Come play, no reservation needed
Each drop-in includes one adult. Children explore our whole collection of toys at their own pace, and you are welcome to stay as long as you like. If we are at capacity with a waiting list, our team may kindly invite you to wrap up after two hours so another family can come in.
Big imaginations
Bringing a second grown-up? One adult is included with every child's drop-in. Each additional adult is $3 to join the play area, so grandparents, partners and friends are always welcome.
Borrow toys like you borrow books
Members take home up to 4 toys per child at a time for up to two weeks, then bring them back and choose something new. Your child gets variety, you get a clutter-free home, and the toys keep circulating through our community.

Events, activities and a second life for toys
Beyond drop-in and lending, Del Play is a neighborhood hub for celebrating, learning and keeping good toys out of the landfill.
Private events $450
Our dedicated party room is made for small and medium birthdays and other celebrations. We supply toy building activity sets for the kids. Families bring their own decor and food.
Members save 15%, which brings the party room to $382.50.
Guided play Included
Our team leads a featured activity each day, like a puzzle or board game, while another team member supervises children who prefer to play on their own. Guided play is designed for ages 5 and up and is included in your drop-in fee.
Storytime Free
Storytime is a free activity at no cost to you. If your little ones want to stay and keep playing afterward, they are welcome to, and the drop-in rate applies.
Second-hand toy sales Prices vary
Gently used toys in good condition are available to take home for keeps.
Toy recycling $3.95 per pound
Toys too worn for our library do not have to end up in the trash. We collect them and send them to our recycling partner, TerraCycle.
Refreshments
We offer a variety of bottled teas, coffees and juices, plus pre-packaged snacks for kids and adults. Grab something and enjoy it in our lounge area.
Socks
Our play space is a shoe-free zone, so all participants must have socks. Forgot yours? Socks are available for purchase at the door.
