About the Venue

Play Date Social @ Ned's Nest is a restaurant-connected play concept inside Ned’s New England Deck in Fairfax. Families book 90-minute Play & Dine sessions that include access to the upstairs play space plus a food and beverage credit, making it more of a planned outing than a drop-in playground. It works best for babies through preschoolers and for caregivers who want a meal built into the visit.
