Little Diggers — Local services in Fairview Park

We visited for the first time today and had a great experience! It is clean, open spaced and decently priced. There was a large variety of trucks, blocks, rocks, sand buckets and shovels with plenty for all kids. There was lots of seating other than on the sides of the sandpit too (bench seats and tables).

We paid for 2 hours of play. I was talking with another parent about how do they check when your time is up? Right then, that parent received a text with a 10 minute notice until their end time. We both thought this was very convenient along with the option to add more play time right through a link on that same text sent to your phone! This way you don’t have to leave your child and go to the front to add more time.

It started to get pretty crowded by 10:30/11am. The sandbox doesn’t seem too overcrowded with kids in it, but the place overall felt more crowded because of all of the adults.

I like that they have set rules however as always, there are children who aren’t attended to / watched as they should be and throw sand when digging or just because they’re kids. There were also kids doing flips and cartwheels in the sandbox with lots of other children around which I don’t think is safe nor appropriate. It seemed like there was only 1 person working at the front desk and she was also trying to brush off sand/clean when she wasn’t busy at the front desk. I do think it would be beneficial to have another employee to be consistently near the sand pit to clean up as well and remind parents / children of the rules and just be there to oversee things.

I only saw 1 family bathroom here but saw another review stating there is 2. I would just take this into consideration with young children who often need to get to the bathroom quickly, there may be a wait for the bathroom. We only needed to wash our hands but had to wait for that. Just something to be prepared for!

Overall this place is great and different than anything else indoors for children’s play in this area! I would absolutely consider having a birthday party here and we will definitely be back again.

I did realize that I wasn’t offered a punch card for our visit today and to use with future visits to earn a free hour of play, but I’m hoping we can visit next time and add todays visit once they see it in...

My 5 YO had a blast here. It’s a bit expensive for what it is, but it kept my son busy the entire time. To me, it was worth the price to be able to have a bit of time to talk to other adults and my son have fun at the same time. It’s in a nice shopping area, so it can help break up a day of errands and give the kids a chance to get some energy out between stores. There is also a Five Below and a Crumbl nearby, which are usually hits with little kids. The staff were all very nice and regularly tidied up. There are reasonably priced kid friendly snacks and drinks, two bathrooms with a changing table, and they have a rewards card. The hats to keep sand out of hair run a bit small but they’re only $2. All of the toys were in nice condition, many were Tonka. They send you a text 10 minutes before your time is out with an option to add more time for just $5 and you can use Apple Pay—how easy it was is a huge plus to me. They have 2 party rooms that looked super cute. Only two minor negative things worth considering… It seems like they have a system to help reduce the dust in the air, but be aware that might be an issue for you—I did have an issue with my allergies later. Also, I found the area VERY cold, but it’s an open area and I imagine heating it is very difficult. These are just two minor inconveniences though and don’t outweigh the positives at all, just plan ahead. Overall a great place, especially during the...

Visited for the first time today with 3 boys ages 3-6, and they all had a blast. We purchased the hour pass and will probably spend two hours next time. I think the price is reasonable, at least compared to some of the other indoor playgrounds, and this one is quite unique. They don’t wear out as much as if they were running around, but they get to be creative with all the different toys (of which there are a ton).

We visited in the afternoon (on an Sunday) after reading the FAQ that state it is less busy after 1pm. There were a lot of kids there but it didn’t feel “busy” and there was plenty of room for everyone. They also have a couple of party rooms which looked very cute!

It was very clean. I read all about how the clean the sand on the website and o was still surprised at how clean it was. Seriously, the only thing we came across was a few stray hairs in the sand. The employees also regularly came around and brushed the sand off the bench that surrounds the sandbox.

One thing I will mention is that the website mentions they offer coffee in several flavors, cold and hot. They only had cold brew from a tap that I saw, and it was only original and vanilla latte flavored. With that said, I had the vanilla latte and it was actually better than I expected. They also have assorted snacks available for a reasonable price.

We will definitely...
