Momi Land Polaris — Attraction in Orange Township

This was my first time at this specific location and here’s my review!

Pros: my 2 year old had a blast! She loved the horse carousel, the trampoline, the slides with the ball pit, the little kitchen room with food items/oven/register ect. She could stay for hours, but we had to leave for nap time 😴

Cons: NO OUTSIDE FOOD… I know not a big deal for some, but for me it was. Obviously my child is going to get hungry after running around for an hour+… so we brought McDonalds. It was lunchtime. To get there and see signs plastered everywhere no outside food. But you can have “snacks” or purchase a snack from there. Idk about you but a bag of chips is not gonna keep my daughter full and happy so she can play. So I thought that was a silly rule. Now I know for next time obviously, but in the moment that was silly. Were they expecting me to throw it away…? I think not lol so I snuck her bites here and there. I just want to know how it’s different than someone renting out the party room and bringing their own food. That’s allowed apparently.

Another CON was the music. Appropriate maybe for middle schoolers and older… but obviously not little children. They should be playing something like kids bop. I know it’s for the sake of the employees who just sit at the front on their phones, but I don’t think 5 years old need to hear lyrics about “can’t keep my hands to myself” lol

Overall it’s worth a visit back. Next time I’ll feed my daughter before we come, don’t forget the socks if you already have them.

Also you have to purchase socks for $3 after tax. You have to use their specific socks. Understandable since they have the grippy on the bottoms, but inconvenient if you forget them the next time you come and you have to purchase them again. I feel like they should be free if you happen to...

This was my first time at a Momi Land or anything like this! It has a separate area for kids under 24 months, which I love.

There are 6 benches scattered around for parents, but all of them are on the backside of the building - near the play kitchen, climbing wall, and trampolines. The large ball pit, climbing structure, and slides area doesn't have any seating for adults so we usually sat along the padded wall. It might be nice to have a couple of benches along that ball pit.

There are ride-on toys as well as climbing areas. There are also several hand sanitizer stations, really appreciated.

So what didn't I like? There are signs with rules everywhere, but nobody is enforcing them. I guess the parents are supposed to, but when the parents don't enforce them? Thankfully, all the parents were on top of things today.

Given this entire space is designed for younger kids (under 8), there are a lot of written signs. Like a "please don't touch" sign on a light switch within kids reach...maybe a plastic case to block it off would be better?

There was at least one area of safety netting that had come loose on the climbing structure, there was some attempt at repairing it, but it needed some more attention. I hope to see it has been repaired soon. It certainly wasn't a glaring safety hazard, it just wasn't as safe as it could be.

The space was relatively clean, but it could have been better, it also could have been so much worse given winter weather and...

This facility is newer and is bright and well laid out and fairly spacious. I like that this is a 'playplace' more than a 'play cafe' as the parents are forced to keep an eye on their children more. There is a nice break area for nursing moms to feed your child a snack or if you just need a ..well break. There's enough to do to keep any toddler busy with slides, ball pits, grocery store/kitchen play area, climbing toys and more. There's a nice separate padded area for crawlers and/or new walkers away from the bigger kiddos which is a bonus. Get there early on a Saturday by noon the place was busy but we were ready to head out by then. I'm not sure if you leave if you can get back in or not but worth asking if you need to run an errand or give your kiddo a nap but wanted to come back. The only reason I knocked off a star is because of price. For children under 2 its $10 and over 2 $15. I'd say $10 is not bad but $15 is kind of steep and well I suppose that's where they want you to get a membership. If you have 3 or more kids this fun place can get pricey. Also they charge $2 for trampoline socks which they do mention (its buried on their website) but not with the admission fees which I think they should put it. Momiland got it right and if you havent been yet well you should...
