About the Venue

Columbia Center Play Area is a free indoor amenity inside Columbia Center rather than a staffed, ticketed play business. It is best used as a quick indoor energy break for toddlers and preschoolers while you're already at the mall, with padded climbing features, crawl spaces, interactive elements, and lounge-style seating nearby for caregivers. Families who want a no-cost play stop between errands will likely find it more useful than those looking for a half-day destination outing.
