There’s the stardust tree fort, which features a suspended tower with a netted bridge, plus a Red Hot Fire House that features a massive fire truck, stairs and a second-floor firehouse. Other special features include a graffiti studio, a construction play area, the General Store (a 1950s–style market complete with groceries) and a beauty parlor.

This Park Slope hotspot is a win-win for the whole family. The cafe and playground hybrid will give parents the opportunity to snack and socialize—a much-needed break—while their kids run wild. Youngsters will be able to slide into a ball pit, create masterpieces in the LEGO station, test their agility at the angled climbing wall, run around the matted play area and explore the wonders of the magnetic wall. Let the kiddies refuel with juice and cookies once they've wrapped up their adventures, and don't forget to explore the possible birthday party options available! 

At this Kidville location, you’ll find a supervised indoor gym, tons of weekly classes such in dance, arts, science and more, plus a boutique and a café. Pampered playtime at these  megaspaces is a bit pricey, but worth it.
