Description

Specialties

We specialize in children’s play, enrichment and fun. We also support parents by offering fitness classes where you can bring your child and get a great workout.

History

Established in 2007.

The Tahoe Tot Spot was created in 2007 by then-​owner, Amy Thompson, who was a new mom. Amy had a vision and saw a need in our community for a resource where families with young children could play, learn and grow together. The Tot Spot was born out of one mom’s great vision, and is now being grown and expanded upon by new owners, Jen and Chris Bloch, who took over on March 1, 2016 after Julia Paradyz owned it for almost a year.

Our hope for Tahoe Tot Spot is to take the amazing business model that Amy established back in 2007 and grow it even further to include adult fitness in a facility that is also family-​friendly. Our community was severely lacking this type of resource, and as former professional climbers and athletes we are striving to dramatically improve this element of the business by offering regular quality fitness classes. Kids can play or hang and play while you get a burn.

New improvements include arts and crafts, Tot-​Time, Tot-​courses and a bounce house!

Business Owner

Jen and Chris have two amazing kids: Coral, age 3.5 and Sequoia, 8 months. Chris is a Fire Captain with Contra Costa County Fire and Jen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, works graveyard crisis with El Dorado County Mental Health and volunteers at The Tahoe Warm Room. We’re both keeping our jobs during this new venture and just committing to drinking A LOT more coffee. Both Jen and Chris were professional rock climbers pre-​parenthod and aspire to climb again… some day. We relocated to South Lake Tahoe 3 years ago from the SF Bay Area in search of more trees and less cars. We love the Tahoe community and wanted to be a part of it by keeping Tahoe Tot Spot open and increasing enrichment activities for our valuable youth. We are very open to feedback and suggestions, please feel free to share your thoughts as we transition.

There’s a new owner here now that has really brought this place back! My 3 year old begs me to take her here all the time. This is hands down her favorite place on earth! The owner & employees are super sweet. The place is clean, bright & so much fun! A tahoe must for kids 0 – 6.

We were visiting Tahoe for a week and looking for things to do with my 2.5 y/​o daughter. Went to the Open Play and she absolutely had a blast! The rooms were full of exciting toys, but not overly stimulating. Lots of cars including a nifty «roller coaster» that my daughter could push off of on her own. Big ball pit and little ball pit were both hits. The trampoline was great once she got used to the idea! There were also a ton of toys for imaginative play that she loved. We stayed for a little over an hour but could’ve easily passed more hours there. Totally worth the low cost.
Jen (the employee, not the owner by the same name) told us the place is under new management since February. Definitely worth another visit if you had been there prior to 2016.

Clean and friendly family ran business. My son loved it. I felt the Price was very reasonable for my son to play on the trampoline and work out some energy.

We needed a place for the 3 year old to let off some energy, this was THE place, he enjoyed jumping, the balls, and all the play equipment — I would highly recommend — the staff were very helpful and engaging. We were included in the craft of the day, even though we arrived after the initial craft session.
I know they are doing improvements, my only suggestion would be to have seating available within the play area so that you are close to your child, but able to sit down (he was there with his great grandparents –both in their 70’s).
Next time we are in Tahoe, we will visit again and recommend all to try —
— thank you Tot Spot for an enjoyable afternoon (and helping the child to sleep that night) :)

This was a great option on a blustery winter day while we were on vacation. What surprised me were all the great options for playtime. More than just an average gym with a ball pit and gymnastics equipment, there was an Art Room, a dress-​up room, even a room for nursing moms and little ones to have a bit of privacy. Neat place and a really helpful and friendly owner.

This place is so much fun for toddlers. It’s a great place to take your lil one during the winter to let them run around in a safe parent supervised environment. It is very clean, well organized and has a large variety of activities to keep your lil one entertained for hours. The tough part is trying to get them to leave.

Fabulous spot to let your toddler freely play in an educational and safe environment! We landed here on a rainy day during vacation and it was a hit for the whole week for toddler entertainment!

Staff was so friendly, facility was clean and organized, and there was a wide variety of toys/​equipment for my boys to be active and creative! Favorites were the ball pit, car ramp, train table, kitchen, and ice cream cart.

This place was such a disappointment. After checking their website we were excited to take our little one for the play time. But once we got there all the excitement faded. This place is old and not well maintained at all. All the toys are worn out and not well organized. The place was kind of depressing and did not have the happy vibe. 15 $ for admission is way too pricey for this kind of play area. Not going back again.

This was a great find for my 2yo son and myself, who were up in Tahoe on a quick weekend getaway.
The open play option is great for kiddos (0 – 4) to expend energy and be social! Something for every kid– ball pit, trampoline, puzzles, dress-​up and pretend play, train set, and I’m sure there’s more I didn’t see.
The owner is very nice; there were offerings of tea and coffee for the parents and while we played she found some other great recommendations of kid-​friendly events happening through the weekend.

My son and I love the Tot Spot! The employee’s are super friendly and the place is always very clean! They have a fun trampoline and lot’s of fun toys to play with. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for something really fun for the kids, while you are in South Lake Tahoe.

So much fun things for our boys to do! We were staying in Tahoe for a few days and looking up fun places for kids– Tot Spot was great! Such a wide variety of toys and things to climb/​play on… Any child could easily be entertained for hours. My boys (ages 1 and 3) jumped on the trampoline, played in the ball pit, dressed up in different costumes, crawled through the tent tunnel, played with the train tracks and with the kitchen toys… Plus so much more! Everything was clean and organized– Highly recommended, great value!!!

I was just in town visiting for a week with my 3 year old. After playgrounds and beach days, she was ready for some serious KID activities. This place was perfect. It was like a preschool and a party spot all in one. She loved the trampoline, ball pit, roller coaster ride ons, and costumes. She made friends with some older girls. It seemed like a bunch of kids were locals/​regulars and there was a relaxed and friendly vibe.
I was particularly sold when I read the owner’s classy response to a negative review. Well done!
Another plus I wasn’t expecting was that the entryway is a gift shop area with tons of toys and puzzles for sale. I purchased a bunch of stuff, all perfect for occupying a toddler on the long drive home.
Next time we visit South Lake Tahoe, I will be back!

This place was literally a life saver! We took our 16 month old on vacation with us for the first time and he was miserable! I started looking up things to do with toddlers and I came up with Tahoe Tot Spot. He absolutely loved it! Not only do they have a good size gymnastics area, but they also have 2 play rooms: one with trains, kitchen play, and dress up and the other with a magnet wall, puzzles, huge foam blocks, and other traditional toddler toys! Our son had a great time! He didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back here next time we visit. Oh and the owner is super sweet and very friendly :)

Our 2 year old niece was visiting on a rainy memorial day weekend and we were not sure what to do to entertain her. We took her to the Tahoe Tot Spot and she loved it!!! We also had a great time watching her and talking to other parents.
They have costumes for the toddlers to put on. It was priceless watching a 2 year old bumble bee or giraffe playing!!!
We will definitely be back rain or shine!

We celebrated Rosie’s 5 year birthday party and the Tahoe Tot Spot was perfect. There was plenty of space and fun games for the kids. They played dress up and bounced around with laughter and joy. I would recommend this party house for anyone who has young children.
There is a separate room for food and party frolics. We opened presents and ate some yummy cup cakes.
Julie, the owner prepared cup cakes for us and had balloons available for us to purchase.
I like how I was able to manage the party from just one place. There is a great selection of gifts you can purchase if need be.

My daughter loves this place. I can take her here during the day (she is 1 ½) and she can play whatever her heart desires. She has a blast jumping and running and checking out the toys. There’s a dress-​up area and a ball pit and the toddlers just have a blast. They charge $ 10 for a drop in but they offer stamp cards as well if you decide to be a regular visitor. Good spot for little kids especially when the weather isn’t nice.

We were in Tahoe this past week and needed something for my 1 and 4 year old. There was no snow to play in so I searched and found this place on Unilocal!My mom came with me and took the 1 year old to the baby area and I watched the 4 year old. The ball pit, train table, rollercoaster and trampoline were all hits! There is also a snack room. Highly recommend it for the under 5s.
