Testimonials
Parents and caregivers love Woodland Play Café and Family Club not just for the play - it’s the peace of mind, the friendships, and the cozy corner that feels like a second home.
This place was great! Didn't even know it existed. I walked by and asked about prices and turned out our son is free because he's under 13 months old. He loved playing with the giant Legos and the fun things on the walls in the infant area.
