We hosted our daughter’s second birthday party at Play Time RI and it was excellent. It was smooth sailing from the start with easy communication with Suzy as we planned everything over email. Once we arrived, the decorations were so cute and perfectly set up. The pizza and cake pops for the kids were delicious and Suzy was very accommodating in letting us bring additional foods for the adults. All the kids (and adults) had the best time, and Theresa was really helpful throughout the party with set up and clean up. The space is great and clean with a variety of toys and play areas. Highly recommend!!

We had our son’s first birthday here and everyone had so much fun! The play area is very clean and has so many activities for the kids. We did the most expensive package and Suzy worked with us to personalize the package to our needs. We were able to provide our own food which was ideal for us when feeding little ones. :) I would absolutely recommend this place for a birthday party. All the decorations were handled by play time and we were so happy with it!

I had my son’s first birthday at Play Time RI. The owner, Suzy, was fantastic and the space was perfect. She was very responsive and did an amazing job with the decorations and keeping the place tidy. We brought our own cake and some food platters, and Suzy ordered pizzas and the cake pops. We had several people with food restrictions and greatly appreciated her accommodating for everyone. My son had a great time and there were so many toys for kids of a variety of ages. We will definitely be back!!!

We have been taking our 2 year old here to play for a few months, and were impressed by the selection of toys, cleanliness and staff. We decided to throw her birthday party there, and we were blown away. From the decorations, to set-up, staff, and most of all the ease of it all. We just showed up with goody bags and a cake, while they did everything for us. We cannot say enough great things!

We had my daughter’s 2nd birthday party at Play Time, and it was a massive success! As soon as we arrived, she was super excited and immediately ran off to play! It was very hard to get a lot of the guests to sit for lunch and cake, because the selection of toys and activities is so engaging! They have A LOT! The decorations, tea and coffee bar, and customer service were also amazing. Suzy, the owner, is so accommodating. We’ll definitely be back soon for free play, especially during the colder months!
