Yay!Īt IKEA in New Haven, Småland, is located on the first floor, to the left of the escalator, right as you enter the building.Ĭheck-in for the service was fairly quick but very thorough. Well lucky for me, there were a few families ahead of me that were there to pick up there little ones and they had space for my crew. I decided, however, to be patient and just check in and see if any space had opened up. Of course that makes total sense, but I was a bit disappointed. My understanding is that they limit the number of kids based on the number of staff working in the space. Well it seemed that on this busy Saturday afternoon there were quite a few other families with the same idea as ours because when we got to Smålandthere was a big sign stating that it was full. It didn’t take me long to find the dining chairs I wanted, so I headed back to gather up the kids and get them downstairs and checked into Småland. I was on the hunt for new dining room chairs and just needed to find them in the showroom and get their location information so that I could pick them up in the warehouse downstairs.

We ate our food and then my kids watched a little TV with my husband (Frozen was playing) while I quickly went to look for the items I wanted to get during our visit. They’ve actually made a few changes to the eating area since my last visit and the previous play area in the space is now gone and they have a new eating and TV watching space for the little ones. You can, however, sign up for IKEA Family and extend that time to 45 minutes or an hour.ĭuring our recent visit, we started off with lunch in the café.

Use of the service is FREE and the standard time allotment is 30 minutes. These two requirements usually mean that the kids using the space are between the ages of 3 and 6, but of course it depends. Here is the deal: Kids have to be between the height of 37″ and 54″ to use this area. You can drop your little for 30 minutes to an hour (more details on that in a second) and then get some of your shopping done kid-free.

Smålandis a FREE supervised play are for kids. Well it might just be a little piece of heaven in the lives of busy parents. But there is one family friendly feature that I’ve been waiting to try – Småland. We usually let the kids explore the play areas located throughout the store, get some food in the cafe, and then purchase the items we need for our latest house project. On previous visits I’ve taken advantage of some of the great family offerings found at IKEA New Haven: family friendly parking, meal discounts, play areas, and more. It is a destination that we both visit often and I’ve come to realize that it can be more than just a shopping trip, it can be an entertaining family outing. I’ve written about how family friendly the store is and Shawna’s written about how she likes to combine an IKEA trip with some other fun activities in the New Haven area.
