BusyKids Play and Coworking Cafe - Folsom, California

My family came here for the first time the other day, when we walked in the older lady brunette lady greeted us and asked if it was our first time we said yes and she said okay no outside drinks, I had another coffee in my hand and since I saw it was a coffee shop I thought I’d be okay to bring one in since we just randomly decided to stop by here to check it out. My blended coffee melted while we were there. She also said well I need to charge you for an extra adult, and do you all have socks on? For some reason she didn’t see very friendly, more irritated with us. She told me to register and that I did not need to complete the waiver which I also thought was weird for us not to do that, I did it anyways. We walked in and this place was great, it did seem pretty clean, other than i saw many kids chewing on the balls in the ball pit, the staff was walking around cleaning up a little bit while kids were playing. I did notice though many of the rooms didn’t have much in them. Maybe the kids took everything out by the time we got there at noon. One room just had a brown rug and two folded chairs. We still enjoyed our time, and they also had a nice menu and adult drinks. We got the Saturday special mini board which was a great idea.

Update! Busy Kids just called me and wanted to hear my feedback and follow up on my review. I want to commend them for reaching out and we will be back to try this location out again. Again, my daughter had a great time and hopefully next time we’re there I’ll have all good things to say.

Please note: I never leave bad reviews but…This place is RUN DOWN. The posted pictures are totally misleading. There are no legos. There is no ball pit. I was so surprised. We usually go to the galleria location which is fully stocked and newer. I think that’s the issue, the galleria location is newer, maybe? Maybe the Folsom location could take some toys from there to help this location out. The store and kitchen area was so sparse, maybe ten extremely used wooden fruits and veggies, everything in the place has chipped paint, stains, just worn out. All the baby nursery and vet stuff is just threadbare and nasty. I get it, kids run through stuff, that’s why we bring them to places like this BUT I’m shocked that the owners wouldn’t put money into updating or replacing anything. Of course my toddler didn’t care and had a great time, she’s two, but for $14 I was hoping the place would at least be well maintained. Also, I was hoping they would have a cool climbing structure like the other location not a used up wooden play structure. Look, Living Spaces has a free play area for kids 4 and older, I’ll just take my kids there. Goodness.

Thank you for wonderful experience BUT definitely NEED IMPROVEMENTS

COFFEE SHOP IS STILL CLOSE. We’re excited to try out this place since it’s kids friendly and for parents a coffee shop. And reading some previous reviews is having the same issue.

SELLING INDOOR PLANT & TOYS 👍🏻
CUSTOMER SERVICE 👍🏻

The place is nice to try to connect your kids to other kids and toddlers. Also with parents.

TOYS ARE FROM either donation or Goodwill. The toys are somewhat organized but definitely not new and updated. Although they have fully functional piano and music instruments. They should have a PROGRAM that if you donate decent and functional toys you get a discount or at least a nice warm cup of coffee.

SANITATION INSIDE PLAYING AREA. Not that good since they only have sanitation pump outside before entering the play area. Could be more sanitize if they have each play room a wipes or alcohol pump.

I had such an amazing experience planning my 1 yr old's birthday party with BusyKids, it was a blast. Kids were so entertained and parents got some time to relax, chat and catch up with others too. The party decorations were super professional and pleasing.
Special shout out to 'Colette'.. She was phenomenal and so eager to address all our concerns and request. She went above and beyond to make out party a success and now my friends want to celebrate their kids birthday with the BusyKids too.. yay...

Thank you Colette... Thank you BusyKids..

Extremely displeased with my experience there today. There was a person painting there while the kids were playing today. Like painting the archways sure but also painting the walls in areas that even my 18 month old could reach. So I was on the lookout to keep her from touching the paint that I knew he had painted and left with no signs or prevention for any child to get into. But then we went and played on the plane play structure and I started realizing my child's hands and all over her clothes were blue! He had painted a play structure and just left it with no signage and did not block it off from kids playing on it. My child put her hands in her mouth with paint on them, her new clothes were covered in paint and ruined and her hands had to be scrubbed to get clean. I went up to the worker and she said oh let me put a sign on it. Didn't even offer to help me with my child. I will never be back again.

We recently had my daughter's 6th birthday party here and it was such a great experience. Their party package took care of the basics and they have all these food and decor add ons available to customize your needs. All the kids who had been there before were excited to visit again and all the ones who hadn't told me they had a lot of fun. Lots of room for the kids to run around - we were there for 2 hours and my daughter still didn't want to leave. The party room can be a little tight if all the guests and parents are in the room but it's manageable. My personal favorites were the coffee shop and their huge selection of drinks and eats and then the present cart is on wheels (!!) so you can haul everything to your car in one go. The owner is very friendly and you can tell really strives to make the space special for both kids and adults. We'll definitely be back!

Had a great time with the besties and kids! Soft pretzels and mimosas while the kids played til they couldn’t play anymore, I couldn’t ask for a better Sunday afternoon! Rachel and Taylor were especially helpful in ensuring everyone had a good time. We will definitely be back!

So fun and so many things to do! Each little room has multiple self-serve activities and there are probably a dozen or more rooms. Lots of windows and doorways so it’s easy to find your kids. Bring socks!! (For the adults too!) Great place for a birthday party or just to get out of the heat. My ice chai was delicious.
