I swear this place is a joke. They sent our son home because he had pink eye which is very understandable they said he could return the next day. We go to return him to the next day and they would not accept him because he did not have a doctor's note. So the next day we brought in a doctor's note and they still would not accept him. Because it said on the doctors note he had a covid test so the next day we returned with the negative result of the covid test and they said that we still can't bring him in because we need to get approval from the tribal council saying that he is clear to go back

Here you can drop your kids off when you're winning thousands of dollars at the casino. Or if you feel like going and doing some ice skating it's right over there. Let's go!

The reason I took off a star is because service was slow, pizza took a very long time, cupcakes were late and they were asking us to move out of our seats before we even got them. The play place itself is very nice. I would recommend b day parties here you can't beat the price! Just know mostly run by teenagers on Saturday and things a bit unorganized. Plan extra time in ordering food. Bring your own desserts.

My 16mo old daughter and I went there to play and see what it was all about. The employees are very inviting and friendly. The climbing structure with the slides is awesome and I could see a kid spending a ton of time and energy in it because there are so many twists, turns and levels to it. The tot area was pretty pathetic. The toys were dirty and the ones that were battery operated didn't work. They had a tactile board that my daughter found cool for all of two seconds. The other thing that my daughter really likes was the interactive light and dance floor game. We will definitely put Playworks

Usally thus place is pretty good! but today I went in to pick my daughter up. They did not change her dipper I changed on the way out, they did not feed her neither of her bottles and she had black and blue stuff all over her hand. As I walked in she was crying hicsericly and sitting in a high chair. I am very disappointed. I pay them money to take care of my children. And to walk into that is un-acceptable!

Usually a fun place. Today- they charged us to get in, which would be fine, if we didn't have an annual membership for the kids to go. The staff that we encountered today were rude and management was less than helpful also. I really don't understand why some places treat people like this. We have an annual membership and were still charged to get in. Why buy the annual membership then?

Playworks is wonderful for our family's situation, I work evenings and my fiance works mornings. We end up only needing someone to watch our daughter a few times a week, depending on my schedule, as my fiance has a set schedule. It is easy to drop-off and pick-up. The teachers in the pod my daughter attends, which is for infant - toddler, are wonderful men and women who clearly take their job seriously and love the children and the work they do.
My only gripe is cost, which does go down as your child gets older, and a few issues we have had in the past with things getting misplaced. I left our

Went along with my little guy when his daycare went to PlayWorks for the morning. It is like a big Chuck E Cheese with arcade games and play set. My little one is a little too small for some of the climbing in the play set but he did manage to access a few slides and had fun. There was even a toddler area for the littler ones but should have adult supervision.

We had lunch before heading home. I wasn't entirely surprised with the cardboard like frozen pizza but they did have other things on the menu we didn't try (what kid passes up pizza?).

Playworks is a huge indoor playplace on the border of Shakopee and Prior Lake, right near the casino. My boyfriend (who grew up in nearby Jordan) introduced me to the place.

We've had a really good experience here every time we've been here (3 times). The playplace is HUGE-- a couple of stories tall, padded, very safe, with lots of slides and tunnels and fun stuff for the kids to explore--and it includes a digital dance floor, an arcade, and food to order. You can also drop your kids off for periods of time.

My 5-year-old loves this place. He can't be torn away. The one downside
