Best Indoor Playspaces on Long Island

Once Upon a Treetop, Plainview – My favorite indoor space. This clean, bright, airy indoor interactive little city is a great place to take the kids for some playtime.  Both of my kids love that they can ride around and stop to play in nine of their favorite scenes including a 1950's diner, a train depot, a grocery store, a musical playhouse, and a construction zone. They can dress up, play music and as if that's not enough, there's a three story climbing maze and genuine tree house for them to let loose in – my almost 2 year old loves the low climbing area while my 4 year old prizes himself for getting to the highest point. For the littlest kids there is a fenced in “BIG-KIDS-KEEP-OUT” play garden designed with little hands and feet in mind. One thing to remember is that it is located in an industrial area – to get the large space, so don’t think you are lost while driving there.

Pump it Up, 3 Long Island locations – If you are ever in the mood to bounce – this is the place to go and don’t think you won’t want to run and jump yourself with the kids and let me tell you, it is quite the workout!  Try racing a 4 year old through the obstacle course and you are sure to break a sweat – but don’t worry you won’t stop laughing either. Pump It Up has party rooms featuring large oversized interactive inflatables (bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses, a jousting arena and more). Don’t worry: Pump it Up isn’t just for parties, they often play times where you can show up and let your little ones run wild. They have staff on hand to help with the kids in case climbing into a gigantic inflatable maze wasn’t in your plans.

Orly’s Treehouse, Westbury – Orly’s is located in a large warehouse, which is what is needed to hold all the fabulous stuff they have here. Part playspace, part child-care center, part educational facility, part health club, and part spa…  Where to start? Parents first – There is a spa, cardiovascular gym, exercise classes, workshops, social gatherings, boutique and café. While you are getting your groove on your kids can take classes (with or without mom) in music, dance, gym, art, sports, theatre, martial arts, foreign languages, cooking, science and much more; or they can play on the indoor playground  - my kids couldn’t get enough of the little town surrounding the treehouse and slide.

Active Kidz Long Island, East Hills – Everything you can imagine or ever want outside is inside here.  If your kids are anything like mine they will flip for the indoor adventure maze with 3 levels of slides, tunnels, and web climbs. After you check that out, you can move over to the indoor sports area to play lacrosse, soccer, baseball, basketball, floor hockey and many other activities. Don’t worry if you have little ones, there is also a Toddler Room for kids under two which is fully matted for jumping, climbing and playing on all the soft play equipment. They can explore the many educational and interactive toys and feel just as big as the big kids. If you haven’t had your fill yet, be sure to check out the rock climbing and laser tag and refuel at the snack bar.
