The Coop

Love this place… Love the staff! We have had a wonderful experience every time! The parties they throw are to the 10s with detail and creativity. I don’t understand why the last person complained about taking your shoes off… Every play place has you take your shoes off. Babies and children are playing on the floor. I think it’s a great modern space to hang while my kids play

I’ve been at the Coop twice as a guest for kids birthday party, but this last time I got even more disappointed. It’s very dirty, the bathroom smelled and the floor was wet. And there is actually not much to do.
And I’m not exaggerating when I say that. They have the balls and the single slide which gets boring after 20min.
Here is what really ticked me off… They make you take your shoes off (just like most playgrounds) but the difference is that half of their play area consists of the patio outside. When I say outside I mean literally open space back yard where the dust and dirt from the streets come inside. So why am I taking my show off again? Would you take your shoes off in your backyard? Probably not. Now all that going in and out make the enclosed area as bad as the outside.

I threw a birthday party here on Dec 19^th for my 4 year old girl. I was very happy with it and so were my guests.
The customer service is very accommodating .
The atmosphere is safe and clean.
The kids had a fun time and there was lots for them to do.
They food/​drinks/​party package called «whole coop and caboodle» was excellent and thorough– very attentive to details .
I would definitely come here again
Would recommend to others.

I love it here! My second time here and my daughter always have a good time ! She enjoys the ball pit and the outdoor set up! She never wants to leave ! and the staff is amazing and friendly

The coop is the best indoor/​outdoor play space for the kids ! I’ve been taking my 2 year old here since he was 9 months, and he loves it every time!
We just celebrated his 2^nd birthday party there, and I cannot say enough amazing things about the staff and the place.
Amazing staff, they give you their vision about everything and they’re sooo good at what they do. They helped us with our party from start to finish, they were so on top of everything, so attentive and so professional! Everyone specially my son had the best birthday party ever!
Thank you for creating such an amazing space for our kids and adults to enjoy.

our 2^nd time at the coop for both my kids. Love how the staffs are so attentive and helpful. This party place is where both kids and adults will have a blast.

How does this place have 5 stars? Seriously, are peoples nannies taking their kids there for them, and then telling them they had a good time or what? You can’t give this place 5 stars if you’ve ever been here in person and actually played with your kids.
Their web site is seriously the best part about this place, and no wonder they don’t have many pics of the actual play area. It’s TINY, and it’s HOT. They have AC in part of the play area, but they open the rollup door to the outside area, which cancels out the AC. My wife almost passed out from the heat.
I’d also say once more then 8 – 10 kids show up, that’s it. The ball pit was taken over by older kids (6 to 9 year old I’d guess), who then proceeded to harass the littler kids. I saw SEVERAL parents complain to the front desk about it. Their reply? «Come back later when they are gone.» Really?
My 2 year old got stuck in the rope tube thing, and they have NO WAY to get up to the top area, other then climbing up the tunnel. I’m 5’11″ and 230lbs, making it physically impossible for me to get up there when my child was stuck, crying and panicked. The staff? «Sorry, we can’t leave the front desk, someone has to be here to answer the phone.» So my wife ended up climbing up the kid sized rope tube. But what if something happens to one of the kids up top, or you need to get up there in an emergency? What if there is a fire? Hello fire marshal?
The coffee bar area? Come on, it’s just another room with 1 table. They also happen to have a tiny espresso machine in there where you can get a latte for $ 4.
In the end, we asked for our money back. The people at the front desk made excuse after excuse, and blamed the parents and the kids. They took totally no responsibility at all. My wife said she was about to ask for our money back because the unruly kids were out of control and their parents didn’t care. The owner said she wasn’t responsible for the kids or parents, and there was nothing she could do. She says she «wanted to make us happy by giving us our money back», while at the same time being extremely condescending and just itching for a fight, egging my wife on. In the end we got our money back and went to a REAL indoor play place. As we left the owner finally got her a** out of her chair to make sure other people there heard her say «Sorry, this has never happened before, hope you come back again.»
Oh ya, at $ 20 for 2 kids, that makes it also one of the most expensive places in LA for kids to play.

I cannot say enough good things about The Coop, the place is beautiful, kids love it, they have coffee, the staff is great… their parties are the most amazing you will ever see… I have done all my kids 1^st birthdays plus a few 3s and 4s, my SIL baby shower, a birthday… I mean, you name it.
It’s always wonderful.

My kids love this place. We come here to play and for birthday parties. It’s fun and safe.

This place didn’t feel clean. The ball pit has rubber square mats surrounding it that were covered in hair and could’ve used a deep cleaning and vacuum.
Lots of nannies ignoring their kids and chatty parents ignoring their kids as well. The employees never came into the play area while we were there so it felt chaotic with no one to implement rules. For example kids jumping wildly into the ball pit and throwing balls.
The upside. My daughter had a wonderful time playing here but sadly we won’t be returning.

Aiming to avoid the summer heat, my sister and I were interested in finding an indoor play facility for my nieces (3 yrs. old & 2 mo. old). She found The Coop and we decided to take the girls during Free Play Hours.
We arrived around 2:30pm, entry is $ 10 per child. The baby was free. Upon entering the playroom my first reaction was Meh. However, my niece’s reaction was Yaaaayyyyyy! The place was pretty much empty. There was one little girl getting ready to leave when we arrived. After about 20 – 30 minutes of playing a few more kids showed up. No more than 5 kids. But for some reason the room suddenly felt crowed.
The Coop definitely has a great concept and I love the retro vibe feeling that it gave me; but for $ 10 per child, I think The Coop should offer a bit more. I honestly feel like a child over the age of 4 would get bored rather quickly.

My daughter stopped by with my wife because we heard it was an awesome place for kids. The place and service was amazing we are considering doing a party there and we live over 400 miles away– it’s that good! Took about an hour to get our kid out of there because she was having so much fun. Great place for parents to park as well and have a little time to relax.

Very nicely executed play place. I notice all of the little touches and effort that they have put into it to make it special, see how many you notice!
If only they opened at 9am!

Meh. This place is just ok. It’s kind of empty. It’s expensive for the amount of things to do. I wouldn’t come back here, I would rather go to the park or story time.
It’s to «modern» for kids. Although it was appealing to me at first I quickly realized my kid would be bored within an hour max.
Not for us.

Late post! Searched a lot of places to spend my sons 7^th bday last August 30 2014 with his pirate party theme and this place really caught my attention. There were good and bad reviews of course (you can’t please everyone) but my experience with this place is really awesome. I like the fact that you can have the option to bring your own food and do whatever program you like in this place– — my own magician and photo booth in my case. Even if the owner was not around, the staff was indeed up on their toes in helping me load and unload my stuff, helped me monitor every now and then food supplies and assist me too in putting a lot of stuff back to my car after the party. Staff are really very polite and makes me really feel at home. I like how they make me and my guests feel at home. Not good though for big parties. I have like tons of friend but the one who has kids only were the ones that were invited. Kids also love the dance pad and the slide. Would totally recommend this to my friend!

WOW! So happy with The Coop :)
We had our son’s first birthday party this Sunday. The entire team from management to staff were so helpful and patient from the beginning ’til the end of our party. We felt so comfortable and at ease. This place has got it all. Perfect space and décor for pictures. Kids have fun in the play area and yet adults get to lounge in the patio. Staff is so attending and friendly! These guys know how to run an efficient party!
Us and our guests couldn’t be any happier! We had a lot of fun and guess what we can’t wait for our pictures to re-​live the moments!
THANK YOU COOP!!!
Cheers!

I had my daughter’s 2^nd birthday here and it was simply fantastic!
I first sent an inquiry to The Coop and received a phone call the next day from Lucinda. When I returned her call, she was friendly and gave me all the information I needed. I felt so comfortable that without even seeing the place (other than the pictures on the website and on Unilocal), I went ahead and reserved the location. I did a quick walk-​through the following weekend and was pleased with everything, from the outside patio to the bounce-​house.
Fast-​forward to the party and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. All the ladies that helped out were wonderful! Megan, Darlene, Mercedes and Brittany were so helpful and friendly. They helped me and my family set up all the food and throughout the event, I never had to worry once about the food/​water running out because they made sure everything was refilled. When it was cake time, we all moved out of the play area and the staff quickly went to work packing up all the food and moving it to my car. I realize they have other parties going on and they need to keep on a tight schedule, but honestly, I NEVER felt rushed. The 2 hour time slot was perfect with enough play time, mingle time and cake time.
In terms of the actual play location, all of the parents were super impressed. It really caters to all ages, with play toys and books for the infant/​toddler set, and the bounce-​house and ball-​pit for the older kits. Even the parents had a great time in the ball pit, following their little ones in there and rolling around. It was a fun, stress-​free day and I’m so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much!

This place is small and very minimal as far as things for kids to do. They have a jumper which is too dark inside and a slide which goes into a pool of plastic balls. No AC! Cute patio area with nice lounging area. I wouldn’t have a kids’ birthday party here. Nope!

Oh, we love the coop. It’s small but has a lot for toddlers to do to keep busy. It’s clean and open. It gives me a feeling of relief when I get inside because of the clean, soothing look of everything. There’s many places to plop down and enjoy watching the kids or get down on the floor or ball pit with them. Somehow I can relax somewhat in their space which is really great… Except for one thing, the baby gate, which I’ll get into in a min…
It took a while for me to really feel I was getting my money’s worth because for the first several visits, when my son was 1 — 2 ½ yrs old, he wouldn’t use the equipment. There’s a rope tunnel that goes up one story to a corkscrew slide that ends in a ball pit. But no adult can go up with them so for some it’s a little intimidating. The first time he was brave enough to go up, he started crying at the top and I had to talk him back down the rope tunnel. Also, I’ve seen kids get up there and refuse to come down when time to go. But, he was very entertained just running around and playing with the cool toys they have. It’s not overrun by toys which is really nice.
One thing that is a little bit of a con is when weather is bad, the side patio is closed, which is one of my favorite areas. On nice days I tend to head to the park rather than an indoor playground, so…
My only true complaint is that they have a really cheap baby gate that is supposed to keep all the kids safe. My son was able to open it at 1 ½ years old. The woman at the desk said I wasn’t closing it properly, but I did, and then she did, and every time my son opened it right up. I didn’t like that she had such a cavalier attitude about it especially since the exit is right beyond the gate which leads out to the small patio and opening to Ventura blvd. at his age he was a runner, so not enjoyable and very scary! I’m sure he’s not the only one. They should take the entry fees of a couple of customers and BUY A NEW BABY GATE! One that closes by itself. Instead of training parents on how to close it. It’s kind of important. I mean really, without safety what do they have? When my son was a little older, he wasn’t interested anymore in escaping so we all had a much better time. I really do love going there it’s just that the whole gate situation just really rubbed me the wrong way. If they improve that one thing I’ll update this review because I really do like it there.

This is by far the cleanest and hippest-​looking indoor play spot for kids. It’s super modern, as if the owners channeled Phillipe Starck to design it.
Granted, my daughter isn’t walking yet but she thoroughly enjoyed crawling around and exploring all the fun colorful corners complete with funky rocking horses, a big teepee, a contemporary dollhouse not to mention a fluorescent lit dance floor, big bouncy castle and giant slide and ball pit.
I met the owner on the way out and she was very sweet. I paid $ 10 for a one time entrance which she applied to a package of 10 drop-​ins for $ 60. Can’t wait to go back! I can’t understand how a place like the Playroom stays in business when the Coop is just a few miles away!
