Does IKEA have a play area for kids?
We sure do, it's called Småland, and you can find it at the entrance of most IKEA stores (not available in our smaller stores in Downtown Toronto or Scarborough).
Småland is a fun and safe environment for children to play while parents and guardians enjoy their shopping.
Please see our admittance requirements below:
- Småland is a controlled-access play facility. IKEA co-workers oversee the admittance and departure of children, but are not responsible for one on one supervision.
- The height requirement for entering the play area is between 37” and 54” (94cm to 137cm).
- It is recommended that the child visits the washroom prior to entering Småland.
- Children are required to wear socks in Småland.
- Children are required to leave their footwear and coats in Småland during their visit.
- For the child's safety, the same parent/guardian who signs the child in, must sign the child out.
- Småland is a service for IKEA visitors, parents/guardians must remain in the IKEA store while the child is in the play facility.
- IKEA assumes no responsibility for loss of personal items or injury. Parents/guardians leave their children to play at their own risk.
- There is a 60 minute play time limit. This time limit may change without notice, in which case parents/guardians will be notified at sign-in.
Our supervised play solutions are open to all children, and we understand that some children might require additional support. Exceptions to admittance requirements may be applicable in some circumstances. For example, height requirement may be waived for children in wheelchairs, children who may be unable to stand without their orthopedic support or children who may not fit traditional height requirements but otherwise fit into the general age grouping of Småland children. Please speak to a co-worker in-store for additional information, or if you have any questions.
*Please note: On busy days and peak time periods, children may only be allowed in the play area for a maximum of 45 minutes.
