Reviews for MiniSota Play Cafe in Maple Grove, MN
I used to go there when my oldest where 3-4. I had two complaints: cold cement floors and not enough toys. Now they?re off to... school and I visited with my youngest. SAME. Ok forget the floors. Consistently I see reviews that the place doesn?t have enoughtoys. Why is it so difficult to invest into a few more play food items, roll cars and baby dolls?!! I have a better toy cashregister at home than this place. I understand the investment cost, but if there were more things to play with, I?d come moreoften. Make it free for adults, add more toys, and I?m sure it would start bringing more revenue! Unless empty rooms is what youguys want? Read more
We love the play Cafe! I bring my 2, 3 & 6 year olds and all three have a blast each time we go. Here my three-year-old is... giving a new friend a wash & cut at the salon.. though he told me he was adding mustard to his hair. ???? The space is clean,well-maintained and the staff is friendly! They offer drinks for adults to enjoy while the kids run out their energy (try thejade cloud iced tea with one pump of cane sugar)! They have snacks for the littles as well if they get hangry, too. We lovelocal small businesses and this is definitely a great one to support. Go!! Bring your tiny humans and sit back while they playin the enclosed space to give you a breath if you need it. ???? P.S. They offer punch cards to save a bit on admission & they'reworth it!! Enjoy! ???? Read more
I love the concept. And the owner is great. It's not my favorite play cafe. The cement floors are a big turn off and the price... is a lot compared to other places I have gone. It would be awesome if you could get a coffee with the price of an adultadmission or no adult admission. This play cafe is my last resort because of the cost. It needs new infant gear, and generaltouch ups on toys and details. Like the construction area, things are ripped off and the tools don't work anymore. The musicroom is in rough shape as well. I love the hair salon and the cabin. The sensory bins you can buy are sooooo cute, and fromwhat I've seen the classes are great. They also have a cool little library so if you do give it a try, bring some books todonate! Read more
Fine place. Standard toys area for kids up to about 5 or so. Limited food snacks. Adults paying is a bit much.
Very great staff, decent coffee, entertaining for very little ones. I felt it could use some upgrades, lots toys broken and not... for much older then 3 or 4 years old. A tad more spendy I felt. Lots moms and dad with little kids definitely getting energyout. Very cute place. The Cafe and over all idea is the best. Pay for adult and child and socks. Which I didn't know ahead oftime about the socks. Fill waiver out online before hand. Read more
A wonderful place to go! Loved how big it is in there. The location has two entrances and it?s all shoes off which I really... appreciate as a mom with a crawler. The area to play is so fun! So many different areas and skills to be used in play. Areas forbalance, jumping, and coordination with pictures on the floor. (Also a part of preschool readiness screening) Soooo manydifferent things to do. Both my little ones- 1&3, loved it there. Food was a little pricy and it?s a bit of a bummer you can?tbring your own snacks but understandable given the population. They have sensory boxes for sale that are so neat! (See pictures)Definitely would recommend! Read more
Such a fantastic place to take younger kids to burn off some energy. Fun, creative, unique, unlike anything I?ve seen for... toddlers. My son can?t get enough and I love that I can sip on a coffee while he plays. The staff is so sweet as well! Read more
