Website Minnesota Playseum
One of two indoor playground options at Ridgedale is the Minnesota Playseum, located on the 2nd floor of the mall near JC Penney. Priced higher than many of the other Twin Cities indoor playgrounds, the Playseum is a bit like a mini–Children’s Museum. The concept was created by a mother in Washington DC who wanted a place to hang out with her kids. The Ridgedale location became the Playseum’s third location in the country in spring of 2020.
The Playseum offers Birthday Party Packages. Learn more about party package prices and details here.
Ridgedale Mall Escape Room
Ridgedale is home to one of the Twin Cities’ Escape Rooms – Breakout with family-friendly options for play. All rooms are private, so games are open to all ages with an adult chaperone for kids under 14. You can learn more about Break Out and compare it to other Escape Room options in our article, Escape Room Family Fun: Best Twin Cities Escape Rooms for Kids.
Ridgedale’s family restrooms and baby care lounges
There two family restrooms – one on each level. On the lower level, look for the restroom near JCPenney between Goldy’s Locker Room and Breakout. The upper level family restroom is between Mall Management and the Security Office. You’ll also find a baby care lounge in this restroom.
Stroller rentals at Ridgedale Center
Stroller rentals are at the west entrance and cost $7 with a $0.50 refund when you return it to the kiosk. You can choose between single and double strollers. Whether you bring rent or bring your own stroller, an elevator can be found in the center court near Baby Gap on the lower level and Godiva on the upper level.
Ridgedale Center food & restaurants
Ridgedale has a variety of food options, including both sit down restaurants and fast food restaurants, plus several coffee, candy and snack shops.
What Ridgedale Center does not have

- Ridgedale does not currently have a free soft play area, but they do have Playseum, a pay-to-play area (see description above).
- Formerly held in Ridgedale Commons Park, the Minnetonka Farmers Market is now located 3½ miles southwest, at The Marsh.
