Our capacity is approximately 25 children at a time for open play. Our play attendants and staff are trained to cap capacity based on the feeling of the space.

Socks please! If you have socks with grips on the bottom, even better. Shoes must be left in cubbies at the front entrance. This helps us keep our space clean and safe, especially for our littlest guests who crawl and scoot around. If you forget your socks, no problemo. We've got extras available for purchase.

Good question. No, we do not offer child care. Our staff will help facilitate play and engage with your children. However, it is the caretaker's responsibility to be supervising their child's safety at all times.

Guests without children are welcome to purchase a drink to-go or shop our retail section for a gift. However, The Little Village Play Cafe is a safe space designated children and their caretakers. Because of this, only guests with children can access the play space. We reserve the right to kindly ask anyone to leave.

On Saturdays & Sundays, we apply a $7 Special Guest fee for customers spending time in the play space without children. Learn more about our pricing and this policy here.

Of course! If there's anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please email hello@thelittlevillageplaycafe.com.
