As you near the end of your 2 hour party time we appreciate your consideration in tidying the space a small amount but Playforest staff will always be responsible for cleaning and sanitizing after the event. You can help by consolidating any trash and recycling and returning some play materials to their stations.

We ask that you courteously remain aware of the time and end your event on time. We are happy to assist you in wrapping up your party and you don’t need to worry about being out of the building promptly at the 2 hour mark! We just humbly ask that you help us by making guests aware when it’s time to start winding things down.

We ask that adults remain aware of where children are eating during parties. All food must be consumed at the tables located on the tan concrete floors during the party. It is very important for safety and sanitary concerns that food is never eaten in the play areas. The on-site Playforest staff member will indicate to you where food is allowed during check-in.
