Had a Bluey themed birthday party for my 1 year old. From booking until the end of the party Stephanie was such a great host. Answered all my questions promptly and gave us tips and food recommendations! Our child and guests had such a wonderful time. The decorations were great and the surprise visit from Bluey was a hit! Would recommend to anyone planning a party and want to actually enjoy your time with your child instead of the stress of planning and hosting!

The best place to have a birthday for a 4 year old! The kids had a blast! Staff was so helpful! The owner was so accommodating last minute. I was to have a bounce house but it was going to rain so I called within days of the event and Danielle was able to squeeze us in and make some cute invitations for us!! When we arrived I had help setting up and cleaning up. But the place is so cute! I had never been before but my son and his friends were having so much fun! The sand boxes both kinetic and play sand were a hit. And the ball pit too! The place is clean and organized and sooo much to play with! This is a great place if you have children ages 1-6 ! I highly recommend for just playing and parties! Thank you again ! We will be back to be members to join the fun through all seasons

Play town In RI, everything is close by. Coming from East Providence, Bristol feels far, but one day we ended up in the area by accident and someone recommended we visit Play Town, Children’s Activity Center. I don’t frequent play spaces in my area thinking my kids have toys at home, but Play Town doesn’t offer toys, they offer experiences - sensory experiences! My kids favorite spot is the sand box. Then the farm table and the ball pit with mini trampoline. But that’s not all, they have a playground station, coloring station, kitchen area, race track and cars, building station PLUS an area where adults and kids can snack. I’m not a coffee lover, but there’s even a machine and coffee cups available FOR FREE. Wow! Additionally, there’s access to a bathroom and a baby station where you can nurse comfortably in a rocking chair and change baby’s diaper (they even offer supplies - AGAIN, FOR FREE!). There’s usually always parking on the street and a public parking lot nearby, as well. No excuse, head over to Play Town for a day of fun close or far from home!

We had our daughter's third birthday party here and it was fantastic! the kids were busy, no one was overstimulated, and the parents were able to socialize together. Plus, clean-up was a breeze! Everyone had a great time; I would absolutely recommend!
