Småland at IKEA, St. Louis City

Location: 1 Ikea Way, St. Louis, MO 63110

Småland is a free forest-themed play area at IKEA. While your kids are playing, you can enjoy your shopping experience knowing your children will be safe and cared for. When you arrive you fill out a form and check your kids in. They have to be between 37 and 54 inches tall and potty trained. They will give you a beeper and write down what time you need to get the kids by (you get 60 mins). 

There are many toys to play with including blocks, magnatiles, dominoes, musical toys, trains, and cars and trucks. There is also a ball pit, a kitchen, and a slide. There is an upper area where they show movies. They always have crayons and a craft going on as well.  It's an excellent service that IKEA provides! They do limit the room to a certain number of kids so if it's a weekend or holiday you may have to wait. The food at IKEA is wonderful and inexpensive so you could easily spend a few hours here playing, shopping, and eating.
