Play Store Company (Indoors), Powai
Even in the pouring rains, you can’t miss it, because it is the most cheerful place in Kailash Business Park, what with the balloons, colours and see-through glass exteriors. Play Store Co, which opened a few months ago, is owned by two mothers — Megha Shrivastava Khare and Neha Singh. It is Powai’s biggest soft-play indoor space.

With its three-level tall jungle gym and three storeys of fun things to do for toddlers, this is supposed to be the best place to host a birthday party if your kid is 10 years old or younger. And indeed, there is a birthday party going on in full swing when we visit. So, the store security spots us and checks what we are there for. We are stopped again for not wearing socks and this makes us happy because despite the chaos that bawling kids can bring about, there are alert staff members here. That’s a good sign. At a glance, there doesn’t seem to be anything different or unique about this place.
