“We absolutely LOVE this space!! I don’t love all of the open play spaces because some can feel over crowded or the spaces only offer gross motor play (spaces to run, climb, jump, etc). Chelsea Forest Play has something for everyone! We really loved the sensory bins. Everything felt clean and perfectly thought out. We brought our 3 year old and he’s begging to go back already. Next time we will definitely bring our 1 year old also!”
“We absolutely love Chelsea Forest Play. The facility is thoughtfully designed, clean, and developmentally appropriate for little kids and older babies. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. It has been the perfect place for my daughter to explore, play, and grow. Even though I was initially interested in it for winter fun, I know we will visit year round. We just can't get enough!”
“A gorgeous, peaceful play space! Nice for kids and grownups. They’ve truly thought of everything, from coffee for parents to costumes for little ones.”
“Beautiful space! Clearly designed by a mom - the space has everything you’d wish for your little one. I took my daughter to the open play and had a great time. The space is extremely clean with lots of different types of play spaces. Excited to try a class as well. Amazing addition to the neighborhood!”
“My daughter loved it here and did not want to leave! Beautiful clean space and friendly staff. So happy to have it in the neighborhood.”
“Very clean and extremely nice staff. The facility was so cute and every nook and cranny was thoughtfully designed for playtime and exploration.”
“Very child friendly, beautiful, developmentally organized play space. One of the best I’ve seen. I definitely would recommend this one to everyone. Yayyyy finally somewhere clean and fun for my nanny kids to play!”
“It’s an incredible resource for families of young children in Chelsea. Indoor playgrounds are hard to find around here, and we’re lucky that Chelsea Forest Play is so beautifully designed. We come here week after week afterschool and find new things to do and new friends to play with each time.”
