6 months agoWe went for open play with my daughter and her best friend. We had a WONDERFUL time. Truly worth the very inexpensive price plus it’s all day play, no time limit. You run out to eat and come back with your armbands. And the staff was absolutely the best. Might I add it was a Saturday in the middle of the day and it wasn’t so busy you couldn’t move. I also appreciate the kids playing didn’t cuss or act ugly. It was just an all around great experience for our family. We have gone to other places in Birmingham to some sad results. But Let’s Play is truly a gem!! Thanks to everyone who made this enjoyable!!

3 months agoJan 25, 2025: AWESOME PLACE! Safe, affordable, clean, and fun! Important note: The pictures currently available are totally different than the current layout, it's MUCH cooler! My wife and I went here today with our toddler and our 11 year old nephew. 2 adults and one toddler would've been $25, but 1 adult 1 child was $17 or so each (and they had a tip option on the screen? Maybe because it's in a fancy area?)

a month agoUpon our arrival I noticed that there was a school there for a field trip. I bought tickets online the night before, so we made our way in anyway. The staff was helpful, but not super friendly. Once we got into the play area it was chaotic. The kids from the field trip were not being supervised and they ran all over my 2 year old in the toddler section. This section is meant for smaller kids, but no one was enforcing it. I had to block her several times from being pushed over. At that point I was ready to leave, but they called the field trip group to lunch. The moment that happened the entire play area was much more enjoyable. Once the field trip group left she was able to venture out and play with her older brother and the other kids. We spent about 4 hours there, and while the beginning of our visit was not desirable we ended up having a great time. The space was much larger than the Hoover location. There is a lot to do, and it looks like it has been recently updated. It was hard to pull them away to leave, so I know they had a great time! They do not have food on-site like the Hoover location, so if you want pizza you have to wait 2 hours for it to be delivered from Papa Johns. There is also a minimum order amount, and you can only get a large pizza. We opted to just get snacks instead. My biggest issue was the lack of supervision from the field trip group. Parents and school staff were not watching the kids, and this caused issues for my youngest. I understand employees of Lets Play may be limited, but I never saw one staff member leave the checkout area the entire time. At the Hoover location staff was present in the play areas and were sanitizing as needed. All in all, my kids had fun, but I was stressed in the beginning. While it had more to do than the Hoover location, I think the staff at the other location was more friendly and involved than at this one. I highly advise to not go when a field trip is there.
