Recharge & Play Wellness Café - Waterloo, Ontario

Amazing Recharge & Work experience! I brought my 2 year old in on her PD DAY. There was an amazing ECE who watched her for 3 hours as I did work in the lobby and enjoyed my coffee. All for only $40. Best deal in town. My daughter loved her time and did not want to leave. This is our second time and we will certainly be returning! Keep up the great work team! Impressive variety of toys for babies and young kids! Comfy for parents too.

This is an amazing business that offers so many excellent services. Erin Clark is an amazing massage therapist. When I have arrived early for my appointments, its obvious how much the families enjoy both the indoor playground and the interactions with the staff. It's a cheerful, supportive environment that celebrates children of all ages where they feel secure and at home. In fact, I'm 53 and I feel cheered and supported too!

Great place. I brought my young daughter in for the morning. Lena did our hair and Stephanie did mani/pedis for us. They both went above and beyond. I absolutley recommend this place. Then of course my daughter played in the play centre, while i enjoyed a coffee. Very clean, lots for her to do.

Found this gem via Google search while house sitting for family. Staff are friendly & knowledgeable. Signed up for the work and play option - I was able to sit at a table and work on my computer while their staff played/watched over my daughter. Liz was great and unphased with my grumpy toddler. She was able to win her over and she seemed to enjoy herself! Counter staff were great and made a delicious mocha while I worked 😊 Great place and will definitely bring the kiddos again!

We were excited to visit Recharge and Play, and while my child enjoyed themselves, I did notice a few things that could improve the experience.

The play structure had quite a bit of dust (behind the netting), and the discovery play sets (like the grocery store and diner) were missing majority of the accessories. Most of them appeared to be thrown behind the play structure.

It was a bit disappointing for me, as I feel my child could have had an even better time, though they didn’t seem to notice anything was missing. Overall, my child had a good time, but I would like to see a cleaner environment in the future.

I loved it, and I recommend it for little kids. Only a few recommendations to be better, add an accessible entrance, I was with a stroller and was a little difficult to go in, the train table was a little disorganized and we couldn't play there because was incomplete, and in fish corners were a loose metal that could be dangerous, but after that my kid loved it.
For sure we will visit again.

Went here for the first time for their noon years eve event with some friends. The idea was great, but it was through lunch time and they had no food or snacks provided in your ticket (we knew this before yes) and they advertised a photo booth, but it was an unmarked table with a few props? And they advertised a characiture artist but after waiting in line 30+ minutes (with a toddler...) they said she was only booked until 1130 (it started at 10:30 and she was lined up the entire time). I ended up getting one after a long wait but my friend got denied. If you are paying for a service you advertised at your event, I expect everyone who bought a ticket to be able to get said service. Just thought it was a lack of effort the whole thing for 25$ and heard the same from other parents chatting there.

Not busy at all (yet)! Brand new and clean. Good sized play structure, fun cars, great toddler section, and a good layout. The biggest problem is the smell. The mats they have on the floor make the whole place smell like tires and it is overpowering. Even my little one was rubbing her nose in protest - and we had headaches for hours after we left. It is a great hidden gem if you can stand the smell.
