Bumblebee Play Cafe is truly a one-of-a-kind indoor play center for children, sure to keep the kids entertained for hours.

You can find the Cafe on Randall Road, which is about two minutes off of the 90 highway. Once you arrive, there is a large parking lot so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot. They also offer bike parking if you live nearby and are looking to bike over. Also, the facility is wheelchair and stroller accessible so there is no need to worry about transporting accommodations. They charge $12 for visiting children and $10 per additional child.

Inside of the building, they feature large playrooms with activities and features for kids of every age and enough space to spread out. However, on rainy weekends it gets busiest as everyone will come to enjoy all the Cafe has to offer. There are six different smaller party rooms for large groups who want to come for celebrations or to book a room for larger parties. Although, you should know ahead of time that you cannot bring in your own snacks and food to the Bumblebee Play Cafe, except for cake/cupcakes/etc. for parties and celebrations. The staff here is very friendly and welcoming to everyone upon arrival, and very helpful overall. They offer an assortment of different large rooms with cool jumping obstacles and bounce toys to entertain the kids for a while. Everything is kept very clean and organized, despite the heavy traffic, and the obstacles are all very safe for children of all ages. They have air hockey equipment as well. In case of any bathroom emergencies, they also have a very clean and modern restroom that is available for use. If you plan on sitting and just watching all the different things the kids can play with, there are great comfy leather couches to lounge on and enjoy the free WiFi while the little ones play. 

If you get hungry, there is the actual cafe that they offer inside with a large number of menu options, including many different healthy foods. They also include a coffee bar with excellently prepared coffee beverages, and all the food can be made for take out. You should know that the cafe pricing is a little on the higher end, but the whole experience is well worth the expense! While you are here, be sure to grab a bargain card to get your visit marked off for future discounts.
