About
Fun Play World Kids Indoor Playground's Santa Monica location on Pico Boulevard serves the beach community families of Santa Monica, Mar Vista, Venice, and Culver City with the same toddler-focused indoor play format as the West LA Pico location — but with the bonus of being a short distance from the Pacific Ocean.
The play space is designed for kids ages 1-7, with soft-play structures, slides, and age-appropriate equipment sized for the youngest players. The Santa Monica neighborhood context means the customer base skews toward the active, outdoors-oriented families of the Westside, and the facility matches that energy with a bright, clean, well-maintained environment.
Scheduling is the key consideration: while weekdays offer generous 9AM-8PM hours (Monday) or 10AM-8PM hours (Tuesday-Friday), the weekend schedule narrows dramatically to 5-8PM only on Saturday and Sunday. This makes Fun Play World Santa Monica essentially a weekday destination for most families, or an evening option on weekends. If you're planning a daytime Saturday visit, this doesn't work — confirm hours before you drive there.
The 4.8 Google rating with a growing review count suggests quality and consistency that the Pico-Robertson location also carries. Parents in the Santa Monica area who want an alternative to the overcrowded franchise play spaces in the Valley will find this a convenient, well-run option.
A natural pairing: a morning at Fun Play World Santa Monica followed by a beach afternoon at Santa Monica State Beach (10 minutes away) or a walk along the Palisades Park bluffs.
