PlayGrounds Fun Zone and Cafe

Specialties

We have a full scale café serving gourmet coffee and pastries for breakfast, hearty sandwiches and flavorful salads for lunch, and fresh baked cookies and ice cream cones for dessert. Kids also have great menu choices that include familiar favorites and unique items like the Fluffernutter sandwich!

Our fun zone is a 3,500 square-​foot indoor play space where kids’ imaginations can run wild. After being greeted at the Ranger Station, kids ages 8 and under can explore, climb, crawl and slide among colorful animal characters that live in the north woods. There is also an area designated for toddlers to do all of the same things on a «toddler scale.» Parents are welcome to join the fun, or enjoy some rest and an iced coffee on one of our comfy couches or chairs.

The party place is also a great place to host a child’s birthday party or a special group event. There are large party rooms, plenty of reservation times to choose from, and party packages to fit your style and budget.
