About
Land-O-Fun on Coney Island Avenue in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, is one of those venues that solves a specific parenting problem with unusual elegance: it combines a full restaurant, cafe, arcade, and indoor playground in a single space, so parents can sit at a table with coffee and a meal while children play in the soft-play structures or on arcade games within clear sightlines.
For families with children ages 2-10 in Brooklyn's southern neighborhoods — Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, and Marine Park — this makes Land-O-Fun a natural go-to for weekday play sessions and weekend outings. The multi-use format means adults aren't standing at the edge of a ball pit for three hours; they can sit, eat, and supervise from a comfortable position.
The play area features age-appropriate soft-play climbing structures, slides, and play equipment for children under 10. The arcade section with redemption games extends visit duration for older children in the 7-10 range. Birthday party facilities are available on weekends.
The Brighton Beach location adds neighborhood context: you're in a neighborhood with a large Russian, Ukrainian, and Eastern European Jewish community, and the surrounding blocks have some of the most authentic and affordable Russian food in New York City. The Brighton Beach boardwalk is minutes away for seasonal seaside walks before or after the indoor visit.
The B and Q trains serve Brighton Beach directly, making Land-O-Fun accessible without a car.
