The owner lady has no sense of talking and yells at people, she did do us a favour of rescheduling the party as someone had passed away in our family but they did not fulfil the promise, money is the only thing on the mind, AC did not work for a party booked in peak summer and instead of accepting mistakes the owner argued and said it’s sunday i have arranged coolers, but how do we reschedule when invitations are sent!!!! She spoke in an ill manner and wanted us to cancel the party an hour before guests had to show up and decoration was done !!! Worst part is when guests came, she told them i had an argument with the organisers, insane. Save yourself money, time and embarrassment, pune has plenty of play areas to take your kids and organise parties, we wish we had known about this earlier and someone had written a review to give the caution, had we known this we would have donated her the money booked and save us the embarrassment and having everyone sweat in heat and having such a downgraded argument!!! She wanted me to thank her for arranging coolers, thanks for ruining a special day for us.

A very good place for toddlers, not only a play area but also available are a variety of educational, artwork, exploring areas for kids. Slides, obstacle course, cannon ball firing, small size community places, artwork, activities and reading areas make up the play area. Helpers are available in the playzone to help the kids around.
Parents can accompany the child inside and also chill out in the cafe which overlooks the play area. Highly recommended.

We went on a Monday afternoon - so it was rather peaceful and the kids got ample time and space to play around. It’s not the largest activity centre in town , but it’s still adequately spacious for a place in Koregaon Park.

The layout is cleverly done, with glass windows from the cafe so the grown-ups could enjoy a cuppa while keeping an eye at the trouble-makers.

Highlight for my 4yr old daughter was the toilet (WC to be precise) they have a kid-size toilet & a kid-height Wash basin along with an adult size toilet & wash basin; something I have missed in more kid establishments in India far and wide. They get a hi-fi and a thumbs up for this one. In addition to this, they had paper toilet rolls and a non touch drying machine in the toilet.

The check in & check out process is simple. Carry socks.

The shoe rack is also cleverly done. Thumbs up.

I took one star out because personally I would have liked to see slightly healthier drink & food options for kids. When I visited this place ( Sept 2018) they only had Hershey’s Milkshakes and Real fruit Tetra packs, and chocolate loaded drinks. (IMO these are not the best options for kids).

Now the real play areas are fun, the building blocks space is nice.

The pretend play stations are also fun - Doctors Clinic, Supermarket etc.

They have a party area which can be enclosed if required ( clever use of space I think with folding doors etc).

The staff is very friendly and they seemed to be happy working there (which is amazing when you have young people as clients)!

I would visit again if I was in the neighbourhood.

They don’t have parking. You may find parking 300meterd ahead on the street. Check photos.
