Edinborough Park — Attraction in Edina

Edinborough Park is a fairly large indoor play space with two areas of activities for children to enjoy. I'd say it's mostly-recommended for children ten years old...or...younger. Adults are admitted free with paid children's admissions [which are under ten dollars apiece] so...it's an affordable way to have fun...while getting some exercise. One area is a large open recreational room. There are many different small bikes to ride...hula hoops...basketball hoops/balls...and also...a bouncy house. The other main play area is a humongous enclosed play structure several stories high. There are activities along the bottom for very small children/toddlers too who can't actually climb up into the structure. Edinborough is also unique in that it's a shared-space. Besides the play structure...there is also a senior citizen residential community with indoor balconies overlooking the park area. There is a small theater...a little cafe that is open to coincide with the park hours [there are also several picnic tables in case you bring your own food]...a swimming pool which is separate from the playpark admission...and...it is also connected via indoor walkway to a hotel. Ample free parking is available too. The general atmosphere is very relaxed...with the feeling that you are outside in a park-type setting. It usually doesn't get too crowded but...we typically go a little later in the evening as it's more quiet than earlier hours. Make sure you bring a pair of socks along as shoes are not permitted in most areas. We have been here many times...and...always had a lot of fun. It definitely serves a...

Awesome place to go to wear your little one out. Our kiddo started to really enjoy it after he was about 2 1/2. There's one section with the "treehouse", which is essentially a giant play structure with the walls all netted in to keep the kids safe and everything in it is heavily padded. You can also climb up there with your child, but keep in mind if you do, you'll do lots of crawling, so anticipate sore knees if you spend some time chasing your kid around. Otherwise, there are several rows of benches to watch the kids go nuts at this place.

The other section is essentially an open gym with padded flooring and a bouncy castle in the corner. There are "scooters" that are pedaled with your arms. There are also three-wheelers (similar to a tricycle, except seated lower to the ground), but unfortunately there are only two, so there's usually kids waiting to get on one and sometimes a brief fight can break out to "reclaim" the three-wheeler or make claim to one.

Regardless, this is an excellent place to go if you're stuck indoors at home and your kid is getting stir-crazy. Or a great place to meet friends with kids of similar ages. If your kid is 2 1/2 or older, it's likely he or she will want to stay there all day (at least in our...

My son turned 6 this month and he asked to have a birthday party and celebrate with his friends, so I thought why not? If it were the summer time, I would have easily had the party outdoors at a park so I was limited with indoor choices. My husband asked his work colleagues for recommendations and someone mentioned this place. Our boys used to go to daycare there and I remembered the big playground. Booking the place is very easy, you just do it online and closer to the date the venue coordinator contacts you to confirm extra details for the party. It's all very well organised and the tables for seating were set up beautifully. You can bring in your own food and drinks, no alcohol but that's no biggie as it's a kid's party and no balloons or confetti, which is understandable as that can get messy. What I didn't realise was how busy the venue can be during the weekends. It was completely open to the public but there were also multiple birthday parties running at the same time! It was overwhelmingly busy!! Kids had a great time but you had to keep track of them. It was like being at a theme park. It is a great venue but if you plan to have a pretty chilled, small and low key party, I wouldn't recommend this venue. Especially on...
