Kidsville Play Cafe, a new indoor play area in Puyallup, Washington, officially opened on February 1, 2025, offering a vibrant space for children from infants to 6 years old. The facility boasts seven themed rooms, including a captivating dinosaur zone and a charming princess tea party area, designed to keep the youngest learners engaged during colder months.

Admission is priced at $13. 50, and they are working on membership options and private party rentals. With its focus on family engagement and community needs, Kidsville Play Cafe is poised to become a beloved local destination.
