About the Venue

Rochester Play! blends indoor active play with the comfort of a family cafe, making it one of the more linger-friendly indoor play options in the Rochester area. The venue centers around a custom soft-cushioned climbing structure plus a separate toddler area for children under 4, and it backs that up with cafe service, coffee drinks, smoothies, Dippin' Dots, Wi-Fi, memberships, and party packages. It works especially well for sibling families who want kids to move while adults can actually sit for a while.
