Pappy's Pizza (Redmond)

Pappy's Pizza has play areas in their restaurants in Redmond and Bend.  This review is for the Redmond restaurant.

This is a well loved (some would say well worn) three level indoor play structure with fun slides, tunnels, and other fun obstacles.

Everything including the little carousel is free for Papa's Pizza patrons.  If you take after Monk in your cleanliness preferences, you might want to skip this one.  When you mix Kids, pizza and soda (no food or drink is allowed in the play area) with lots of hard to reach areas, the result won't be as clean as you'd like.

From a maintenance perspective, there are areas of netting and vinyl that are in disrepair, some "fixed" with duct tape.  The dirtiest parts of the structure are those that children can't access. Apparently the employees can't reach it to clean it either. The entire playground has it's own scent that doesn't exactly increase my appetite.

You may want to tour the facility yourself before letting your children run wild.  There are lots of  places for kids to get out of your sight, and if you have younger children you'll want to be aware of any safety issues that would concern you.

The biggest safety concern is wild, untamed children.  A play area referee is sometimes on duty, but young adult pizza shop employees aren't always the most effective at managing the behavior of unruly children, especially when their boyfriends are visiting.
