What parents say
"We LOVE Looma Space! Finally a place where parents can go relax while kids play. I usually order myself a coffee and watch my son drain energy like crazy. They also have really good food! Last time I was there I noticed they also had beer and wine. Such a great idea! Usually these play areas you can’t even have water inside. See you soon Looma!"

"My absolute favourite place to take my 2yr old daughter- she plays for hours by herself and loves the variety of toys. I really appreciate the effort, creativity and design aesthetic that has gone into this space- so many beautiful touches. Staff are so kind and food is actually really good! So thankful to Looma and looking forward to our next visit :)"

"I adore this place! I set play dates here all the time for my little one. It’s so clean and they keep the area well maintained. Everyone must take off their shoes when entering and there are little cubbies for your shoes. The Cafe is actually really good! I always try something new at the cafe like affogato cafe or peach tea! They have many options for adults and kiddos! Their ball pit is cleaned regularly which I love they have a dress up area in the corner for little kids to play pretend. They have a pretend doctor’s office, pretend kitchen, pretend everything you can think of. It’s really"
