Wine, Wi-Fi, and Other Amenities Every Children’s Playspace Should Provide for Bored Parents
In a recent advertisement for Funland, the popular children’s playspace, the focus has shifted from luring kids in with flashy games and tasty snacks to enticing the adults who accompany them. The new campaign highlights features like a gourmet adult menu (beyond the usual greasy fare) and complimentary Wi-Fi, aiming to make the experience more enjoyable for parents who find themselves stuck in a place filled with sticky floors and rambunctious children.
While the allure of Wi-Fi is palpable (think of all the passive-aggressive social media posts you could craft), I can’t help but wish for more engaging options for adults. This sentiment resonates across many kids’ play areas. For instance, in our local shopping center, there’s a toy store and a beloved Disney outlet where my little one loves to explore. The play area, equipped with colorful building blocks, offers a brief distraction for kids while parents browse. However, as soon as my child becomes entranced in play, I quickly grow bored and restless, itching to leave.
The problem? There’s little for me to do other than contemplate buying yet another toy. I get that toy stores are designed for children, but if they catered to adults a bit more, I might be more inclined to spend time (and money) there. A hot cup of coffee and a cozy chair would make a world of difference. After all, enjoying a warm drink while my child socializes is truly priceless.
Many establishments could enhance their appeal to adults. So, if you’re listening, toy store and playspace operators, here’s a thought list of amenities that could transform your venues into go-to family destinations for fun, relaxation, and a little indulgence:
- Power Outlets
Having access to charging stations would encourage parents to settle in with their devices, possibly extending their stay. - Coffee Bar
Let’s face it—parenting can be exhausting. A simple coffee bar offering quality brews would be a game-changer, keeping us awake and alert as we supervise our kids. - Wine and Cheese
How about reviving the once-available option of wine at certain venues? Pair it with a cheese platter, and you’ll create a win-win situation. Parents can unwind while kids enjoy playtime. - Massage Chairs
Why are seating options for parents so uncomfortable? Investing in a few massage chairs would make a significant difference, helping ease the tension that comes from lugging around toddlers. - Manicure Station
Let’s be real—my nails could use some TLC. Having a quick manicure option would be a delightful treat while my child plays nearby. - Nap Cots
Honestly, I would pay good money for a short power nap in a clean, cozy cot. Just 15 minutes would do wonders for my energy levels. (Let’s not get into hygiene just yet—this is brainstorming!)
These suggestions are just the tip of the iceberg, but they represent a shift toward creating family-friendly environments that cater to both kids and adults. After all, if kids have a space to be themselves, why shouldn’t parents enjoy some relaxation too?
