💡Pro Tips from Reviews

  • **Socks are mandatory for everyone**; ensure all family members have them to avoid issues.
  • If attending birthday parties or during potentially busy times, **consider inquiring about their cleaning and sanitization protocols between events**.
  • Actively **encourage your children to pick up after themselves** to help maintain the shared play environment.
  • If you plan to visit frequently, **a membership might offer good value**, as one parent expressed high satisfaction with theirs.

Things to Consider

  • One parent reported their 15-month-old daughter became sick (coughing and vomiting) after attending a party, attributing it to perceived lack of hygiene.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! We moved here almost a year ago and this place is like home to us! The owners are absolutely amazing and the place they build is amazing! They offer so many different things for the kiddos from story time, music class, dance class, etc. they do it all! My son loves the events they hold too with characters! Can I give a place 100/10?! THE BEST!

Jordan's Corner is a place I love. I'm not sure if I'm more grateful because my two-year-old son has a blast here or because I've met friends who have become some of the best in my life. We moved here from Mexico a year ago, and my son literally started crawling when we arrived. Every toy at Jordan's Corner serves a very specific purpose for each child's developmental stage, and I've witnessed the skills it has helped my son develop. I greatly appreciate the effort put into each of the activities, the environment, the characters, and the super-friendly staff. I'd also like to remind parents that it's a place with real people behind it who work very hard to keep it running and growing as a business. All these places are an extension of our home, and we all know it can be challenging to keep up with a child as they jump from one toy to another, but let's teach our children, to the best of our ability, to pick up after themselves and take care of the toys and the place in general. I don't want to forget to mention how enriching it has been to meet other mothers and families. It's incredible to be able to form a community like this. Thank you, Jordan's Corner. I met my two best friends here and our children love each other too!

As a pediatric occupational therapist I knew I had to check out this inclusive play space centered around purposeful play and sensory experiences. It was amazing! There was a wide variety of open ended toys, things to climb and slides, swings, a ball pit, crash pad, sensory tiles, shopping carts and so much more. My 15 month old son and I had a blast! Jordan’s Corner employees were incredibly nice and helpful throughout our time there and were cleaning and organizing toys that littles had moved very often. We will definitely be returning even though it’s not close to where we live in Goodyear. It’s incredibly important to have inclusive spaces for the kiddos in our community and I’m so happy that Jordan’s Corner is an option for us.

I recently attended a birthday party at Jordan’s Corner with my 15-month-old daughter, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. After the party, my daughter became sick, coughing and vomiting throughout the night. I couldn’t help but notice that the play area did not appear clean or properly sanitized. The party we attended was at 4 PM, and it looked like there were other parties earlier in the day without any apparent cleaning or sanitization between events. For a place catering specifically to babies and toddlers, it is essential to maintain a high level of hygiene. Even though I understand they are planning to move to a new location soon, cleanliness should still be a top priority, especially given the young and vulnerable age group of their clientele. This lack of cleanliness and attention to detail feels irresponsible and has made me hesitant to return.

This place is so great for my 17 month old and the perfect place to spend summer playing. It has high quality toys, lots of sensory experiences (bins, classes, toys), Montessori based environment and play gym equipment. The people who work here are kind and really care about the place! The place never feels too packed and is kept clean. Everyone must wear socks and I see the staff periodically wiping down toys and equipment. There are so many cute touches like high chairs for snacks, furniture for adults & kids and parenting & kids books on the tables. My favorite part are the unique classes. We got a membership and are so happy with the experience so far!
