We are implementing the latest health and safety requirements / recommendations by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). To ensure everyone’s safety, we ask that you please follow these guidelines while vising Lidia’s Play Cafe.
- Adults and children over the age of 2 years old are required to wear a mask inside our venue (inside the play area and when navigating throughout the dining area) whether they are vaccinated or not.
- Everyone who enters the venue and play space must wash or sanitize their hands.
- As of June 8, 2021, Lidia's Play Café no longer requires an appointment to join a play session. This means we are going back to the good old days where we time your play session (90 minutes) from the time you enter the playroom. Appointment slots are still available for those who wish to secure a spot for a specific time. And our staff will continue to conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfecting routine before each scheduled play session (9:00AM, 11:15AM, 2:00PM and 4:15PM). Cleaning will also be conducted throughout the day. Please call us before you drop in to make sure the playroom is available - classes and/or possible Private Play Sessions may make the room unavailable.
- In order to maintain proper social distancing, we will be limiting our play space capacity to fourteen (14) people (children & adults combined) per Open Play session.
- Adults are required to accompany their child(ren) inside the play space at all times. Children cannot be left in the play area unattended. Parents are strongly encouraged to monitor and deter their children from engaging in play activities that increase the spread of germs (such as putting toys in their mouths). To make it easier, we removed any toys that are difficult to disinfect and sanitize and introduced new ones that are better suited for safety.
- Our staff will pay closer attention to all toys in use. Extra yucky bins are added throughout the space so parents can conveniently pull toys out of play. All toys and units will go through a deep cleaning process at the end of every scheduled session.
- Food and beverages are available from our coffee bar. Indoor dining is permitted.
- We added new COVID -19 related information to our waiver of responsibility. As a result, all patrons will be asked to fill out our online waiver prior to entrance into the play space. The new waiver is required for all participants, whether you filled one out in the past or not. You may save time by filling out this waiver prior to visiting on our home page or by clicking here.
Please note that our guidelines are subject to change as the CDC recommendations change and as the NYC rules for indoor restrictions change. Call if you have any questions about our safety protocol.
