Happy Birthday @ Stay and Play

We recently spent a fun morning and Birthday party at Stay and Play in Old Saybrook. I mentioned this place before and I finally got the opportunity to take some photos. When you enter the main double doors, to your left are open closets and cubbies for jackets and shoes. Straight ahead is the check-in desk that is a shared area to the cafe corner.

When you pass the child safety gate that separates the foyer entrance to the play area, you are greeted by this huge indoor playscape. To the left of the playscape is the gated play area for crawlers (not shown). In the first photo is a peek of the education toy store, just behind the playscape and the crawlers play area. The second photo is the right side of the playscape and center of the building.



The next photo shows the opposite side of the playscape (making it the right side of the building when you enter). Here is the fun schoolbus cafe (it’s a real bus!) with tables and chairs inside for eating. Here, kids also pretend to be the bus driver and take turns at the steering wheel. There is also cafe seating around the bus. Here’s a glimpse of the cafe that offers healthy snacks and drinks, as well as lunchtime sandwiches and wraps.

This next photo is take from the center of the room looking farther to the rear of the building. Note the ample adult lounge seating (how comfortable!). The Birthday space is behind the room separators on the left. The spacious restrooms are to the right. My kids enjoy moving the oversized shapes and stairs to make obstacle courses and forts.

This last photo is taken from the back of the building, looking toward the front. You will see both the cafe (left), but the crawlers area is hidden behind the playscape.

It was a great time for the facility was clean, spacious, had an open floorplan for ease of supervising, and comfortable (there were more than half a dozen loveseats). We enjoyed playing, snacking and celebrating, and playing again afterwards!
