\t\t\t\tFor families seeking a fun, safe and immersive play experience in Austin, Mt. Playmore<\/a> delivers on all fronts.<\/p>\n

The facility, founded in 2014, provides a space for children to step away from screens and engage in physical play.<\/p>\n

“Mt. Playmore encourages children to get off their devices … and physically play around other children,” Director of Operations Deirdre Frazier-Hunt said.<\/p>\n

The indoor climate-controlled environment is designed to keep children comfortable year-round, no matter Texas\u2019 unpredictable weather. This thoughtful planning makes it an ideal destination for families looking to spend quality time together in a safe, welcoming space.<\/p>\n

What activities are available?<\/p>\n

Mt. Playmore offers a variety of attractions that appeal to children of all ages. The centerpiece is a three-level playscape<\/a>, comparable in size to a 3,800-square-foot home. Parents can relax in surrounding couches and armchairs while keeping a close eye on their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents have a 360-degree view of their children, so safety is a big component of … what makes parents choose [Mt. Playmore],\u201d Frazier-Hunt said.<\/p>\n

Other standout features include a toddler room<\/a> dedicated to children two and under, a toddler-friendly arcade<\/a> and a larger arcade featuring about 70 games and simulator rides for kids three and older.<\/p>\n

Mt. Playmore continues to innovate with sensory accommodations for children, including an upcoming sensory corner designed for calm-down moments. The facility also offers flexible visit options, allowing guests to come and go throughout the day.<\/p>\n

With a focus on children ages two through 12, the facility ensures that every activity, ride and game is appropriate and engaging for its target age group.<\/p>\n

What types of food are available?<\/p>\n

Mt. Playmore offers non-dairy, vegan and gluten-free options at its in-house restaurant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We have a full-service, made-from-scratch restaurant,” Frazier-Hunt said. “Most [businesses in this industry] just have concession stands, … but at Mt. Playmore, everything is made fresh. It’s one of our values. We think about kids … and parents who are concerned about what goes in their kids’ bodies.”<\/p>\n

Do they host birthday parties?<\/p>\n

For over a decade, Mt. Playmore has been hosting birthday parties<\/a>. They offer seven themed party rooms and customizable packages.<\/p>\n

Frazier-Hunt emphasized that birthday parties are more than just celebrations; they\u2019re introductions for new families to the facility.<\/p>\n

“If you run great birthday parties, you’re ready to run a great business,” she said. “Families are walking away saying, ‘Oh my gosh, we’ve got to come back to Mt. Playmore. That was a great time.'”<\/p>\n

How is safety prioritized?<\/p>\n

Safety<\/a> is a cornerstone of Mt. Playmore\u2019s operations. All children must wear socks or shoe covers, and adults must be accompanied by children to enter.<\/p>\n

Every adult is checked in with a waiver<\/a> and ID. Adults and children in the same group receive identical UV ink stamps, which are checked upon exit to ensure each child leaves with the proper guardian.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Mt. Playmore is a strict no-hit zone. If an incident occurs, staff review security footage to ensure appropriate action is taken, and those who break the rules are promptly addressed.<\/p>\n

The facility maintains a no-nuts policy and partners with reputable food vendors to ensure food safety.<\/p>\n

How does pricing work?<\/p>\n

Pricing is simple: pay at the door for general visits. Optional 10-visit passes are available at a 40% discount.<\/p>\n

Special themed days<\/a> provide additional value, which include:<\/p>\n

Sunday: come before noon to receive a $5 game cardMonday: buy a $20 game card and receive $10Wednesday: kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entreeThursday: half off admission to children who wear a princess or superhero shirtFriday: buy a $20 game card and receive 200 tickets free\"Child<\/p>\n

Creating a legacy of play<\/p>\n

Mt. Playmore thrives on the sense of community it fosters. Families return year after year, and children grow up with their earliest memories tied to the facility.<\/p>\n

“I had a family who started coming in when [their child] was about 14 months old,” Frazier-Hunt said. “We closed our doors for quite a bit of time [during the pandemic], … and when the child came back through the door, she threw out her arms and said, ‘Miss Playmore!’… [We want to] have kids who have grown up in Mt. Playmore bring their [own] kids here. That’s the great legacy we want.”<\/p>\n

With engaging attractions, a commitment to safety and a dedication to creating lasting memories, Mt. Playmore has become more than a play center; it\u2019s a cornerstone of family life in Austin.<\/p>\n
