Hello! The other day, I was searching for an indoor place where my kids could play on a rainy day, and we visited the "Play Park Eric Carle" located in Futako-Tamagawa Rise. Both of my sons had a great time, and I, as a mom, could relax in this wonderful place. I'd love to share our experience with you!
Experience the World of Eric Carle at the Play Park
This indoor play park allows children to immerse themselves in the world of Eric Carle, the beloved picture book author known for works like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Located on the 8th floor of the Town Front building in Futako-Tamagawa Rise, it's directly connected to the station, making access convenient.
Inside the play park, vibrant colors and imaginative setups stimulate children's creativity. There's also a baby corner where even crawling infants can play safely, making it easy for families with small children to enjoy.
Adjacent to the play area is a merchandise corner featuring a variety of items themed around "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," including sweets, toys, and daily necessities. From affordable small gifts to charming items that can be used for a long time, it's a great spot to find souvenirs or birthday presents.
Real Fun for Siblings Close in Age
My elder son was thrilled with the large slide and athletic area, engaging in full-body play. Meanwhile, my younger son was captivated by the trampoline and a fantastical corner recreating the picture book "Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me." He enjoyed playing leisurely in a calm atmosphere.
There was also a workshop held during our visit, where parents and children could enjoy crafting together. The staff were friendly and approachable, making it easy for first-timers to participate with confidence.
