Luv 2 Play Metairie is an indoor playground and arcade at 6851 Veterans Memorial Blvd, built around active play rather than a short stop at a game room. Families mention a multi-level play structure with slides and obstacles, including a much-loved large red slide, plus arcade games and prize play. The café serves kid-friendly items such as pizza, hot dogs, chips and fountain drinks. It is a sock-only facility, and guests need a waiver; reviewers note that a completed waiver can be reused on later visits.
The strongest fit appears to be toddlers and younger children. Reviews describe dedicated baby, crawling and toddler areas, while several parents say their one-, two- and three-year-olds can burn off energy here, especially on rainy or very hot Louisiana days. There are also repeated reports that older children sometimes enter the toddler section or attend toddler-time sessions, which some parents feel makes the experience too rough for small children. Weekday visits are described as less busy and lower priced than weekends.
Birthday rooms and party packages are available, and a few guests report friendly hosts and successful celebrations. However, party feedback is uneven. Recent detailed reviews cite unclear guest-count rules and extra charges, late setup, limited party-room time, insufficient setup help, heat in one room, and difficulty getting clear answers about food, adult admission, or outside-food tray fees. Confirm the current package price, included food and drinks, adult and child caps, overtime or overage fees, arrival time for waivers, and room access before booking.
Google currently shows a 4.3 rating from 573 reviews, indicating many families have had positive visits. At the same time, the supplied recent reviews repeatedly raise concerns about dirty floors and mats, worn or broken play and arcade equipment, and inconsistent staff responsiveness; one review also alleges a serious safety incident. These concerns are recurrent rather than isolated, so parents considering a party may want to visit in person and assess the facility’s current condition before committing.
Why it may work for birthdaysThe venue offers party rooms, packages, active indoor play, arcade games and food, making it a clear birthday option for younger children. The score is moderated by repeated recent complaints about cleanliness, equipment condition, crowding in toddler spaces, and inconsistent party pricing and communication.
