Play Grounds of Tampa, Tampa

Play Grounds of Tampa offers the best of both the parenting and kiddie worlds. At the coffee lounge, parents sip drinks and nibble on snacks while perched in seats that have clear sight lines to the play areas. There, sock-clad kids bound over themed inflatables while trained staff members engage them in fun games.

In addition to such attractions as The Pirate's Cove and Disney princesses bounce houses, Play Grounds of Tampa has age-specific activities, including soft play areas for toddlers. The bounce-house facility suggests kids be younger than 12, though it hosts occasional teenage activities.
