Customer Reviews

The place is very cool! So clean, organized and all staffs are devoted amazing! My son love being here since he was such young ages.

Update: they quickly fixed most of the issues. I still think they're short staffed otherwise a great place I like the vibe and the personnel are generally good, and kind. The area is also fairly clean and local kids are usually nice kids. However, the facility has a ton of issues. Several machines are not functioning, and the personnel are barely available to fix things. It feels more like a self-serve park. For instance, today their computers were down, the kiosk to check balance was completely turned off

We recently celebrated my daughter?s 7th birthday at Luv2Play in Dublin, and it was a fantastic experience! Kayla, who works there, went above and beyond to make the celebration special. Her excellent service and attention to detail made the day unforgettable. The venue itself is a haven for kids ? full of fun activities and a great atmosphere. We're definitely making Luv2Play our go-to spot for future celebrations. Highly recommended for a joyous and hassle-free kids? birthday party!

Decent play areas but in the last hour of the day the staff was a little inconsiderate while cleaning up, they nonchalantly took away the blocks my kid was playing with and when asked about their behavior we were told to feel free to take it back from where they arranged. On top of that, they do not monitor the paid arcade games around the center, we saw multiple teenage kids climbing inside the hoops arcade to grab basketballs out and then shooting them in, without paying and being rude to kids around them

we celebrated my daughter's birthday party there and the kids (and parents) all had a great time. It was very well organized - really seamless from the moment I booked, all the way through the party - and the staff were very kind, warm and professional. Would recommend highly.

Location is clean and in good order, but the staff seem to have no interest in enforcing the safety rules. Parents actively encouraging their children to break the rules while the staff check their phones and chat amongst themselves.

Kids 7 and under will definitely enjoy this place. A play mansion for kids but an obstacle course for adults! We bought a Groupon and definitely was worth the money! About $12 if you bought it on Groupon. I would recommend filling out the waiver on their website so you save yourself a few minutes and a headache from an eager child. It is mandatory to buy the socks for $2.50 for your child and yourself. Once inside, the kids get lost on the slides, ball shooting thing and twirly things that make me dizzy. My

Ok I absolutely loved this place and so did my kiddos. There's room all around the place for adults to sit while the kids play it's loud in a good way cause everyone is having fun. You can play as long as you want until they close. The have food that wasn't bad and adult beverages which made it more enjoyable for me to stay so long lol. They have wifi, the door locks you have to be buzzed in and out so the kids can't easily escape, they have some games, a couple different play areas for different aged kids

Fun day filled with play structure and arcade games. All the safety for kids is take care of. They provide grip socks for kids to play. Parents can join on kost of the play structure except castle trampoline

Would recommend this place for birthday parties. The staff is very friendly and helpful and takes all the stress of organising birthday party away. The food served is also good. The price includes decorations and food. Kids enjoyed Luv2play a lot and was difficult for them to leave :)

This place was great for little ones. Its a bit on the small side(climbing structure) it has arcade games and a to get food(we didn't get any) overall it's ok, my question is WHY ALCOHOL ON THE PREMISE?!?! This is for the kids not the parent, you should be coherent when you are with your kids. Its an experience for the children not the parent! Hence why you go there in the first place with your child. How did this even get approved. Anyways, you purchase there socks to play in the facility, we asked if you

I take my kids here whenever we are in town. Love the atmosphere and it's nice and clean. Staff is super helpful and friendly and more importantly...patient! The food is really good too!!

Luv2play is the ultimate place to bring your kids if you're in the trivalley. It's shaded and indoors. Especially when it's hot outside. There's places to sit in our arcade games and even food.

Our kids always love coming here, especially for friends' birthday parties! The staff are friendly and helpful and the kids have a ton of fun wearing themselves out!

Great place to take the kids! They had a blast!! Friendly & helpful staff and also a great place to have birthday parties?? We had our kids 3rd birthday here and the service was above and beyond what we expected! The party room was a perfect space for our large group and it was nice being able to order beer and wine for the adults. Everyone was happy!??

We had a birthday party for our 5 year old this weekend. It turned out to be awesome celebrations. This facility has such great structures for little kids, is really clean. Some other kid party places some times can be overwhelming for little kids. Luv2Play is just perfect for kids of this age. Birthday boy and his friends played here for hours. It wasn't that crowded as well. There is separate area for toddlers and babies too, bonus! The birthday party rooms are huge and staff was very good with decorating

If you are wondering if you should do a birthday package here, you absolutely should. As a mom this place was a dream to work with and took all the stress and guess work out of it for me! Attentive, communicative, and really dedicated to your party experience. We had a fantastic host that was so intuitive and helpful, setting things up for us like cupcake towers and favors before we could even think about it. I literally carried in 1 box and all my kids in and she handled the rest! As far as the facilities,

Wonderful facility. This is a clean and safe place for kids to play. I'm incredibly grateful for a place I can take my kids to get all of their energy out whether it's crazy hot outside or there's rainy weather. There's a variety of slides, climbing structures and many toddler and baby areas for the kids. It seems pricy, but there's a lot of hidden fees for small business owners.

We rented out Luv 2 Play for our daughter's 5th birthday and the entire progress was seamless. The hosts did a terrific job setting up the room, passing out the pizza and desserts. If you get stressed out planning parties like I do, I would highly recommend hosting a party here. All I had to do was bring the desserts and have fun! Most importantly, my daughter and her friends had an AMAZING time. We had kids of all ages (8months - 16 years old) and there was something for everyone to do!

Place is filthy. I was so excited from the pictures people posted or reviews I read saying it's well kept, now I'm wondering if my expectations were too high? The big slide is the biggest ?attraction? and that thing is definitely spotless but everything else and the floors are so gross? the toddler area is for 4 and under but kids 4+ were running through, jumping up and down without any attention to actual toddlers that are under two. A kid ran into me because I blocked him from running into my 15m old and

Always emphasize in ALWAYS the best last minute, improvise, saver, etc., place to go in any scenario with your kids, it doesn't matter how far it is it Always there to save the day!

Thank you very much, everything was beautiful, the decoration, the arrangement of the room and the organization. I loved everything. I love this place and we had a great time????

Great indoor play area with arcade games.. both kids and elders enjoy equally here..???? The food court is clean and hygienic and the food is super yum!!! It also has two halls to celebrate kids birthday. This place has separate play areas for toddlers and kids. This place is completely made kids proof everything is secured properly, even if the kid falls it doesn't hurt much. We often visit Luv 2 Play Dublin and our toddler enjoys to the maxxx!!!!!

First time to this place, brought our own socks for adults as most of other places allow parents to wear own socks, then was told it has to be the ?luv to play? socks. These types of unnecessary charges creates waste as well as increase financial burdens. The owner should seriously consider changing the irrational policy.

Staff is rude and inconsiderate. We drove a long distance to reach there on time and their ?systems? were down. All they needed to do was resort to good old ?paper waiver form? and allow little people to play _ front desk guy was so flabbergasted with system being down, he went and brought his manager. She was outright rude and didn't even communicate properly. My 4 yr old and 5 old were literally in tears after driving all the way and not being able to play. The staff needs basic empathy and customer servi

We adore this place! The staff is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is clean, and the people here are not only courteous but also radiate happiness. If you crave a snack or need coffee while keeping up with your little one, just swing by the cafe or use their WiFi to tackle some quick emails. The spotless bathrooms are perfect for the little ones on the move. Plus, there's plenty of parking available ? making it even more inviting!

The kids played well for about two hours. If we wanted them to play for around three hours, we would have needed to buy them a meal and pay extra for arcade games. My child wandered off to the restroom alone without informing me, which was unexpected. I couldn't find my child for a while and became worried. I eventually found them, but there was no one to help, and we couldn't make an announcement. It would have been better if the space was more open and there were helpers around.

Love this place! My toddler loves playing here..the facility is well maintained, clean and interactive for your little ones. As a parent I love the fact that there is a sit in dining area that offers lots of food and beverage variety. Our home away from home :)

Pleasantly suprised to come back and see it was cleaner than before. As a parent my biggest concern is how clean the floors and equipment is. I stopped coming here cause I felt it wasnt very clean but happy i gave them another chance.

Stay away from this place LUV 2 PLAY. I am feeling cheated so I will never recommend this place for birthday parties to my friends and neighbors. Don't book your kids birthday party here and do not buy their annual memberships. They messed up my daughters birthday party. I spent more than $1500 for the birthday party here (including cakes) and $450 for the annual membership for my daughters. The staff did not put enough tables and chairs and when guest came then I put the chairs with my wife for guests. It

This place is very good for kids. My son comes here to play every week with his buddies. I highly recommend this. Very clean, safety for kids and lots of fun.

My son loves this place. It's a great combination of what you expect to see in an indoor playground plus ramps to go to different play areas. Plus, they have an indoor cafe for food so you don't have to leave and lose play privileges. My son loved the chicken tenders, and he's usually really picky about his meat. Thank you for the lovely experience!

Relatively clean indoor play place for toddlers to Kindergarten age children. Great first experience through a friend?s birthday, but upon going back with a family fun pack deal on a weekday, the customer service was poor. With a couple points left on two separate cards, the owner-attendant did not allow us to put points on the same card to allow us to use up our points for one more game. She also did not allow my daughter to trade in her points at the end even with 10 more minutes before closing. Bummed t

Great place. Staff very helpful, nice, patient, & attentive. I had a private party for my child?s 6th bday. The theme was spot on! Would highly recommend!!

All the ball machines are always broken. They never have the things on the playground working for the kids!

Love this place! Our kids always have tons of fun here. The food is good (the pizza and garlic bread are our favorites) The staff is always friendly. This is a great play area to have birthday parties too!

First time here and my daughter was very happy. It has a playground, arcade, a bouncy house.. there is a wide areay of food here, it's a great place. Staff are nice, and the place is clean. Restrooms are clean too. Staff are very friendly. Will definitely.come back.=)

This was my first time taking my 17 month old to a indoor playground & he really enjoyed it. The 1-4 year old area is perfect for the younger kids. His favorite was the ball pit. The bathrooms were also very clean. The prices were also very reasonable. I recommend!

I rented this location for 3hrs for my daughter's 3rd birthday and the overall experience was 5 star! Highly recommend. Amazing staff. They did everything for us. Very convenient for the party hosts. Just book and enjoy your time, they do the rest!

Came from out of town and had a blast here. It's so much fun and was able to go in the play structure with my boy. I liked that

Super clean, all staff was friendly. I liked that there was food and drinks available for the kiddos. Only thing I would recommend, would be to have a staff member occasionally walk through the areas, because there were a lot v of bigger kids in the toddler area with my 1 year old. Other than that was a great time.

Fun place for a party and to play in general BUT for the price. They should have had it a little more together. The food and drinks we preordered for the party wasn't prepared and we had to ask for it all some of which they didn't have. The also don't have a place for guests to put gifts while you wait for your room. My kid had fun but wouldn't recommend or do it again.

We celebrated our daughters first birthday at Luv2Play Dublin and had such a good time. Even our friends and family said it was the best idea for a kids party. They have different zones for different ages, and even adults love the play structures. The older kids liked the arcade games best. It's a safe, clean place your kids can hang out and you feel good about it. And there's beer and wine ;) Really good customer service all around

We had our son's 4th birthday at Luv 2 Play Dublin. The party coordinator was awesome in the pre-planning process. (they send you a list of themes for your party and decorate in advance for you!!!) The day of went smoothly, with two helpful staff that that made the party easy for us! This is not always the case for the party host. The kids had a blast playing for two hours. The families that attended loved that they could stay and play afterwards without limits. Our party also came with arcade cards, which

My experience was pleasant. All the staff members were great quick and made our time memorable. The only thing I wasn't to fund of was the length of time for the amount of money I paid. 1hour for almost 1000 was a little to pricey 2 hrs is more reasonable in my opinion. I would definitely take my children back but just for fun play.

My 1-year-old son loves this place! It is very nicely set up and there's a lot of space for kids to run around. The food is not that bad either. The issue is the manager she is very rude and disrespectful! Not only does she walk by me with a whole bunch of boxes in her hands and not say excuse me. She walks around the facility with an angry face ?? doesn't greet the customers, and on top of that she ignores customers when she's at the register. I will definitely take my son to a different indoor playground!

Great place to take your kids for the day. My 5 year old can't speak enough about it and wants to go back.

Kids see the fun in it, and the place looks decently decorated for not wanting to do it yourself not not celebrating at park, but the customer service and sales associates at this location sounds BAD. How can violence be allowed here? Kids, adults, this should be a safe space.

Nice and clean, kept a 3yr old entertained for 4 hours on a 90f day. Well worth it! And the food/drinks are reasonably priced.

Good place to run and play. Food and party rooms available

Had a great experience. Will definitely bring my kids back ?? . The staff was friendly & the play area was clean.

This is a brand new place and very neat and clean. We did our son?s 5th birthday party and it was super fun! Not only kids but parents also had a great time in the play structure! It was very well organized by the hosts. Food choices were good as well! Thanks for the great memories!

We had our son?s 10th bday here this past weekend. All the kids loved it. Most didn't want to go home and wanted to stay after they close. The staffs were amazing. Check-in was a breeze and the host let us know when our party room was ready. There are seats near the play area where parents can sit and watch their kids. The size was perfect in my opinion. We didn't have to look around to see where the kids ran off to. They also serve beer, food, and non-alcoholic beverages which is great for those that have

I drove 45 min to check this new place out. My kids had tons of fun. You definitely get your money's worth in comparison to overpriced places like lost worlds in livermore or chuckecheese...The individual pizza is not worth price but the full size pizza looks delicious. The owners father visits to see how things work. Shows they care about their business.

my gripe is with the food court service. 1st visit, i ordered a side of fries for my kids. it took 45 minutes to get my fries. I understand that they're busy with birthday parties and preparing pizzas. But 45 minutes to get a side of fries is ridiculous. 2nd visit today. again i ordered fries for my kids. i was the 1st order. my number was #1. i waited an hour and no fries. other customers with numbers 2-8 had gotten their pizza orders. i finally asked what was taking so long. they said they forgot to p

I was there on Sunday and never in my life had I visited a place as messy, dirty, super crowded, stinky and disorganized as this one. Real chaos. They were having a birthday party and the guests had left plates of cake everywhere, the toys were sticking with so much dirt, the lost employees couldn't handle so many people, the bathrooms stinked of sewage. The floor of the snack bar is filthy and the service is terrible. Some car toys smelled like burnt rubber. I stayed for an hour and went home feeling

The lady at the desk today was hella rude. My sister was inside with a few family members and I came to pick up something up from them. I was at the door at 4:40pm but it was locked. She stood there staring at me then when I called she hung up in my face. As another customer was coming out, she told them to not let me in. Once in she was very combative and argumentative. As a business owner I understand wanting to close at certain time but there is a way to handle your customers. My family informed me she w

My 2 boys had so much fun and didn't want to leave! Huge play structure for big kids, but also big section areas for preschoolers, toddlers as well as baby/crawler section. Food was also not bad, has good options of gluten free items. Seating for parents is a surplus. Come get work done on your computer while your kids have a blast!

I had a private party for my twins here and it was just great, the staff were so attentive and helpful. The kids had an awesome time. Best of all, I dropped off the decorations and they set it up for me and everything looked so wonderful.

Pretty nice place for kid?s birthday party. Reservation process was pretty smooth with Racquel discussing options for food, drinks and party room set up etc. Party host Maya was nice and helpful and took care of everything - getting the paltry room ready on time and serving the guests and finally packing stuff up after. Overall, good experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing place! The food is really delicious! The games are so much fun, and the claw machine game is insanely fun! If u live near Dublin CA or this place, Go take ur kid there! They will have GREAT fun! They can even win PRICES with their tokens! Just like Chuck-E-Cheese!

I had a good time here with my baby. We came in after I got out of work on a thrusday I believe. They where friendly and explained everything that was goin on there since we were newcomers. The only thing I wish they told us was that the food court had a time it stopped serving food. We wanted to buy a pizza but they told us the ovens where turned off right before we asked. Anyways my baby had a fun time and it was a great experience.

First time ever booking for a party, loved it! They took care of everything (set up, decorations, food, serving) Definitely satisfied with the service and all the little ones had fun. Did not have to worry about anything!

Great place! A lot of options to play both for my 4yo and 1yo. Their caf? is also nice. We spent about 4 hours there and definitely will be back soon. Upd: we still love it here! It's our monthly treat:)

The staffs are not so friendly.... they only accept their socks and chased me and kids. Even after we bought THEIR socks. Very much disturbing... the way they talk was very mean. Understand that they are doing their jobs, but mean... very mean. They don't need to be that mean. Even after all these troubles, they recommend me to subscribe their membership for my three kids.... well they just lost 5 customers!

Subscriber beware. It's the third weekend we try to go to Luv2play and we can't get in. This is one of the only subscription services you will get where you cannot use the facilities when you want to. Luv2play reserves the right to book the whole place for private parties. We were told when we got the subscription that private parties would not prevent you from using the place. That's not the case or not the case anymore. Also, you are not notified when there are parties. So if you subscribe, be careful. Yo

This is an interesting review. I also can be motivated to change my opinion but for now given my first experience, this is 100% accurate. The experience starts with this photo. For months I had been looking forward to visiting Luv2play with my kids. I even considered hosting a birthday party there if they would be open in time. As the grand opening approached, this photo popped up in my stories on Instagram. Take a good look. Not the right photo for a kids place.. right? Even so, I figured I would give them

Gave my grandson a birthday party here. Service was excellent. There are activitiesfor a broad age range, all of the kids were happy. And nothing to clean up. I'll definitely return.

It's OK kinda expensive. And if u pay u can't really play all day till 6pm staff tells ur children to stop playing in areas that are now closed for cleaning eventhough it's not even close to 6pm. Staff also cleaned the restrooms with shoes on then walks around when children babies hands are touching floor. Cleaning should be after everyone leaves for the ppls safety.

BEWARE !!! Beware of their monthly package.They won't tell you anything about the recurring charge and as customer you would expect the package you are buying is just for a month. Though they ll make you fill the form that says it's recurring charge but obviously as a parent when you have so many forms to fill just for letting your kids in definetly you are not going to read each and every word of what you sign up for. This happened with me the staff didn't tell me about the recurring charge and the money

I love this place! I've been taking my son here since he was 2 and he is now 5. I love how clean it is and how close it is to home. Plus the pizza is delicious!

This place is a hidden gem. I love the fact that is is super clean and there are activities for all ages. I can get some work done with the free wifi and battery wall sockets. The food is delicious and I appreciate the adult beverages for the parents. We come here about three times a week. Love this place.

My kid played 20 mins then we had lunch at the car and then came back. They request to pay full price again because we exceed 10 mins outside. We paid whole day full payment for 20 mins play. This is ridiculous. We had Luv 2 play membership at San Jose but they said that they are not related under the same name. We I had to pay full which is fine. I brought my own socks(special rubber at bottom) but they do not allow socks from outside. Most of indoor place they allow this. I had to purchased them again. R

My little one loves to play here!

So incredibly fun! The snack bar service was quick and speedy and the arcade is very inclusive. Lots of games were available and even adults could have fun there too.

They does not allow you to leave and come back that day. Even though it doesn't say it anywhere in the store, the rules, the prices, or the waiver. Hoping to save another family frustration. After expressing my disappointment with this rule they suggested I buy the monthly membership (which is very expensive, how convenient for them). To the owner: Change this policy if you want to have more clients! It's been discussed in all local FB groups and moms are not happy!

This place is the worst indoor playground I have every seen. Most of the games are paid and they still have entry fees. Their playground is very small. Stay away from a membership , it's a scam. I cancel my membership in nov-dec and they still charge me till the date. They don't pick up phone or return voice mail if it's related to cancelation.

My 2nd time at love to play and I definitely enjoyed it. My kids got to run off lots of energy and I didn't have to worry if the went off on their own to play. Staff at the front counter was very cool and down to earth. Really enjoyed it

It has multiple play areas for different aged kids, with a variety of things to do to keep kids interested. It's a good opportunity for kids to meet new kids and start playing together. Very clean and seems safe for everyone.

Some of the machines were out of order. Other than that, my kid had a blast. We attended a party and we were well attended to.

This place is scary for younger kids. It's not very separated between younger and older kids. I went to the 4 and under area and my child still got hurt. I caught it right on video and as soon as I saw this spot, I knew it was a dangerous play part for kids. I had to leave within an hour

Avoid this place at all cost. I booked my kid?s party here, had to change it twice due to schedule conflicts that were not in the site. After the party, apparently I had to meet with someone to finalize payment, which I thought it was automatic. Fast forward 2 days later and got a call from the police department, saying that I committed fraud? Do not support this type of business.

Great place for kids to run around and play. 4 stars for their food service... Very slow. If you order food here expect to wait an hour! (Only ordered nachos and a individual cheese pizza btw)

Nice indoors playground, clean and safe. Available cafe for snack, beverage, beer & wine.

Very nice but can get crowded at times. Staff is always amazing

It didn't seem that clean when I went with my 2 kids. Floor mats looked dirty. & stuff needed to for sure to wiped down. I paid to get in plus an additional $20 for game card.

Unfortunately I will have to give this place a one-star review. We called at 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday to confirm the closing time of 7:00 p.m., the lady answered "I think so". When we arrived at 5:45 p.m. we were greeted by staff saying that they were closing due to being short staffed. We wasted our time driving there, why did they just not tell us they were going to close early when we literally just called before driving there?? EDIT: We were offered two day passes to try the place. Will update review when

Luv 2 Play Dublin is amazing for kids! I'm from vegas and I've never seen an indoor playground at this level before. Not only is it pristinely clean but the food is great too! Can't wait to take my girls back! Excited that they're open now :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
