Is Playhouse Fairfield Worth a Visit? Absolutely!

Located on Black Rock Turnpike, between the Merritt and I-95, Playhouse Fairfield is convenient for families all over Connecticut.

With three slides, climbing options, endless balls from the ball pit, and more, Playhouse Fairfield has plenty of space for kids to explore. The ball pit is one layer so it's very easy for even an 18-month-old to walk through. The sloth's safari zoo theme is inviting with bright colors and characters for a fun kid atmosphere. My preschooler thinks Playhouse Fairfield is paradise, never wanting to leave or always asking to go back. She loves the slides most. 

Worried about germs? Playhouse Fairfield's mission is cleanliness. Balls and equipment are cleaned daily to ensure the best environment for kids. It's always clean when I visit with my kids, which is important to me as a parent. 

While kids are playing on the indoor playground, parents have several comfy seating options for nearby viewing. Tables and outlets are available too. Don't forget, complimentary hot coffee is included!
