KIDZ FUNTOWN N. Lincoln Blvd., Edmond
PLAY CAFÉ OKC 610 N.W. 23rd St.
Kids can climb, slide, zip, swing and bounce around at Kidz Funtown. Owners Truong and Thuy Pham said they wanted to create a space for the community to enjoy. “We want to make sure we are blessing the families that come in,” Truong said. “With young kids ourselves, we’ve been visiting indoor play places like this for years and we wanted to bring all of our favorite activities into one space.” The brand new 16,000-square-foot facility opened in November and features a multi-level playground, indoor zip lines, a soft Ninja obstacle course, mini trampolines, ball carousel and more. They also have a dedicated toddler area, playhouses, LEGO station and an arts and crafts table for quieter play. Older kids can challenge each other in the upstairs dodge ball space, and adults are welcome to join in on the fun, too! Admission is $13 for kids 12 and under; however, they frequently offer specials and discounts including weekday admission for toddlers.

Opening this January, Play Café is not a typical play space. Owner Liz Howald says she wanted to create a fun space for both kids and adults. This new family hot spot features a café with a wine, beer, cocktail and coffee bar, a menu of appetizers for light snacks and a Montessori-inspired play space for kids to enjoy dramatic play, building toys, imaginative play, board games and books. There will also be a dedicated space for babies. Drop-in rates are $5 for one child, $7 for two kids and $9 for three or more. The café will also have a rotation of play zone attendants hosting special activities and workshops for families to enjoy including story times, music time with LaffLab, sensory play dates with Homegrown Learning Company, a mom’s article club and more.
