Opening Announcement
We're thrilled to announce the opening of our new indoor playground, where adventure meets imagination! At Play Jungle, we provide a fun, jungle-themed play space for kids aged 0-8. For your older children, we have a fun Lego, games, coloring, and more area that they can enjoy!
Inspired by my 18-month-old daughter, who has been my greatest source of joy and motivation, I wanted to create a place where little ones could explore, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. Growing up working in my parents' greenhouse, I've always loved plants, and that love inspired the vibrant jungle theme for our playground.
Personally, I know that if I don’t bring my daughter outside every day, she’ll go a little stir crazy. But with all the rain, that can be hard to do! So, we wanted to bring the outdoors, indoor, as much as we could.
A Jungle of Joyful Play
Our indoor playground features exciting activities like a climbing wall, a ball pit, and imaginary play areas to spark creativity and let kids be kids. We wanted a great combination of gross motor, with the climbing and ball pit, to make sure the kids get all their energy out. At the same time, we wanted costumes, a play kitchen, and a little construction set up so that kids can let their imaginations run wild. The reading area with finger and hand puppets lets them take a break and enjoy a book together with parents in a fun, interactive way.
For the older kids, we have a cozy seating area where they can color, play with Lego, play board games, put together a puzzle, or read a book. The parent’s seating is divided from the play area so that you can easily always see your child, while taking a break and enjoying a complimentary coffee. We're excited about our snack selection too, which is baked locally with fresh, simple ingredients and no preservatives. We also have a merchandise wall there, all sourced from amazing local vendors, for you to shop a bit while your kids play.
We really want parents to be able to relax and visit with each other, because it can be so hard to get that chance as parents! We also understand how important cleanliness is when you have a space where kids are touching everything, and sometimes putting it in their mouths, so we prioritize that by using nontoxic cleaning supplies and cleaning everyday from 12-1pm and after closing.
Why Play Jungle?
Play Jungle is more than just a playground. We have thoughtfully designed every corner of the space to make sure your littles, older kids, and you, all have the best experience possible! Here’s what you can expect:
- Safe, Engaging Activities: Safety is our top priority. Each play area is designed with your child’s safety in mind, giving you peace of mind while they play. Cleaning often, and with natural cleaning products.
- A Jungle Adventure: From the lush greenery in the décor, we want kids to feel excited and transported to the jungle. At the same time, plants always have a way of bringing your mood up and relaxing you.
- Family-Friendly Environment: Parents are welcome to join in on the fun or simply relax while their kids explore and make new friends. This is a great way to socialize for both you and the kids! We have snacks, complimentary coffee, and many games and activities you can do together.

Looking for a special way to celebrate your child’s birthday? Play Jungle offers birthday party packages that are perfect for making your big day truly memorable. It is important to us that you have a private play time for each party, so that is included in all the party packages! Our beautiful arch backdrop and cake stand that is decorated with tropical plants, décor and the personalized name, is also included with a birthday banner for the special event.
We also wanted to make sure that we took as much stress out of the party by offering everything you could need, as available add ons. You can choose to have a 2-layer cake, cupcakes, cake pops, face painter and balloon artist, themed place settings, a party favor package, balloon bundles, photography, and of course food and drinks.
We’re also very excited about our reading class and story time. Anita works full time helping students with their reading, using simple reading exercises and fun activities, and brings many years of experience! We will be offering a level 1 reading class (Grade 1-2) on Fridays from 5:30-6pm for up to 3 kids. We will have our reading time from 6-6:30 on Fridays, bring the whole family, everyone’s welcome. A relaxing way to end the evening, we look forward to seeing you there!
A Dream Realized
Creating Play Jungle has been a dream come true, for me and my daughter. Of course, everyone who has started a business knows how hard it is to do, and there have been lots of challenges. The original plan was to open a full play café, where parents could enjoy a meal, with someone in the play space to watch the children play, but that will be further down the road! Our spot at Highstreet also has no bathroom, and less space than our ideal spot would have, so we had to really limit the number of kids in the play space at a time.
But still, we are so excited to have a new spot for parents and young kids to play! We’d love to hear from you too, and any ideas you have for us.
