobz machines which kept my four year old busy for most of the play session. They also added a “snowball fight” area where you could pelt each other with tiny fluffy balls. I ended up in there with both my kids and nephew having the best time. It’s a really great place to go let your kids have a fun without being overstimulated and blasted in the face with screens and lights and ending the day in a meltdown. It gives wholesome playdate vibes and I just adore it. It’s really what the children’s museum in Portsmouth wishes it could be. If you’re a family with a quiet calm child it’s amazing. If you’re a family with a wild animal child climbing the walls and trying to parkour off every surface in your home it’s amazing. Bring em both. They’re gonna love it.
