Wow! What an awesome indoor children's amusement park and restaurant! Maybe
you've heard of it like me or have been there, but its been awhile. You just have to visit Planet Pizza again! The new owners, a very warm & friendly married couple, have poured their hearts and (thousands of dollars of renovations) into the place! There are a variety of things you can do there! Now that the bigger kids are going back to school, it's a great place to take your younger kids during the day.
For a one-time charge, your kids can play throughout the entire place for the whole day. Or, you can buy tickets for just 1 ride, 5 rides, or 10 rides. If your little ones are too little or afraid to try the rides, they can play in the soft play area with tubes, tunnels, slides, and a ball pit (its all twice the size of any McDonald's play area!) for about $3.00.
Kids ages 12 and under would really enjoy Planet Pizza the most. For the older ones in that age range, they have video games and arcade-type token games. For the parents' entertainment, they will soon have TVs set up to broadcast sports events or you can just bring a book and relax at a table knowing your kids are off playing in a safe environment.
Parents are welcome to ride for free (except on the airplane ride and maybe the teacup ride since they have tiny seats). Some of the rides include Ferrari Bumper Cars, a Pirate Ship, and Roller Coaster (that I loved)!
I haven't even mentioned the pizza yet. It is the cheesiest pizza I have ever tasted! It is SO delicious! My 3 year old ate 3 slices and wanted more before I reminded him that his stomach was small and....we still needed to try the pirate ship ride :)!
And now Planet Pizza has a NEW TOT SPOT softplay area designed for crawlers through age 2 and located just outside the main softplay area away from the bigger kids.
Bench seating surrounds the play area for Moms to sit and chat.
This area features a Little Tikes Tree house perfect for those small crawlers, a Light house with 2 slides for the toddlers and soft blocks to play with. The Tot Spot is included for children 1yr - 2yrs who have a softplay stamp ($3.99) or an Unlimited ride & Softplay stamp ($5.99 ). It's Free for those under 1yr who crawl or toddle.
The last, but not least, service they provide is birthday parties! For very reasonable prices they offer a variety of packages. From $73.00 and up, you could choose to have unlimited access to the play area and rides, with drinks, your cake, and a gift for the birthday child....all the way up to a party where you would just bring the cake and birthday child! They would provide the pizza, drinks, ice cream, napkins, etc., t-shirt for the birthday child, and unlimited access to the whole place! You'll need to check their website for a variety of other specials they have (like group rates, etc.).
It would be an awesome place to bring a sports team or preschool group or even your playgroup! It will all make you want to be a kid again!
Remember to take your Planet Pizza coupon with you!
