The Playroom NYC

We hosted my daughter’s second birthday at The Playroom NYC. Everything went perfectly down to the last detail and we couldn’t have picked a better place to host Zara’s party. Tali’s wonderful team was so great they were able to accommodate some last minute requests before a long weekend. The Playroom NYC team was amazing! Would definitely recommend the hands-​free party.

An amazing lifesaver!
It was a rainy day on the Upper East Side and I was playing Aunt Kate for a friend who was at the hospital being seen by specialists. We were in town from her home in PA and staying at The Surrey. We were set to play at the Central Park playground for the morning– until the skies opened up and made it impossible. I did a quick Unilocal search and found this place– and thank goodness it was within decent walking distance. Saved from dreaded «stuck in a hotel room with a toddler» syndrome.
For a $ 30 fee (plus $ 2 for my socks), I got a 20 month old a great play area with kids her own age. The staff was super organized and helpful. They were constantly available for questions and continuously cleaning and wiping things down. Nice, friendly women who truly care about what they do– and their clients.
Parker spent the morning playing on the wheeled cars, the blocks, slides, costumes, stage, toys and little grocery store. She avoided the seemingly popular climbing area with slides, tunnels and several levels– which made Aunt Kate happy because she really was a bit too young for it, but it looked amazingly fun.
Cool music (for the kids) was playing and there were clean bathrooms and a snack room complete with Disco Ball. They sold healthy treats (thank goodness one was a squeezy) and drinks for a reasonable price.
Kids were well behaved and the place was packed but not crowded. No issues with kids or parents.
Impressed all around. I love that they have drop in pricing in addition to monthly and yearly subscriptions.

LOVE the Playroom! We had my son’s 4^th birthday party there and it was a top notch experience. Their party planning team did an excellent job putting the party together They really handle everything so it’s easy on the host-​all we had to do was show up!
The cake included with the package was beautiful and delicious too. I highly recommend the playroom for a child’s birthday party. It’s more expensive than other places in the area but totally worth it for what you get.

The Playroom NYC is the best new addition to the UES! It’s such and fun and exciting place to bring kids! The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. Cleaning staff were constantly wiping things down and cleaning the floors and bathrooms… A huge plus!!! The party room is huge! The classes offered are diverse and engaging. It’s the perfect place for anyone with kids living in NYC or visiting NYC — Finally a place you can pop into for open play in NYC without having to be enrolled!
Can’t say enough good things about The Playroom NYC.

Adorable place with even better staff !! Great place for both kids and parents — highly recommend !!!

Just what the neighborhood needed another safe clean and cool place for families to have a good time. The playroom NYC is so cool! So pack up your kids and plan a great day at the playroom ! Lots of cool stuff to do and like I said so badly needed for the upper Eastside. Nice owners we wish them all the luck in the new business!

This place is amazing for kids! My nephew loved playing in the climbing gym. It was so clean and the people who work there are so nice and helpful! Definitely going back ASAP!

My daughter has the greatest time when she’s at the playroom! Great place to pop into any time of day, any weather. So happy they opened this up right around the corner.
