Straight from our customers:

Leslie

Such a fun place! My 2 yr old played by himself for a hour and a half, mesmerized. He didn’t want to leave.

Simone

We LOVED our little diggers play time! It was so clean, with staff constantly sweeping the floors and seating areas. There were plenty of trucks and shovels and toys to play with and the venue seemed spacious even with many other families playing at the same time as us.

Little Diggers is the perfect indoor activity for a toddler! My son loved every minute in the sand and playing with all the trucks. The coffee station is just what a Mama needs. They seriously have thought of everything.

Sarah

This place is fantastic. Even with a number of kids it still feels like a lot of room. The sand is always clean. It's a perfect place for a toddler.

Megan

We had a truly wonderful experience at Little Diggers for our son's second birthday party! The space was set up perfectly and registering the space was very easy...It was the least stressful birthday party I've ever planned as a parent!

Bridget

We had a great time on opening day. Staff was kind. Space was bigger than I thought it would be. They have coffee and tables for parents. So many toys to play with so there was no fighting. The facility was very clean. We will be going again.

Jessica

How awesome!!! We drove about 2.5 hours to try this place out for my son's 4th birthday. SO WORTH IT!!!!

Selenge

This place was absolutely amazing! If you have kids who know not to eat sand or throw sand at other kids, this place is perfect fit for you! Great concept executed well with kind local business owners. I am extremely happy 😊 that Columbus finally has a safe play place for boys to explore their inner creativity.
