Wunderkind

I was really disenchanted by this place. I set up a parent meeting here and when I got there, the one staff member was chatting it up at the counter with a familiar customer (?) for so long without acknowledging me. Finally (over 5 min later) I just walked in with my kids and figured he could come find me when he wanted my money for the entry fee. And why is there a fee to play with Legos? I can do that for free at home! There was no atmosphere, no music, just really dull. The snacks were overpriced on top of the ridiculous fee we paid to be there. Ugh. I won’t go back. Oh and by the way, they are a cashless venue.

Totally UNDERwhelmed. :/
The interior is cute: modern industrial design. However, that’s really where my enthusiasm ended.
Still too new to have a good system down for cleanliness: no regular cleaning schedule established for the lego and their «penalty box» should really be clearly marked in the Lego rooms — not at the café’s counter. Realistically, how many parents really walk the legos that drop on the floor down to that counter? Umm…
Maybe it was just that I visited on a rainy holiday when it was busy — but really, although the physical space can accommodate so much more, the kid capacity is pretty small. It goes from fun to claustrophobic very quickly. In the duplo room over 6 kids and in the main lego table area over 8 kids will start to feel crazy w/​the parents uncomfortably sharing tables to the side. The table space can really only accommodate enough parents for a 1:1 parent: kid ratio assuming everyone is sharing tables… so, good for playdates but not so much for individual families going to visit.
Overpriced to pay both admission ($ 6/​child — even siblings despite the website listing a sibling discount which they don’t honor) and severely overpriced food ($ 3.50 banana bread slice + $ 2.85 for a jr. size 4oz Odwalla).
In addition, staff is pretty minimal — with obvious other priorities. Considering that the place was packed and didn’t have enough seating, it was annoying that a staff member was taking up a 4-​top table for their laptop & books… all ok if the place is empty but really not cool when it’s busy.
Would I go again? Only during a regular work day during a non-​busy time…

This place worked out perfectly for us recently as we were in from out of town for some appointments at Children’s but the timing of them was such that we needed to find something to do to kill time nearby on a rainy day with our 6 year old son. So many indoor activities for kids are super hectic and exhausting for parents too! This place was a comfortable, clean, modern atmosphere for mom and dad with coffee, wine, and small food options, and ideal for my son who could stand and play with Legos for hours. We came during school hours so it wasn’t busy at all and it was nice and relaxed. I loved that the music playing was Beatles and music that didn’t foster a hectic atmosphere. If we lived in Seattle we would totally do the monthly fee and take advantage of the Lego classes, but we will definitely come back if/​when we are in the area again! I hope this business does well!

All and all I was unimpressed. We planned a play date there (5 toddlers) and it felt really tight in the downstairs room (we weren’t the only ones there). Also, was getting vibes and eyerolls from the other mom’s/nannies. It was really uncomfortable. I had every intention of purchasing food/​drinks, but the fee on top was a little much. Glad I checked it out, but doubt I’ll be back.

Very clean design. Was there in the afternoon and was super mellow. Many public play spaces try to shove too many toys into a tight space, making it overwhelming for both kids and parents — this place doesn’t. Would totally come again.

Nice that they are open late, but the employees clean up too early before they close which is noisy and they are not available to make drinks because they are trying to get cleaned up before closing.

This place is great as a rainy day activity. We were visiting from Hawaii and did «adult» activities. I.e. Shopping. The kids were bouncing off the walls wanting to do some sort of kid related thing. This is the most economical 2-​hour activity that the boys loved. I wish they had this at home. I will recommend this to all of my friends.

Found out about this place this week and we’ve already been twice. My kiddo loves trains and Duplos, so the downstairs Duplo room is a huge win. It is smaller than the Lego room upstairs, but there is enough playspace. I love that the tables are the perfect height for kiddos. At one point today there were 6 or 7 kids plus adults in there and although full, everything worked out. It’s great that there are duplicates of almost everything. Helps with keeping the peace! We’ve only spent a few minutes upstairs, but it looks fun too!
I had a panini, which was tasty. Didn’t get snacks today, but they had a lot of choices. My coffee was good. Will have to come back later in the day to have wine or beer (it’s always available, just not a good afternoon choice for me).
They have Lego classes some evenings that sound really cool. My kiddo just isn’t old enough to take advantage yet.
We love this place! My just turned 3 year old played for 4.5 straight today and was already asking to come back when we left.

Loved the Legos but the food was a big miss. This is not a place to have something to eat. Come here for a coffee, glass of wine or beer and watch your kiddos play with the Legos. — now we know, but doubtful we will be back.

Update:
Today we went and brought the hubby. It was perfect. They now have tea and more kids options for food. Both kids had an apple yogurt combo with granola and we had one of Mollys sandwiches and the blue cheese walnut salad.
Dad opted for a beer as he was pretty excited about the amazing selection and I had some tea!!! So happy for that.
Looks like they are on the right track and the place wasn’t packed at all. Perfect amount of kids and plenty of seats for the adults.

I was really excited about this place, but was a little disappointed when we went. We got there around 11:30 on a Friday, and the Duplo room felt crowded, even with just five other kids in there. The configuration of the Duplo room made it hard for parents to join in, hence all the moms sitting at the tables looking at their cell phones. Now, I’m all for kids playing independently, but because it was uncomfortable and awkward (and tight in space) for me to play alongside my son, I was a little bored sitting at the table. (Note to self: Bring a friend next time.) Also, the acoustics were magnified in the room, especially when kids were fighting over toys. (Suggestion: Can you put any padded panels on the ceiling to absorb some of the noise?)
We checked out the Legos room upstairs, but unfortunately all the chairs were full. :(By 12:30, the place started to clear out, so the Duplo room seemed less chaotic, and the Legos room was completely empty. Hooray! Normally my youngest kid is ready to nap by then, but since she was doing fine, we stayed longer and got a chance to play more freely without so many other kids around.
I like that they offer food there, as well as real tables for people to eat at. I was, however, disappointed to see that they were selling Costco muffins (pastries are $ 2 – 4). If I’m going to pay that much for a muffin, I kind of want better ones.
Other good points, though: I loved the music that they played (not kiddie music!), and the staff was really nice. Overall, a good place for kids, but only if you don’t mind feeling a little cramped at times and the noise.
