About
Down to Play is an indoor playground in Dallas. The recommended fit is 6 months-6 years. Save it for hot, cold, or rainy weather. The equipment, scale, and safety are calibrated for very young children, and parents feel comfortable letting their toddler explore freely without older kids bowling them over.
A typical visit lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. For a family of four, the planning estimate is ~$15 to $20 per child for open play sessions. Affordable for what's offered. Adults typically free or minimal charge.
Timing guidance: Weekday open play mornings; check the schedule as sessions have set times. Wait guidance: Book open play sessions in advance, capacity is limited for safety. Nearby food guidance: Lakewood has excellent dining on Gaston Ave and Northwest Hwy. Lakewood Shopping Center nearby has casual family options.
This is specifically for ages 6 months, 6 years, older children are not admitted to keep the environment safe for toddlers.
