About
HippoHopp in Brookhaven is a well-established indoor playground that Atlanta parents have relied on for years as a go-to rainy day and cold weather solution. Located on Briarwood Street NE, it's convenient for families throughout Buckhead, Brookhaven, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
The facility features a large multi-level play structure with slides, climbing walls, and tunnels sized for school-age kids, alongside a dedicated toddler zone with softer, smaller equipment for the under-3 crowd. This separation is genuinely appreciated by parents with kids of different ages — your five-year-old can go full speed while your toddler explores in a safer, calmer section nearby.
One standout feature compared to many Atlanta-area indoor playgrounds is the on-site café. You don't have to pack up and leave to feed hungry kids — the café serves kid-friendly meals and snacks, letting families extend their visit naturally.
Weekend afternoons skew heavily toward birthday party bookings, which can make the space feel crowded and loud. Weekday mornings (Tuesday through Friday, as Monday is closed) are dramatically more relaxed and give your kids more room to run.
Important note: HippoHopp is closed on Mondays. This is a common point of confusion — always check their current hours before visiting, especially around holidays.
Grip socks are required for all children. Bring your own to save a couple of dollars at the door.

Why Kids Love It
HippoHopp in Brookhaven has a large multi-level indoor play structure with tunnels, slides, and climbing walls that keeps energetic kids between ages 2 and 10 occupied for hours. The mix of a dedicated toddler zone and a bigger kid section means siblings of different ages both have their own space to explore without older kids dominating. The on-site café means the whole family can refuel without packing up and leaving mid-session.
