MiniSota Play Café provides an indoor play space and a café in one location. Like the former Wishing Tree and Play & Learn Cafes, there is an admission fee for children. Adults are free with a drink purchase or have a small admission fee. Unlike the earlier cafes, this is not a full restaurant. It is more of a coffee shop. Drinks are an affordable $3-$5/adult drinks and $1-$3 for kids 10 and under. They also sell a selection of pre-packaged snacks.
