Open Play FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your Open Play visit. Still have questions? Give us a call at (908) 428-8141.

What do I need to know before my first Open Play visit? β–Ό

Open Play is for kids ages 1–12, with everything from a dedicated toddler area to 7 full play zones for bigger kids. A few quick things: every adult needs a signed waiver (do it online before you come to skip the line), kids need non-slip grip socks, and on weekends you'll want to book ahead β€” those slots fill fast. Then just show up ready to blast off. πŸš€

Do I need a reservation, or can I just walk in? β–Ό

Weekdays (Tue–Fri), walk-ins are always welcome β€” no reservation needed. Weekends (Sat & Sun) require a reservation since they fill quickly. You can book any session online in a couple of taps.

What's your cancellation and refund policy? β–Ό

All reservations are fully refundable as long as you let us know at least 1 hour before your session start time β€” we'll issue it as store credit in the form of a gift card. No-shows are non-refundable.

Heads up: your session starts at your reserved time, not when you arrive, so plan to get here a little early to make the most of your 2 hours.

How much does Open Play cost? β–Ό

One price covers 1 child + their grown-up(s) β€” no hidden fees.

  • Weekday (Tue–Fri): $20 +tax per child (includes up to 2 adults)
  • Weekend (Sat–Sun): $25 +tax per child (includes 1 adult)
  • Additional siblings save $5 each ($15 weekdays, $20 weekends)
  • Kids under 2 play free with a paid sibling

Here often? Memberships and multi-session passes bring the per-visit cost way down.

How long is a play session? β–Ό

Sessions are 2 hours. On weekdays when we're not at capacity, we keep it relaxed β€” no one's rushing you out the door. On busy weekends we hold to the 2-hour window so every family gets a turn.

Can we leave and come back during our session? β–Ό

If you need to run out to the car for something you forgot, you're welcome to step out and come right back. Just remember your 2-hour session keeps running while you're out β€” so don't go far!

Do adults have to pay? β–Ό

Your child's admission already includes their grown-up(s) β€” up to 2 adults on weekdays and 1 on weekends. Each additional adult is $10 +tax. Every adult who joins takes up space that could go to another child, so we ask that anyone coming in is there to participate in the play. And don't forget β€” every adult needs a signed waiver on file.

What's the deal with socks? β–Ό

Non-slip grip socks are required for all kids β€” any brand works. Forgot a pair? We sell them at the front desk for $3 +tax. Adults, please keep socks on inside the play areas too.

What should we wear, and where do we put our belongings? β–Ό

Dress your kiddo in comfy clothes they can move and climb in, plus their non-slip grip socks. Please leave jewelry, AirPods, and similar accessories at home β€” small things tend to get lost during all the action.

For your stuff, we've got cubbies and beach bags to stash shoes, coats, and bags while you play.

Can I bring my own snacks and drinks? β–Ό

Yes! Outside snacks and drinks are welcome in our seating area β€” pack your kids' favorites. We just ask that no food or drinks go inside the play zones to keep them clean and safe for everyone.

Do you sell any drinks or snacks? β–Ό

You're always welcome to bring your own β€” but if you forget, we've got you. We sell chilled drinks: Honest Juice, Gatorade, and water for the kids, plus regular Coke and Diet Coke for the grown-ups.

Can I drop my child off? β–Ό

Open Play is not a drop-off β€” a parent or guardian stays and supervises throughout the visit. (Looking for drop-off-style time? Ask us about field trips and group bookings.)

Can someone other than a parent bring my child? β–Ό

Absolutely β€” any adult can bring your child, whether it's a grandparent, the cool uncle, a nanny, or a babysitter. They just need a signed waiver on file and to stay and supervise during the visit.

What if my child isn't fully potty-trained? β–Ό

If you've got a diaper-wearing hero, please check their diaper a few times during your visit to avoid any incidents. Kids who aren't fully potty-trained should be in diapers while they play.

Need to do a quick change? We have 2 changing stations β€” one in each bathroom β€” stocked with diaper bags and linens for your convenience.

A cleaning fee applies if there's an accident without a diaper or from an overflow β€” it helps us keep the zones spotless for the next crew.
What if my child is feeling sick? β–Ό

Please keep your little one home if they've shown signs of fever, vomiting, or a pronounced cough. If you have a reservation, just let us know β€” we'll gladly issue a credit so you can come play another day.

How do I know everything's clean? β–Ό

We tidy and sanitize daily, and every few hours on high-traffic days. Once a week we do a full deep clean β€” including washing the ball pit (we posted how we do it on our Instagram!). We use Force of Nature to knock out germs while keeping things safe for even the littlest astronauts.

What about strollers? β–Ό

Indoor space is limited and strollers aren't allowed in the play area. If you're bringing a little one, the bassinet attachment is the easiest thing to carry in.

Do you host birthday parties? β–Ό

We sure do β€” space-themed parties with a dedicated host and zero cleanup for you. Check out our party packages.

What's this Membership thing? β–Ό

We offer both memberships and multi-session passes that drop your per-visit cost well below the walk-in rate β€” perfect if you're here more than a couple times a month. Browse the options in the Play & Pricing menu up top.

Where are you located, and is there parking? β–Ό

We're at 315 Roycefield Road, Suite 123, Hillsborough, NJ β€” look for the Pickleball Kingdom sign; we're on the inside corner of the L-shaped building. Parking is free and shared with the other businesses in the plaza.

Do you sell gift cards? β–Ό

Yes! You'll find gift cards in the Play & Pricing menu at the top of the page β€” they make a stellar birthday or holiday gift. 🎁
