About
Junior Playland in Hyattsville serves Maryland's Prince George's County families with an indoor play center focused on the core needs: physical play for kids ages 1-10 in a safe, climate-controlled environment. With 4.3 stars from 138 reviews, it's a solid community resource rather than a destination venue.
The standout practical feature is extended hours. Open until 8-9PM on weekdays (varying by day) and 9PM on Fridays and Saturdays, Junior Playland accommodates working families whose schedules don't allow for 3PM playdates. The Sunday hours are shorter (11AM-7PM), so plan accordingly.
For Prince George's County families in Hyattsville, Cheverly, and surrounding Maryland suburbs, Junior Playland is a convenient local option when rain, extreme heat, or cabin fever requires indoor activity. The location in a shopping center with free parking makes logistics simple.
Birthday party rooms are available for those planning celebrations. Check juniorplaylandpg.com for current pricing and any special event programming before visiting.
