Mad Hatter Play Cafe

First time here, wanted to check since I was referred here by a dear friend. We had fun hanging out. It’s a well thought of place. They serve snacks and drinks. There are places for parents to sit and change their devices. Overall great experience!

This place is overall really nice, I really appreciated the changing station being next to the soft play area. The only downed aspect for me was the stroller. I had such a hard time first I got there and I realized that the place was on the second floor, and then there was an elevator which we couldn’t get the stroller in, parking was a little confusing but overall once we were inside, we really enjoy our time. I will recommend if you have small children plan your visit and make sure that you leave your stroller in the car cause the space to put the stroller downstairs It’s also kind of small.

Very cute spot, Its great for rainy days when you can't take your kid to the park. The space is clean and I like the toy variety. There's a play area for under 7 year olds and an area for under 2 year olds. This has no bearing on the review of the place, but I have become more reluctant to go with my 1 year old because there are some parents who do not supervise their children like they should. I think because its a cafe atmosphere, parents are more relaxed, socializing or doing work, and not watching their kids when they are playing. This is made worse by the variety of age groups in one place. I would still recommend this place overall, but keep this in mind when going.

My son absolutely loved this place ^_^ it’s about a 40min drive from where we live BUT would definitely come here again ^_^ staff is friendly ^_^ I can see my son from basically any seat while I have my coffee. There is a smaller area for kids under 2yrs old which I truly think is awesome. The bigger area for the older kids is hectic but fun. Lots of ride on cars, pretend food, blocks and so many different toys. Only thing that I wasn’t a fan of was how messy everything got 🤣😂🤣 I guess I’m use to the children’s museum where there is more staff picking things up throughout the day. But overall I do recommend.

Mad Hatter Play Cafe is an iconic Centralia institution. I love that the children's play area has a small city with local businesses. The coffee is great and the owner is super nice. They thought of everything, so give yourself and your kids a break and come support Mad Hatter!
