stephannie sanchez: This place is amazing for the kids. It’s super safe and the ladie that works in here is super sweet as well

Ashley Henry-Musser: My 15 month old daughter and I visited the PlayUnion yesterday. It is a very baby and toddler friendly space! Something I have not been able to find in the Camberville area. My daughter loves Museums, art and music spaces, but I was looking for something that is safe for her to freely explore and walk around.My daughter was thrilled to play with the plethora of toys and activities! (And so was I!). The owner and her employees are very kind, thoughtful and engaging. I look forward to returning soon.

Blanca G. Ortiz: I love this place, it has a lot of different toys for kids and activities

Angelina Schultz: A fabulous nurturing play space for an urban setting. Debbie is caring and thoughtful, obviously excellent with kids, and runs a clean, well organized space. Highly recommend!

Kayt Norris: We just discovered Play Union and we couldn't be more thrilled. Our son has really enjoyed playing there and our nanny is excited to have another way to keep him busy during the day. Debbie is friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with and the rates/membership pricing is incredibly reasonable and more than worth it!

Jess LeDonne: Great place for our son's 2nd birthday party! Debbie helps with all aspects of party planning, and all of the children and adults had a great time! The space is large enough for very big groups, and there is lots of space to play and mingle. We'll definitely be back to play again - I highly recommend Play Union!

Errick Davis: Clean, colorful, tons of toys

Amy Candice Dolor: Nice clean space with lots of toys!

Paul Russo: Wish we had found this place in the winter! Great idea for parents that live in the city with small apartments. The lady who runs it is a gem. Lots of toys for all ages. Kitchen area for adults. Affordable. What's not to like?

Jocelyn Segal Tarkoff: Clean, well managed play space for your child to explore, create and connect with others. This place is a special spot that unites the community.

Sizer Rosenblatt Family: Play Union is a perfect place for a birthday party if you need/want it to be indoors. They make everything effortless and are wonderful with kids. 5 stars easy.

Babak Cohanim: We had my youngest daughters second and third birthday parties here. Great place to have a toddler birthday party. They take care of nearly everything for you, so it's low stress. There are activities for older siblings to keep them well entertained too.

Gregory Marton: Fun time. Very friendly to newcomers. Thoughtfully arranged. Nice to have a well stocked eating and craft spot.

Daniel Navarro-Gomez: It's a nice indoor playground with all the toys a toddler can imagine

Tim Armstrong: Really great place for a cold or rainy day. Tons of toys that are well maintained. Clean. The lady at the counter was nice.

Lindsay Chretien: We love Play Union! Everyone who works there is so friendly, it feels like a home away from home even though we only go about once a month. We started going when our child was 12 Months, and as he grows, he enjoys it more and more. They are always cleaning the toys, so I don’t feel I need to worry as much about germs. Great toys in a great atmosphere!

Toni Preston: It's a great place to take your child to hang out.

EverydayRuth (Ruthie): Went to a birthday party and my 2 year old loved it!!! There was so much in there for her to play with. It is a smaller area, but it was great! I did not have to worry about my daughter getting hurt or lost. She was able to move around without me constantly chasing after her. She was able to pick and choose what she wanted to play with, play by herself, or with other children. There were a variety of different toys. The place was so clean (besides when kids were playing with the toys), the staff were good at quickly cleaning up areas kids left. The staff were extremely friendly and sweet. I love that you can do drop in play days. I look forward to going in some more times with my kids.

Valentina Doxilly: Really friendly atmosphere the director Debbie superb babies and toddlers will enjoy

TRICIA COLLIER: This is a tough review to write. I usually only write positive reviews. If I have a bad experience somewhere, I like to contact them directly because I feel like everyone can have a bad day and I do not want to hurt a business if that is the case. I went into Allo with my 3 year old grandson so he could play with other children and to see if this may be a place that we could send him on a weekly basis. When I went in there was 1 employee and 1 small child. She came into the climbing room where we were and looked very sad. She said to me "my Mommy is coming back for me". I told her "of course she is". The girl working kept poking her head in. She heard her say it to me. I said to the teacher "where are all the kids?". She said "they went to the park and her mother does not want her to go". This woman seemed annoyed. She would cross her arms and roll her eyes at the little girl. There was no consoling. When the children returned from the park they had lunch and then played. 2 boys were setting up some large wooden tracks (I think thats what they were). 1 of the boys hit my grandson and the other boy in the head with the wood. There were no teachers in this room. At this time, the little girl from earlier was at the lunch table and she was crying. The same teacher stood at the table towering over her with her arms crossed. Again, no consoling just standing there letting her cry. Then the teacher guided her out of the room and made her stand in the lobby area next to the coats and shoes. She just stood there and cried and the teacher went back behind the desk. This was so incredibly sad. Clearly this little girl was having a bad day. Or maybe she is like this every day. I do not know. But this teacher never bent down to her level just stood right over her, arms crossed and did not try to talk to her. I'm sure working with kids is not easy at times, but there needs to be compassion. Maybe this little girl is going through something tough at home. The situation and having to write this is sad, but as a parent I would want to know.

Irene Syrimi: We're new to Boston and wanted our 2,5 year old daughter to engage with other kids and have fun. We found Allo and it's the best that we could have asked for. It's very clean, organized and with lots of toys and activities. We also participated in a class where we sang all together and made some crafts. Definitely enjoyed it, definitely coming back! Thank you all for being so kind and making us feel welcome!

Andrea B. Pagliuca: Great playspace and wonderful staff! Julie was so kind and helpful with engaging my reluctant toddler on our first visit. Now it’s already a favorite destination! 😊

Lulu C: Son’s 4th Birthday was AWESOME!! I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. This place is clean, the decorations and set up was cute and customer service was beyond and above. All the kids had fun and the adults as well. Thank you for this wonderful experience!! 😊

Shana Leap: My son has grown up here and is thriving. Young’s kids are totally welcome here and encouraged to try all the activities the big kids are up to.

Nadia Munson: We had the best 2nd birthday party experience for our daughter at Allo. Shana is the most incredible party host and made everything perfect for us.

Chris Niland: Great place....our kids LOVE it here. Fun way to escape the cold!!

Kaitlin Holzapfel: I had a bad experience here and felt uncomfortable with how the employee on duty handled my daughter’s slight disability. Management reached out to me about it and basically made excuses for the employee. Even if that wasn’t the intention of the employee...it was how I was made to feel. Wouldn’t go back. It’s also overpriced- there are better options in the area.

Natalie Abacherli: We hosted our daughter's first Birthday at Allo and had a wonderful time! Shana and Jocelyn were very accommodating throughout the process. We picked our own theme and Shana crafted some beautiful and unique decorations for our theme. She's thoughtful about how she sets up the space to create a good flow for the party. I also appreciated that they're very environmentally conscious. The play space is vibrant and beautiful- everyone had a wonderful time! I would definitely host a party there again.

Jen Garcin: We are OBSESSED with Allo, we’ve been bringing our one year old since she was about 5 months old. This is the most beautifully thought out space. Our little one has hit all of her milestones here, because there is so much to do, explore, and play with. She started pulling up to stand here, climbing, playing with instruments, etc. The owners are so nice and are having a baby of their own which I love, and all of the staff seem highly trained and are so so sweet. They always remember Eloise and me even if they haven’t seen us in a while or if she’s with her grandparents. It’s also great for socialization and making new kiddo and parent friends and when it’s too hot or too cold to play outside. We are moving cross-country and I am SO sad we won’t have Allo in our lives anymore in a couple of months. We will definitely bring her back when we visit.

Peggy Bier: My husband & I were dropped off @ Allo and spent 2 hours with our 11 month old. We all had a ball. The play space is divided into several rooms that are all clean, imaginative, and a total joy. Eloise was engaged the entire time climbing, crawling all over, playing the drums and engaging with all the tactile objects. The owners clearly love what they do, participate and are available & talking about the new things they’re creating. Allo is a magic al play-space!

Soyeon Kang: The best indoor play space around Boston area! It is very clean and has friendly staffs.

Vanessa Issa: Staff is super sweet, the space is well kept and clean. They are regularly moving things around and adding new activities and toys to keep kids interested and the place looking fresh.

kayla kamolz: Kind staff, peaceful area, very stimulating toys and decoration. Great place for both kids to play, learn and socialize and for new mom's and Dad's to learn parenting skills.

Annie Bernhard: Love this place! Beautiful unique play structures, super clean and filled with natural light, lovely staff.

Jessica Buckley: What a gift to our neighborhood to have an indoor play space. It is thoughtfully laid out with changing elements to keep it interesting and engaging for kids to keep coming to. The owner is an early education educator and is truly wonderful with the kids. She cleans throughout the time and interacts with the kids in a way that promotes community and learning. The space encourages independent play. I watch other kids and my own be engaged for hours on end. They recently added art supplies to one of the rooms for kids. My 19 month old loves the space/toys and will clearly continue to grow with what it has to offer. Thank you for joining our community, Allo!

Alexander Metzger: This place is definitely a step or three above the others we have been to in the Boston area. We loved the variety of active, educational and skill-building options. It is great to have a place that is designed well enough that both our four-year-old and one-year-old could be engaged and explore with minimal help. The kids enjoyed the space for hours and want to go back!The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and were fantastic with the kids. Pricing was very reasonable, considering what they offer. We are definitely booking a themed birthday party for next year!

Monica Leap: Allo is a cheerful and peaceful place for the kids to discover and learn through play. It’s not your average overstimulating bounce house buffet with loud music and screaming packs of kids on a sugar high.They have considered both the developmental needs of the kids and the comfort of parents with all the activities and amenities in the space. They offer themed birthday parties, too. I can’t wait for my kids to try one of those out!Go and be delightfully surprised by this new gem for families with young ones.

Henry Dera: A great playground with lots of street parking. Has swings, slides, rock climbing, a teeter totter, a big wooden ship and lots of activities you wouldn't find at a standard childrens playground.

Matias Ramos: Great and popular playground with a modern design.

Laila Othman: My kids enjoyed playing for more than two hours without nagging🙂

Evan Chan: A lot of money clearly went into this park and it’s got great ideas, but poor consideration around how the different areas interact with one another makes this place a dirty, chaotic mess. The spongy hardtop material forms a nice hill, but the sand next to it makes the sides extremely slippery. It’s very easy for someone to slip and hit their head on any one of the hard elements. It was clumsy enough with the mulch, sand, and spongy hardtop material, but check my picture of when water is added to the mix. Yuck! It seems no thought was given to how the water would be drained, leading to a mulch pond, which is unintentionally appropriate because it is next to a boat-themed climbing area. This park is what you get when you’ve got lots of interesting ideas but don’t spend the time to test how different elements interact with one another. Maintenance of the park is also quite poor, as the spinning wheel is misaligned and gets stuck.

Seraphina: Nice layout, very different than your average playground! Safely closed in as well

Gareth davies: Loved it clean well maintained

Mehul Shah: Nice playground in a fantastic location near/in Harvard Square. A port-a-potty nearby helps with emergency bathroom needs.

Nancee Knierim: Fun place to people and dig watch.

java 58: Unique for a playground

oo-: Very nice playground but beware of slippery mountain covered with sand

Adnan Kagalwalla: Very nice park in the middle of Cambridge. My kids had a great time. It's also near to a bunch of great eateries, so you can grab some treats and head there to enjoy the treats. Recommended.

Jon Beasley: In Cambridge Commons...portalet is thankfully provided adjacent to the playground

Eugen Lounkine: Great big place with so much to explore!

Will Buckley: Really unique playground! Quite fun!

Diane Barber: Kids had a ball

Alemayehu Bekele: This is a great place for kids, especially for kids above 5yrs.

Christine Mitchell: My daughter loves this place not only is the park nice the Surrounding area is also beautiful

Angela Case: Cool playground with lots of climbing situations, slides, sprinklers and unique engineering toys and play things. Has sand and wood chips, is also surrounded by a huge field.

Geraldine G Studio: Wood playground?! Yes! My LO loved it!

Diego Sanchez: Great playground with a wide variety of activities and equipment for kids of all ages.

oo-: Many free toys

François-René Rideau: My kids' first destination.

Laura Jenney: Great playground. Tot lot enclosed and rest is dog friendly. Great climbing structure and fun, shaded splash pad. Kids have had birthday parties here which were great fun

Alex Deery: Small park but has lots of things to do

Sean Effel: Lovely park for kids of lots of ages. The toddler area is fenced in and we'll separated from the basketball court for older kids. Lots of shade here, too.

Lizeth Barraza: One of the best play ground I ever being with my babies, safe and big, sand box, rope climber, splash pad, play ground ,

Wesley Toma-Lee: Cute

Josh Me: I have no idea why we are rating playgrounds, like, as a society maybe we need to reevaluate what we are doing. How the &$*# do you rate a playground, its entirety subjective, 4 stars for being near by, add another for a water feature on a hot day. Subjective and seasonal?Ive seen playground reviews that are 1 star for seeing a rat at midnight, more questions then answers. Basically i dont care at all about how anyone feels about a playground, and i hope that no one else cares about my feelings about a playground, lets be honest, does anyone get any insight from playground reviews?Then what are we doing? Google is turning our world into a dataset, and thats not interesting, also its not how humans experience places. This sort of rating and review system is how computers and very dumb not really artificial intelligence can comprehend a space/place. A map is a limited set of data to make a representation of space, commentary, reviews and ratings are not as one would expect fleshing out the representation but it seems just making the representation more representational. The only use i can think of is to make humans more predictable to an as yet unmade artificial intelligence and to give them something to read once they have bannished us to the asteroid belt to mine ore for our tech overloards. Also why do they ask me if it costs under ten dollers? Trying to change expectations to fit their neo-liberal agenda?Oh yeah, my kid did totally love it, 100% subjectively a fantastic playground.

Jared Brown: It was ight

Alex Wilson: Visited here on 23rd September 2007 with a guy called Randall. Lovely little park, but he seemed to be expecting something that wasn't there.

hi Take: Good playground for toddlers. Especially summer season.

Adam LaChance: My kids love going with Gramma!

Yilkal Bekele: Excellent place for kids playground in Cedar St

Lena P: Nice playground in the shade, with splash pad, sandbox and toys to play. No restroom though.

Amber Bifolck-Fisher: Quiet, shady playground in a residential neighborhood. Great splash pad and toddler area. Unfortunately no restrooms.

Jason Garrabrant: Good sized playground for the area. Has seperate areas for sand and small kids, basketball courts, water feature, swing area, jungle gym and a picnic table area.

RADIZZLE4000: Clean grounds quiet environment, wish there was 2 basketball hoops tho.

Shimon Rura: Well-maintained playground with a great range of activities for kids 1-12. Features a toddler play area with sandbox, swings, and slides; tire swing; big swings; rope bridge & climbing area; basketball court; lawn; and water feature in summers.

Owen Chiu: Great for kids with many interesting and unusual play structures.

Alicia Bella: Beyond the white selection of playground activities there a lot of toys that people leave behind for other kids to enjoy

S Griffin: I give this place high stars because honestly you can’t find a place close by to have a birthday party where you can invite the whole class from school. We had like 22 classmates for my son’s birthday and some brought siblings. You really don’t want more than 25 anyway. The price is very reasonable for that many kids. The biggest problem is that the party room is too small for parents to hang out in so if some could wait in the lobby or drop off it’s better. As the host you should try to keep an eye on the kids even though I know that is hard but some of my parent friends were very helpful. People don’t like the short time but it’s ok. Always get cupcakes because it’s faster and less messy. The two parties I’ve had there the staff were fine for me. I don’t need anything special so what they provided was sufficient. I like that they kind of leave you alone unless you need something. I want to control most things when I’m the host anyway. Thanks to the staff for a nice easy party.

R Buckley: We had our twins birthday party here and it was a real hit! I like the fact that there are two rooms for playing and then a final party room. The party room has all the things you need to set up, which is great. Kids loved it. Our party manager kept us on time and was very cordial. Easy and no fuss, which is my priority when it's a kids party!

Krizia Nilani: All this place is, is a cash cow. As a host and parent I did not appreciate the constant feeling of being rushed. $500 the function room was dirty! The walls were filthy. They didn’t even bother taking the tape off from previous parties. The birthday chair was filthy it looked like it had never been washed down properly if, at all. The kids are also NOT allowed to go back into the bouncy s. 30 mins is all we got in the function room. That’s 30 mins to bring the kids in calm the kids down sit eat and sing happy birthday that’s ridiculous!!! As a working adult a 30 min lunch break isn’t nearly enough for oneself. There’s no time to settle in. This is NOT a great place to enjoy a birthday. Maybe good for a small gathering but not made for a birthday celebration.

Frank Ajosa: I attended my niece's birthday party the second week of November at Jump On In. It usually takes a lot for me to leave a negative review, but unfortunately I'm left without much choice. Besides being filthy, run down and in need of major renovations, my son almost suffered a tragic accident. While waiting patiently on top of a platform, (which was about 4ft high) to jump into the pit of styrofoam blocks, he fell off the platform backwards through a dislodged net held on by tape....Yes tape....luckily he suffered only minor bruising and scratches. We filled out an incident report, took pictures and the owner called us and was extremely apologetic. Something like this should never happen in a place that is suppose to put safety above all.

Chizz “CHIZZO” Magnificent: Nice plàce for the kids.

Krista Gaucher: Spent $700 for this place in between the overly expensive dominos (you should really disclose you use the grossest place as your food source let alone the grossest of the locations I’ve never had grosser food) and play area for a private party. The kids had not finished eating during the allotted time and instead of being a little more accommodating and giving another 10 minutes for them to eat I got told to pack up everyone and the kids can finish eating in the hallway or outside and that if I wanted extra time I should of paid for it. They were 4-6 years old!!! I understand that there was other parties behind me but those kids were playing and I’m sure the families would be ok with getting a few minutes extra play time for the crazy price you have to pay to come here for 1.5 hours. Turn off your sense for strict money wheel and turn on your sense for customer satisfaction. Me and all of the other parents that attended will not be returning.

Variety Channel: Nice place for birthday parties

Badr Tejado: Great fun for kids. We attended a birthday party here and it was well organized. Staff was very helpful.

Danny Quynh Lam Ong: I would give this 4.5 star. Come with a group of kids then lots more fun. With 1 or 2 kids, they wilk run out activities in 30 mins. Not sure why even this bigger than some other places.

Ryan York: Advertising didn’t mention it was for parties exclusively.

Sarah Paydavosi: The most disorganized party I had ever hosted or attended. The party helper was very inexperienced. Keep disappearing. The pizza came 45min late. The party time was over and pizza was not still there. I had to go and follow up with director multiple times. Guests started leaving without cake and pizza. So I decided to go with cake first. I needed knife and to light the candle but the party helper was no where to be found. The director finally came to help. We were in Woburn before and they were very organized. Woburn location would make sure to sanitize kids hands. He even with COVID they didn’t do it. It was such a stressful experience for me. They did not charge pizza cost to make up.

Tony Templa: Too expensive!!! But ok for kids

Maxim Roslyakov: They are not updating their working hours. We've arrived at 9, everything is closed, no door posting. Kids are very disappointed. After checking their website found in the very bottom of the page they today they'll open at 1pm. Why not to update hours on Google maps and post a note on a door?

Erik Hickey: My daughter told me she had to get outta the house today and we ended up here . Very nice people up front, I thought the prices were amazing considering idk how you can beat that.

Lauren Stefano: This place is closed!! As of 11/28/21 I don't want ppl to waste a trip like my family did!!

Leotilde Cherenfant: It was amazing i had so much fun with my family

K L: Better than expected

Kristina Lowe: Such a fun place. My daughter loved it. I was wearing white socks and let me tell you, they didn't get even a little dirty.

Akram Kamrani: غر

Monica Nocedal: Excelllent olace for kids
