Great place for the kids to get their energy out! There are so many activities and toys, even a slide. I was amazed to see my 13 month old granddaughter climb the little steps by herself! Also, membership are on sake right now! 🥰

It’s a good concept, I took my daughter for the first time but with her being one it was very stressful because the older kids were running around being rough an knocking other babies down. My baby couldn’t even play in the slides without another kid trampling over her or put her in the baby area without the older kids jumping in an opening it to let her out or take toys.

Omg I am ashamed I didn't review yet! My 15 month old loves this place and I feel awesome she's getting some baby human interaction. Being a stay at home mom she doesn't get much interaction with other babies, so this place is so great for her and she loves the smoothies they make and bring to you. Plus the other moms and occasional dad are so sweet. I'm excited for their next location reveal. 👀 also parking is behind the building on a slope like lot. I was confused the first time I went lol.

We've gone here a couple of times now. It is a great concept and the little ones absolutely love it. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and courteous. The tea and coffee available is a nice touch as well. Plenty of parking available behind the building. A great place all year round to visit but especially on a rainy or cold day where you're stuck inside with a child under 6 who needs to burn some energy.

Today was our first time going to Glow Worm. Many of our friends had raved about it, and they were absolutely right! They have coffee (coffee that’s actually good!) and baked goods among lots of other things. The play area and set up is fantastic. Parents can sit back and watch their littles play while recharging themselves. My son had a blast. We will definitely be back!

Since I cannot respond to the reply, I’ll edit my review. It’s so unprofessional to argue on google reviews instead of apologizing and hoping to move forward. I had this issue with a party and the staffs communication while the owner was out. Thankfully we figured it out but it was disheartening. An online/elite booking system would prevent the “middle man” and miscommunication that occurred. I placed several email forms via your website in addition to CALLING your establishment with no reply or no way to make the deposit. I replied and inquired several times via phone and was not given any information on how to book or pay the deposit. Please do not spread lies on google reviews because I have all the emails, web inquires and call logs. They sadly dropped the ball. By me inquiring in both August and September 2022 for a January 2023 party, I was very diligent in my efforts. We had a fabulous party despite the lack of professionalism on your end.

This is one of those places where you visit as a parent and think ‘oh my gosh, why didn’t I think of this’ or 'why aren’t there more'. Glow Worm or ‘sprinkle muffin place’ as my kids call it, is GENIUS!! Such a wonderful refuge to let the kids play safely while parents can have some peace to sit and enjoy their coffee/pastries and work/book/conversations etc. Service is always top notch, I have no idea how they keep it so clean and it’s adorable all around. We also hosted my 4 year olds birthday party here and the owner/staff went above and beyond to make the day what it was including the in house cake we ordered. We have not tried the ‘late' night sessions yet but again, GENIUS. It seems to be booking up further out than previously so word to the wise, keep up with their social media/booking site but you won’t be disappointed!

This is such a fun place for both kids and parents to enjoy themselves. Love the play area, love the cafe, love the retail options. It’s just a slice of sweetness over there.

Been here at least five times, and every time it is amazing! Fun, adorable, safe, clean, delicious, and the staff are always friendly and kind. Their baby merch is so absolutely adorable, the toddler moccasins I got for my little one are the best quality shoes, I went in and immediately bought another pair the next size up. This place is our fave!

Such a great place to take your littles to play while you have a coffee /beverage and snack from their amazing bakery 😍 definitely worth the trip. Be sure to book online ahead of time it is reservation only to ensure that all the littles there have a great experience and to reduce overcrowding. Very clean and quaint with great play equipment and toys!!!

Glow Worm is such an inviting place! I brought a friend here with our small kids. She needed to talk about a crisis she was in and the employees were so polite to us. This is such a safe space to hang out, share a snack with friends and to watch your kiddos make new little buddies. All cities need a place like this for parents to come and relax while kids play and they can watch!

We have loved this place for a while but it’s been a godsend while I’ve been on maternity leave this winter! Cozy, safe, inviting space to get my three-year-old out of the house to play while I drink coffee and hold the newborn. Everyone is always so friendly and the food and drinks are wonderful! Our out-of-town friends are jealous that we have such a haven in our city for parents and young kids!

My littlest babe loves going and it is one of the only places where I can buy adaptable double zipper clothes that work with her Central line and gtube. All of the other kids are sweet to her and no one has ever asked “what’s wrong” with her. Thanks for that!!!!!!!!

Glow Worm is seriously THE BEST place if you have littles! We LOVE Glow Worm! 0We have been a few times for the play cafe and many, many times for Afterglow New Parent Support Group. The food and coffee is always tasty, the staff is so friendly and kind, and the space is so clean!! I love that the staff resets and cleans the space between play shifts. Make sure to read through the policies and guidelines! They are there to ensure everyone has a stellar experience, and they work!

My son and I love glow worm! We started going when he was around 5 months old! We still love going! The playroom is always amazing, clean, and well taken care of! The staff is beyond amazing! So nice! The food and coffee is DELISH!! — Be sure to book your play ahead of time or check their social media! They book up quick and don’t often have walk-ins available. However, sometimes they do have walk-ins and it’s always posted on their social media! They stay booked because it’s truly as amazing as everyone says 💙

I'm so grateful for this play space. I can come here with my 3 daughters, and know they are safe. There's no where for them to run off, and they can play while I enjoy a cup of hot coffee with a tasty snack. The staff is super sweet. Our community has very few spaces like this - designed with small children in mind.
