Welcome to your child’s favorite indoor playground—where they come to play and stay to learn. Located in White Oak Plaza in the heart of Mansfield, TX, we are proudly owned and operated by a former local teacher and campus administrator. We specialize in community classes, no-school-day camps, parties, and open play. Check out our calendar below and come join the fun!
I am a wife and mom of two incredible boys, and a former Texas teacher and administrator. After my second child was born, I felt called to pour into and nurture children in a different way—and that’s how The Playpen was born. I believe the classroom isn’t the only place to take risks, build community, and form meaningful connections. The Playpen was created as a safe, welcoming space for all families to gather, make friends, and grow together.
Our parties bring playful, creative fun for your littles and peace of mind for you.
Open Play offers 90 minutes of flexible, come-and-go fun to explore our indoor playground and build community
PlayPen offers thoughtfully designed play and early learning experiences that support development while keeping play natural, calm, and engaging for young children and their caregivers.

Children explore age-appropriate play zones freely, building confidence, coordination, and curiosity in a safe, thoughtfully designed environment.

Guided, learning-based activities that introduce early concepts through hands-on play, creativity, and gentle structure.

Small group enrichment experiences designed to support homeschool families through social learning and development-focused activities.

Engaging storytelling sessions that encourage early literacy, listening skills, imagination, and a love of language.

Community-focused classes and workshops for parents and caregivers, supporting connection, learning, and shared experiences.
