About
Kids Magic Lab in Redmond occupies a specific niche: it's not just an indoor playground where kids run around, but a science and discovery-themed play space where the activities are designed to spark curiosity rather than just burn energy.
The 'lab' concept means you'll find sensory play stations, experiment-style activities, and exploration elements alongside physical play equipment. For a 3-5 year old who's naturally curious and gets bored with standard playgrounds, the discovery element provides longer sustained engagement. For parents who want their toddler to be doing something educational (loosely defined) during unstructured play time, the framing delivers.
The facility serves ages 1-7 most effectively. Under 1 can attend but doesn't fully engage. Over 7, the scale and activities feel young. The sweet spot is 2-6 — precisely the age range where the combination of physical play and discovery activities produces the longest, calmest visits.
Practical notes: the facility is small, which means weekday mornings are calm and spacious while weekend afternoons can feel crowded. Sunday hours are extremely limited (12-3:30 PM), so plan a weekday or Saturday morning visit for the best experience.
Summer camp programming is available for school-age kids — check kidsmagiclab.com for current schedules. The Redmond location (7325 166th Ave NE) is convenient for families in Redmond, Kirkland, and east Bellevue.
