Upon entering Play Playground™, guests are greeted by an impressive two-story layout filled with immersive attractions and oversized games designed to transport players into a fantastical realm.

It's an adventure crafted for all ages, making it perfect for date nights, group outings, and celebratory events.

Jennifer Worthington, CEO and Co-Founder of Play Social, Inc., has articulated the essence of Play Playground™ stating, "We created Play Playground™ to give people the chance to eat, drink, and compete in an environment that feels larger-than-life, as if they've stepped into a game show." This sentiment resonates throughout the entire venue, where guests not only partake in activities but also enjoy delicious food and creatively crafted drinks.

Design-wise, Play Playground™ has been brought to life by the award-winning Bishop Design, who have successfully captured the vibrant essence of Nashville. The venue showcases elements celebrating the city’s music scene, sports pride, and Western heritage. The interiors feature Tennessee Titans-inspired blue hues, plaid flooring, and piano key motifs, all harmoniously integrated with playful designs like cowboy boots, resulting in an aesthetically engaging experience.

Adding to the uniqueness of Play Playground™, the Rooftop Lounge is unmissable. Guests can enjoy stunning views of Riverwalk Park, the Cumberland River, and nearby Nissan Stadium, all while sipping on refreshing cocktails. The rooftop is designed to be a social hub, featuring DJ performances and a menu that includes snacks and drinks without requiring a Play Pass. One of its showpieces is a giant pair of 14-foot cowboy boots, which has become a must-see attraction.

The menu at Play Playground™ offers a playful culinary twist on classic favorites. Diners can enjoy selections such as Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders, Fried Buffalo Cauliflower, and a whimsical dessert aptly named Dessert With a BANG. Patrons will also find signature cocktails such as Dolly's Strawberry Blonde and Tennessee Bee Sting, which are made using fresh ingredients by skilled mixologists.
