Editor's Take

A very useful free option for toddlers and younger elementary kids, especially if weekday morning play fits your schedule.

About the Venue

Play Zone at Calvary Church is one of Springfield's best free indoor play options for younger kids. The space includes two slides, a tangle tube maze, a power ball room, roller squeezes, a toddler area, and an interactive Eyeplay system inside a compact, supervised environment. Public open play is limited to a few weekly windows, so it works best for families who plan around the schedule and want an affordable energy-burner.
