About the Venue

The Schenectady location of The Littles Play Cafe brings the same play-café formula to the Rotterdam side of the city, with indoor play, snacks, drinks, and a setup that works especially well for younger children. Official information lists this site for ages 0-9 and sells open play in visits of up to three hours. It is a good local option for families who want a more contained, parent-comfortable environment than a large family entertainment center.
