Navigating play places with small kiddos can be dauntingā¦not here! Today was our first time there and Iām currently 40 weeks + 1 day pregnant with 2 under 4 and they needed to get some wiggles out.
Check-in was seamless and I was immediately put at ease seeing the equipment and how much padding and soft toys there were that were friendly enough for my 1.5 year old to run around with her bigger sister. Everything is in easy eyesight to keep track of multiple kiddos at the same time. I didnāt feel like I constantly had to rescue them while they were playing because there wasnāt anything too perilous to try out. It wasnāt overcrowded with too many kids because you reserve time blocks and they have capacities. The play area is made for kids specifically in the 0-6 age bracket so I wasnāt worried about a rogue 10 year old smashing into my toddler.
Highly highly recommend for any parents with young kiddos! My two tips would be to make sure you bring grippy socks so thereās no slipping on the tile (I believe they also sell some there) and if youāre solo parenting or canāt bring an adult wingman - caffeinate before you go because drinks are on the outside of the play space and your young kiddos wonāt wanna wait for you to drink your drink to play haha. I was able to get a snack/drink break after about an hour or so which was great, but something Iāll keep in mind for next time if Iām going alone in the morning.
Thanks to the Bonkerz team for a great experience and a safe space for the youngins to play! Gives me so much less anxiety than most open...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWell, let me tell ya, as a parent of four lively youngāuns, finding a place like Bonkerz Indoor Play Cafe here in Wenatchee feels like hittinā the jackpot.
This place is downright brilliant! Itās like theyāve thought of everything for us parents who just need a moment to sip a hot cup of coffee while the kids are safe and havinā a ball.
The whole setup is fantastic. The play area is padded, super well-lit, and you can see your kids wherever they areāno blind spots at all. I watched āem clean every nook and cranny while I was there, and let me tell ya, theyāre on top of their game. Itās clear that safety and cleanliness are top priorities.
What I really love is how much fun the little ones can have. Thereās all kinds of stuff to keep āem entertainedāclimbing, pretend play, you name itāand itās all designed for kiddos up to six years old.
Meanwhile, we grown-ups get to sit back in their comfy cafĆ© area with plenty of seating, enjoy a cup of coffee, and maybe even plug in our phones or laptops if we need to. Itās perfect!
Theyāve got flexible options for families too, like single play passes or monthly memberships if youāre a regular, plus bundles for those of us with more than one kid who love a good deal.
I just canāt say enough about how glad I am to have Bonkerz here in town. Itās the kind of place that makes you feel welcome, lets the kids burn off some energy, and gives parents a little breather. If yāall havenāt been yet, go check it out. Youāll leave happier than a kitten with a...
   Read moreMy son absolutely loves Bonkerz! I know they just opened, so I will be updating my review when / if needed. The play area is great, I just wish there was more color to the equipment and toys. My son won't stop saying "the grass is grey and dirty" 𤣠but he's two. the cafe does lack a lot of food items for both adults and young children. I know they are working on expanding their food soon though. We are loving the indoor play area though. This town definitely needed it . We did get a play pass so it's nice they offer a discount when...
