Looking for a fun play area to bring your kiddos? You have to check out MiniSota Play Cafe in Maple Grove!
The MiniSota Play Cafe is located in Maple Grove right in the heart of Arbor Lakes. My daughters and I had the opportunity to visit last weekend for the first time in this location and I wanted to share our experience with you.
First of all I just adore the local theme! There’s Infant Grove Heights, MiniSota, Mini Grove, MiniSota, and Lake MiniTonka. This place is 10/10 for your kiddos that like imagination play! There’s a music shop, a hospital, jail, grocery store, cabin, gym, salon and post office for kids to explore and play together. My daughters (3 and 6) loved visiting each different shop and playing together, along with other kiddos who were there. It was really fun to watch!
I would be silly not to mention their amazing cafe! I don’t always know how good the coffee will be when I visit a play place with my kids, but I’m happy to report the coffee at the MiniSota Play Cafe was delicious! Plus you can bring the coffee along with you inside the play area while you’re hanging with your kids. No food is allowed inside the play area and no outside food or drinks are allowed in the cafe. We didn’t try the food or ice cream but they seemed to have some awesome kid-friendly options!
What I loved as a parent was the attention to detail. There were so many areas for kids to play from the imagination stores to a firetruck with dress up options, to “fishing,” visiting a cabin, playing at the tool bench, making ice cream treats and the little cars (that every kid seems to LOVE!). There’s plenty of places for parents to sit and chat, or bring your work or a computer along. We will definitely be back to visit soon!
Tickets are $13 for a two hour session of play for children ages 1-9 years old, adults are $6.50 and kids under 6 months of age are FREE! There are admission punch cards available that save some $ per visit. They also offer Happy Hour pricing every weekday from 2pm- 7pm for an hour of play for only $8!
MiniSota Play Cafe is located in Maple Grove and hours vary by season. During the fall they are open most Sundays- Thursdays from 9am -7pm each day. You can see their updated calendar right on the MiniSota Play Cafe website!
