Nashville adults, get ready to relive your playground days. Only this time, it comes in the form of a two-level, 15,000-sqft entertainment venue downtown.

Play Playground, an interactive concept with one other location in Las Vegas, has set its sights on Music City with a planned February opening at 128 2nd Ave. N. Unlike typical modern entertainment venues, you won’t find VR, AR, or arcade games. Instead, Play Playground offers large-scale physical games designed for “immersive fun and social connection.”

Level up with these fast facts:

  • 20+ games, word puzzles, and team-based challenges
  • Open to guests ages 16+ during the day and 21+ at night
  • Live music, a food menu, and Nashville-inspired cocktails/mocktails

Play Playground, which shares an address with Nashville Live! (home to DraftKings Sports & Social and PBR Nashville), will also boast a rooftop space with views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium.

While await the official opening date, Play Playground is now accepting advance reservations for group bookings. This offering features game coaches, leaderboards, and trophy ceremonies, allowing guests to crown champions and redeem points for Play Prizes.
