About this space

Play Street Museum - Upper West Side is a children's museum built around child-scale, themed role-play rooms and hands-on activity stations that prioritize imaginative play.

Design: The interior is bright and uncluttered, with white walls, child-height fittings and clear sightlines across activity zones. The floor combines hard surfaces and soft, patterned foam mats that define play and craft areas.

Features: The venue includes a small indoor slide, craft tables and child-sized furniture arranged for easy supervision. A PA system is installed and hosts may play their own music. Natural light fills the main room and on-site restrooms are available.

Ideal for: Families with toddlers and preschoolers seeking relaxed, activity-led play sessions and supervised craft time.

What sets it apart: A staff-run party program provides decoration, food and on-site timing management so hosts can book a turnkey children's party.

What guests say: The space is consistently clean and well maintained. The play areas feel safe and are especially well suited to toddlers and younger preschoolers.

Host rules

Guest Limit: Private Parties include up to 16 children (ages 1–12), including the birthday child. Up to 25 kids total are allowed for an extra fee per child. Over 25? A $500 Large Party Fee will apply.

Semi-Private Parties include 8 children. More than 12 children? The $500 Large Party Fee also applies. We must be notified of extra children at least one week in advance.

Crafts: Want to add a craft activity? You can include an in-house craft! Outside crafts are not permitted.

Setup Time: You may arrive 30 minutes before your party to set up.

Cleanup: We’ll help you pack your items, and we’ll take care of the rest!
