About Urban Sprouts Play
Discover the story behind Toronto's premier indoor children's amusement park and meet the passionate team dedicated to creating magical childhood experiences.
Our Story
Urban Sprouts Play was founded in 2020 by childhood education enthusiasts Marcus Chen and Isabella Rodriguez, two parents who recognized the need for safe, innovative indoor play spaces in downtown Toronto. After watching their own children struggle to find engaging activities during harsh Canadian winters, they envisioned a place where imagination could flourish year-round.
Starting with a modest 3,000 square foot space, Marcus and Isabella invested their combined expertise in child development and recreational facility management to create something truly special. What began as a neighborhood play center quickly grew into Toronto's most beloved family destination, expanding to our current 12,000 square foot facility in 2024.
Today, Urban Sprouts Play serves over 15,000 children annually, hosting birthday parties, educational workshops, and community events that bring families together. Our commitment to safety, creativity, and childhood development remains at the heart of everything we do.

What Parents Say
Real experiences from families who love Urban Sprouts Play
"Urban Sprouts Play has been a lifesaver during Toronto's long winters! My twins absolutely love the climbing walls and creative workshops. The staff is incredibly attentive, and I always feel confident about their safety. We've been regular visitors for over two years now."
"We hosted our daughter's 7th birthday party here and it exceeded all expectations. Riley and the team took care of everything - decorations, activities, even the cleanup! Our daughter still talks about her 'best birthday ever' months later. Highly recommend!"
"As a grandmother, I appreciate how Urban Sprouts Play caters to different age groups. My 3-year-old granddaughter loves the soft play area, while her 8-year-old brother enjoys the obstacle courses. It's wonderful to have a place where the whole family can enjoy together."
