PlayDate SEA

Decided to go on an adventure to visit PlateDate with my 3 year old. While he had a good time and the setup was fun for the kids, the place was noticeably filthy. Dust, dirt, and grime everywhere. Stored items behind the safety netting (located under the slides) was visibly just thrown onto shelves and on the ground. The bathroom was just as gross.

It was okay. Main complaint is that all of the advertisements say $10/child for all day play and I arrived at 3:00pm on a random wednesday in early December and was informed that there was "Holiday Pricing" in effect so it would be $18/child. And the kids had already run off in excitement as it was there first time so couldn't exactly leave without dealing with a tantrum. The place itself is fine... but yeah, I didn't love that surprise and the worker didn't have any explanation for the spike pricing.

I am so happy to have found this indoor play place in Seattle! It’s definitely worth the visit. There is much more hidden play you can’t see from the entrance. They have kids and parents covered. Food, snacks, drinks (alcohol too) and even coffee. One minor recommendation, the poor employees need an intercom system (or some Bluetooth voice volume enhancer!) to make their birthday announcements. It’s nearly impossible to hear them with all of the screaming and maze-like play compartments. :) Great job guys!

This is such a great concept to have in a rainy city! I love the idea and my kids (ages 6, 4, 1) had a wonderful time. It’s big enough that they felt as if they were going on a big adventure on their own, but I could see them the whole time.

The only thing that was a bit of a turn off for me is it was dirty. Not just dusty, that too, but also just felt like they needed to do a big deep clean, in addition to a more thorough daily clean. They did appear short staffed, so that may have contributed to the daily mess, but the deeper cleaning needs to be a priority because it felt gross climbing around in the structures. I totally get some food on the ground and things like this, because kids are messy, but this went far beyond that.

See attached photos of some of the spots I snapped while playing with my kiddos.

What a fantastic place! The play area is super safe and so fun. It's so much quieter, less chaotic and safer than the children's museum tbh.
Autumn was a highlight, she was so kind and made me feel like a person. Highly recommend stopping here just so she could make your day a little better.
Super adorable and the food was pretty good. 10/10

Hidden gem for parents in winter time. I was there for a birthday party and it is quite awesome. Play area looks small but kept my kid busy for more than 2 hours. Birthday room is small so you can’t have lot of people but service was good. Plus there is cafe inside and for that I am giving an extra star.

We decided to have a fun day in Seattle. We started in downtown Seattle and end up in south lake union. It was an easy 20 min walk to get to play date sea. It was clean, the staff was very helpful. This place is a dream place for both kids and parents.
Your kids will spend so much energy that once they get home, all they will need is a shower and a bed. The parents can sit and watch or accompany the kids in the play area.
This company has food and drinks available. Some kid friendly and some just for adults.
We will definitely come.back!
