In fact, it's been my dream for a while to open one right here in Arlington! (Feel free to send me your favorite spots that we need in town!)
It seems the past five years have brought loads and loads of awesome indoor play spots for kids in Tarrant County. From fun ball pits like the ones we grew up with to imaginative play spaces where kids can be vets, doctors, grocers and more, kids "museums" are so abundant now that parents of littles can pick what fits best for their kiddos!
Here is the Everything Arlington Round Up of the best best indoor play spaces in Tarrant County (and a few in Dallas!).
(Please note- the age recommendations on these spots are from our own personal opinions based on our experiences, and NOT the age limitations set forth by the place of business.)
Fort Worth:
The Happy Lark
Located near Hulen Mall, The Happy Lark is a playspace and kids' shop all in one. Shop for ultra modern kids clothes and toys, grab a coffee and let your little one run around! The playspace is a large, open room with lots of wooden toys and space for littles to roam.
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 5 and younger.
Play Studio Fort Worth
This new play area has both indoor and outdoor areas for kids to roam and explore. Parents can enjoy free coffee (and kids free juice boxes!) while kids paint, play, create and explore. We recently hosted a birthday party here and everyone loved it!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 8 and younger.
Celebrations Fort Worth
This is the spot to bring your kiddos who have lots of energy and a need to roam! My kids go gaga for the "race track," a circular track where kiddos can ride Little Tikes Coupes and similar "vehicles" around until their heads spin! There is lots of room to roam, explore and play. Celebrations has an air hockey table, bounce house and more! Plus picnic tables, so pack a snack!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 8 and younger.
Play Street Museum Fort Worth
Play Street Museum is the interactive, clean, modern play space of your dreams! With locations all over DFW, PSM is the perfect place to meet friends (bring your own coffee- outside drinks are encouraged!) for a fun, relaxing play date with young kids. Even better- the FW locations has story time every Tuesday at 11 am included with admission!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 7 and younger.
The Happy Lab
Your childhood called. It is super envious that your kiddos get to experience this amazing ball pit and you didn't! Seriously. This spot just opened last month and is already going to be a spot your kids ask to go back to. Because ball pit.
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 6 and younger.
Peek N Play
Peek N Play, located by Grapevine Mills Mall, is the indoor play area that entertains all three of my kiddos! It has two levels for play, with the upstairs portion hosting LEGO play and books for older children. Downstairs you'll find a ball pit and slide, area for coloring and so much more! There is also a spot for parents to sit and access the WiFi and beverages for purchase.
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 10 and younger.
Greater DFW
The Kids Play Co. (Richardson)
This great spot has tons of "store fronts" that allow kids to imagine and create. My girls love the stationary bike turnstyle in the middle of the play space... And I love that they love it! Parents can sit and socialize while kids safely play. This spot hosts lots of fun activities, as well. Check the Website for more info!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 7 and younger.
The Coop Frisco (Frisco)
The large ball pit and slide combo at The Coop will have your kids playing for hours, I promise! A large seating area for parents makes this place the best of both worlds for parents and kiddos.
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 8 and younger.
Jungle Joe's (Frisco)
Grab a sandwich and a seat at this play area with attached cafe. Kids can climb around and break for food as needed!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 8 and younger.
Camp Dallas (Walnut Hill & 75)
This fun new spot is a toy store and ice cream parlor that encourages kids to play! Test out toys, sign up for a craft, enjoy a free snack and shop for birthday presents all in one place!
The EA crew recommends this spot for kiddos 5 and younger.

We were so sad to learn that Small World Big Imagination in Southlake shut down over the summer!
