About
Indigo Play in South Austin has earned a devoted following among local parents of young children for its thoughtfully curated, calm approach to indoor play. Unlike high-energy commercial play gyms, Indigo Play offers a beautifully designed space filled with open-ended toys, climbing structures, a dedicated gated infant area for crawlers and babies, art stations, sensory bins, dress-up areas, and imaginative play zones — all sized and designed for children ages 0–7. Parents appreciate the complimentary coffee included with admission, the clean and well-maintained environment, and the genuinely peaceful atmosphere that lets caregivers relax while children play freely.
Capacity is limited to maintain a comfortable environment, and weekend sessions benefit from advance booking through the website.
