About
Joyful Palace on Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood, Queens (at the Brooklyn-Queens border) is a neighborhood indoor playground that has built genuine community trust over time — 604 Google reviews with a 4.5-star rating is substantial for a neighborhood-scale venue and reflects consistent satisfaction from local families.
The facility provides indoor play structures appropriate for children ages 1-10, serving the diverse Ridgewood community — a neighborhood with Central American (primarily Guatemalan and Salvadoran), Eastern European (Polish, Romanian), and increasingly artist/young professional communities co-existing along Myrtle Avenue.
For families on the Brooklyn-Queens border who want a neighborhood indoor play option without traveling to larger venues in Flushing or central Brooklyn, Joyful Palace fills that role consistently. The active hours and community-focused atmosphere mean children often encounter familiar neighborhood peers.
