One recent adventure my family and friends went on was to PlayWorld in Grandville.

It is located in an old renovated mall.  It shares space with Mars Bible Church and the Visser Family YMCA.

Inflatables, tunnels, preschool toys, ball pits, and concession stands fill up this large space.  Your kids will have a great time running all over for hours at this place. 

They have 2 main sections, one for younger kids and one for older children.  We went with kids ages 1-6, but I saw a lot of older kids having a good time there, too.

The restrooms are kid-friendly.  They also have birthday party rooms.  Nothing fancy, but they are a private space.

The only drawbacks that I noticed is that there is not a good place to nurse if you have a baby, and it is difficult to see your kids or find them once they are up in a tunnel.  You may not bring in any outside food unless it is a baby bottle.

Probably for security reasons, each child's hand is stamped with a number that matches one stamped on the adult that brought him/her.  The kids shoes are also taken at check-in and put in a bin with a matching number.  When you check out you get your shoes back and they check the number on your hand.



Admission.......$5.95 per child
Children 12-24 months.......$3.95
Parents and infants under 12mo. never charged. 
Socks are required for all play participants.

 For more information or to reserve a party room call: 616-530-9222
Mon-Thur. 10am-9pm
Fri.-Sat. 10am-10pm

I would like your availability for a birthday room on Saturday, May 23. Do you have anything. How many guests can we invite? What is the cost for a birthday room?

I visited this establishment today and was extremely concerned to see a young man tossing an approximately 9 month old baby down one of the 12 or so ft. slides. A group of horrified parents watched, as the man continued this repeatedly, laughing and thinking it was funny. That poor baby... Then, as I went up to the counter to make an employee aware of the situation and to my astonishment, I realized this was her boyfriend and the baby being tossed about was HERS... The two of them laughed and acted as if it was just hilarious to see how big her eyes were getting as she flew down the slide.. Amazing to find people in this world, who abuse their children in such ways. Even worse to see an establishment that is supposed to be a clean and safe place for children, allowing such behavior.. Definitely makes me question the values of the owner.‎

We've been here once. My 5 year old son was invited to come along with one of his classmates. They had a BLAST!

While it's not the most fun for parents it was a great way to spend a cold day without having to spend a lot of money!

It wasnt too busy, the food prices were reasonable, and with all the play space it was absolutely unnecessary to spend money on the pay-to-play rides/games.

As my son's birthday is coming up fast it was HIS idea to have his party here. I went to their website and I must say their party packages are EXTREMELY less expensive than some other play places, yet still offer EVERYTHING we'll need.
