Happy Play

Happy Play in North Plains carries a 4.8 Google rating — one of the highest of any indoor play venue in the Portland metro region. Located 25 miles west of Portland in the small rural town of North Plains, it serves the Hillsboro, Banks, and NW Washington County family communities who are looking for quality indoor play without driving into a crowded urban venue.

The facility is open 7 days a week from 9:30AM to 6PM — remarkable consistency that stands out when so many similar venues have limited hours or closed days. That reliability is a genuine quality-of-life improvement for families who want to plan outings without checking a complicated schedule.

Being in a smaller community means Happy Play is rarely as crowded as the comparable Portland venues. For families with young children (the target age is 0-7), a less crowded indoor play space is a meaningfully better experience: kids have more room, parents can actually relax, and the noise level is manageable.

The 4.8 rating with 159 reviews signals a venue that's consistently doing things right — clean facilities, well-maintained equipment, welcoming staff — across a genuine community of regular families. This is the kind of place where you recognize the same families week after week.

Note the remote location: food options in North Plains are minimal. Eat in Hillsboro before the visit or plan to bring snacks.
